The players should lead by example, if they acted like professionals rather than petulant little children then perhaps the fans would realise how stupid they are. I hate the tribal nature of some so called football fans, if my team loses I'm not happy, but I'm a fan of the sport, so if the game is exciting I will enjoy it win or lose.
My opinion on this situation is that it was a stupid thing to do, the man is clearly not intelligent enough to ignore the comments made about him, and he is stupid enough to lower himself to their level proving them right. After what he did to Van Persie, who had an excellent game and continues to prove just how good he is, I was hoping a few of those missiles thrown at him would hit their target, or one of the "fans" had got onto the pitch and kicked some sense into him. You would think at some point during his run to the other end of the pitch he would think "stop right there you ****ing idiotic egomaniac, some of those fans don't look too happy with you, and if they get onto the pitch the chances are they might do some murdering". Adebayor = **** (begins with a C and rhymes with punt).
