EXCLUSIVE: Adebayor obsessed with Arsenal
Dateline Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 Tacoma, Washington. I just spent the last 20 minutes watching various Emmanuel Adebayor goal celebrations on YouTube with Boots Randolph’s’ Yakety Saks playing in the background.
Seriously, try it; fire up this song, then open this dance compilation but mute the sound. SEE! Now, if someone has video editing capability, I would appreciate it a ton if you could mash this up. Sadly, I don’t, maybe I should email Arsenalist and see if he can do it.
Email sent, now, where was I?
Oh yeah, Adebayor… It’s funny but every time he opens his mouth he sounds more and more like a stalker ex-boyfriend. You know, the guy who is so obsessed with his ex-girlfriend Arsenal he has like a whole secret room with nothing but photos of the two of them together pinned to the wall with hearts drawn around them, in pigs blood. That guy who throws rocks at his ex’s window hoping that she’ll come out like Rapunzel and let down her hair and take him back?
All he can talk about is Arsenal, Arsenal fans this, Arsenal fans that, Arsene Wenger didn’t like me, blah blah blah. Dude, seriously, you have a new girlfriend now and she’s super rich, why don’t you talk about her? I suspect that she’s not going to take too kindly to you constantly talking about your ex, especially since the last time you scored was a grudge fuck, where you ran 100 yards, and loudly screamed your ex’s name.
Get over it, we all have.
I’m 100 placenta sure this isn’t going to work
Are you still listening to the Yakety Sax? Good, because Robin van Persie is going to get placenta massage to cure his ankle knock. Weird, but hey, if it gets him back on the pitch on time I don’t care if he uses a faith healer, witch doctor, or any other form of nonsense.
I wonder if the Obama health plan covers placenta massage?
ZOMG did you know that Cesc is from Spain?
The shit stirrers have stirred the shit, as they do pretty much every week, and once again are linking Fabregas to Real Barcelona Madrid. I only linked to that story because it’s the Star and there’s some boobs in there, and I don’t just mean the writers.
I do like the new angle of these Cesc to Barca/Madrid stories, that it’s a tug of war between Nike and Adidas. That’s funny, to me.
Diaby poppy shirt sells for £800 more than I thought it would
The other day Arsenal held a silent auction for a signed poppy embroidered Abou Diaby shirt and, evidently, he got £820. Got $1,000 burning a hole in your pocket and want to help out the Royal British Legion? Well, you could still get Almunia’s shirt for the bargain basement price of just £382.
That’s it for today, see you tomorrow.
Comments
I definitely agree and I’ll even suggest that Man City are just a rebound club he is using to make us feel envious. Not that it is working mind you. Sooner or later his rebound girlfriend’s going to find out for good and boy is that gonna hurt City!
It’s really simple. The warning signs were there when Ade headbutted Bendtner in Spurs biggest night in the last 20 years. At the time us simple fans thought it was something than Bendtner deserved and given Ade’s form that season we were willing to overlook it, however again when thru on goal against Birmingham away needing only to square to Bendtner he decided to shoot. Had he passed Bendtner was clear to score, again we exucsed it as fall out from their previous spat however had he passed we would of 3-1 up and won the game instead of drawing it and who knows what might of become of that season?
His really revealed his true nature that summer when talking about a move to Milan, wanting the same wages as Henry and generally making an ass of himself. Having got his wages doubled he then proceeded to play with half the effort of the season before, naturally the fans turn on him and it is clear that it is Ade who is probably upsetting team spirit more than any other player in the squad. Yes he was pushed out of Arsenal, but it’s pretty obvious that Wenger felt he had no choice but to ship him out especially if you have a mug like Mark Hughes willing to spend 25 mill on a bad egg like him. Clearly if he is motivated Adebayor is a great player and real handful, however he has baggage. He may yet sort his attitude and be a great player but it is obvious that Wenger and Arsenal had no option but to get rid of him.
@Goonerism, Terrific overview and time line!
Locker room, media, and on the pitch headache!
Dunno if it is weirder, but I used to have a
frequent tightness in a muscle. I asked a coworker (old man, former pro player) what could I do. He prescribed massage with rattlesnake’s fat, that a nearby korean store provided. As weird as it sounded, I tried it (1U$, what the hell). After 3 days tightness went away and never came back.
So, nevermind how funny it sounds, dont underestimate exotic treatments, LOL.
@Yan, If anyone wants to give it a try, just ask, LOL.
Tim, no offense, but you are an idiot. I love the blog and all, but how opinionated you are about the treatment is just stupid, mate, sorry. It will work. Perhaps you are scared of what you don’t know?
@haho, it’s a joke. Lighten up, Francis!
@Tim,
great reference
The thing about Ade is that, ostensibly, he’s a strong “runner” (as proven by his goal celebration, for example) but he has no idea when, where or even how to run (he looks like he’s leaving his head behind him…). As such having him in the team essentially makes the pitch smaller and smaller (as defenses push up putting Ade into his favored offside position). By contrast, having a “lazy” player like Arshavin “standing intelligently” and directing traffic makes the pitch bigger and allows far more good spaces for his teammates to exploit.
With RVP out, now would be the time to really miss Ade, but I don’t think we will and I hope Andre the Giant will step up and lead our offense in a way that might be pretty satisfying….
And as for the Ade ego….from Soccernet:
Adebayor bonus To-go
Emmanuel Adebayor, not content with being Manchester City’s go-to-ego, swaggered into Togo’s dressing room at the weekend and instantly promised to match the team’s win bonus with one of his own if the country beat Gabon.
