Meh. Been up since 5.
Still don't see what your point is, you should know how highly I rate Lampard. It's not like I was disputing his ability.

Im not too bothered about Adebayor's celebration. Football is in funny times where a lot of people pay their entrance fee and they feel that gives them license to hurl whatever abuse they want at players, so if they give the haters a bit of pay back all well and good. As long as it doesn't incite a bloomin riot.
But the stamp, well typical Siddy really, a real lack of class. He deserves a ban for that as it could have been far more dangerous than what it was.

Did you even see the game? If so you will have seen both the quick and sharp change of direction in Adebayor's foot, and you will have also seen the fair amount of blood that came streaming from RVP's face.
lol at this guy. Is that you Emmanuel?
Caporegime
Agree. There's no doubt he meant to catch RVP. If he had just landed on him with his foot he might've been an argument but the quick direction change of his leg and expression on his face say it all.
Soldato
Adebayor may have just moved his foot to protect himself - you do say it was a quick movement. Wasn't van Persies head also moving at the same time so how can he avoid it, move or not move?
He doesn't have a history of that so it's unfair to say it was deliberate, afterall no-one can really say what was going through his mind at the time.

Dont know what's been said on today's game already but both Scholes and Giggs were majestic today - but wait 35+ year old's are crap aren't they?
Best performance of the season from us today and coming from away from home against the league's form team just adds to the impressiveness

Did you see the game? If you did, I'll just repeat what I said incase you missed it. Adebayor's foot was travelling in a different direction to RVP's head. Ade moved his foot quite sharply to make contact with RVP's face. He didn't even apologise, the mark he left on RVP's face was quite horrific. Unless you're Adebayor himself, or a Man City supporter then I don't know why you're trying in vain to defend the actions of this classless act.
No one doubts their technical ability. It's their ability to perform consistently.
Who needs consistency eh when you can play 12 games a year and still get player of the year and win the league...

LOL at how bad Burnley played at the back. Keeper couldn't hold the ball and the defence couldn't play the offside trap. No idea how they beat United.
Caporegime
Because as usual, they had their one good game of the season against us and the keeper had a blinder
Soldato
Yes I did see it. Unless you are a mindreader you can't know what his intentions are, when you are travelling that fast and bearing in mind he was in the air because van Persie had just went through him, you move your feet to find your bearings, you often don't know where they are going to land or what is in front of you.
Knowing Arsenals reputation, whats to say van Persie didn't move his head into the path of Adebayors foot in the hope of getting him sent off.

If you paid attention to it then RVP's head didn't move upwards and Adebayor had his feet flat on the floor and was running past when the boot went to RVP's face. And what do you mean, "Knowing Arsenal's reputation"?
Scholes also got himself sent off and jeopardised the 3 points
It was never in jeopardy ¬_¬

Over half an hour to go, only 1 goal lead. Spurs had several chances in that time. Luckily a moment of brilliance from Fletcher and Rooney gave us a cushion.
Caporegime
Out of interest did Van Persie get a yellow for the foul?
Luck had nothing to do with it.
We had more chances than spurs did in the last 30, plus it was a harsh second yellow, Scholes pulled out of the challenge. Huddlestone the fat **** rolled around on the floor holding his face.
Hence the ¬_¬
Although we did have more chances than spurs in those remaining 30 mins.
