Oh, I see. But on the night it is an accurate statement.

You still really rate him (Adebayor) though don't you?

To be fair, I couldn't care less about Bayor after the way he fucked Arsenal about. I'm just saying at a club where he is loved and motivated - he can be one of the top 5 strikers in the world. I doubt it will be at Madrid because of Higuain. I always thought Liverpool may have been a good move for him

Milan can win in London

They can but wont. I can't remember too many teams losing 1-0 at home then going through. The way Milan set up plays right into Spurs' hands; there's far too much space in the middle of the park and when Spurs have possession they can just ping the ball out wide and the Milan fullbacks have no chance.

Man United didn't even played OM

Man United are already through. They aren't going to be knocked out by some French team that hasn't reached this stage in about 15 years.

and Arsenal are not in a strong position (1-0 is enough for Barca

Any win in the first leg puts you in a strong position IMO. The onus is on the losing side to find a goal and when Barca push forward Arsenal can nick a goal on the counter which would make it very difficult. I agree this is still too close to call because if Barca turn up and have one of their better days they could easily destroy Arsenal. They're getting a bit complacent lately though and need to step it up a bit.

This is exactly the type of game we need him for, he's a match winner who can come up with goals out of nowhere. We don't have any other player like him at the moment, so I'll take a match winner like him even if our collective game may suffer somewhat.

Anyway, I'm off to the bar. Got my Canales shirt on even though he isn't likely to play
