Darren Fletcher - Michael Owen Post Match Interview
Filed under: Interviews, Manchester City, Manchester United
The money’s been spent and a big time player has crossed the line…. And now with the managers (one of which is the former player in Mark Hughers when he was with United) throwing barbs back and forth over money spent during the summer, the new Manchester Rivalry is ready for primetime.
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has confirmed the club will appeal Emmanuel Adebayor’s FA charge of improper conduct. (more…)
The Violent Conduct charge that pretty much everyone felt was coming was finally handed down and Manchester City forward Emmanuel Adebayor has accepted his three match ban punishment without incident, with the Togo International miss the Manchester Derby at the weekend.
From the celebration in front of the traveling Arsenal supporters, to the RVP “Stomp”, to the English FA “Taking a good Look” at what transpired, to the Greater Manchester Police placing the crowd trouble on the player’s celebration, Emmanuel Adebayor’s availability for the Manchester Derby against Manchester United on Sunday isn’t looking so good.
Not good news at all for Manchester City after club record signing Robinho was officially ruled out for a minimum of four weeks after suffering a stress fracture while away with Brazil.
Emmanuel Adebayor ran the length of the pitch to taunt the away support after scoring City’s third goal and had earlier appeared to kick his old team-mate Robin van Persie in the face.
