Manchester City 4-2 Arsenal – 12/09/09 – (Premier League) 13 September, 2009

It’s just going to have to be a quick match report I’m afraid but we all know what happened anyway, I don’t think you need me to tell you.
For the majority, we were very good and just like two weeks ago we have come away with nothing when we deserved a point at the very least. When Man City went 1-0 up in the first half it was completely against the run of play and apparently it was offside anyway. Almunia should’ve done a lot better but I wasn’t too angry with him.
The goal set us back a bit but we did eventually equalize through a great van Persie effort. When City took the lead for the second time I held my head in my hands. Craig Bellamy it was and it was completely undeserved again. After we’d scored we were all over them, and I mean all over them and I can’t believe we didn’t get a second straight away.
Adebayor made it 3-1 with a header on the break and Wright-Phillipps got the 4th again on the break late in the second half. Rosicky got one back which was good for him, but at 4-2 so late on it looked like a consolation goal. However we had three or four great chances to score, RVP hit the post, Adebayor cleared one off the line, a deflection and a Given save all denying us the route to a comeback. If any of those had gone in we might be sitting here a bit happier today.
So it ended 4-2 and we took 0 points for the two trips to Manchester, not good.
But it’s not the game that anyone’s talking about, it’s him. The biggest, most pathetic, dirty, class-less cunt Adebayor who has taken the headlines. He has shown his true colours and for the remainder of his career life he will be treated like the shit that he is by Arsenal fans. The fans that were once so good to him for his hard work and goals he now has on his back and in his conscience forever. He lied to us, infuriated us and let us down last season but I think the majority just thought, ‘oh whatever just let him be and ruin himself at City.’ Well now he’ll find himself ranked as no.1 most hated ex-Arsenal player souring above David Bentley and Ashley Cole.
At least in my books anyway.
Just look at Gunnerblog’s post today with clips of the two stamping incidents on Fabregas and van Persie. They were malicious and dangerous and if he doesn’t get at least a three game ban for his actions I will be furious. The goal celebration I can take; he is a low, low person and I expect that of him but intentionally trying to hurt two of our players cannot go without consequence.
You’ve probably read van Persie’s statement on the incident and that my friends is class. Robin is known for reacting to aggressive behavior on the pitch but yesterday he just let it be, because recognized what Adebayor was doing and didn’t want to sink to his level. Emmanuel Adebayor will never earn any respect back from anyone at Arsenal Football Club, even Arsene Wenger who has stood up for him at the worst of times is very disappointed in him.
He is a coward and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him do an Ashley Cole and miss the home game vs. City – but if he does then he’ll get what’s coming to him and you won’t see him acting like that again when he’s surrounded by 55,000 people who he has pissed off. It’s easy when it’s just a couple of thousand fans in a corner surrounded by the police that can’t get to you when you sprint the whole length of the pitch showing more effort in one celebration than you did all last season for us – but when you’re surrounded by 55,000 people things can change.
Well that’s all I have to say really. Poor result, attention turns to the Champions League now though, a competition which Adebayor isn’t in, awww. Prick.
I’m sure people have noticed that Arsenal tend to be involved in these sort of incidents. A club without class. If grown men can’t stand to see someone celebrating a goal then i worry for them. It doesn’t excuse rioting, ffs.
I thought you were mediocre, and us awful, but we still easily won. Every time you get beat there seems to be some sort of victimisation blamed. City are better than you, get used to it.
Anything more than a two-game ban for the stamp would be a huge miscarriage of justice.
Arsenal bottle it in the North once again. You’ll do well to get 5th.
sour soft southeners hell bag 3 at ur shit hole
What a couple of plonkers.
Even Alan Hanson and Alan Shearer made a big point about the stamping and they’re never slow to highlight our faults.
Citeh fans trolling on an Arsenal blog? How classy is that?
Gooners put your dummies back in and have a nappy change.
You got beat and Ade scored against you, it’s not fair, boo hoo.
Grow up me old china plate, cor blimey guv, an make no mistake.
Check out Robin Van Persie’s sending off at Stoke last season or Henry’s celebration in front of the Spurs fans ?
