Arsenal: Tony Adams continues to be real life Twitter troll

Real life Arsenal Twitter troll, Tony Adams, who makes it increasingly hard for fans to refer to him as an Arsenal legend, keeps taking shots at his former club. This time, the comments seem more unjust than usual.

Tony Adams has always been a controversial figure. And recently, the former defender has added more reasons for Arsenal fans to despise him.

His agenda for bashing the club that made him is still unknown, although the fact that a well-known radio show keeps tweeting out the comments and adding fire to the fury could be a hint.

I get the whole, “if you don’t want him to be empowered, why mention the comments?” notion, but firstly, every fan needs to see what an absolute numpty he is, and secondly, I need something to write about today and bashing Adams is something that I’ve wanted to do for a while – so here goes!

When speaking to The Sun — which should tell you all you need to know — Adams claimed that he was excited by the appointment of Unai Emery and happy to finally see change at the top level of the club. However, according to the legend, who should know a thing or two about change in tactics, philosophy, etc.,  the City game was another ‘Arsene Wenger performance’.

As a player who knows how difficult it is for a manager to come in and change things around, Adams shouldn’t be making ridiculous comments regarding a managers ability. He was there when Wenger arrived at the club. He was there when his diet had to change. He was there when his game was turned upside down. And he was there when he captained two double-winning teams and became the only man in the history of the game to captain a league-winning team in three different decades.

Comments like “Whether Emery can coach it or not I don’t know yet, it is early days” are hardly useful or even accurate, especially when Emery has been in charge for all of two games (which I touched on yesterday).

As the old saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, and neither is a new era in football. The disrespect shown by one of Arsenal’s most successful, and once loved, players leaves me scratching my head. It also makes me wonder how many times Adam’s has applied for the role of assistant coach and been turned down.

Maybe he should stop throwing his name in the hat and start actually supporting a club at which he became one of the greatest figures in the game.
