Crazy Arsenal fan burns his Adebayor shirt

Emmanuel Adebayor evokes some interesting emotions wherever he goes. From his goal-scoring exploits for Arsenal to back-to-back interviews where he pledged allegiance to Arsenal before flirting with Barcelona, to his quite obvious Milan fantasy to his bumper contract at Arsenal to a move to Manchester the next summer, Adebayor had already entertained and infuriated Arsenal fans.

But then came last Saturday when, in-between his clashes with Fabregas, Song and RVP, he scored a goal for City and then proceeded to run the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the visiting Arsenal supporters.

There has been plenty of debate on the matter – here and elsewhere. Suffice to say that both the fans (who can dish it out but can’t take it) and Adebayor (whose lack of class while as an Arsenal player and now as a Manchester City player is disappointing) are in the wrong here.

But what’s most interesting is how this Arsenal fan reacted to Adebayor’s antics from Saturday – we’re used to people burning effigies of politicians and what not, but as Andrew demonstrates, burning the shirt of a footballer who has betrayed your club is just as satisfying.

    Whoever has his shirt already burnt away his or her money on one, so might as well set it ablaze. Get some marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate and enjoy yourself.

    F*ck Ade. The away fans never booed our players, they were probably his biggest fans. It was a small section of the Arsenal home fans who booed him. He just hyped the evidence to justify his move.

    He did have a good 08/09 season for us despite his injuries. I was one of his most vehement defenders, and was genuinely sad to see him go. On Saturday, I expected him to score and celebrate the way he did, as Henry did it for us all the time.

    But the stamps on Rvp and Cesc, and foul on Song were what got me. I can’t wait to play City again at the Emirates, and this time it won’t be a small section of the fans who boo him.

    That said, I feel for the steward who was hit with a projectile. Scream and curse all you want at him, but don’t let it evolve into anything physical.
