Roman’s empire under threat from Arab invasion
I have to admit to sniggering when I heard the news that City had put a bid in for Berbatov.
“Oooh — they won’t like that I thought — but isn’t it funny?” What do they say about he who laughs last? Initially, I wasn’t even bothered whether we signed Robinho or not. As someone who doesn’t watch much football outside of the Premier League, I didn’t know how good he potentially was/is. However, the pursuit of this player was relentless and very public and when the news first started filtering through that this wasn’t just a bit of arm-flexing by the new boys at City, I felt a slight twinge of embarrassment that this “negotiation” had been such a painfully long process.
