Ah the post I look forward to the most every day tanks chinners :). Also that WAG is fugly..

No probs Vhero, I'm here to serve ...

As much as I love Ade, I just wish he'd stop bleating to the press every weekend and just get on with his footie. He makes some valid points of course but imo he should just let his goals and play speak for him from now on.

Thats brilliant Chinners - savaging our best striker publicly on the web - you know he reads this stuff and will now lose form and move to Leeds in January citing fans turning on him as the reason

Politicians eh - and what exactly is the Shadow Minister of Fortean Spinning?

bollox, the honourable poster makes a strong point. Please Ade ignore my posts in future ... most people do

Fortean Spinning is my role as the 'Campbell' in our party but strictly relates to UFO's, spinning tops and funfair roundabouts

I don't think Adebayor was unreasonable in anything he said.
