Signing Robinho, the sign that the new owner was serious
Seeing the Academy work start the sign that Mansour is deadly serious

Berlusconi, like Italy, was broke. His media empire, "Mediaset", wanted to buy big brother production company Endemol. Sheik Mansour had just bailed out Barclays, for a quick £3bn profit, so flush with in-europe cash, he bailed out Berlusconi, then became the secret cash behind the Virgin buyout of Northern rock.
Has that cheered you up? How abbout Taggart's puce face after "1-6", and Agueiro's injury time, premiership-winning goal. Feeling better?
Remember how you hated the thai army when they wouldn't allow Thaksin access to his £2bn? He sold us to "someone far richer", like he promised, and is now running the country by phone from laos next door, via his sister - financed by his profits. The army are bricking them.
There are a trillion reasons to feel happy. That's a million million dollars. We have an owner who isn't interested in ever making a profit. As much as he talks about "furthering the profile of Abhu Dhabi", he's in it because he watched a few games with his friend Thaksin, and got "mad for it" like the rest of us. He's addicted to the helter skelter.
Chelsea has a rich owner, but ours is richer than the rest of the premiership, La Liga, Seie A and the Bundesleague put together. Abramovich, and the Glazers, don't control a modern, well-equipped airforce.
Doesn't that give you a warm glow?
Its not like you've never seen a "typical city" match before, is it. Now they're so rare, its a shock rather than a sad, slow-motion inevitability.
Bring on the next game.CITY FOR LIFE said:Zorrin said:Knowing that Silvio Berlesconi didn't want Balotelli, but he had to take him (like Robinho) off our hands because he's Sheik Mansour's woman.
