All you idiots shld stop coming here speaking nonsense, van persie went with one foot. it wasnt even a lunge it was a swipe, he missed the ball

Personally I consider Robin Van Persie a coward for playing the total victim here. He slid in with malicious intent on Adebayor. Where in the outrage there Arsenal fans have the disgusting holier than thou attitude which makes them think they can do no wrong. Who the hell brings real bananas to a match without racial intentions Then THROWS them at the player . Arsenal fans need to look in the mirror and get a reality check. No class, and hopefully no top 4 for you

arsenal fans are sp short minded, a few years ago thierry henry scored a goal against tottenham at highbury at the north bank end, he ran the whole length of the pitch, slid on his knee, just like adebayor did, and celebrated right in front of the tottenham fans, he did exactly the same as adebayor and nothing was said or done, now they are making a fuss out of adebayor, if it was ok for henry to run the full length of the pitch and celebrate in front of the tottenham fans and get away with it what makes adebayor a diffrent situation

The hypocrisy and juvenile indignation smeared all over the faces of those Arsenal supporters that surged forward when confronted by Adebayor was nothing short of laughable. The same socially retarded Danny Dyer-worshipping bed wetters who invariably had spent the previous 80 minutes dishing out the type of abuse that would have Bernard Manning saying 'that's a bit much', were now drowning in incandescent rage at the sight of a footballer celebrating scoring a goal. Quick, bring out the firing squad.

Over-reaction

This isn't a lament penned by someone who reads the Guardian (tend to leave it in the car) rather than programme at the match, but just one who accepts a cocky striker celebrating in front of me is as part of football's rich tapestry as the pies. Charlie George was pulling his shorts down in front of opposition fans nigh on 40 years ago and if a pasty seventies arse isn't enough to start a riot I'm pretty sure Adebayor's kid-at-a-wedding-skid isn't either. Go to the game, dog the opposition/referee/your own team/husband/wife/boss/therapist to your heart's content, within reason, but just do it with a little perspective.

Is it not human nature, forgetting the holier than thou 'he's a professional on £4million a-week' line, to feel the need to rub it in a bit when you've scored a goal? Adebayor was quick to apologise for his behaviour at the final whistle, albeit while remaining tight-lipped about booting van Persie, and for me, that should be the end of the matter.

The match officials rightly booked him for his indiscretion, so why prise open the can of worms left ajar by Eduardo's respective ban for 'simulation'. By using video evidence to judge an incident the naked eye saw perfectly well and dealt with accordingly is to further undermine our match officials.

After all, is it not a case that supporters forgo the right to be offended when they spend 90 minutes being offensive?
