Deadline Day Looms…
We lost the Super Cup to Zenit. Chelsea proved they are still shit by dropping points. Liverpool drew to Villa, sussing out early season optimism and, more importantly, both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are extremely doubtful for our Anfield visit.
We have no news on Berbatov, yet. Either way we’ll get to know it today. Hopefully let the good times roll as we get into a two week period of boredom — also called the international break.
Meanwhile, I apologise for not writing up my thoughts on the Super Cup. Or generally not updating this for the last couple of days. Kudos to the folks to keep commenting despite my negligence — trust me this is only temporary. It turns out that I do have a life outside of writing about United, which is what caused me to be off the blog during the weekend.
So, in the words of Arnie, I’ll be back. Hopefully, by then, Berbatov will be wearing the red of United.

3 hours after Uniteds win against Liverpool at Anfield is a fact City will welcome Chelski to the City of Manchester stadium. If Robinho makes his debut then, I hope he scores.

Real M say THEY have made an agreement. Nowhere does it say that Robinho has agreed to go to City. It could just be Madrid trying to screw more money out of Chelski. It may be another Berba scenario, where the player only wants to go to Chelski. We’ll see.

I think that as long as you provide evidence to the FA that any move was delayed by technical difficulties, they will allow for the player to be registered at a alter date.

Robinho is currently in Brazil. Where it is reported Anderson has become injured (the injury hasn’t been named though).
I would imagine that instead of having a medical they’ll just blindly buy him
