I went on holiday on 1st September 2008, our flight wasn't until the evening so I knew all about the takeover(didn't want to go, just wanted to stay in watching SSN all day!) we landed there after midnight but was knackered and couldn't get a signal on my phone so just assumed we hadn't signed anybody. The following day, around lunchtime I was sat in a cafe on the beach having some lunch, they had a tv in the corner that just happened to have SSN on, and out of the corner of my eye I just happened to catch a glimpse of Robinho with Hughes holding up a City shirt! Remember being gutted that I was gonna be away for the Chelsea game.
