Supporting a team is one thing, supporting the fans who scream abuse at him (check his wiki page) is another..

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

The relationship between him and the fans had broken down long before that. After the Milan stuff the summer before the next season he was very lazy. Taking ages to talk about from off-side positions and demanding higher wages and as well, it has since emerged, of being a disruptive force in the dressing room. Especially to his fellow strikers Van Persie and Bentner. In turn the fans give him abuse.

Besides his work rate at city had dropped to the point where he was being left of the squad.

Either way the chanting was racist, no excuse in this day and age from any supporters of any club... I say that as it has reportedly followed him from Arsenal to City :(

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

I didn't think the chanting was Racist?

How many white English players are told that one of thier parents wash elephants??

:rolleyes:

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Yeh sorry. I never had the chant mentioned by Wiki at Arsenal before.

Glad its not just us then.

Meanwhile, if you like tasteless jokes, check the spoiler.

The African Cup of Nations the only football competition that starts with a shoot out instead of finishing with one....

Did he say that? Imo it's a respect thing, no one expects him to change allegiance but at least have the decency not to be wearing another clubs shirt whilst doing an interview.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

After being shot at and losing friends as well as friends injured do you honestly think he cares about it?? :rolleyes:

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Wouldn't have taken much thought to say to himself that's probably not appropriate for a tv interview, infact why have that shirt in the first place, as you say though, as if he cares about his new club and the fans that pay him millions.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

I'm a city fan and I really don't care what he wears and what he does as long as on the pitch he plays well...

For all I care he could run down the street naked (though let me get my camera out first as it'll get me £250 on YBF)

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

I do find it a bit curious that after giving Spurs fans so much stick for that chant, Arsenal fans turn around and use it at the first possible oppotunity.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Spurs fans mostly get stick for the Sol Campbell stuff. It seemed even worse when he was at Portsmouth. Every time I go to a match I never really hear a 'nasty' chant. So I was quite surprised.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Maybe Adebayor nicked the shirt at the same time as all the boots when he left Arsenal last year :p:

It`s a very nice polo shirt, probably Van Persie`s :D

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

A little perspective on Adebayor's shirt: It looks like the one I bought my dad so we are talking at least 3-4 years ago.

I think the only thing we can conclude that he's tight-fisted.
