mukina2:Ah the joke is on me now!!! The boss says he's sick! At first I thought, as in sick in the head? He seems to have a chest infection. . .now the h8rs will say he has Swine Flu. I wonder how they'll line up tomorrow. We've got to control that midfield from start to finish. Those guys dealt with Liverpool last year and almost knocked them out of qualifying oh! Tommy boy should know a thing or two about them! |

HNIC: We all know where it will end. It has to be the Q/finals or the 2nd round. Arsenal have no clout to win any title this season. The 2008/9 team is loads better than the buncha paraplegics your team parades these days. |

@ Krayola U mean U dunno the difference between a racist chant and a player getting boo'd Eto was discriminated against because of his color, Geddit? |
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by ayusman16(m): 4:15pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
~Sauron~: If u can get an erection even if it is once in year then Arsenal can win the EPL/UCL |
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by dayokanu(m): 4:16pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
@ Krayola When assanal fans brought bananas to the field and threw it at Adebayor, how do you describe that? I think thats racist |
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by Sauron1: 4:19pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
dayokanu: They chanted about his father washing elephants in Lome. That alone is a racist chant. |

~Sauron~: That one come be lie? |
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by Nobody: 4:24pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
Could we get over this issue already? C'mon; what he did was wrong and whoever is caught on CCTV racially abusing him should be caught and banned from entering a football stadium end of story! |
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by HNIC(m): 4:26pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
~Sauron~:Why not? ~Sauron~:we discussed this stuff a few days to the match! that song was composed by the Spuds and I dare say, Saturday was not the first time Ade heard that 'remix' It's been sung at White Hart lane, OT and SB Why wasn't it deemed racist then? Or was it because it was done by Arsenal fans? What was Ade thinking when he blamed his poor form on the fans booing him? I have never heard a footballer blame fans before for his woes The same fans that pay the highest bum/seat(permit me to borrow this from ya ) in the EPL? That guy needs some 'western education' |
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by dayokanu(m): 4:27pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
That guy needs some 'western education' And the guys that had western education brought bananas to the field right? |

