How on earth can you have a go at Bellamy! I thought he played really well on Sat, in fact he's played well ever since he arrived at the club.
Hughes should have replaced him on the hour though and got Robi on IMO.

Apart from that no complaints.

Ade is God BTW.


I agree he's done well since he joined us but that's been playing down the middle. I don't think he did a lot Sunday. He played that ball in for Micah but that was all about Tevez's pass beforehand, anyone could've made that cross. Apart from that, he was on the pitch for 90 minutes and didn't really create anything or trouble the keeper the whole time.

I don't remember him tracking back and winning the ball either (I remember him trying to run the ball out of defence and losing the ball leading to Utaka shooting inches wide...). Robbie or Petrov would've contributed a lot more IMO. I might be understating his performance or you might be overstating it, but one things for sure - he wasn't exceptional.

Apart from Anelka, Adebayor is rapidly becoming City's 20+ goal a season man for 30 years. Other than Anelka, and i always guess at the time i didn't think Anelka would stick around that long at that time. So is Adebayor City's first top flight 20+ goal man since Brian Kidd?

Speaking of which...

I read he's joining city as a youth coach. Is that true?

I'm sure he's undertaking some managerial role over in Abu Dhabi. Still working for us, but abroad.

Cassells already gone hasn't he - taken some job setting up youth academies like City's around the world. Andy Welsh is head of the academy now

Another great displey from Ade on Sunday IMO. Hard not to be impressed by him so far. Doesn't look 'lazy' as the Arse fans were saying when we signed him. Hopefully he can keep this up until January and put us in a strong position for when he goes to the African cup of Nations.

I know I've asked this before but is it looking like Togo will qualify? They didn't last year...

3 out of 4 qualify from each group, they're second after 3 of 6 games. They should qualify.

46 goals in 105 appearances for Arsenal, can't argue with that.

We don't really need him though.


Still think this is the case? An awesome start for him!

We all love him now! Reckon he can keep it up for the entire season? No reason why not I reckon. 30+ goals on the cards.
