The HK Premier League isn't a fantastic competition. Kitchee and Eastern are usually miles ahead of the rest (although Eastern is struggling this season). HKFC is a yo-yo club that bounces between the Premier League and the First Division. They struggled in the Prem last season, picking up just two ...

Nice to see a 'smaller' club like Kitchee make it to the group stage. Not sure that they'll pick up any points, but at least they'll have the opportunity. Oops, thanks for the reminder.

Brief update: first draft of manuscript is complete; but at 160,000 words, it's far too large. Have to cut it down to between 80,000 to 100,000 words. At about 143,000 words now.

It remains to be seen how well they do because they pretty much finished bottom of the combined standings for ...

Jamie Cureton has left level-six St. Albans City. He's returned to Farnborough , recently promoted to level seven, on a one-year deal. And... he's off again. Cureton has left Southern League Premier Division (level 7) club Farnborough to play for... Southern League Premier Division club Bishop's St...

From a quick search on Google, the year 940 was the first recorded time in history when the city was known as Chungju, I don't think they're quite claiming 1,077 years of football club history...

Bus porn meets a catchphrase competition! That's like catnip to this online forum. My suggestions: South Korea: "Welp..." Saudi Arabia: "We'll make Egypt surrender like Lebanon." England: "No, our hooligans aren't hiding inside this bus. Kindly take your bricks elsewhere.&qu...

The manuscript is now complete. Just have to polish it up and it's off to an agent in the UK.

I'll take drunk Christmas posting for $500 please, Alex.

Good to hear from you again. Been to many amateur matches in Taiwan?

Are you likely in Taiwan for the long-term?
