Where were you when...

The whole takeover/Robinho thing was one of the most mental days ever. I was already in a good mood - albeit a bit hungover - going into work in the morning as I'd seen us get a great result at Sunderland the day before with SWP bagging that brace on his second debut. I remember doing hardly a jot of work all day as I was trying to keep up to speed with all the transfer rumours. Much of it revolved around us out-bidding United for Berbatov and Spurs refusing to do business with them throughout the day despite the fact that United were pushing ahead with his medical, etc. It began to transpire as the afternoon wore on that we weren't going to get him so all kinds of other transfer rumours started to break. It was utterly confusing trying to work out who we were in for but it was totally fascinating too. I got home around teatime, put SSN on, and hardly budged from the sofa before midnight. I didn't even take my coat off lol, I'm not really into transfer muppetry but for one night only I became a full-on transfer muppet. SSN were reporting that we had £30 million plus bids on the table for 10 different players. I texted this to a United supporting mate and his immortal words were "And you won't sign any of them". He was down the pub that night and when news finally broke late on that we were in for Robinho and it looked like we were going to get him, another mate who was in the pub said he started screaming and spitting at the TV in desperation: "Come on Chelsea!" When it finally got confirmed it was like his whole world had caved in!
 
Same here. But in the stretford end. I'll be watching this derby from thousands of miles and several times zones away.
unlucky - I'll be at the swamp again on saturday hoping for a sick swan repeat :-)
 
Gillingham 99 - I was digging up my garden and then came in to find out what the score was after 90 minutes on Ceefax - then waited for extra time to run its course and ended up watching the penalty shootout on Ceefax too - jesus christ that was painful!
 
I was on a train from Boston to New York, was well chuffed we'd signed Switzerland u21 captain. What a brilliant transfer window we had then.
 
Where were you ...... when City beat Scunthorpe 8-1 at Maine Road ... Maybe a hat trick each for Jimmy Murray and Derek Kevan ... maybe it was December 1964 or some such time .... a few days later we beat them 4-2 at their place on or about Boxing Day

I could say happy days but the best was yet to come

Cheers
