If you're sitting down , stand up.
Take 3 paces back, then take a flying fuck at yourself.
They backed Adebayor when AVB walked. They had no reason to pretend he was still injured.
As I said, clubs lie to hide things all the time. I guess they didnt want us to look more pathetic than we already did, by not giving a reason to play a desperately needed striker.
You seem to have gone so far full circle that you are almost at the point where you are about to claim that AVB never sidelined Ade for any other reason than he was injured....?
Are you now implying that there was no issue between the two...? Laughable.
Nah, they're lying.
It's got to be personal.
Hahahahaa.....oh look at "Mr Grey Area" now......
So because they had a reason to lie before, it means they are ALWAYS lying....you know what CJJ...the world isnt all black and white..
:adelol:
Adebayor never seems to come back from any extended break (close season, ACN, etc) without some sort of issue.
I don't buy it at all.
No way a man making over 100k a week doesn't get a lil malaria shot before heading back to Togo.

Reading the official Spurs release I boggle a little. How can Malaria be "a mild bout"? Ok, so it was caught early but excuse my ignorance, isn't that like saying a "slight loss of a limb" or a "minor case of brain damage"?
"Just a flesh wound"
I think there are different types with different levels of severity - a bit like calling a little sniffle 'flu when some types of full on influenza can kill you

I actually think they're pills. But I completely agree.
Isn't malaria really serious? How can you get a minor case of it?
Once you carry the disease it never goes away, he could have first contracted it decades ago.
Lets see how many people believe Ade has malaria, and how many think the club is lying and Ade is playing up........
Could be a real dilemma here for CJJ now..

That's not entirely true. It depends on which strain he has.

If I get malaria, will I have it for the rest of my life?
No, not necessarily. Malaria can be treated. If the right drugs are used, people who have malaria can be cured and all the malaria parasites can be cleared from their body. However, the disease can continue if it is not treated or if it is treated with the wrong drug. Some drugs are not effective because the parasite is resistant to them. Some people with malaria may be treated with the right drug, but at the wrong dose or for too short a period of time.
Two types (species) of parasites, Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale, have liver stages and can remain in the body for years without causing sickness. If not treated, these liver stages may reactivate and cause malaria attacks ("relapses") after months or years without symptoms. People diagnosed with P. vivax or P. ovale are often given a second drug to help prevent these relapses. Another type of malaria, P. malariae, if not treated, has been known to stay in the blood of some people for several decades.
However, in general, if you are correctly treated for malaria, the parasites are eliminated and you are no longer infected with malaria.
Ade could get hit by a bus on live television and some of our fans would still think he was trying to get out of pre season. Beyond a fucking joke the stick he gets.
i don't think anyone thinks that, i think Sammy just doesn't understand sarcasm when someone reiterates his own points.
he's doing a great job of making his own point look daft, mind
Not really. As I said, because I think the club lied to cover AVBs inept management, it doesnt mean they are lying now.
They have no reason to lie...they did before. The world is not black and white CJJ.
And how can you say "i don't think anyone thinks that", when people have just said they dont believe it in this very thread?

I was gonna come in here to post some ridiculous reactions to the official Twitter account on the subject so we could all point and laugh but fuck me it's actually happening in here. I'm struggling to wrap my mind round the idea that a Spurs player could get stick for contracting malaria.
