All Thaid Up | Thai Culture and Football
If you read a blog like this one, you have probably been to Thailand.

FC Nantes have been invited to play against our ‘ull in a pre-season friendly later today, and we are sure the Brigade Loire fangroup of Nantes are going to show their faces.

New Signing Bingo
At the best of times, Footballers give pretty monotonous interviews. But there is nothing duller or more repetitive than the obligatory new-player-signing-interview conducted by the club and splashed about across social media to keep the fans engaged.
Don’t believe us? Then grab a pen, print our New-Signing-Bingo-Scorecard out, press Continue reading
