Seems like he was right City fans do sing it even this season with him being a City player and don't see it as being racism shocking, why would you sing racist songs at your own player? http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A56678674

Anyone care to give me a link or PM me the lyrics (as to protect RL Fans family image ) so I can pass comment?

It's a different song. The song that City fans have been chanting is about the size of Adebayor's manhood. It's a terrible song that uses a stereotype, a racist one at that. However, it's a bit different to stating that his mother is a prostitute and his father washes elephants. I don't bother with 606 as it is full of WUMs

Is this going to become the Man City fans version of the United fans making "aeroplane gestures" issue?

On another forum I sometimes use, which is mostly populated by Arsenal fans, there was a big thing made of Man City and Tottenham fans singing that song about Adebayor at the Emirates this season, a couple of weeks ago in the Football365 inbox an Arsenal fan claimed Man City and Tottenham fans were the only ones who sang it at the Emirates last season, then again they could all be lying.

It should be changed to...

"Adebayor, Adebayoo-oo-oor, has a small to average one, and his missus is a bit disappointed to be honest but she doesn't say anything as there's always the Rampant Rabbit while he's at the footy".

... but it doesn't fit the tune as well.

Funnily enough, people I know who actually go to Arsenal, rather than internet warrior hiding behind a pseudonym, state that it was not sang. I went to the previous game at the Emirates, and it was not sang then. I also know others who went to The Emirates last season and they said they did not hear it. Neither was it picked up by the TV. It also wasn't sung at Eastlands.

City fans have chanted some terrible stuff, including those stupid chants about Tevez being a "Munich". However, this accustaion is not backed up by own experience and other City fans I know.

'My mate, an Arsenal fan, said that United supporters sang about Hillsborough for 90mins last season". Easy innit?

What song are we talking about here? The elephant one? I know that United fans will sing that on Sunday as it has been aired everytime Adebayor has been to Old Trafford over the past few years.
