robinho and the curse of no 7

It's been a while, eh!?!

Well, a combination of laziness and busyness meant that i never had any time for this little pursuit of mine.

Gotta thank TheDropper for unwittingly reminding me of all the fun i used to have out here.

Rumour has it that Robinho is as good as a Blue boy now.

The last time i checked the Beeb and the Guard, nothing ain't official yet. But some websites are reporting that the official store is already minting money by selling Robinho shirts.

So, is he the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle, as Big Phil sees it?

Well, he could be.

He didn't do anything spectacular at Real. Fifteen goals from 40 games last season is not a stat that sets yours pulses racing. But, it's a huge improvement from the previous season (8 from 40). Oh, that boy can dribble and do a stepover or two. Eat that, not-so-fat Ronaldo!

Robinho could well kick-start the Samba revolution into motion.

But if he's gonna slip into that dreaded No 7 jersey, then gawd save the Blues.

Remember Sheva, Mutu, Maniche, BOGARDE!

Somebody please retire that shirt!

Amen.