ZOD dont forget your dummy its past your bedtime!!
you bitter load of tossers. You booed addy while he was still your player, you booed him yesterday, and then cry like stuck pigs when he scored against you and celebrated. i don’t agree with the stamping ” if it proves to be true” but you pushed the man to his limits and got your just deserts – well beaten by a team who will finish above you!!!!
i thought we would finish 4th above liverpool but seeing how wank u were knocked 4 past u missing robinho and tevez and playing poorly spurs loads better team than u winging fags
My understanding was the majority of you are glad to see the back of him and think the money involved was a good deal?
Why do have you to carry it on and on? You have to take some responsibilty for constantly winding him up even now he has left you.
If his kick on Van Persie was intentional then that cant be condoned and he will be dealt with.
The goal celebration was not clever and he has admitted that was a mistake. However dont you think the supporters who reacted so badly should take responsibilty for their actions?
The player has had contstant stick over the last few weeks and during the game. Was anyone surprised he wanted to get his own back when he scored? .
This all seems a massive over-reaction. Maybe you are annoyed to have lost 2 matches already this season? You had a lot of posession and played attractive football but didnt get the breaks and we defended well. However your defending was dodgy.
Wenger is a great manager in my books but Arsenal dont seem to have moved on since Henry, Viera and Petit days?
Perhaps if RVP had’nt tried to scythe down Adebayor he wouldn’t of put himself in sucj a precarious position. He was deliberately trying to hurt Ade but waasn’t quick enough. Instant justice I believe. wipe your eyes gooners and the rags call us bitter.
dont you man city fans realise wot he done to arsenal, he paraded himself about to other teams like barca and milan calling them beyonce and wot ever only stayed cos he got a big fat pay rise cos he thought he was as good as henry (not even close) he didnt work as hard and was no where near as good as henry, the arsenal fans still sung his name but when he started to just walk around the pitch doing fuck all for the team (man utd smei final CL is just 1 instance) he then blamed the fans for getting on his back, he has fucked over all the teams he has played for even his natinonal team. He is a mercernary and a f’in disgrace and will one day fuck man city over, good luck with him he is a cunt.
I don’t have anything against Mercenary City fans at all – a couple of my mates come from the blue half of Manchester. But the c*nts who have come on here and have commented on our fans booing Adebayor and saying we bottled it and giving it ‘the big ‘un’ make me laugh as well as disappointed – you sound just like Chelsea fans when they won the lotto when the Russian came on board. And the tosser who said we ‘pushed a man beyond his limits and we got a just deserts’ – for the stamping of Van P – you sound like the type of person who would defend a child murderer. Open your eyes – you’re just showing yourself to be as classless as Adebayor – but then again you’re probably so far down the food chain – you wouldn’t ‘get it’
why was all goooners baby faced home county softies at lest hammers toottiingham like de piss and a bit of rampage.
biggest fags in london your days are well gone and so bitter good luck trying to wrestle fith off the yids
well thats the sort of mentallity id expect from morons, i expect that u are also one of those wankers who sing songs about the munich air crash you prick, arsenal fans have been told that we will finish outside top 4 for past 5 or so years and its yet to happen we have qualified for the past 12 years, mercenary city are not even in europa league, there is no way mark hughes will be able to pip wenger he does not have the nouse and will not even be at the far eastlands next season, we have much more class and we will always be better than you, yr not even the best in manchester.
There is a saying that i trully beleive, who laughs last laughs the loudest.
arsene wengle tony adams barryfrom eastenders dale winton , all arsnel all very very suspect.
“April 24,April 24
dont get injured before…………. Adeybayooor”
as an ex wife batterer let me tell all afc fans i beat my missus bcoz i had a small cock we boo bayor bcoz wengers a cunt and were not brave enough to admit it.
At the end of the day, he will get a ban(just what we want) and will miss youre big one the ONE that matters so much to you so youre arses will be oilled(LOL) by the FA on monday then they will be fucked by the real team of manchester on sunday…………….thanks ADE
i thought the goal celebration was awesome a bet he was knackered after that highly entertaining sprint towards our allocated singing end which unfortunatly next to the goners fans as for van girls purse, he should be banned for the season with that 2 footed lunge on ady’s legs it was disgusting but as of yet nothing is said bout that, why?
Also the little soft goners fans that were clearly throwing missiles at ady and other players and city fans, and why were you goners so quiet outside you wanted to give it to us inside, but crawled away at the end, why?
The funniest thing about the Citeh fans coming here to defend the indefensible is that they’ll inevitably feel the same way about Adebayor. He isn’t going to have an injection of integrity, or character, or any of those other desirable personality traits over the next few years.