READ THIS INTERVIEW GRANTED BY ADE http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/mancity/6175361/Manchester-Citys-Emmanuel-Adebayor-lifts-the-lid-on-his-feud-with-Nicklas-Bendtner.html It all kicked off over Nicklas Bendtner's sneakers, apparently. The friction worsened with a dressing-room debate about respect at Arsenal, turned nasty with a very public scrap between Bendtner and Emmanuel Adebayor and culminated in the Togo striker being sold to Manchester City. From little sparks, a pair of trainers in this case, do infernos grow. By Henry Winter Published: 11:01PM BST 11 Sep 2009 In form: Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayor says his feud with Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner was caused by a row over trainers Adebayor has been one of the stars of this nascent Premier League season, a joy to watch as he glides around, linking and scoring for City. Bendtner has also impressed for a revitalised, united Arsenal. As they collide at Eastlands on Saturday, this strange, sad and rather toxic story needs telling. Adebayor has moved on physically but clearly not mentally , judging by the time he spent explaining his spectacular falling-out with Arsenal, starting with the shoes. "I have never been a bad influence in the dressing room,’’ Adebayor began. "I had a little difficult moment with Nicklas Bendtner. "There was a rule at Arsenal where no one is allowed to come into the dressing room with trainers or house shoes on. I cannot understand why Nicklas came every day with his shoes on.’’ (CLASS MONITOR) So he cornered the cocky young Dane. "Nicklas, you are a footballer, I am a footballer,’’ Adebayor told him. "Maybe I am better than you, maybe you are better than me but you have to respect everyone. There are rules saying you cannot come into the dressing-room with your house shoes. Take them off.’’ According to Adebayor, Bendtner "never took them off and things started from there. I cannot accept that. Even if that happened tomorrow at City, I would fight with somebody.’’ Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger, told Adebayor to calm down. "The Boss jumped on me. 'Why me?’ I said. 'Nicklas is 20, he has to do the things that [William] Gallas, Robin Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas are doing.’ "Nicklas had a very easy route [into football]. He had the chance to be in the Arsenal Academy, the chance to be an international for Denmark. Football doesn’t stop there. You are young, you have to learn. No matter what quality you have, you have to listen to people, let people help you to be good. "I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth. I left Africa at 15(NA LIE), came to Europe [with Metz] and it was very difficult but I knew if I listened I would be better. That’s what pushed me to where I am today. "People in my country love me. I represent my country very well. My family are very proud of me. But I can do more. That’s why I am always fighting to improve and be one of the best strikers in the world. I am fighting in games to see how many goals I can score, how many passes I can make, how many tackles, how many times I am coming back to help my team-mates. "If [Cristiano] Ronaldo had gone to Manchester United and thought 'I’m good’ he would not have become the best player in the world. He worked with the United players, who helped make him big. Nicklas just thinks he can make himself big.’’ On Jan 22, 2008, the pair’s feud turned physical during a League Cup tie against Spurs, Bendtner ending with a cut forehead. "Nicklas showed me the finger,’’ explained Adebayor. "I am very sorry. You cannot show a partner the finger.’’ Inevitably, question marks were raised about Adebayor’s future. He could have left that summer. "I had a chance to go to Barcelona and Milan and the money [salary] was two times bigger than Arsenal. I decided to stay.’’ But the fans turned against him, their ire building after a series of uncommitted displays. "Arsenal forced me out. Arsene told me: 'You have to leave because financially we are very bad.’ That makes it more painful. Arsene knows I didn’t leave for money. Enjoying my football is more important to me than money. (NA LIE) "When I realised Arsenal don’t want me anymore, I told the people City sent to watch me that I want a good conversation with Mark Hughes. He has a great mentality. He told me his ambition, how he wants to build up his team. I thought: 'OK, why not be part of this club? I’ll take a risk.’ It’s worked out. The club is happy having me here. I am happy being here. We are one. "What is good at City is that the fans are truly fans. They love you. Arsenal have a lot of fans who are not fans. Arsenal have fans from America and Jamaica. Today they are Arsenal fans, tomorrow they will be Liverpool fans and after tomorrow they will be Manchester United fans. 'If you boo your player every weekend, I am very sorry, you are not true fans. I can understand the frustration if you think the player wants to leave but I said on TV, newspaper and radio I wanted to stay.’’ Nothing could staunch the derision. "That hurt me a lot. That was the most difficult moment in my career. I did everything for that club. When I first signed at Arsenal they didn’t put even one pound on my salary at Monaco (Mr Adebayor, u were a nonentity at Monaco, not a star.). I told them: 'I will show you how good I am and afterwards we can discuss a contract.’ "So to have a fight at the end is not right. That gives me motivation every single day. I now have a chance to face the Arsenal fans. I have to fight for City to take victory. My determination is very high. I have the mentality of a winner. Here I have the confidence I lost last season.’’ He has dovetailed well with a range of strikers. "With Craig [Bellamy], I know 100 per cent he will go behind the defence. One v one, Robinho will dribble. I know most of the time Carlos [Tevez] will come for the ball. But we don’t care how we win - technically, tactically or physically. What we are fighting for is the three points. I will be very pleased to win the title but it takes a lot of time. "There is a toughness here. They are my friends and my brothers. Kolo [Toure] says: 'We have to fight. Saturday’s game will not be easy.’ Shay Given does the same. We have a lot of personality in the dressing room – Carlos, myself.’’ Before returning to training, Adebayor wants to stress his overall "respect’’ for Arsenal, particularly people like Wenger - "he knows I always love him as a manager’’ - and certain players. "Alex Song and Emmanuel Eboue are not friends - they are brothers. We did everything together(Yet you kicked and wanted to break Song's legs). But I am a City player and they are not friends of this club. I want to be in the Champions League next season. So do they. "So between 3pm and 5, we are not brothers. If I have to score two goals, I will. If I have to make a pass that wins us the game, I will. After the game we will be brothers.’’ Bendtner? Unlikely. The sneakers controversy lives on MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT THE TOGONATOR !!! |
