Are Burapha this year's Rasisalai?


Rob goes off on a bit of a CMFC history lesson.


Nara or PT Satun from the South?


Some friends of the podcast give their thoughts on the clubs that might be promoted to T2. Many thanks to everyone who contributed - you know who you are.


Phil previews the games to be played this weekend in the penultimate week of the Thai League 2 season.
