Adebayor just did an Henry !

All the Arsenal fans are slagging off Adebayor but Henry did the exact same thing to Spurs fans (right down to the pose) back in 2002 at Highbury. Scored, then ran 100+ yards to celebrate in the away corner

Well remembered.

Did he get any disciplinary action against him?

And didn't the Spurs fans complain when that happened?

Is the argument here supposed to be that Adebayor isnt a c**t because Henry did something similar?

Don't think there is an argument here unless the Arsenal fans want to pick one.

OK, how about - Adebayor is twice the mercenary Henry is. Discuss.

Plus Henry did it to a bitter rival whilst Ade did it to a club that took him when he was raw and developed him into the player he's today. Despite thinking he was treated badly in the end, he should realise that he still owes a lot to the club.

Even Anelka who isn't popular among Arsenal fans had the class not to celebrate when he scored that stunner at the Groove last season.

I doubt Henry even had any media critism about it let alone an FA investigation...

i can understand why Ade did it, because he was getting abused and it was his old club. Why did henry do it, did he get abuse aswell ?

you didn't find him in the gutter begging for scraps, he had already been a sucess at Metz and Monaco and had proved himself in the Champions League.

As far as feeling like he owes the vclub something, what nonsence, he has every right to believe he would have been just as sucessful without Arsenal, just as almost 100% of professional footballers are. Arsenal fans have no right to such indignance after the way they treated him for 90 minutes, or his Arsenal career. He didn't threaten any of them, he didn't rape them in a London hotel or throw coins or spit or anything like that. He scored a goal and celebrated near them. Dry your eyes and stop acting like such a bitch.

Well said Glenn. Good show.

Henry did it to fans who hate him...Adebayor did it to fans who hate him.

As for oweing Arsenal...you bought him for how much? and sold him for how much?

Any Arsenal fans will do the same if they were Adebayor.

No we wouldn't.

Theres a fair few players that have done exactly this is there not? I'm pretty sure Gascoigne did it, and one of the Neville bros as well.

However, I'm well aware of the unwritten F.A rules that say England players and foreigners with massive sponsorship potential are immune to F.A disciplinary action.

Gary Neville did a similar thing against Liverpool.

As I remember, nothing happened to him.


Notably, Gary Neville is white, plays for England and isn't an obvious target for tabloid criticism.

Also notably, Arsenal fans whinged endlessly about prejudice when Eduardo got banned, yet employ the same prejudice now complaining about Adebayor. But then, we already knew the Arsenal fans are incapable of looking at the world without double standards.

Gary Neville got a fine.

I stand corrected.

Still, I'd put my cock on Adebayor getting a heavier punishment, and the incident with Van Persie will continue to be described as a stamp when it would be more accurate to call it retaliation.
