I can remember you pouring invectives on Ade all thru when he was at Arsenal
I remember making this prediction way back about you.
Waiting for Senderos to leave also and we'll see what you have to say.
No one hates Ade as a footballer
Arsenal fans are riled by his double talk  and senseless attitude!

dayokanu:
What has Adebayor said wrong there? Bendtner gave him a finger and he responded.

RvP came 2 footed and he responded

Arsenal fans abused him and he responded not by using cuss words like Van persie

I am sure when you were at OAU Ife, u were one of those thugs they used to hire to come and scatter SRC meetings!

@ Sauron
I put my own comments there.
Big deal.
Like something you've never done before.
Those were obvious lies.(Damn, we are all tired of this guy's lies)
Ade should just learn to shut up and play his football !
He should hire someone to be speaking on his behalf!

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.

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 !!!

That alone is a racist chant.[/quote]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'

I was referring to Almunia.
BTW, what happened to RVP?
Did Ade dislocate his jaw

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Emmanuel-Adebayor-Of-Manchester-City-On-Double-FA-Charge-After-Incidents-During-Arsenal-Game/Article/200909315382023

Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been charged by the FA with violent and improper conduct following incidents in the game against Arsenal on Saturday.




The Togo striker was a Gunners favourite before controversially quitting the club in the summer for a fee of more than £25m.

The first clash with his old employers saw him catch Arsenal forward Robin van Persie in the face with his boot, leaving the Holland star bleeding from a gash near his eye.

Adebayor also ran the length of the pitch to celebrate after scoring a header during his new club's 4-2 victory.

He is facing a three-match ban for violent conduct plus additional punishment for the goal celebration, which sent the away fans wild with rage.

"Adebayor has been charged with violent conduct following an incident with Robin van Persie, which resulted in the Arsenal player receiving facial injuries," said a statement from the FA.

"Referee Mark Clattenburg has advised the FA that he did not see this incident, but has confirmed that had he done so, he would have sent Adebayor off for violent conduct.
"The player has until 6pm on Wednesday evening to respond to the charge.

"Adebayor has also been charged with improper conduct following his actions when turning and running the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Arsenal supporters after scoring.

"Greater Manchester Police have written to the FA with their views on this incident.

"A separate date will now be arranged for a commission to consider Adebayor's goal celebration."

FBS:
YES BAN HIM. Are you happy now?

Any points awarded for that?

No be me go ban am
It's the FA in England
Sometimes I feel sorry for the Togonator.
Yorubas say 'Ko l'eran ife l'ara'- 'E no get love attraction for body"(I hope the translation is right)
Fans hate him, Ex-team mates don't like him, Africans don't think much of him,FA despise him
he has friends though on NL
You guys can ring him up and say hi.
Emmanuel,clean up your act and the sky is the limit.
Concentrate on your footie career and leave all the side distractions.

See below, the spuds fans reaction when Sol Campbell moved over to Arsenal.
He has been called worse names by Spuds fans.
In fact Ade now makes Cashley Cole look like a saint
~hmmmn, because they were booing me, I had to rile them up~
Grow up Ade, let your brain catch up with your age
Meanwhile, I dont want him banned for the celebration, but for trying to injure a former team mate who BTW, contributed to most of his goals, he should be BANNED

@Kaecy5,
So,if Ade had not retaliated by attempting to blind him, he would be considered a wimp!!!
and because Ade is an african, we should support his act of wickedness.
Arguing on this NL sef sometimes is really tasking

ayusman16:
Learn to watch your matches on colour tv. If u truly watched the match, everybody saw Ade shaking hands and hugging his former team mates before the match, same things after the match. Do u hate arsenal so much to start composing inciting posts. I am sure u got the news from PM. Maybe u should rewatch the game with your glasses on and without ejaculating.

@ ayusman 16
Are you minding these upstarts?
why would I believe Kolo?
I don't need to believe RVP,I have eyes and saw what happenned!
The same Kolo that, on signing for Kuwait Citeh, told the world Arsenal lacked leaders and included Ray Parlour's name
Ade had an agenda and we all saw it!
Let the FA decide the matter.All these analysis won't lead us anywhere

A thread has been created for this Adeblindhen stuff and these'voyeurs' won't leave this thread alone.
@Gooners,
We will be taking on Standard Liege tomorrow, expectations

@FBS,
why are u analysing based on rumours?
Bring out the facts.
Which man city fan saw RVP mouthing obscenities?
Has the FA charged him for it?
All these are being done just to make the FA not ban Ade for long
How do we believe what Kolo said?
We all saw Ade shaking everyone and hugging before the match.
He abused Bendtner the previous day in an interview, and Bendtner didnt snub him
and even after he hugged diaby, Song(who he kicked), Gallas(who he clashed with during the match)
So, what's Kolo saying?

