You were so right about Adebayor they might rest him at least 1 game now, which is good for us haha. That's why he's been one of my favorite strikers to watch the last 5 years or so, when he's in form he's super dangerous. Those long gallops eat up space and his touch is so smooth sometimes even with his height. This is like the 3rd time he's been counted out with a long spell on the bench, and then he gets his chance and just starts playing out of this world. Not sure if you knew that when I got on your case, but cool on that either way haha.

I've watched a few Spurs matches since the announcement of the EL draw and Adebayor has been on fire... His form has been so good hes on the PFA Monthly Award short list... http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/ade-up-for-award-220114/
