FourTwogate: City Skipper Speaks Before FA Charges

I feel there is a point being overlooked here, It's going to sound maybe more than a little crazy but never the less I'm going to make it because although I know it will never happen it's is maybe an indicator as to the true nature of certain individuals. So I'll make my point. We have all seen Wenger’s outrage at the Eduardo dive and let’s be honest it was I dive no doubt at all and however the authorities have viewed his punishment. We have also witnessed Mr Wengers defence of all thing related to his club and player by always stepping away first from a situation by saying he didn’t see it, the problem or incident. So that’s O.K. step back take a look at things and come back with your thoughts when things have calmed down that’s the right thing to do, so well done Arsen, that attitude show you to be or rather makes you appear to be fair minded and honest. Now my point, sorry it took a little while to get there. If Wenger is so honest and fair minded surely then even though Adebayor’s frustration got the better of him on Saturday and in some small way went most of the way to bringing out the pure hate of the Arsenal fans. Well how come Wenger has not come out and been as equally fair minded about Adebayor his former player and someone he must know quite well as a person. I know what you’re thinking, why should he and that’s a good point but let’s think for a little longer. One of the things being thrown at Ade is the fact that he showed a lack of respect to his ex team mates, former manager and club. It again has to be said that there is some validity to that but hang on a minute isn't respect supposed to work both ways. Surely respect can’t be demanded and then not even remotely returned. Let’s remember at just this point that Ade did apologise and profusely if I remember correctly. I'm not saying Arsenal as a club caused problems for Ade directly but the fans of Arsenal are also part of Arsenal the players that worked with Ade on a day to day basis and that embraced him at the start of the game are part of Arsenal. So this is my maybe rather old fashioned point now the media frenzy has waned a little how come Arsenal or Wenger out of respect alone, not sympathy (I’m not asking for that) aren't prepared to show any respect what so ever to their ex-player and compatriot. I find it hard to believe that Wenger can become so angry at the dive accusations of Eduardo who clearly did cheat and cheated with no provocation and yet he witnesses firsthand the chants at Ade and after Ade had welcomed his players to COMS with a warm embrace, so why can’t Wenger find it in himself to at least say a good word for Ade. I'm not saying he should come out and defend Adebayor to the hilt or defend any wrong doing but a few words on Ade's real character would clearly indicate that Wenger is a right minded bloke and is honest as he paints himself to be. Well I said at the beginning that this argument was a little out there but personally I can't lose sight of the truth within it, there is something there I just feel smell a bit off. Adebayor is being dragged through the streets by the press again today and I feel the way this whole thing is going we could see him being forced to drag a cross through the streets of London tomorrow. Wenger is like modern day Pontius Pilate he has washed his hands in my opinion of doing the right thing when he could restore some sanity to this media over the top persecution of an apologetic and decent individual. Wenger is showing himself and his club to be exactly what we have all suspected for some time, the defender of all things Arsenal at any expense to the truth and the demander of level of respect that he would never afford others. Hung out to dry doesn’t go one tenth of the way to indicating how Ade is being treated over Saturday’s events the only people standing by him are us loyal City fans and the club, sorry and Gareth Southgate (Thanks Bud) isn't it about time a few others from the football fraternity at least gave a little respect to someone they are clearly singling out. They are demanding respect from him even after his apologies so who is going to give some respect back to him after the chants the comments about his Family. I hate to use the word victim it sounds like a cry for sympathy which I personally don’t see as being in anyway necessary but a little respect to someone big enough to apologise would at least prove there is still some decency left in football. Please tell me I’m not going completely cuckoo.

Sorry fifthcolumnblue you sound a little angry, this point was supposed to be just that a point. I was not trying to throw the verbal equivalent to a plastic stool out there. Are day will come we well overcome this endless Biase for sure.

City and adebayor should launch a complaint to FA about the racial abuse by the arse-nal fans. Damages caused to stadium should be charged to arsenal. RVP should recieve punishment for his celebration and the FA should warn wenger to keep his players from intentionaly targeting players to hurt them during the game. Judging by arsenal disciplinary record, 16 page document in defense of eduardo dive etc - i doubt much would come of this. As long as adabayor punishment is FAIR, all city fans will accept it and wont go rioting in the stands, unlike some mindless supporters.

ok ok i know he had to get a lota stick and they probably deserved it but the van persie incident needs to be assesed and some kinda punishment must be delievered as for the arsenal fans if u cant take it dont dish it out its plain and simple u ran ur mouths he replied with a goal and thats all that matters in the end
