DIVINE INTERVENTION FOR THAI SOCCER
Daily Xpress, in its regular 'Good Morning Bangkok!' front page column has some words of wisdom from the Thailand national team's football manager Bryan Robson.
Unfortunately the accompanying image is of former England manager Bobby Robson who died on July 31 this year.
Robson (take your pick) says: "I aim to develop soccer - and stay with the Thai team."
Spooky.
(I'll resist the temptation to draw attention to the fact Byran (sic) is the manger (sic) according to this story).

Perhaps you should "am to develop" better proofreading skills before you criticize others.
Point taken Monger, thank you. At least Internet stories can be corrected instantly, unlike print. (For those who wonder, I originally published the word "am" instead of "aim".
As a sub editor in a former life I know how easy it gets done (and just proved it), but in my eyes that should not excuse the three errors in that one box on the front page of today's edition.
A sense of humour always counts for something, too, MongerSEA.
There is a world of difference between a hobby blog (with the greatest respect to BB) and a professional newspaper/website organisation. I do not want this to turn into a lets-slag-off-the-nation topic but we all know we could fill a book with the errors that come out of Nation Towers on a daily basis.
