In Chaiyaphum for 4-6 weeks don,t think i,ve seen any joint that shows live footie there......and then Bang Chang/ Rayong for 5 weeks oooh the bars the bars

Whenever I'm in Chaiyaphum I get a internet sim card and stream it. The internet is much better now than it was only a year ago and I got decent quality. If the match is on at a reasonable hour i.e. a Saturday 3pm kick off UK, then Tawandang usually have the football on in the outside seating area.

Give you a dam good site to check out. Rojadirecta (google it sure its .me)

Spanish language, look for "Idioma/Language" around top right corner and switch to English. lists everything!

Need s ubscription if you watch games later i.e not streemed! What I tend to do, get following morning watch the games "live" and catch MOTD.

Thanks Delboy i,ll give that a try.

[keithsimmonds]

It would appear you played rather well!

Awesome......... a complete performance,from the very start to the very end.

[keithsimmonds]

The Fa Cup and European Cup winners Cup winners side of 1969-1971 for me legends who had a fag at half time not an orange. Dave Webb who played in every position on the pitch, Ron Chopper Harris,,Long throw specialist Ian Hutchison...........olly olly Hollins.... Charlie catch me if you can Cooke big John Dempsey Tommy Tommy Baldwin.ooh ooh...Eddie Mac...Mary Houseman,aghhhhhhhhh the memories and the KIng.....Osgood. Of late Zola, Dennis Wise Petrescu and my favorite the Ice-man Gudjohnson

'Hooky foot' Houseman RIP. Where did Dempsey pull that volley from? If Gudjohnson had had another yard or two of pace, he'd have been on the short list. Outstanding close control.

Dempsey could dine out on that volley for years........what a strike.

Well, Tonight, our sternest test against a side that beat us twice last season. I go for 2-1 Chelsea and the Untouchable 9/10 to start in the XXI See it being a tough match and a hard fought ground out result.

This is when we find out if we have the mental strength or not. 6 matches in 18 days. against some sides that like a battle, mix it up a bit. Can see Mikel and Ramierez being favourable in some of those matches. I´ve got the Saints down as drawing with City tomorrow but we have to do our job and bag the 3 points first.

[DerekMarshall]

2 Points dropped, but a hard fought draw for Sunderland, why I´d have prefered a few battlers in Midfield. As my old man used to say "you need as many who can kick a man as that can kick a ball to win some games Sometimes battlers are better than bailarinas"

I believe Saints and City will cancell each other out today so all was not lost!

I did wonder if JM had actually made a mistake not resting 2 or 3, but on second thoughts he can do that in their next game on Wednesday against Spurs, which should be their usual walk in the park against spineless opponents. Beating 10 man Villa and Hull does not a good team make.

his team's title challenge went out the window against Sunderland last season, his home unbeaten run was ended by Sunderland last season..., he has a squad of 25 first team starters he rotate's without weakening.

[keithsimmonds]

2 points dropped very disappointing...........can,t understand why he didn,t make changes in midweek and again yesterday...can,t keep playing the same 11 every game. Expect at least 4 changes for Wednesday night..........gotta get straight back on it.

[keithsimmonds]

Gobsmacked..........same starting eleven (bar Costa) for the fourth game in a row,especially after the Sunderland game where i thought we were a bit leggy.......but what do i know.

[Chicog]

This is going to be a rip roaring ten minutes.

[kurtramsbottom]

BUMP

[Chicog]

I should have said 16.

Brilliant example of British Bulldog Wartime Fighting Spirit from the Geordies there. There'll be some puking and fighting on the streets of Newcastle tonight.

And now to Mordor....

The Newcastle curse over Mourinho continues. Mikel played well but he's no Matic. We missed his energy in midfield.

You looked classy and invincible in the first 15 minutes. Not sure how it all dribbled away in the second half.

We became too predictable with some players taking too many touches on the ball. Fabregas's passing wasn't up to his usual accuracy and Oscar was largely anonymous. Once Drogba was introduced, it became obvious that he had the measure of the Newcastle centre backs in the air so, route one became the plan to get a goal. With Hazard drifting into a midfield position, the forays down the flanks became the job of the full backs, Luis and Ivanovic, neither of whom can skip past a man like Hazard can, so the balls in the box came from deep. Costa was generally kept quiet by Collocini. For all our deficiences in the game, credit must be given to Newcastle for their defending and closing down and taking their chances when they arose.

[keithsimmonds]

Can,t fault Newcastle or blame Mikel. My only gripe would be that Willian holds on to the ball for too long and has far too many touches.and..... Costa should Man-up i thought he bottled every 50 50 challenge...........not one of his better games imho.

Well cut me legs off and call me shorty.........<deleted> have you been................let me guess.......working overtime to pay off all debts you incurred on United not finishing top 4 last year.............lucky for you im not a greedy bar-steward and just stuck to Betfair,s odds of 10.8 instead of taking up your generous offer of 12/1. Told ya your days at the top were going to be over when Old Red Nose hung up his stop watch. Still no hard feelings eh. Can,t help thinking you employed the wrong dutchman as your new manager LVG should have been MVG (the dart player)

I don't think Mad Dog will be particularly enamoured at being called 'shorty'........unless he's a chihuahua?

[oldgit]

God, you don't half get some village idiots on the sofa in the Premier League Show, this time hosted by James Riuchardson. Danny (huh) Mills and Ian Dowie were the protagonists last night with Mills, in his usual conceited manner, giving his views on why a certain defender should have cut out an attack that led to a goal. By slowing the play down, then speeding it up a touch then......wait, slowing it down again 15 times, he made his point. " What's he doing there? I mean (huh) that's appalling defending. And what's he doing? Nothing, I mean (huh) that's unbelievable". He has an irritating habit of exhaling a grunt every half a dozen words as though he's saying " Why am I wasting my time here? I understand it so why doesn't everybody else?" An utter knob. Then there was old stalwart Dowie, barely understandable as his utterances tail off with the omission of the last letter of every word he says, but desperately wanting to be liked by his opposite number........"As Danny says...." or "As Danny rightly points out".....or "Danny would never defend like that in his playing days". Vomit inducing.

But the comment that got me wrenching was that " Pardew outMourinhoed Mourinho!" Now Bill Shankley once said "Football is a simple game" but not according to these cretins. The way they were waxing lyrical over the tactics of Pardew, anyone would think he was the ultimate font of knowledge.

Did anyone think that the game would be played any different? If Pardew's tactics were startling then so was Gus Poyet's the previous weekend. Except that his side only drew, hence the lack of adulation, while Newcastle did a smash and grab. What is so bewidering, when an inferior team comes up against a team that was 6 points clear at the top of League, and decides to organise and defend in numbers,then counter attack when the opportunity arises, which is exactly what Pardew did? Clever? Do me a favour. If he had any pretentions of getting something out of the game, that was the ONLY way to set your team up.
