    Adebayor and Bendtner didn't have a training ground bust up HIAG, they did it on the pitch! <laugh>
    The Togolese forward was subbed on during our 5-1 semi-final win against the Goons, with the score at 4-0.
    He voiced his displeasure to the Dane for his introduction, saying that he was only on, "because you're so ****"!
    They then went on to have a little bit of a physical altercation.

    It was all created because of Wenger's failure to enforce the rules equally for everyone, according to Adebayor:

    The legal definition is three people - so if two people are rioting, it's not a riot no matter how much effort they put in...

    I actually have rated Bendtner higher than most at our club. He thinks too much of himself, but he isn't bad.

    He came up at a time when Walcott was all the hype, but he outperformed him in Carling Cup and started getting subbed on regularly. He is a very nice impact sub with his work rate, and isn't too bad a finisher and has scored some key goals as a sub.


    If Wenger had the same patience with him as with Walcott the matters could be different. His major flaw is his first touch which is ALWAYS too heavy, no matter the power of the incoming ball. He always has to make up for his bad first touch.

    (disclaimer: I do want to get rid of him as a wage leach though :D)

    Only if we're desperate to help Arsenal with its wage bill. I have a lot of trouble believing Spurs won't end up with at least one top level striker by the time the window closes. It's not that it's not possible, it's just that it makes no sense and we aren't likely to know what the truth is at this point. Why would Levy put his head on the chopping block by not having a striker at the level of the rest of the team? The fact he's spent money in other areas not in desperate need indicates he has enough and then some to get the right striker, but that progress has stalled for the moment.
