Does Van Persie Suck On Humbug?

'Weak grasp of English' - where do you honestly get this from?! Truly idiotic, he speaks better than most Mancs.

Adebayor's grasp of English is pretty damn good or have you not heard him in interviews? You lot are lucky in a way because you can afford a luxury player like him & then discard him when he cannot be bothered, which will happen. He really tried for Arsenal when he first arrived & it was his workrate which started to win over all the doubters. It was only once he had such a great season that his attitude changed & I have no doubts the exact same thing will happen with your lot. I always thought he'd have a great season for Man City & it's already working out that way, after all when he actually puts the effort in he can be an excellent player as he proved on Saturday & prior to that. The trouble will be when come the end of the season he wants a pay rise & to play for Barca or AC Milan. Thats when it will all go wrong, but as I say it's not a problem for City because you can instantly buy a world class replacement but others clubs like ours (& most others) aren't in that position.

How times have changed.

City are on a hiding to nothing over Adebayor, and they don't even see it. If Ade has a great season, he will be off, I gurantee it. If he scores 30 goals for you this season (which looks likely) then he will go to either AC Milan, Barcelona or Real Madrid, not even the "richest club in the world" can stop it from happening, just ask Man Utd. Whether we like it or not, Spain is a more desirable location to play football, and these players will leave. And if Ade doesn't play well enough to warrant a move to one of these clubs? Well you've just given £25 M on a player who isn't worth it, to your rivals.

I love all of these armchair warriors and their crystal ball predicitions.

Crystal ball predictions maybe but not downright lies fifthcolumnblue. Now liars really do suck!

Oh good god, it just gets better. I keep warning you how much you're setting yourself up for a fall. Enjoy Adebayor, he is a very good player who has the potential to be a genuine world beater. Enjoy his goals, enjoy the honeymoon whilst he's putting in a bit of a shift for you. But all this pathos driven schmultz is very dangerous for you, when he *****es on all of you next summer it will only lead to greater heartbreak. Enjoy the player, enjoy his goals, but don't expect the effort to last and don't become attached to the man. I promise he'll let you down.

Adebayor is a great player, but look at Saturday. His criticism of Bendtner in the press on the day of the game, his stmp on Fabregas, his slap on Song, warming up in the Arsenal half and barging past Denilson before the match, the stamp on van Persie, the celebration, the attempt to comer back and have another go at the supporters at the final whistle. Add to this his behaviour at Monaco, at Metz, the catalogue of incidents with his international team where he has either been banished or refused to play on countless occasions, the flirting with Milan and Barca, the blaming of Arsenal supporters when his 30 goal season was exposed as a one off. Adebayor is a character driven by hate and paranoia and occasionally violence (I'll ask you to Google the details of Adebayor's arrest in December 2006 for more evidence there). People of this disposition lash out often and usually lash out at the very people they are closest to (again, google the details of his arrest in London). Like I said, enjoy the player while you've got him (which won't be long) but be wary of the man. Very wary.

van persie is one of the most arrogant and unsporting players i have seen in a long time. and may i wish him and the arsenal fans all the best in their match made in heaven.

lol Dutch... you go on about Adebayors arrest when Van Persie was arrested for rape. You lot defend your own we defend our own.... and amos... if two footed lunges and going up to away supporters and swearing at them are commonplace then our game is in as sorry a state as the section of racist thugs in the Arsenal support.

Difference is van Persie was acquitted and found innocent. You'll also remember that David Sommeil falsely accused van Persie of a racist slur (something despicably repeated by Goatboy at Arsenal fans) back in May 2006. Of course he retracted his statement later. Presumably when a City press officer informed him that van Persie is married to a black Muslim girl? van Persie's tackle was rash, but a yellow card and stern warning, nothing more. As Amos says, had Ade not reacted in the way he did you lot wouldn't even have mentioned it in your attempts to mitigate Adebayor. (Whose tackle on Fabregas early in the game was worse than RvP's ill advised challenge). The goal celebration is worthy of debate, I can see both sides of the story on that one and am happy to discuss it without the need to label you all as racists and thugs- I'm comfortable enough with my grip on the subject not to have to plumb those depths. But the stamp is indefensible and I think you all know it. No matter how often you suck your thumbs and say, "but....but... but Sir, look at what he did."

arsole fans biatching! on our threads again? twoddle off back to your own site and accept defeat like MEN instead of making excuses for everytime you lose!, i can guarntee that if arsenal had won then this wouldnt be half as big as what arsenal are making it out to be,

