Never mind Jo, what does "imprimatur" mean ? has this word ever been used on a football forum ?

I had to look it up & it means 'approval' etc.

Nice to have ones vocabulary improved by reading a football forum. I probably won't remember it by this evening though.

I've stayed out of Adebayor arguments as I mostly disagree with the vultures but this is just too much.

Adebayor is goal getter. Sometimes they go through barren spells and it seems like they contribute fuck all but these players know where the onion bag is when chance comes their way and that's why they are valuable. He is not world class striker but definitely very very good Premiership class.

Jo on the other hand is bag of wank. He actually does have the talent, I know this seeing him in Russia, but has lost all confidence and makes fucking Samaras look like Duncan Ferguson.

Fucking ridiculous comparison. Get a grip.

I agree completely with this. Adebuyor (could everyone please call our star striker by his real name and leave the rags insult our club if you don't mind?) is in that top bracket of strikers in the best league in the world. He has a one in two strike rate in the premier league and anyone who calls him a "bad buy" needs their fucking head checked.

He has had a slightly barren run - don't forget a certain goal that essentially changed the game against Chelsea - but it has to be noted that following a poor game by him, he has missed the next game through injury which tells me he may not have been 100% for the last while.

Hopefully he'll come back stronger and get back on the goal trail soon. I have every confidence he will.

I think Adebayor's been alright, as good as most srikers. They all miss chances & have ineffective days here & there. Having said that though RSC was a level above Ade's typical performance when he played v Sunderland. If the fucker can actually stay fit for a few games then Ade may find it tough to get back in after the African trip. Good problem to have.

Jo on the other hand is a twat. I know he's got talent but that just makes it worse to watch him ponce around. Everything about him winds me up, especially that little clappy thing he does after someone gives him a good pass & he chucks himself on the floor or trips over his own fucking feet. Horrible waste of time & money.
