So I've finally had time to peruse that controversial letter from Sir Anthony Rumbold to his successor at the British Embassy in Bangkok, and what a remarkable letter it is!There are two particularly striking aspects of the letter. The first is its tone. If anybody ever asked me for an example of the stereotype English attitude and approach towards not only Thais but foreigners in general, I would sh....

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.
