Adebayor: Arsenal fans know Man City overtaking them
Emmanuel Adebayor says the furious reaction from Arsenal fans last Saturday was because deep down they know Manchester City have overtaken the club.
He told The Sun: "I know a steward got hurt and I really do want to say sorry for that because he didn't ask for any of this - he was just a man doing his job.
"Emotions were running high for me and it is obvious they were for Arsenal fans as well.
"They had just seen me score the goal that meant they had lost the game and that was very hard for them to take.
"The steward was just doing his job but if things hadn't been thrown and people had stayed in their seats then that wouldn't have happened.
"Players should feel like they can celebrate a goal without the fear of being hit by things.
"I think, in terms of class on the pitch, we have overtaken Arsenal and that was a reason for some of the hostility."

Its fine to think as you wish Ade. That is a right everyone living in this
country enjoys even one like you. I seem to remember that Man City
beat Arsenal with a bigger margin last year 3-0 and still ended the
season 20 points behind. Its early days, dont get carried away
you may hurt yourself in the process. There is small matter of ACN
in Angola and you might catch ebola out there or something as nasty.
As of play, fair play to Citeh they did us and congrats to them but
this is a marathon. Ade however, will pay for his sins. Believe it
or not. No one does such to Arsenal and get away with it. Its a
matter of time.
adebayor is really a betrayer..... i am reallyx3 sure that arsenal will finish top 4 ahead of city... you wait until the end of the season, city!!!!!! dont ever think that u will finish even top 10!!!!
I now know for sure that his greedy idiot is the crassest knave to ever don a gunner shirt. Watch him go down from here.
