PREMIER LEAGUE - THAI STYLE

Over the weekend it was good to watch some of the opening day games in the Barclays Premiership live. There was two games on Saturday and two yesterday as well, although the cable in the apartment was being a bit tempremental so I only got to see the Chelsea game.
There was also another live game on TV yesterday afternoon - the Thai League Division Two match between 'The Port Authority of Thailand' versus 'Chontabuti Province'. I have to admit the standard wasn't up to much - something akin to Sunday League football in the UK gives you a pretty fair idea.
My own personal favourite Thai team is the mighty 'Bangkok Bank'. Besides being my own financial institution out here, I think any team that plays in pink deserves support. Just imagine how that would go down in the UK?
Back to the UK, and it was good to see Reading's win against Middlesborough got good coverage in Sunday's Bangkok Post. I've still to see anyone out here wearing a Royals shirt though.
