Pretty sure GMR said he had Moomba.

And agree with your earlier post.....don't think we have really gelled as yet. But it is a great start nonetheless.

I haven't seen the match yet cause i had to work, i'll watch it when it's uploaded somewhere. But how the hell can a player celebrating a goal get booked?

"Ungentlemanly conduct". That's what players get booked under when they take off their shirt after scoring.
 
At the moment, I thought Ade's celebration was mint, but it was pretty foolish in retrospect. All the Arse fans were chucking stuff onto the pitch. Hope he doesn't get suspended for that.

Oh yeah... So that means they WILL look into it with all the hype. If guilty he will get banned, will it kick in BEFORE or after the derby?!

knowing the fa it will probobly (hopefully) take action in a few years, when weve got fernando torres on the bench, :)
 
Don't think there should be repercussions for celebrating, whoever it is. All fans need accept that this is part of football's drama; "Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by" Adebayor.

Cannot understand why there isn't a shared responsibility at times like this. Yes, Adebayor wound them up but they responded. They didn't have to.
 
Loved Ade's celebration! Football is all about passion and theatre, take this kind of thing out of the game and it will be very dull. Fans should be prepared to take some stick aswell as dish it out. Rooney pisses me off when he celebrates in front of us but I wouldn't want to stop him from doing it. They've gone too far as it is with booking players for just taking their fookin shirts off (I've never understood that)

Really enjoyed the game, Arsenal are a classy team but we played them at their own game breaking on the counter attack. The great thing about us is that we clearly haven't even gelled that much yet, nor are we playing brilliant, but we are winning! I'd love it, love it if we beat the scum next week! :)

The referee booked him for his celebration so, if the FA are to show any consistency, they can't do anything as the ref saw the whole incident and chose his punishment at the time.

The kick/stamp on Van Persie is a different matter, Adebayor got away with that so if there's conclusive evidence that he did kick Van Persie then that will be a 3 game ban. We'll wait and see.

On a different note entirely, Craig Bellamy was simply immense today.
 
Just got back now, getting changed quick before go out for a few more!

Awesome game, Bellamy was just incredible, Richards looked something like the player we know he can be, and De Jong was effective. Not comfortable with us sitting back and were too deep for first 20 mins of second half but the in the end quality of our attacking play won it, although could have been 4-4 in all honesty by the end. If we were not the incredible team that we are, that is ;)

Fully expect UEFA to give Ade a ban as they seem to want to decide who are winners and losers on everything this season - didn't see the supposed red card challenge of his that Collymore was whinging about on talkshite, there was a challenge that Ade made where the player stayed down but looked clumsy rather than malicious, but they hardly need a reason to hate us right now I guess. Regarding the celebration, warning on future behaviour would be fine, even away supporter said that on radio, but we all know what they are like.
 
Micah Richards was brilliant in this match and back to his best. One goal, one assist from a right back is exceptional work! Adebayor just can't miss can he? 4 goals, 4 premiership games.

Special mention for Nigel De Jong who I thought had a brilliant game and broke up play well. Bellamy played great but looked tired @ times but then looked like he could go another 90 towards the end of the game.

I've now been left with hardly any voice, my hands still stinging through applause and enjoying a can of fosters! Love it!

4 goals scored against Arsenal and this is without Robinho and Tevez. What a fucking team we are!

This is pretty much spot on as I understand the rules.

Regarding the celebration the ref decided it was a yelow card offence, this should be the end of it.

As far as he 'stamp' goes it depends on the refs report, if he states that he saw the incident and believed there was nothing in it then that should be the end of the matter. The problems wil arise if the ref states he did not see the incident and if he had of witnessed it he would have taken action, this is when the FA will get involved and take retrospective action!

Great match. I loved Adebayor's game, he was the man of the match today. Concerning the yellow for the celebration, I am a little bit upset on the retarded referee but I'll let it slide away cause we won big time. About the Van incident, it was an accident, the big guy tried to regain his footing. End of story.



Richards, Bellamy, very good match today too.

P.S. I liked "Snatch" quote from one of the previous posts ;)
 
those pictures are brilliant

the place was rockin in 110 today, amazing! eeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasy, eeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasy!

they looked shit hot at times, when it went to 1-1 i feared for the worst, to go 3-1 up so quickly was unbelievable, amazing when we scored, psycho celebrations!!

Fantastic City well done. Lescott and Toure looked brill, De Jong was terrific. Bellers too was gr8. Well done Hughes to for changing when we were really under cosh. Ireland was poor though.
