Wind your neck in. What has he done for it to be "sickening". He plays for spurs so get behind him. Bet no one will moan if be scores a hat trick.
By all means play him? But the kids and supporters expect a captain people can respect and is a symbol of our club

I have thought before that if Lloris is not going to start he should be given the whole night off rather than endure the tedium of having to turn up and go through the whole rigamoroll of match day/night.

I reckon we will score twice at least. I cannot wait to see Harry and Ade together again!!
Dier 100% concentration.

The problem with Ade is just the ifs and buts. A man with his "talent" and his salary should be more professional in is behavior. Why is this not the case? It might be because the man lack the needed desire and hunger I don't know. His form always comes when he has something to prove as far as I am concerned. What I do know for sure, I prefer Soldado over Ade any day of the week, both on and off the field.

Ade is hit or miss, Soldado is just miss. Why would you prefer Soldado on the field? He does NOTHING in the PL (don't give me this work rate bollocks, he works no harder than Ade). I'd like to hear an actual reason as to what Soldado offers that Ade doesn't..

Do you get behind Soldado then, when he plays for Spurs? It is not my impression, but I could be wrong on this?

If Vorm gets sent off in a cup semi final??

I think Poch's decision to make Adebayor captain is his way of telling him to prove himself.
Getting him to back his words up with actions. "You can't say I didn't back you, you've only yourself to blame"

It's a master stroke.

Not particularly an Ade lover TBH, I just dislike the way you use conjecture and hearsay and state it as fact,
Well considering it was backed up by multiple ITK's, a media article and them being absent from the team for a while, I'd say there's probably some truth to it.

There's a long history of giving problem characters responsibility and seeing it transform them.

Trouble is, there's also a long history of the ploy falling flat on its face.

I'm a bit nervous for tonight, but I'll come down on the side of optimism. 3-0. 2 from Captain Ade.

Will Kane play just behind Adebayor? I didn't see the last game but from comments in the match thread some didn't like that set-up

We shall see. On Saturday Kane played very much as a No.10 in the attacking midfielder sense rather than as a second striker, picking the ball up deeper and getting crowded out a lot of the time. At the end of last season when Kane and Adebayor were partnered I thought they did an ok job of mixing up who at times led the line whilst the other dropped deep. I hope they do play as a strike partnership, rather than as a defined 9 + 10, as I think it could give Sheff Utd. more problems with movement etc. and deciding on who picks up who marking-wise.

Kaboul was captain the other week, so Pochettino isnt going back on his choices for Captain and vice Captain's, so not a huge shock with Kaboul and Lloris not starting he has the arm band.

Im not a fan of Ade, but some of the stuff from out fans is just way over the top IMO
