Speaking of Suffering...

Berbatov to City??!!

The final day of the transfer window is always bonkers but this takes the biscuit. Berbatov to City? I mean, why book a holiday to Barbados and then go to Butlins just because you are guaranteed the best room? It's still a room at Butlins!

Berbs has been seen at United this afternoon, so this may just be part of the madness, as is the sale of City to some shady Sheikhs. A Thai politician bound for jail wasn't enough, so now it's Arab oilmen in charge at Eastlands. At least they'll all still be able to fill up their Ferraris.

And in the meantime, Real Madrid have expressed an interest in a certain Bulgarian striker... presumably just to drive the price up in order to spite United for not selling a certain Portugese player.

Don't you love this day?

(LATER)

So - the slick Bulgarian is now a Red. Glory. And City bought Robinho from real Madrid... What a day. And Wyn Evans became the Bishop of St Davids, resisting efforts from Hull to sign him as reserve team coach just before midnight.

BBC site, 6.60pm: City bid officially for Robinho according to Marca? What next? Michael Jordan? Tiger Woods? Superman? Jesus?

No - I've just had an email from Cathedral Road: Berbatov is the new Bishop of St Davids.
