EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR ripped into Arsenal after copping a three-match ban for his stamp on Robin van Persie.
In a frank interview, the Manchester City hitman roared: "There is only so much abuse a man can take until he reaches breaking point."
Adebayor lifted the lid on his treatment by the Gunners and their fans that led to his outrageous behaviour in Saturday's 4-2 win and insisted:
Arsenal players refused to shake his hand before the game.
He suffered 60 minutes of non-stop abuse from away fans before he turned the tables on them with his goal.
His £25million summer move from Arsenal was completed by Arsene Wenger behind his back.
Adebayor, banned for Sunday's Manchester derby, said: "I could not understand some of the Arsenal players being disrespectful towards me.
"I was being abused by people who six months ago were singing my name. The abuse was for no reason.
"It wasn't my fault I left, it was Arsene who wanted to accept the offer for me.
