Convict Colony

Banega, he looks like tevez's better looking brother, can score goals from midfield and is creative and solid at defending as any self respecting argie should be. 2 others whilst great great potential Banega has this season proved his excellence in La Liga, something which has a higher % chance of transposing his talent straight away into the premier league in my opinion more so than someone from the brazilian/scottish leagues.

Don't get me wrong I can't wait until the footy is back but as we are in limbo between seasons your hear the familiar chorus of nothing happening, "gonna be so boring" etc etc. However I am looking at my weekend "diary" and I realise the amount of awesome sport is on is unbelievable and we still have the Ashes coming up. Just looking at today: Lions v Convicts F1 Qualifying Tour de France - 1st Mountain stage :-) Wimbledon - Women's final Super rugby - All games Maybe I'm just a really sad sport lover but I am scheduling my day around being able to watch this stuff and the missus is about to head to OZ for 3 weeks so TDF will be daily as well. Every year I think that July is gonna be quiet and then am pleasantly surprised by the volume of quality sport, what are you guys watching ?

jesus for a moment I had to double check to ensure that the MS hadn't just released their 1st music video, the lyrics were powerful and deep but without being a bearsy lover I agree they have no chance against a polar bear.

This one is a good 15min work out.

Major deal !!!!! presume it must have something to do with Saintsweb discount for durex little fella's condoms ?

This but applied to transfers, commercials et al. Its fun to speculate but not wise to build a business case on incomplete evidence.

If we improve and win a lot more games and he scores 6 I really don't mind, sum of parts and all that, look at Bayern. Team result is more important than individual goals.

Have to say tokes while most of your posts involve some sort of pleasant experience that was actually quite interesting. I think I will rate this number 3 of my Tokes top 3 posts behind in number 2. Baths with my father in law, 1. The melt downs you went through when Bearsy was banned

Also I am predicting they will call him officially dead either on a weekend or on his birthday on the 18th July, if it happens can I be recognised as the African ITK ? Its suggested here he's mentally gone already and they have him on life support. As is always the case it seems here, all his children etc are battling for everything they can milk from being in the spotlight including digging up 2 dead people and relocating them back to Nelsons village, his family (wife apart) are a bunch of self interested ****s who wouldn't do the right thing if it hit them in the face.

How have I only just seen this thread, must be too busy in the muppet show or reading the main board. I have lived in South Africa for the last 2 yrs and more specifically am typing this from my house 15kms south of Pretoria and have to drive into the Johannesburg CBD everyday for work, which is a soon to be deserted ****hole. Like everywhere you need commonsense, don't take everything at face value but if you are a tourist you have nothing to fear as you are a valuable commodity and you should be safe as long as you aren't ****faced in the CBD past 7pm. Staying in Sandton etc you are fine as its a popular tourist lay over before heading off on Safari etc. I choose to pay more to live in an big golf estate as I get little enough sleep at night anyway so want to be able to ensure I don't need to worry. My back door is always open (no pun intended) its that safe, the only estate incident we have had is a hippo walking through a 12000 volt fence (not Dubai Phil) and chilling out next to a golf hole in a lake. As for impact of his death on the country etc, I don't think there will be big riots etc as the hyperbole suggests, I think as one of the other posters says his achievements on what he has done since he came out will bring pride to the country and it will be more of a celebration etc. The ANC have got to where they are through sheer weight of numbers but I hope and believe the cronyism that is prevalent in the party will soon be diluted due to their need to be a lean demonstrative party as a competing party called the Democratic Alliance (Helen Zille - impressive lady) leads them and they are making inroads in traditional ANC voting blocks. The biggest issue Africa has generally is the historical association of race which breeds a sense of entitlement across some of the more extreme ends of the divide, until this changes, the corruption won't stop, the building of safe townships wont occur and everyone will still be in it for themselves. Right I am off for a massive perfect steak dinner and a bottle of red wine that will only cost me 8 pounds so its not all that bad :-)

Woah..... where is he getting the 300K to spend a month on ? I would look myself but about to travel does he have all the good players under contract or does he own his own bank ?

My bad, too lazy to double check, he's had a hard life

Not too sure but Brazil have been pretty good at identifying talent before and 17 caps already at 23 is pretty decent. So if we are paying 6million more than Andy Carroll for striker 3 years younger who is a mobile striker with international pedigree with the most successful international side in world cup history I am ready to buy into it. What we would not need is his every minute of every game being over analysed (getting used to a new league) a la Gaston to determine if we have had value for money based on a value his club have pre determined, value for money is arbitrary and hard to determine from the outside looking in. As someone else pointed out on a thread if 2 other world class players sign because of him signing would that go into his value to us ? I would think so. Residual value would not depreciate too much if unsuccessful i believe, its just about understanding if the product you buy is right for your market.

37 pimp living the live of a playboy with my *****es working most nights to fund my extravagant lifestyle. Bearsy and Toke's are currently keeping my international pimp ring afloat with their custom so thanks boys

I live in south africa, we are more advanced about this brothers etc, we talk about what tribe there from and deal with it appropriately like my hero Mick Dundee.

I'm changing my avi, i liked my bearsy banned avi as he was big gay and happy much like how Bearsy is described in real life according to the sex register. Now there are more bears than ever on here so I will hibernate mine before hunting season opens. Peace out gay bear avi, you've been pretty jolly.

The Bear banned 1min and then proposed for the banner soon after his redemption !!!! Tokes is gonna be coming for you :-)

Lovely, if she was asian it would be perfect for a sterotype

I can't keep up !!! are they behind or ahead ? am thinking they are significantly behind Transfer Central TNC ‏@TransferNewsCen 2m Victor Wanyama rejected Southampton, telling Southern Daily Echo that the terms offered were not 'right'. -W.

Just to build on that as team stats don't really tell you personal performance, I've just checked whoscored and looking at his performance as a 21yr old this year in the CL only this year his ratings on whoscored.com are bloody impressive. Anything over 7 is very good (Morgan was our only player at the end of season averaging 7.23), 7.5 is excellent and anything over 8 is Messi esq. Only 2 poor ones away from home but the rest is quality and that 1 performance looks like it was amazing. 19-09-2012 Celtic - Benfica 7.01 02-10-2012 Spartak Moscow - Celtic 6.59 23-10-2012 Barcelona - Celtic 7.09 07-11-2012 Celtic - Barcelona 8.31 20-11-2012 Benfica - Celtic 7.43 12-02-2013 Celtic - Juventus 7.03 06-03-2013 Juventus - Celtic 6.35 http://www.whoscored.com/Players/71714/Fixtures/Victor-Wanyama

hahahahaha fair one, is being drunk an excuse nowadays ?

I'm sure i read Celtic started pre-season today for the likes of Bobby Stokes etc, has Vic been in a tournament or something ?

I can confirm we are not signing the french football player currently on holiday in the seychelles as he is here and doesn't look like he is on the phone to his agent much. He is french as he looks french because he is wearing green speedo's and how do I know he is a football player, his missus is much fitter than him. Green Speedo's = Saint Etiennne non ?

u guys are old as ****, you don't plug no phone in anymore boys, you click the sync using wifi box on the summary tab and that **** gets done when you is in the crib yo!
