I won’t let mindless insults affect me – Adebayor

Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor insists he won’t be affected by the abusive chants from Arsenal fans during Sunday’s north London derby. Adebayor has had to endure plenty of taunts from Arsenal supporters since he left the Gunners to join Manchester City in 2009, but the abuse reached a new low with songs about the gun attack on Togo’s team bus during the 2010 African Nations Cup in Angola.

The 27-year-old survived the terrorist attack but three members of the Togo party were killed, including Adebayor’s friend Stanislas Ocloo, who was the team’s media officer.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger have condemned the chants, but Adebayor is adamant they had no impact on him during Spurs’ 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane.
He told The Sun: “The songs that they sung about me were very bad, but was I surprised? No. Disappointed? Yes.