@Fuke,
Please don't mind these guys.
If Ade wasn't wrong or told that what he did was wrong, why is he apologising?
Why are they( FA) charging him for the two incidents?
Kolo would defend Ade now, because they are team mates, or you expect him to add to the Ade scolding?
Why would Ade expect love from the Arsenal fans when he singled them out for blame for his mediocre season(07/08) ?
Really, I don't give a f@*K about his celebrations?(a hefty fine should do)
He just showed he lacked class and he hasn't grown up.
But the challenge on RVP was despicable.
He set out to injure him.
I am surprised at some people here, trying to justify Ade's assault on RVP as being fantastic because Robin tried to injure him in the initial tackle.
Are u guys civil at all?
Ade kicked Song, Song kicked him back in retaliation and got carded.
Well, i guessed at first, it was the media rant that led to Ade's charge.
Let's see what will happen, but I bet you Ade would be banned!
BTW, for those of you who dont know the origin of the Ade song, The spuds changed that song to the dad and mum bashing, and that horrible song has been heard at OT and SB before, so what's everyone on about if Gooners sing it.
Please look at this again

Who cares what Keane said?
What does he do for a living these days sef?
Why not let's ask for Cantona's opinion too?

Abeg let's talk about something else joo
I will like Ade's ban to start after sunday.
Let's see if he kicks Rooney in the groin area, it will be seen as a mistake
that it was Rooney that called him a chipmunk first!

@Sauron
Why are u happy it was just a few weeks ago that UEFA just woke up about players'diving?
when Ronaldo was diving allover d place why didnt u want UEFA to stamp out diving back then.
Dudu played against Manure 5 times?
Maybe just once as a starter,rest as cameo appearances.
You make me laugh.
U said Dudu was useless against Terry and Upson at Wembley
How about before his injury, when he scored a beauty against England
U just bring up stuff to suit yourself
No one is even talking about Dudu's quality as a player
We were just talking about the plain daftness exhibited by UEFA banning him in the first place
when players dive and cheat every match.
I knew it wouldn't work
We have been vindicated!

@Davidylan
Do not let the scummies toy with your mind
Ade was not commited to the cause and was becoming a disruptive influence in the dressing room(that's obvious now)
Why keep an unhappy player with you?
He had his wages raised twice in 3 and a half years
Ade felt he was bigger than everyone in Arsenal because Barca and Milan were 'tapping ' him up.
Citeh would soon discover the kind of player he is, watch out when he scores 30 this season and see whether he wont start his 'Beyonce' talk again.
It's all about him,him,him and never the team
Grey bast*£d

If Eduardo is useless, why were all of you celebrating?
How many goals has Dudu scored against the big 4?
Why not 'How many matches has he played against the big 4?
One idiot called Martin Taylor wanted to end his football career
How much footie has he played since arriving from Croatia?
and meanwhile,scummie logic, scoring against the big 4 makes u a fantastic player?
Abeg, y'all have been put to shame.
A strong appeal by Arsenal led to the useless UEFA changing their bloody mind.
Shame on them
and Shame on haterz with warped logic and biased arguements

Ha ha ha
Haterz are now saying UEFA pitied us.
Wow,NL and twisted arguements.
All those who have condemned him, including the morons at OT and wembley that booed him, we say SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!
I was cock sure, Platini and his sidekicks would soft pedal, else a very DANGEROUS precedent would be set.
Video Technology is still it.
That's the only way to catch the cheats!!!

@Dayokanu
Can u spot the players with class and the IDIOT in the photograph?
Imagine,Bellamy being regarded as a saint compared to ADE.
OMG!!!

