Arsenal fans call for Adebayor ban
An Arsenal fans' representative has called on the Football Association to hit Emmanuel Adebayor hard for the two incidents which marred Manchester City's 4-2 win over the Gunners on Saturday.
Adebayor, who enjoyed a fractious relationship with the fans towards the end of his time at the Emirates, sprinted the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the away end following his goal for City and also appeared to stamp on the face of former strike partner Robin van Persie.
FA chief executive Ian Whatmore has vowed to look at each incident closely and Terry Milner, secretary of Arsenal's north-west supporters' club, has called for a hefty punishment.
Milner, who was in the visiting end as Adebayor taunted the fans, told Press Association Sport: "My feelings towards this is that it proves how little class he has about him. It was pre-planned, there was no way that was off the cuff.
"I understand that some fans have booed and jeered him and I saw things been thrown on the pitch, plastic chairs and stuff, which was wrong. But what the hell was he doing?
Reflecting on the possibility of an FA charge, he added: "I hope they don't put the two incidents together and effectively let him off with one. What he did to Van Persie was assault and that along probably deserves a five-match ban. Then there's the fans incident."