He is what he is – a decent striker when he feels like it, but also a badge-kisser and a liar and a player who will agitate for a move to a more prestigious club as soon as he can, which will be this season if Citeh don’t qualify for the CL.
And for all the gloating of their fans on here, that’s FAR from guaranteed. I’m not sure if we watched the same match but they were second best on their own ground for almost the whole 90 minutes, should have had a Adebayor sent off for violent conduct, and were lucky the ref didn’t spot a handball that would have given us a penalty. Okay, they were clinical on the break once we started to commit players forward and we were dodgy in defence but reversing the score would be a more accurate reflection of the game.
I’m concerned that we’ve now taken no points after dominating the last two matches, but not really with the way we’re playing (well, except Almunia, perhaps). If luck does even out over the course of the season, I’ve little doubt we’ll qualify again for the CL and finish comfortably above Citeh, who will remain the second-best team in Manchester even if they are the best-paid.
well said!
The celebration doesn’t bother me a bit. I expected it from him – no big deal. I can even live with the ankle crunch on Cesc. That shit happens all the time. It’s not right, but it happens. But, the stamping on RvP’s face was a bit much. What a fucking coward.
Hey Mancs… don’t turn your backs, or Ade will stick it up your ass too. You’ll see. Oh, you’ll see.
uh…what the fuck are Citeh fans doing on an Arsenal blog? Don’t you have better things to do? Like, being wretched and clueless discussing your team and your pathetic squad?
I think these City fans don’t realise how unlucky they are to have him in the dressing room,(nor do they realise this is an Arsenal Blog).. because when Santa Cruz, Tevez and robinho are all fit and scoring Adebayor’s laziness will put him on the bench.. plus it is only the beginning of the season and he is facing a ban? we have no time to worrry about Man City we have UCL this week.. Let me hear the city fans next week when his stupid antics got him suspended against ManU…
I hate these teams that have one rich owner who spends all his money on a science project.. oK they have had a good start to the season but they are quickly becoming one of the most hated sides in the league.
As for Adebayor.. who cares i think that is all we’ll see of him this season… he proved his point now it’s time for hime to act like he is the best… I just feel sorry that Kolo has to hang with that wanker.
I think Adebayor has hit his peak, watching him play in city’s previous games and he looks like a man motivated by demons, and it will be his demons that wreck him. I hope the FA ban and fine him to make a statement that a spoilt tosser like adebayor can’t do whatever he likes no matter how much the arab wet nurses at City pay him. Bad performance from us overall but you could see that several players were fatigued from the international break though one relief is that the side didn’t miss Arshavin as badly as I feared we might. A bad defensive performance overall, Clichy, Song and Denilson really need to sort it out defensively and this game might be the motivation for doing so. BTW to the city trolls when the wheels fall off and Robinho fucks off back to La Liga in january come back and flame then when your collection of mercenaries and has beens are all ripping each other up.
Not a Man U fan by any stretch of the imagination but I hope Nemanja Vidic kicks fuck out of Adebayor next weekend
why are we getting upest over the reaction of a great player who left due to bad management who would have won us the game if dein was still here. no silverware and none coming since pat left. an increasingly eccecntric manager who tactics and team selection are a joke. the initial advantage of fitness and strength wenger had when he came to england long gone.henry viera pires 3 greats meant wenger was overrated.do you not think allardyce could play 11 technical young lads and win nothing.wake up or go back to rugby or whatever it was you used to do.
You’re talking bollocks mate
Adebayor had about 2 decent games last season and was a fucking joke considering that he was given an improved contract and that he was plucked from nowhere by Wenger in the first place. He’s a money grabbing cunt and now that his mental tantrum against those who made him a decent player is over he’ll probably sulk again and fuck off abroad next season.
ken this is exactly what cesc will do. but because hes not african we wont think that we own him. plucked from nowhere? did wenger make him 6ft 4 quick as hell and naturally talented?get real,this myth that wenger finds unknown talent is tired old bollocks. the amount of pricks no football knowledge tits that follow us maybe we get what we deserve.
Bought it on yourselves Goons
I don’t think many of us, arsenal fans really liked that cunt..
