The Adebayor Controversy

There is a lot of noise raised about the Adebayor stamp and goal celebration.And i for one think he deserves a bit of slack.For two primary reasons

a.Adebayor was practically being kicked the entire match and the foul by persie on him before the stamp was pathetic too.It could have broken Ade's legs if he had connected.
b.And the disgusting arsenal fans.They called ManU fans class less for jeering Wenger,but here they were singing nasty things about Adebayor the whole match.What do you expect him to do.Obviously he gave it back to them.
c.He apologized for both events publicly,but the great Persie comes out and trashed Adebayor in public stating that he never had intention to hurt anyone.Dude watch a compilation of your fouls and you would know the truth.
d.The disgusting arsenal fans again - even if ade did provoke them wtf was the needto throw missiles at the stewards.Disgusting behavior.
e.What about the Persie celebration?he swears at the majority of the stadium and generally behaved just as bad and he was not even booed during the match and that does not even attract comment.

While you are at it watch this celebration too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUXKtf1rdaY

All in all give the guy a break or punish Persie/give Arsenal equal punishment.

ManU Nepotism

I am making this post to record all instances where ManU have been let off kindly by the referee.It will be updated throughout the season

1.ManU vs Arsenal
a.The most blantant penalty you will ever see by Fletcher not given.
b.Fletcher commits two fouls inside the box and is not even booked.
c.Same fletcher commits more than a dozen fouls and is not booked.

2.ManU vs Spurs
a.Vidic trip on Lennon just outside the box and the ref gives a corner.The foul
was worth atleast a Yellow and was a great position to score from.
b.Vidic elbowing Crouch.Foul called but player not booked.
c.Fletcher kicking huddlestone on the shin - not booked again.


Now before some readers of the blog start quoting stupid comments from Football365 request them to find some instance where other teams are so blatantly favored.

Having said that i have to concede that the way Rooney,Foster and Fletcher played in the last three matches is stunning.

3.ManU vs ManCity
a.Seven minutes of extra time - nobody knows where that came from.

b.Neville an unused sub celebrates the same way as Ade did a week ago -
result apart from one line in a guardian post i dont even find it being
discussed.
