Pompey 0 Man City 1: Adebayor strikes again to extend millionaires fine run

The sight of Sulaiman Al Fahim sporting his Portsmouth shirt andbaseball cap, grinning and glad-handing fans as his team slumped to afourth successive defeat told the story of the different paths theseclubs are on. This time last year, Al Fahim was fronting the takeover at Manchester City, when the Abu Dhabi United Group swept in and spent £34million to buy Robinho on transfer deadline day. Now the property developer from the United Arab Emirates is ownerand chairman of Portsmouth, having finally seized control of a club whohave sold seven of their best players for £85m in the last 12 months,just in time to take them to the bottom of the Barclays Premier League. Emmanuel Adebayor's header on the half-hour maintained a 100 percent record for both teams. City have won their first three Premiergames without conceding a goal, while Pompey have yet to acquire apoint and, although only one goal separated these two hastily assembledteams, it was clear which one possessed the greatest quality.
