These five things I know are true - Deadline Day Special

Week four and it is the five pronged Premiership edition of everyone's (least) favourite column – Yes it's these ten, no wait, these five things I know are true.

I know that there is no bigger laughing stock in English football than Newcastle United. It kills me to say it as I love the Geordie Nation. What Mike Ashley is doing up there is just unbelievable backing Dennis Wise over King Kev. I've wrote about it more than once previously in this blog so I'll stop there but really – it's madness personified.

I know that the Robinho transfer to Manchester City caught every single person in this country who isn't a member of the Manchester City staff by surprise. Robinho is a talented player and an excellent acquisition on Football Manager 2005 but what has he really done at Real Madrid? I'm not exactly sure that he'll be worth the hype but it was all about the splash that the story made and not the player himself.

I know that at a reported £160k per week that Robinho's wages are ridiculous. Anyone being paid that much to kick a ball around a field is just crazy. Let alone for it to be a player like Robinho who hasn't played in this country before. I wish I had some resemblance of football skill and then I'd have quite a sweet life.

I know that Spurs handled the whole Berbatov saga terribly. They may of got a few extra million when all is said and done but for all the upheaval and problems it entailed you have to ask whether or not it was worth all the hassle. They haven't really replaced Keane and Berbatov and when you throw in Defoe leaving in January then Spurs look very lightweight up top.

And finally...

I know that Manchester United's disgusting behaviour on Monday has been washed away thanks to the extra money that they threw in Spurs' direction. This only goes to show that morals only go so far and can be bought out by those with the money. It makes me sad.
