Thats the trouble with Arsenal fans, they love to dish it out but they can't take it back.
The way the Arsenal crowd reacted to Adebayor needs to be looked into as well. Ripping up seats and throwing missiles onto the pitch, one of which knocked a steward out cold, is no way for supporters to behave, however much they cry "provocation".
Those animals had childishly already worked themselves into a frenzy long before Ade scored his goal, and when I heard some of the filth being aimed at Adebayor from those so called fans, it did not surprise me at all when the player ran down the pitch to stick it back to them. Like I say, it's alright to dish it out but you have to be man enough to take it back when it comes at you.
What about Van Perie's reaction after he scored his equalising goal. Ignoring his team mates climbing all over him, he made his way off the pitch to stand in front of the City fans, and in a frenzy of uncontrolled hate, repeatedly abused the home fans and swore at them. Why was he not booked for leaving the field? Why is his behaviour not being looked at as well as Adebayor's?
And Arsenal fans I ask you this. Why the fu<k would any player with ambitions to win something before he retires, want to remain at a club who have no ambition? Who want's to play for a club who have won nothing in four years, and look as if they have no chance on Earth of winning anything in the forseeable future?
Sure Adebayor is an ignorant fickle twat, but is he any more of an ignorant fickle twat than the majority of gooners seem to be? I've never known a club's supporters who treat their ex-players with so much disdain and hate than Arsenal do. One moment they are kissing a players arse, and the next moment they want him hung drawn and quatered. It is pathetic you know.
I don't like Gallas ( as a person), because of his snide behaviour while he was forcing himself a move to Highbury, ( I bet he's sorry now), but he will never be given a hard time by Chelsea fans. We appreciate still, how he performed for us when he was a loyal Chelsea player. We simply tend to ignore him.
We certainly would not work ourselves up into a rabid rage, as the Arsenal fans at Eastlands did. Adebayor's behaviour is not the only thing that needs looking at regarding this match.
Gooners won't like it of course, but I feel that it needed to be said, and no-one else here seems to be saying it.