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=303740.msg4542332#msg4542332 date=1252945105]@dayokanu
If there is any justice in the world Ade would miss at least three matches!! Drogba got banned for throwing back into the crowd a coin that was allegedly thrown at him.Why did the ref not ask Zidane what Materazzi said that warranted a headbutt from him? Abeg they where in a football field not Compton,If Ade wanted revenge he could have slapped RVP on his way to the team bus out of Manchester[/quote]
I heard Ade once said if it wasn't for football, he would have been a gangster!
I am annoyed because he's apologising.
He should have just kept quiet!

ayusman16:
when will this dayokanu start posting sense on our thread?

When he stops taking that 'thing' early in the morning

Abeg, let's move on joo.
Ade would be banned!
Next up is Standard Liege on wednesday.
Wenger isn't rushing Rosicky
So we should see the same starting 11 again.

Another view!
What is this?

FBS:
Fab, Nicklas B, AA23 all flirted with other clubs. . .did anyone complain? NO

we have been on this time and time again.
I put it to you and prove otherwise
that Fab4,Nic and AA23 have never EVER flirted with another club,.
They are all newspaper junks.
Time and time again, they have come out to pledege loyalty to the club and deny tabloid reports
Ade plus his agents are dimwits.
Lying and talking rubbish within 30 minutes.
Fans are no fools

FBS:
RVP's tackle (to put it mildly) was worse. Imagine for a second that Ade didn't react fast enough.

Imagining is for day dreamers!
Imagine Eduardo didnt travel to Birmingham
Imagine Arsenal signed CR7 instead of Manure
Imagine Iniesta didn't play against Chelsea in last year's CL
Imagine Lehman was not sent off in 2006 final vs Barcelona.
Imagine Platini wasn't head of UEFA

Ade kicked RVP in the face and should be reprimanded. simple

Ade's just plain daft.
You do someting and apologise few minutes later!
I would have sworn only imbeciles do that.

ahonohai:
Kolo wasn't booed because he didn't act like an idiot before leaving.
Ryan Giggs is booed all the time. . .remember this one. . .


John Terry is often called a waste of beer and Hammers fans have been know to insult Frank Lampard's mother. . .they never react by kicking an opponent in the face

Abeg, just leave them to be justifying Ade's moronic celebration and comparing with Arshavin's shush celebration.
I pointed out Anderson doing the same thing at Emirates, should we ban him also?
Ade just reminds me of a 7 year old boy.
He hasn't grown up and I doubt if he will ever do that.
Attitude stinks to high heavens!

Eastbay:
HNIC,
Please save us this sermon.
Who started the inciting?
wasn't it the Assanal fans?i daresay there must have been racist chanting in it as well.
I damn sure can celebrate whereever I want.The gaynner fans couldn't handle the fact that the one they were taunting,a supposed piece of thrash,scored against them.what kind of game will football be if I'm restricted to where I can celebrate?Nonsense.
Gary Neville wasn't banned.He was fined.stop spreading your falsehood here.
The only thing I can say is that Adebayor is probably guilty of the stamp.But the celebration?Come on,dude.Be real.nobody is defending Adebayor.some of us still think he's over-rated.But it sure was nice seeing him get nasty on his former team-mates!
Arsenal fans have no character.
Satuday at eastlands proved it. Touts,y'all!
Leave Adebayor.With or without his antics, City gave you a real raping!

@Eastbay,
I am taking you up on the highlighted.
Me, spread falsehood?
I hope you will apologise after reading this link.
You didn't the last time

The Football Association have confirmed that they will 'take a close look' at the two incidents involving Emmanuel Adebayor in Manchester City's 4-2 win over Arsenal.

City took a huge step in their bid to wrestle fourth spot from the Gunners and maybe even mount a title challenge when they overcame Arsene Wenger's men at Eastlands on Saturday.

However two incidents involving Adebayor made sure that the game will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Robin van Persie has accused Adebayor of a 'mindless and malicious' stamp after being caught in the face by the Togo international's boot.

Adebayor then went on to put City 3-1 up and proceeded to run the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the visiting supporters, nearly inciting a riot in the stands.

The 25-year-old was booked by referee Mark Clattenburg for the celebration and the player immediately apologised for his actions after the game but the FA have now revealed that they will carefully study both incidents.

In a similar incident Manchester United defender Gary Neville was suspended for two matches after he celebrated a late winner against Liverpool at Old Trafford in 2006 in front of the visiting Merseyside contingent
