Not going to lie. Whatever their fans have been singing I’ve found myself humming along
They reminded me of this…

They’re dirty, very dirty.

Filthier than a Matteo Ruggeri voice message. That's why I've always preferred Buriram United and Bangkok United.

He was on the receiving end of a Bangkok tackle, he's pretty shaken.

Well I’m going to call it now.  I think this is the best bunch of kids we have ever had and they already know how to play Unai ball.  It seems Unai deliberately played with 10 men for 30 mins to test them out and ok they conceded a goal but  they competed with a right dirty bunch of fuckers - especially that Ozzie guy that played for Burton and Reading. What a cun*!

And of course the best news is that Madjo can be part of their development

Unai waved him to go back to the dressing room.

I have got to the stage in my life and I was drunk and back at the hotel room in BKK and realised I had made an error of judgment I would just accept my fate.

No Cisse or Mings either, I wouldn't read too much into the players not selected today.

He was definitely sitting on the bench next to Cash when the camera panned over at the end of the game.
Having a breather perhaps?

Theodore Carroll (or TJ to his mates) is the one that has surprised me. I thought we'd found gold with Cissé but Theodore just oozes class. The only negative I have for him is he's only 19. We need to get him our on loan but more importantly is it has to be the right club. none of this bollocks of sending to shitholes like Reading FC or the Baggies; find the right club with the right manager. TJ has everything to be a top, top central defender.

He really was a joy to watch.

I hesitated to say it, but I feel the same.

100% as I said earlier he is the new John Stones.  He’s young and will make errors but he is so a Unai player.  If suddenly it popped we were buying a 19 year old of this class we would be excited but he’s already one of ours
