PARTNER WATCH
Posted 15 August 2012 11:54am

Here's an update on our four partner clubs - San Jose Earthquakes in America, Internacional in Brazil, SuperSport United in South Africa and South China in Hong Kong...
Simon Dawkins has fired San Jose Earthquakes further clear in the Western Division of the MLS.

The forward on loan from Spurs is enjoying his second season at the California-based club with four goals in 20 appearances, including 14 starts.

The latest strike came in a thrilling 2-1 win against Seattle as Earthquakes stretched their lead to five points over Real Salt Lake in the Western Division.

Dawkins put his side 1-0 up with only 20 minutes to go, but Sounders levelled in injury time through Freddy Montana.

Not to be outdone, Earthquakes shrugged off that blow and managed to find a winner a minute later - the 92nd minute - through Steven Lenhart.

In Brazil's Serie A, Internacional also found a late, late winner to beat Ponte Preta on Sunday.

Cicinho put Ponte Preta 1-0 up but Inter responded through Jaja on the hour and then Mike in the 91st minute to secure the win. Inter are currently fifth in Serie A.

SuperSport United are up and running in South Africa's ABSA Premiership.

Third last season, SuperSport led Ajax Cape Town 1-0 thanks to Sibusiso Zuma's 50-th minute goal, but Ajax Cape Town levelled with 11 minutes remaing.

Next up for SuperSport, a clash against last season's champions Orlando Pirates at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Wednesday week, August 22.

Finally, South China FC are gearing up for their opening fixture in the BMA First Division in Hiong Kong.

They finished third last term and kick-off against Yokohama FC on Sunday, September 2.

Somehow they neglected to mention for Internacional they've been dicking us around for 18 months over Leandro...
 
The situation with Simon Dawkins is an unusual one. He was released by us a few seasons ago basically because he was bloody useless. He got himself injured and was out of the game for a while but asked Clive Allen if he could come back and train with us to get himself back to full fitness. Next thing, he's signed on a non-contract basis and making up the numbers in our fringe squad side as a midfielder, having previously been a forward. Then he gets a new full contract with us and immediately gets sent away on loan to San Jose Earthquakes !!!
 
I think we should get all the people that must have been involved in "partner watch", sit them down and explain that the transfer window is open and we need all hands to the pump to find NEW STRIKER.
 
**** - I totally misunderstood the thread. Thought someone was offering some private eye surveillance on the Missus!!
 
I thought this was going to be Levy's warning to our players regarding the lustful antics of John "iron my hood, bitch!" Terry, ahead of the new season.

Hey, notso! Hear the one about the blond Essex wag who bought a couple of puppies and called them Rolex and Cartier? When a fellow wag commented that these were unusual names for dogs, she said: "HELLO! They are going to be watch dogs!"

What is pub watch? That sounds intriguing.
Also, what is badger watch? Sounds less intriguing. Is it rude?

The old bill run Pub Watch - bit like a licensees Neighbourhood Watch - they let other locals know when troublesome punters turn up.
Think you're confusing Badger Watch with Beaver Watch......

I had to give that a Sekonda read hiag!, I Guess thats one of your better gags! <laugh> I think all these watch puns are getting a bit Longines the tooth! :D
 
As I keep asking, why are we partnered with SuperSport? We're not the most-supported Premier League team in South Africa, our annual South African mini-tournament does nothing for us, and we've been lumbered with Khumalo.

I thought it was some bizarre typo saying that Yokohama played in the HK league, but then checked - Yokohama FC bought the league membership of a club that in their four year existence was named Fourway Athletics, Fourway Rangers (after a merger), Biu Chun Rangers and now Yokohama FC Hong Kong. Last time the Japanese wanted to take over China, they used a more direct route...
