It could be from the sheer joy he felt at leaving Real Madrid (those horrible, horrible people who brought him to Europe and made him into a star). It could be because through his tears he couldn’t distinguish between different shades of blue.

Or maybe Manchester Dhabi (sorry, City) offered him so much money that he thought the billionaire Russian had bought the club and was using it to bring him ‘home’. When the world is against you, conspiracy theories make perfect sense.

Because apparently Robinho thinks he’s at Chelsea, not Manchester Dha- … City. Imagine his surprise when he lines up to face Scolari and co. on Saturday next week. Watch him closely when Chelsea score – that glimmer in his eyes may just be tears of joy.