So it proves my point:
A cunt had found a right team in being surrounded by cunts…
And just wait til that bitch get a call from some other richy rich teams with “history”…reserv the tears…
PS: it’s funny how after one lost a strain of opposing fans had invaded and talked shit in our blogs(as I would never do, a waste of my time even thinking abit reading cunts’ posts)…beating us must feel like a dream come true for a team with no history nor class(as proven by players and fans) with some pounds to spend…good luck playing in Europe this w…oops you’re not in it and never will be…fuck off to the north bitches and cunts
Fuck all of you, northern cunts u know we owned u and you know that, just too scared out of ur bloody pants to say so. Go to bed city fans its about fucking time, u aint got enough class to make the top four pissheads
And once more u think ur fucking big going on a rival blog u fucking peices of shit behind ur shitty computers.
U callin the best stadium in the premier league a shithole look at ur place they must have been about to demolish it when u said ” I know it’s a fucking peice of shit but we play here” Fuck all of u city fans
Adabayor is not top class and I am glad he is playing for someone else. He is also a wanker and shitty fans will soon find that out. Reading some of these bloggs they obviously deserve each other. They had the nicest stadium in the premier league until Ashburton Grove was completed and that must hurt, and ours is in the middle of London not that crap hole Manchester. Nouveaux fucking Riche and no class just like their new signings.
Did anyone here that the owners of ETIHAD are united fans and that ETIHAD actually means UNITED. If its true thats gotta hurt too, splashed across their chests, like they are no nothing cunts.
i am a everton fan and a good friend of the person of the person who writes this website.
to all the city fans on writing on this website you need to have something else to do with your time like wank over your team? or maybe your wanking over your big walleted owner?
who knows…………….all i know is that last year i didnt hear a peep out of you?
adebayor clearly stamped on RVPs face and should face the consequences that he would have faced if the incident was bought up in the game.
ps Thanks to Manchester City FC for the 22 million pounds they gave us for Joleon Lescott.
do you think any of this current team actually like each other? get the impression there are a lot of unhappy selfish personalities which could explain lack of fight under pressure.it is managers job to create a team spirit and togetherness,just think where we would be with capello hiddink even moyes with our revenue/appeal. it is our money wenger wont spend.hes lost it big time.fuck me its depressing.
you’re a fuck up fuck off
then go kill yourself. or see a doctor.
We’ll win fuck all with denilson, song, bendtner and eboue. Any dumb fuck with half a brain must see that.
Instead of moaning about the shit that happened with ex players you should look at the bigger picture and see the problems that are building up ahead. I was pig sick saturday night but we should get used to the feeling, rememnber CL semi at home, FA cup semi at wembley, home to spurs, away to Fulham etc. We are just another premier league team now and our aurora has gone. Some of us havent got wenger tinted glasses on.
Beating Everton (wll) and a shit pompey does not tell the whole story where as losing to city and utd does.
Are all the pundits, commentators, ex-players and the majority of fans wrong? Wenger should go, he has lost the plot
Sold two of our better players to our biggest rival ( for 4th) in the league, madness,
i’m a negative gimp and i’m stoned…
2 players:
1 a lying cunt and 1 exhausted past his prime cb, not to mention who’ve replace him.
And u should be worried about that lying cunt ya know, Wenger made mistakes but he’s not cunt who intended to hurt anyone…
And also the new rule thing, funny how gloomers don’t give shit about it as it’ll devalue thier agenda…
Don’t throw away club’s history on 4 years…
then 5 years ,6,7. how long till the penny drops.when cesc fucks off? whe wenger sells arshavin for arguing with almunia?when theo goes away with england and realises you can have alaugh with your team mates and doesnt come back. then they can all not speak to each other in french.or when its 75 bar to watch mid table shite surrounded by cunts.
Fuck off you citeh pricks
Ade falling out with the arsenal supporters is none of your fucking business – he’s a cunt of the highest order – he was lazy as fuck last season, stirred it up in the dressing room and could’nt wait to get off for more wages. Just because you cunts got a touch with the arab bankrolling your team you think you can come on hear and preach to us. Do me a favor – Citeh are and always will be shit – you won’t win fuck all – enjoy it while you can. I guarantee it will all end in tears.
Hahahahaha
Oh and I guarantee a tonking for your mercenaries at ours in april.
i dont’t know why the fuck you call urself ‘truth’ ’cause its the bloody oppisite of what ur trying to say u prat
Well said mate!
arsenal will do well this season who cares abt this result?
