the big adebayor face

[Anonymous]

They should have painted it on the Old Crapford forecourt while Fergie was asleep!

Is it just me who thinks it doesnt actually look like him

It's fucking awful. Shit art and cringe-inducing.

Not being rude or anything but it seems a bit of a plastic thing like a thing which a team like chelsea do. City should have legends instead of players like adebayor or tevez who are currently playing now nothing to do with my club as adebayor and tevez are your players.

It's called culture. If you don't like it that's fine. But there's nothing cringeworthy about displaying affection for a player using a well regarded artist: <a class="postlink" href="http://pencilsqueezing.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://pencilsqueezing.blogspot.com/</a>

See quote from the club: "the big four games provide an opportunity to celebrate those cult players who relish such occasions and transcend the barriers between culture and football. Creating a stylised campaign, unique for a football club, puts Manchester City at the centre of the cultural fabric of Manchester."

"Culture". It's shit art and that quote from the club is cringe-inducing in itself. Awful PR bollocks and the art is terrible.

I think it's top.

I've long been an admirer of this kind of San Francisco post psychedelic art so it's great seeing CITY incorporating it. I'm loving the new promo coming from the club and long may it continue.

It is a bit scary looking but a class idea. Love it. Who will be the face's for the other top 4 games? No prize's for guessing the derby but im guessing Barry for the scousers & Robbie for chelsea.

All about opinions - all forms of art attract critics and fans

For me it is just refreshing to see our club setting new ideas - this marketing team is highly professional - they might get some things wrong in the future - but they will get a lot right

Walked past the arndale shop before and they are selling t-shirts with the adebayor face thing on.

That picture on the floor is huge!
