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

Or he had it in Togo and just grabbed something. Seems odd he wouldn't notice the massive Arsenal logo but oh well. He is a player to wind people up but given the events I think it's an unimportant slip.

Perhaps as mentioned in another forum he'd over the years sent to his family a lot of merchandise from the clubs he'd played for. He doesn;t live there anymore so just grabbed what he could

Whatever his reasons as a City fan I'm not petty enough to worry about it

There's been lots of ManU players who have been lifetime City, liverpool, chelsea and arsenal supporters for example. I'm sure that it's the same with any club.

Also Adebayor idolised Kanu whilst Kanu played for arsenal this might be why he supports them. I honestly don;t see the big deal here

Is that what i said or even implied? You got that from "quite odd" (which it unquestionably is, whatever reasons or factors are thrown in)? If you want an excuse to rant and get sometihng off your chest, please aim at the correct target.

I know all about Adebayor's idolisation of Kanu, we're part of the same congregation.

Now there must have been a reason as to why I ASKED "So are you trying to tell us.....??"

It's a pity you haven't noticed my questions yet. I'll try again:

So are you trying to tell us the price of fish in Timbuktu is steeper than that of Khartoum?

And yet another question.. Reread the first line in post #1439 and then you can answer my question

Sorry, i thought responding to simple statements with illogical, irrelevant questions was acceptable. Do i have to answer your effort first, before i get an answer to mine?

No thanks.

Your choice, at least now the thread is able to continue...

What a shame plucky Reading has gone a goal behind after that Liverpool deflection into the net

Adebayor: Honest error wearing Arsenal shirt

Manchester City forward Emmanuel Adebayor has revealed the reason behind him being photographed wearing an Arsenal shirt on Tuesday.

The former Gunners' striker was giving an interview following the gun attack on Togo's team coach in Angola last week, which resulted in the death of three people including Togo's assistant manager and press officer.

Media reports instead focussed on Adebayor's attire, with the Arsenal top he was wearing sparking a range of claims suggesting the forward could be returning to the Emirates Stadium, or that the pictures had been digitally modified.

However, Adebayor has admitted that the images were genuine, but that he simply had not realised what he was wearing.

"I realised this morning when I woke up that I was wearing an Arsenal shirt yesterday," he said.

"What happened was that on the Angola border, we left all our baggage on the bus and ran away. So I had nothing to wear and the first person I asked gave me that shirt.

"I didn't even realise what I was wearing. Even yesterday, instead of going to my room to sleep I went to the wrong room.

"Everyone is confused about what happened. In our heads we don't know what we are doing."

The 25-year-old added that he and his fellow countrymen are still in shock following the attack in the Cabinda region of Africa Cup of Nations host Angola.

He will also take his time before returning to England, and to action with Roberto Mancini's side.

"I am sweating every day, and every day God makes," he said. "At the moment I can't eat, I am losing weight. It is very difficult for everyone.

"I will take my time and come back on the pitch at the right time.

"My boss and my team understand that, that is the most important thing. They know I need time to recover from this.

"It is difficult because my personal press officer died in my hands, that is the worst image I have had in my life.

"He passed away in my hands. It is very difficult."

HAHA Liverpool are out of the FA cup!

Well done Reading tonight

Seriously, can Rafa survive this? If it's a compensation matter then flog Torres to us for Â£25 mil, use it to pay off Rene from Allo Allo's contract and get in a new manager.
