Emmanuel Adebayor Is Innocent. Please Support Him

I think if he meant the stamp and it looks like he does then he should get a 3 match ban. I also think RVP should get a 3 match ban though for his two footed lunge with both feet in the air in the same incident. I also think Arsenal should face some consequences for the behaviour of their fans and the consistent fouling on Ade.

Consistent fouling on Ade? Adebayor started that all with his deliberate stamp on Cesc in the first 12 minutes, not 15 minutes after he was hugging him before kick off. Ade will get the 3 matches for violent conduct now the ref has admitted he did not properly see the incident, and probably another one or two for inciting the crowd. What Robin did, although slightly over aggressive, and arguably malicious, was no worse than any type of tackle we see at least 10 times a week in the Premiership anyways, and the ref saw that clearly, saw it would be near impossible for the FA to retrospectively charge him, regardless of what you, me, or anyone else thinks.

We will not turn round the punishment but what we have to do is keep on supporting our player Adebayor, as he is special and has been hounded by all and sundry. The siege mentality is now needed as there are a lot of forces against City and their wealth. We must all stick together.

'Adebayor is one of us' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Adebayor will have a strong bond with Blues now. He's already catapulting into Rosler, Goater, Quinn territory.

erm yes guilty.

Also he didn't get anywhere near the ball.

PMSL @ the video title - says it all m'lud. The fact is you couldn't find any youtube clips that show it any other way. The prosecution rests.

ROFLMAO at anyone defending Ade on the evidence of the above video. This shows it in its best light and it is still clearly intentional. Yeah Goatboy, you're right, RVP does not get a lot of the ball, but my point that he doesn't go in to the challenge any worse than at least 10 PL players a week still stands, especially when you consider the fact he's a striker. It's not studs up and he doesn't make contact, so what should he be banned for exactly?

Dude, he did it with intent! this is so silly!

JT_Daneil, its not about the celebration its about everything surrounding the situtaion. Also Henry never did it to teams who he once played for, you get it?

If anyone understands the German language then you'll hear the commentator saying Ade is innocent. Blimey!!

As a Spurs fan i have got to say.. are you taking the p1ss? He did it, you know it and i know it and your blind loyalty will make fans who i rated highly in the past look like 'jonny big bo11ocks'. Guilty... now take your medicine and admit it. p.s. he will always be a gooner in my eyes!

you tw*t wedgie, Henry never played for sp*rs, see the difference?? would any of us cared about 'barndoors celebration had we not had to put up with the useless backbiting greedy donkey for 3 years? not half as much. seriously take those grundies back out of your crevice wedgie, it's obviously making your eyes water and impairing your judgement.

whiteboy i and alot of other city fans agree he should be banned for the kick, but the celebration and the newspaper witch hunt is a completely different matter, also the injustice of persygirl getting off with his 2 footed lunge, both incidents should be looked at, at the same time and both players punished (ok ade deserves more than persy) but the fact remains hes got off soct free!, anyway the city fans are wound up over the press most of all even you must of seen the articles in teh press asking arsenal fans to boo ade this has got to be unacceptable hasnt it?

wassup arseole fans do you not like the truth? ask your board to spend some of that cash they are hoarding then maybe you wont be so bitter everytime i a player leaves, NOW REPEAT AFTER ME, ARSENAL GOT OWNED IN MANCHESTER!!!!

mark.mcfc, i ahve to say if you want to play with the big boys this is goingto happen. Your not in their gang yet and things will go for you and against. van persie slid in with 2 feet, yes, but he didnt intentionally stamp on a fellow proffessionals head! he did it. And articles like this will only turn fans of other teams against you. Had this incident have been Keane or Defoe at my club, i would have welcomed the ban. Where will this stop if not?

Oi oi Wedged - judging by your lingo you're not from Manchester...that completely discredits you in Adebayor's (racist) opinion towards football supporters. Run along now.

i aint from manchester? are you a pleb? do you wanna flake in that, is that good enough for ya balDrICK

did i mention racism?

Well, Paulsito, Henry did it. That's all I care about. Did you lot condemn Henry for it then?

anyway its defo time to put this one to bed you got owned and you dont like it, its time to move on we need to set our thoughts on manure, us fans need to be mentally ready as much as the players, im sure the hacks will be out in force for the derby so weve got this all to come again next week what fun ;) anyway guys no hard feelings towards our poorer southern neighbors its bound to hurt them realising that they are now the 5th best team in the prem ;)

A warning Wedged, the season is a marathon not 4 games long. Perspective please. Remember its he who laughs last, laughs the best" Time will tell!

Im sure you saw it as She Wore but i like the play on his name. Yours is Blue Moaner ha ha im so funny let me add a little abreviation... LMAO there you go

The video evidence is not conclusive. Anybody that says the video is conclusive is of very small intellect and very large ego. There can be no doubt that Van Persie was injured by the boot of Ade, but to say it was intentional is a whole other thing. Keeping in mind that the video is in very slow motion is misleading. Watch the incident (it is not a challenge as Van Persie is the player making a challenge) in real time and it looks very different. My personal opinion is that when Van Persie took out Ade's legs, Ade was okay to come down on top of him...I don't think he intended to get him in the head but I think he was okay with landing on him. As to the celebration.....Van Persie's conduct post goal was far more insulting than Ade's run and slide. I would rather someone slide on their knees in front of me (in their home stadium never the less) then tell me to ***** off repeatedly. But this is a personal preference. Perhaps the members of the FA meet each week and open with a good old ***** You to one another to get things going. This is a mockery and injustice but it isn't the first time and won't be the last time an such a thing occurs. Ozi gooner......thanks for visiting our site and having an interest in our club. While I don't agree with what you wrote I can understand your anger. I just think you need to look at Van Persie's challenge and conduct a bit closer. While he is a great player he certainly isn't perfect. His arrogance and aggression shouldn't be brushed off solely as he is a hard competitor. If this was true your damning of Ade would amount to the same thing. You can't have it both ways I'm afraid.

The celebration and the stamp you are entitled to your own opinion on. But calling Adebayor "one of our own"and implying this will create a bond between him and you lot. Jesus, youlot are gonna be so *****ed off come next summer, you really are. In fact,I'm saving this one and I'll come back to you in September 2010 with the link and see what you reckon. Adebayor's got such a strong bond with you that he pointedly ignored every single one of you when he scored. Enjoy the man's goals, he is a very good player indeed. But don't get too sucked in, it'll only increase your frustration next summer. Believe me.

Ahhh poor ManSh*tty, gonna be without Adepaymemore for the Manchester derby. Now I am looking forward to you getting spanked by ManUre and Hughes and you pathetic fans crying at OT. Then you can comfort yourselves with your new found friend Adepaymemore, who cares and loves you so much that he wasn't bothered to celebrate with you. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

Everybody laugh at Arsenal- hahahahahahaha

Oh do be quiet shewore!!

I think that we'll all agree to disagree on this one - Adebayor is a City player so all real City fans will stick up for him where as Arsenal fans have their own agenda against him and are bitter after losing the match so want their pound of flesh. Different angles tell different stories and the referee was ok with both the Van Persie tackle and the alleged Adebayor stamp from less than 5 yards away and all the arguments and animosity have been stirred up by interfering television companies and newspapers who are looking to fill their air-time or column inches with things that get them publicity.

Paulsito you are a *****er. I feel sorry for you in a way that is bordering on pity. Good luck in your rehabilitation and reintegration back into society. I wish you a speedy recovery.
