Knackered just thinking about it
The Thai season ended in October. The new season starts in March. By utilising the toes on my left foot, a pot of paint and a box of donuts I calculate a five month close season.
Five bloody months.
Except of coure it wasn't anything like that. More like five weeks. For many clubs training began at the beginning of December as teams prepared for an irrelevant, sory, gruelling round of friendlies and tournaments.
Now we have the laughably named Super Cup which features, among others Muang Thong United and Chonburi. Who also played each other last week in a friendly. And more than a few of the players would have been together for the SEA Games and/or the Asian Cup qualifiers.
Forget mai pen rai, some of these players are gonna be seriously sick to death of each other. The lucky ones are them who only have to play club football in Indonesia.
In the new year it will be the turn of Thai Port to hold a four team tournament featuring two other Thai teams and a Singaporean.
It wasn't that long ago that Muang Thong United were featuring in a tournament in Phuket alongside the national team.
The TPL begins in March. It all seems a bit much but never mind. The FA are still hoping to play England some time.
