I don’t want to make a mountain out of a molehill but what on earth is wrong with Robinho?
Tottenham were beating City 2-0 at White Hart Lane and something had to be done. Aaron Lennon was constantly skinning Sylvinho on the right wing and Mark Hughes had to do something in an attempt to stabilise / cushion the inevitable. On 59 minutes Hughes took Robinho off and replaced him with Roque Santa Cruz – nothing wrong with that as the Brazilian was way off the pace, but what happened next really ‘ground my gears’.
Sparky was stood on the touchline, Robbie comes off the field of play and doesn’t even look at the City gaffer but instead, immediately headed for the tunnel. Not a smile, not a handshake, no acknowledgement to the fans, to his team-mates, not even a kiss my ass.
Just to emphasise the fact but when Sparky replaced Martin Petrov with Nigel De Jong what happened? Yes you guessed it, the Dutchman patted / acknowledged several of the backroom staff and went and sat with his fellow colleagues on the bench.
I’ve been holding off writing something similar in the past but I am fed up with an over-paid jumped up nerd taking the mickey out of Manchester City FC.
On his day the 26-year-old is a joy to watch but his day is almost a thing of the past. No passion, no commitment, no nothing. As the headline states, his attitude stinks to high heaven.
Only yesterday Sky Sports broadcast an interview in which Robbie said he was happy living and applying his trade in Manchester. I just wish he would show it. I don’t want to see £32.5 million go down the plughole but what is Robbie worth in today’s market…exactly!
I could give more examples but I don’t want to focus on the negatives, after all I’m a Blue. I’ve made my point and now its time to make yours.
