With a team that's already won the league and a team that has a cup final next week, perhaps it was too easy to guess the winner. Still, this was a tight game in more ways than one.As usual, I arrive way too early (I have to go to each home game straight from work) and wasted time walking around the stadium. I usually bump into more than one person I know but not today. There's a strange mixtu....

TTM Samut Sakhon 0 Muangthong United 2TTM's Sports College Stadium is a small ground inside an actual college. Home fans quickly filled their own tiny allocation and many actually walked to the upper floors of the college itself, packing the place out and getting a free view. The numbers brought along by MTU were too many, and our stand actually had lots of people standing in the aisles, which would ....

One anomaly was the obvious presence of fans who didn't support either team but just wanted to come to the big game. The strong police and security presence and the massive Chonburi support also stood out but all those groups were friendly. Aft....

Not everyone was left standing on or off the pitch for this one. MTU took the lead after just seven minutes through Teerathep who finished neatly from a good cross.Youtube link - 1st goalIt seemed to be a cruise as Samutsongkhram were forced to push foreward, but as play evened out, Muangthong started to look a little complacent. The inevitable happened as SS equalised through player number 31 abou....

Greg at the game: Chula United Vs Muangthong United

It almost didn't happen. Sadly, it did! Forty minutes before the scheduled kick off, the Chula Stadium was being ravaged by a thunderstorm that included a power cut, torrential rain, a tree directly struck down by lightening and a gale. But this is Thailand and storms can come and go quickly. Still, if it had been any other ground the  nearly two hour storm could have rendered the pitch....
