Cesc accuses Adebayor
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas feels Emmanuel Adebayor should have been red carded for a challenge on him during the ill-tempered Premier League clash with Manchester City.
Controversy has reigned since City's 4-2 win over the Gunners last weekend.
Adebayor has since been hit with a three-game ban for a stamp on Robin van Persie, whilst he is also facing an improper conduct charge for his celebrations for his goal, which saw him run the full length of the pitch towards the away support.
And further adding to the controversy, Fabregas now claims that his former team-mate should have been red carded for a challenge on him.
"I think this is a red card here. I was lucky my foot was in the air when it happened. You know this is football and it can happen," said the Spanish star.
"All I tried to do when he was at Arsenal was to create opportunities for him to score. So I think I didn't do too bad for him.
"It is a bit strange. It is football and we don't think about him any more. He doesn't play for Arsenal and we just have to concentrate on our game and our play."
Another of his former colleagues to turn on Adebayor, is Emmanuel Eboue - who has welcomed his initial three-match ban.
"He didn't do well because you have a lot of young people who watch the game and they see that and it's no good for football," he said.
"But I am very, very happy because the FA have given him a three-game ban (for the Van Persie stamp).
"I know him and I think he will think about that and he will take it on board and now will try to play his game.
"What he did was no good for football. I am very disappointed about it, very disappointed.
"When he was in our team we did everything together and so we don't know what happened."
Eboue insists former skipper Kolo Toure, who has also joined City, showed the right attitude.
"Kolo came into our dressing room and he said sorry to everyone and that was very, very nice," he continued.
"If Adebayor calls me I will speak with him. But he didn't call me yet.
"I'll wait. If he calls me I will say 'Thank you God'. If he doesn't call me, that's his problem."
