Adebayor



I do not want to bring up bad memories but can someone explain to me the vitriol Arsenal has toward Adebayor? I have always followed international soccer from a distance but have gotten into it more deeper the past few years. This situation was something that I did not follow and was looking for some history behind it.

Again, sorry to bring up these feelings but I would like to know. Thanks and good luck this year!

He made no bones about leaving Arsenal for a fat pay packet and "to win things"

the insinuation being Arsenal never would deliver either. There are ways to exit gracefully and there are ways to slash and burn your way out the door, and Adebayor chose the latter. And kept talking about how much better Man City was than Arsenal (better seeming to equate solely to more ££) for about a year after he got there.

I hope he steps on a sprinkler head and ruptures an ankle.

Oh and then

in his first match against Arsenal as a City player, he kicked van Persie square in the face, then later on scored a goal and proceeded to run the length of the Eastlands pitch to celebrate in front of the traveling Arsenal fans. He’s utterly classless.

I remember that game

But I knew there was something before that. Thanks.

I would also like to add

The last year he was at Arsenal he kept complaining about his contract and how moving to another club would be a dream for him. To go along with his lackluster play on the field (complete lack of effort) and disrespect for the shirt he put on each match day. Not to mention his selfishness, which showed it’s ugly head when he tried to get into it with Bendtner during that one match.

Good riddance

Don't forget the garbage attempt he made to move to Barci

after Hleb, and when Barcelona let him know they weren’t interested in his services, he had to come crawling back. He had the gall to kiss the shield after such a disrespectful offseason. And the City stuff was just icing on the sundae. Or the cherry on the cake. Whatever, he’s an ass, and after Tottenham, City has tied Barcelona as my second least favorite team in the world.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

Not to mention

the insult he made about American Arsenal fans.
Is it wrong to hope he gets Shawcrossed?

really?

His leg is broken and he’s out for the season?

no

but shawcross crocked his ankle pretty good on a challenge where the ball had already gone out of bounds.