Mark, you read my match report on the Arsenal page, where did I complain about the result? Goatboy, I've seen what properly bad challenges can do to player's legs, believe me, I was at Birmingham in Feb 08 and saw a man's leg snap in half. van Persie's tackle was bad, but a yellow card. If Adebayor's on Fabregas was not a yellow card then neither was RvPs quite frankly. You don't have to ignore racist chanting insofar as it didn't happen. We were goading Adebayor, that's for sure and while I think the celebrationw as way over the top, I see why it happened. I've said repeatedly, in posts and articles that those throwing things should and will be banned, I hope that they are. The thuggish behaviour you are trying desperately to hyperbolise in your attempts to deflect the attention from Adebayor didn't amount to much more than a lot of people leaning forward, shouting and swearing. Those that threw objects have no place in a football ground and will be dealt with appropriately. But calling all of our fans racist which you insist on doing stands up to not even the tiniest shred of evidence. There was no racist chanting- if you disagree then I would encourage you to forward evidence to the police so that those people can be dealt with. Arsenal sits comfortably below Man City in the arrests league for every season since 2000-01, so your attempts to paint us as thugs doesn't quite cut it (six were arrested at Saturday's game, 14 were arrested in the Villa Brum game). Finally, considering 34% of Arsenal's membership is non white and we unfurl a flag at every single game with every national flag in our squad sewn on it under the banner 'United Colours of Arsenal' I don't think the racism card stands up to much either. Add in the fact that Kolo Toure- a black Afrcian- had his name sung on several occasions and you've got one very thin/ non existent argument there fella.

paul_ownz - An attempted lunge is intent and I am forever hearing in football matches that intent is supposed be treated as if the player had connected.

paul_ownz - Didn't Graham Poll once send Dietmar Hamann off in an Arsenal v Liverpool match at Highbury in a live Sky match on a Monday night, when he actually sent 3 people off. Hamann lunged in but didn't make any contact. Though then again that was from a referee who also thought that 3 yellows equalled a red!

After looking further it was Viera who got sent of for a lunge. But it was a second yellow card. 'Vieira, still angry, chased every yellow shirt he saw until launching a two-footed lunge at Hamann. He played ball rather than man, but the wildness of the tackle convinced Poll to give him another yellow.'

Alright lads? I don't like that van Percy. He's a bit weird if you ask me.

Hello, as a bona fide confirmed liar here (as labelled by all of the Arse fans), I think it might just be time to start ignoring these pathetic idiots. If the likes of little dutch cannot see the blatant hyppocrisy in calling for Adebayors head because he "could have blinded" Van persie, whilst defending posters on their own site who were upset that Adebayor wasn't hit by one of the missiles thrown (not that a coin in the eye could cause blindness or anything), then they really are not worth the effort. The arse fans clearly come from the Ron Atkinson school of race relations, as they seem to be adamant that chanting about elephants in the context of an African player is not racist in any way shape or form, and think nothing of blythely inserting the racial origins of our new owners into every other sentence regarding our club. So, time for us to rise above and leave the poor deluded arse fans to their orgy of hate while we concentrate on taking their place in the champions league. And then they can have a real reason to hate us.

Amos... he's not a confirmed liar you lot are confirmed retards. He was talking about a UEFA Cup final you lost against a Turkish side then suddenly you all said no it was a Cup Winners Cup game against Zaragoza and went off on one calling him a liar. The 2000 UEFA Cup final against Galatasaray not ring any bells mate?

If the facts don't fit the lie then just change the facts eh goatboy. He was talking about a goal Nayim (who he claimed was Turkish) scored against Arsenal which he claimed sparked a riot that he witnessed but wasn't reported anywhere else. Nayim didn't play for Galatasaray and Seaman didn't concede a late goal in the 2000 final a game we only lost on penalties. Fifth lied - not that it would be easy to spot amongst all the other lies peddled here.

So what he doesn't remember the details of the game he's not an arsenal fan... he was only watching it because he wife wanted to. He remember the main stuff... UEFA Final... Turkish side.... you lot picked up on the goal and assumed he's on about the Cup Winners Cup final. He got more right about the UEFA Final than that but that doesn't help you defend your racist thugs does it so no... lets go with the Cup Winners and call him a liar because we're all ******** angels not disgusting racist ********s who should be put up against a wall and shot.
