Adebayor will almost certainly be banned for three matches for the stamp on Robin van Persie that left the Arsenal striker with a gashed cheekbone and accusing his former team-mate of a "mindless and malicious" assault. City's £25m summer signing will also face sanctions for celebrating his goal by running the length of the pitch to antagonise the away supporters. The stamping offence is expected to be fast-tracked through the disciplinary system, meaning his ban will start with Sunday's derby against Manchester United.

Greater Manchester police blame Emmanuel Adebayor for crowd trouble

I'm afraid he's become such a massive tw*t that he's surpassed Ashley Cole. Of course, he is perfect entitled to be a massive tw*t and taunt the fans that supported him and the club that made him. Tw@tness is not against the laws of football and while I don't think anyone struggles to see why Ade's taunting and his inspired play against the Arsenal would rile up supporters, we still have to keep ourselves in check. I'd have probably been arrested.
Blatantly kicking his former teammate in the face is another matter. Nothing can be done about Ade's tw@tability but where the f*ck was the official? He made no attempt on the ball when cutting down Cesc on an earlier challenge and was not even carded. Arsenal were poor in the first half and they probably did not deserve a good result with such crap marking. Still, the abysmally shite officiating in back to back trips to Manchester have made this season hard to take. Good thing it is only September. Maybe.