I wonder how the lads felt. Patronised? Belittled? Honoured? Jealous? Whatever their feelings, they were multiplied by ten when Togo won a penalty and the self-confessed bonus donator stepped to slot the spot kick. ‘Will he shank it just to save a few bob?’ they legitimately wondered.
They needn’t have feared, for Emmanuel despatched his pen calmly, after realising that his weekly wage could happily support Togo’s entire economy for a week. No World Cup place for Emmanuel, though Togo are heading to the African Nations Cup. I wonder if Mark Hughes offered him double to blaze wide any chances that came his way during the qualifying campaign and thus ensure he’s around for the month of January…
Adebayor is a d!ckhead. Always has, always will.
He was hated at Monaco by the players, fans and staff where he constantly thought he was bigger and better than everyone and invariably told everyone.
He was chucked out of the Togo squad because he attempted to undermine the manager, he thought he knew more than the manager.
He was hated by arsenal fans, players and staff because he thought he was bigger and better than everyone (including Henry). He was subsequently chucked out on his a$$.
How long till Man City chuck him out for a) obsessing over Arsenal; b) Deciding to not run ever again for Man City; c) Flirting with any club that he perceives bigger than Man City (that’s alot of clubs!!) or he just does the old media transfer request (U know where he does media interview after media interview where he compares other clubs to women he’s wanked off to on the internet) once Man City fail to qualify for the CL and Robinho leaves, Tevez retires, bellamy gets put in jail finally, S Ireland joins a team where his ability is actually appreciated.
Thankfully, we got a £20m profit out of the lazy scum bag.
if you need further proof of mr egomanic’s delusion, look at this video:
notice how one player does all the work for the goal and is given credit by the team and another player does all the celebration on his own in front of the crowd.
HA! I never noticed that before. I like how he celebrates and then looks over to see everyone mobbing Theo and tells the crowd to applaud Theo, but only after he celebrates profusely.
Ade-Bye-Whore….Biggest loser in the world. I hope someone break his leg and spine for good.
Mate, millions died in WW1 that USA helped to finance. In every village, town & city in this country there are memorials to the people that died in mud in France and Belgium.
I don’t like war, but I feel for the ordinary blokes who were forced to die for that shit.
So don’t disrespect them.
Peace.
@Joe, OMG…
I really had to think hard about what the hell you’re on about. See, on the 11th I wrote a post honoring all veterans service and calling for an end to war from which I received no end of shit.

And so, I thought maybe you were talking about that.
But it looks like you mean my joke about Diaby and Almunia… I don’t expect too many people will buy Diaby or Almunia shirts, irregardless if they have a poppy on them.
Get it?
If I have to explain…
Adebayor: Don’t you want me baby
Arsenal fans: No
City fans: No
Fastforward
I’ve always wondered whether players should first acknowledge the crowd or the assist dude. As that goal was a a tap in, Walcott shouldn’t have got a belated acknowldgement from Ade. We saw the other day how Cesc rightly gave credit to RVP when he scored against Wolves.
i was watching the holland/italy game live on saturday and as soon as rvp went down it was like a dagger to my heart. you could see how much pain the guy was in and i was really scared that we were gonna lose him for the entire season. by that token, six weeks doesn’t seem so bad although i dont think we will be able to employ the 4-3-3 effectively anymore without him leading the line. dudu will step in but i see us switching back to a 4-2-2 with arshavin supporting him as dudu is not the type of player who usually holds up the ball. it will be very tricky without rvp because he creates so much and scores great goals.. but im hopeful others can step up.
as for ade.. he’s disgraceful, egotistical drama queen and i hope he fades away giving him ample time to think about what he could have had with the arsenal if only he had the grace to repay the faith wenger had showed in him.
So Gibbs was taken off hurt. I guess it’s time for Traore to step up.
@TxGun, Yeah, the dot com is not giving any details until probably after 3/4 of our French contingent pulls up lame.
OH NO!
Kieran Gibbs injured after 21 minutes in U21 against Lithuania. No indication yet as to type of injury.
What is the chance of having nearly everyone fit after Christmas? Except Johan of course! Maybe rubbing on rattler fat before a match may be the answer. Warning: ‘Extracting rattler fat is a skilled and dangerous operation, and should not be attempted at home, or without prior tuition’
Are we short of strikers? Yes! Are we short of goal-scorers? No!
But wait no one has mentioned Sanchez Watt; or Jay Simpson currently on duty at QPR (Did I hear ‘inexperienced?’ Jay has played nearly 70 league games with Millwall, West Brom. and QPR).
As for DMF, Lansbury has been looking good at Watford, and may be ready to step up in the New Year. Although it may not be his natural position, he is well built, bullies the opposition off the ball and seems to hold it well when he’s got it.
Viva!
Can we now officially quit calling RVP’s right his “chocolate foot/leg” and start calling it his “Placenta or Afterbirth foot”
His laziness has surfaced in the Burnley draw. He was utterly usseless on the pitch. There was one cross in the box where he could have headed it on goal with the defender giving away 4″ in height and he was just there pretending to exert an effort. He is off our hands now and it is just a matter of time before he is shipped somewhere else…like the bench
There is no two ways about it. That cu*t is solely engrossed with his former employers. We need to teach him a hard lesson this time around.

@Indy Gooner, NO! Gibbsy. stupid useless U21 international as well. What the fuck, why is it always our players.
