(2020/21) Samut Prakan v Chiang Rai

The start of a new season and the first of 30 Premier League matches

I love the start of a new season! And I'm quietly confident that we can finish in the top six again. We've managed to keep hold of the better Thai players in our squad and we've made some decent additions in the transfer window.

(2019) Samut Prakan v Trat

The chance to get our season back on track against a struggling team?

On paper it's a very winnable game but we are seriously struggling for form at the moment. I'll take a victory tonight at any price. It's all about the three points!

(2019) Ratchaburi v Samut Prakan

A midweek train journey from Bangkok and the chance to catch up with an old friend

Many football fans say it's the finest stadium in the Premier League and the away trip they look forward to most. Well, you can add my voice to that because I couldn't heap enough praise on it. Ratchaburi's Mitr Phol Stadium is simply magnificent!

(2019) Samut Prakan v Buriram

A massive top-of-the-table clash and a sell-out crowd

Despite being top of the pile on goal difference, this is not the invincible Buriram of seasons gone by: in fact they're on a poor run of form at the moment, taking just three points from their last four games. If a packed crowd at Bang Plee can get behind the lads this evening, I'm sure we can do it.

(2019) Samut Prakan City v Chonburi

It's another derby day as we welcome The Sharks from Chonburi

The Sharks started the season with high hopes but have had a disappointing campaign, spending much of it in the bottom half of the table. They've got just one point to show from their last five away games. They don't travel well!

(2019) Samut Prakan City v Port FC

It's local derby day as we welcome Port FC from t'other side of town.

It will be interesting to see how Samut Prakan handles what should be a capacity crowd. Even yesterday I was getting people who have never been to a Thai football match, contact me and ask how they can get their hands on tickets, such is the interest in this encounter.

(2019) Suphanburi v Samut Prakan City

An away trip to the club currently bottom of the league - but will it be an easy three points?

Like so many other Samut Prakan fans, I adored our previous manager, Khun Surapong. It was heartbreaking to see him leave. However, you have to give the new guy a chance. Will he get it right in his first game in charge?

(2019) Samut Prakan City v Nakhon Ratchasima

Another difficult home game against a team with ambitions of a top four finish.

The Swatcats have lost three away games on the bounce, but I never read much into these current form stats. Anyone can beat anyone in this competitive Thai Premier League.

(2019) Bangkok United v Samut Prakan City

Another away trip to one of the Thai League's big boys.

This time it's just a one-hour drive to the TRUE Stadium, located on the Thammasat University campus. Hopefully we'll have some good away support this evening and who knows? maybe even get something from the game.
