Bryan Robson's first taste of Asian football came last Saturday when Thailand traveled to Singapore. He came through that test with flying colours as the Thais comprehensively beat the Kallang Roar-deficient Singapore 3-1. That win boosted his credentials as a legitimate national team coach. What was even better that Saturday was that Noh Alam Shah, Singapore's best player would be suspended on Wednesday (today) when Thailand hosts Singapore at the Rajamangala Stadium.

Singapore v Thailand 1-3 (Mustafic Fahruddin; Sutee Suksomkit 2, Therdsak Chaiman) 22,183
First 20 minutes the Thais showed why they are best side in ASEAN as their slick passing and intelligent moving tore the Singapore rearguard to shreds.
Prompted by the impressive Datsakorn Thonglao at the heart of the midfield the Thais spread the play and often had the Singaporeans chasing shadows. Click to continue reading...

SHORT SCRIBE OF THE GAME
The first thing you noticed at the ground was the heavy security at the stadium.
Given the stakes were high and big crowds were expected that the organizers had decided to segregate both groups of fans from one and other.
And like most games played in Kallang in the recent years, it would always be the away fans that drummed up the atmospher (Why are we the passive lot? Click to continue reading...

Clinging to the rickety banisters I walked slowly up the seemingly endless winding staircase before climbing onto the roof of the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere. The guide directed us down a narrow passageway which led onto an overhanging balcony that can't have been designed for touring parties. Click to continue reading...

After 27 years supporting Middlesbrough Football Club, I could be forgiven for thinking I had seen it all. Cup finals, relegations, promotions. Liquidation, Europe. Memorable victories and crushing defeats. I thought nothing about the club would ever truly surprise me again. Tuesday night, I was proven wrong.

The Thai national team, under the watchful eyes of coaching duo Bryan Robson and Steve Darby are heading down to Phuket for a few days.
They have a kick around on 24 October before playing against HAGL, newly crownd Muang Thong United and some teams from Myanmar in the Word Cup.
I guess all this means Arsenal will have to wait a bit longer for Kosin who they had hoped, and told the media, would arrive this weekend. Click to continue reading...

Bryan Robson is currently sitting at home with a piece of A4 and the DVD playing non stop. What he's doing is learning the Thai players nicknames so when he arrives in a couple of weeks to formerly take charge he will have at least some idea of who will be in front of him.
Thai names are a mouthful with four, five, six or more syllables making them a real mouthful for us big noses. Click to continue reading...

With Peter Reid taking up the assistant manager position at Stoke City, Thailand FA set out in search of the best candidate to replace him. That search ended with the hire of Bryan Robson, the current global ambassador for Manchester United.
While Robbo has been the most outstanding player of his generation, he has yet to prove himself to be a top class manager. Click to continue reading...

Morning, hope your weekend was a good one. An Arsenal win always helps. A birthday also helps. Helps you lie around all day Sunday going 'Bleurgh' after too much Havana Club the night before, but I'm not complaining.

Mostly because today is Monday. Tomorrow night sees the second Champions League group stage game with a home tie against Olymiacos.

In the wake of relegation from the Premier League, Bryan Robson had just one aim for the 1997-1998 Season: promotion at all costs.

The £5million signing of Arsenal's Paul Merson signalled this intent, but as transfer deadline day approached promotion was anything but certain. Robson decided to dig in to the chairman's pockets with a further four major signings: Paul Gascoigne, Marco Branca, Alun Armstrong and the enigmatic Columbian Hamilton Ricard.

Last year you could argue that with West Brom, Stoke and Hull were the favorites to go down, however Newcastle and Middlesbrough filled their places.Were they too good to go down? Maybe, but there are 10 good teams above these two, who made a hash of it even more.

South Africa 2010

Almost twenty years ago England went to Poland knowing that a draw would qualify them for Italia 90. A backs-to-the wall performance and the magnificence of Peter Shilton ensured they had their point and the team then went onto reach the semi-finals of the tournament that arguably saved English football from itself and ultimately elevated it to today's dizzy heights.

Darren Ferguson was brought through the ranks at Manchester United with his dad and manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, giving him his first team début when he was eighteen.

It seems everyday out at Old Trafford, Manchester United players are saying they'll be fine next season.
Day after day. Not sure if they're trying to convince the fan, the media or themselves. Ryan Giggs is the latest:

Ryan Giggs has today claimed that the fuss about the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez is much bigger outside the club than it is within.

In his nineteen year career at Manchester United, Giggsy has seen some of the greatest players the club has ever had come and go, so isn't too bothered about the transfer activity this summer.
