A Gunners fan representative wants the striker punished.
The secretary of Arsenal's north-west supporters' club, Terry Milner, has called on the FA to hand a hefty punishment down to the Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor for his actions in Saturday's win over the Gunners.The Togo international looks to have landed himself in hot water for an alleged stamp on Robin van Persie and for his extravagant goal celebration, incidents which the FA have confirmed they will now investigate.
Milner, however, is in no doubt that the striker deserves to be punished and is clearly expecting a hefty penalty.
"I hope they don't put the two incidents together and effectively let him off with one," he told the Manchester Evening News.
"What he did to Van Persie was assault and that alone probably deserves a five-match ban. Then there's the fans incident. I think Gary Neville was charged for something similar against Liverpool a few years back so there's that too."
Milner also insisted he believed the striker’s goal celebrations were pre-meditated and insisted there was no excuse for his behaviour.
"My feelings towards this is that it proves how little class he has about him. It was pre-planned, there was no way that was off the cuff," he added.
"I understand that some fans have booed and jeered him and I saw things being thrown on the pitch, plastic chairs and stuff, which was wrong. But what the hell was he doing?
"He is earning, reportedly, £180,000 a week and he should be able to rise above booing and name calling.
"If you gave me £180,000 a week you could call me anything you wanted.
