PHOTO: FANS REACT AS ADEBAYOR&ASSOU EKOTTO MOCK TOTTENHAM AFTER DEFEAT

Following their loss to Liverpool ( 5- 0) at the White Hart Lane yesterday, Tottenham fans are more enraged at the moment and No it has nothing to do with their Manager, Andre Villas-Boas' exit infact that seems to be the best news since they've received since the new season began. Their anger is caused by Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Emmanuel Adebayor and want them booted out as well.

The two footballers made what seemed like a mockery of the team when they posted a picture of themselves smiling and posing, making up the number five with their fingers after they were defeated by Liverpool.

While BAE is on loan at QPR, Adebayor on the other hand played once this season. Meanwhile, Adebayor might step in as Spurs Manager.

See some reactions from fans.

(1) @tehTrunk: Hey @spursofficial can you get rid of @AssouEkotto and @E_Adebayor while you're at it please?

(2) @LoveTheShirt: If Levy could boot Adebayor and BAE along with AVB it would help matters.

(3) @MrAlexDrummond: First order of business as the new gaffer – publicly stone Adebayor and BAE – Thats how you get the fans onside. #COYS

(4) @MetalPoisoning: @talkSPORTDrive Adebayor, Ekotto always do those hand gestures in pics. Nothing to do with 5-0 at all. What a stupid thing to say @mickquinn

(5) @rolodinio: @AssouEkotto @E_Adebayor sour grapes aye lads… Oh well… At least you've got championship football to look forward too

(6) @MikeDay37: @AssouEkotto @E_Adebayor I hope and pray that you both never play for the club again disgraceful attitude after losing

(7) @SirAlex_K: AND you just know that plonker Adebayor will start on Wednesday now and probably score a hatrick to rub it in even more!

(8) @MattHoward123: Whoever takes over needs to sell Assou-Ekotto to QPR and physically drive Adebayor to any club that wants him. http://pic.twitter.com/Flwy3jPira

(9) @Glavlar: For those who haven't seen 'that' picture. Classless idiots. Adebayor & Benny pose for picture after yesterdays game. http://t.co/9gqOFhqFxL

PHOTOS: CRISTIANO RONALDO UNVEILS MUSEUM

Cristiano Ronaldo has been snaking into my headlines of late.lol. The Portuguese yesterday December 15, 2013 unveiled a museum in his honour at his hometown Funchal, Portugal. Remember he unveiled his social network, Viva Ronaldo on saturday.

The well-appointed museum which is still being tagged a work in progress was primarily opened to showcase his achievements in soccer; so you find pictures of the ex Manchester United star, trophies, medals, footballs etc. A life-size waxwork of the Real Madrid player was also unveiled.

“It’s a real honour to open the CR7 Museum in my hometown Funchal. I’m very happy and excited”. The 28 year-old footballer wrote on his official twitter page.

GAME OVER FOR TOTTENHAM BOSS, ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS.

Who didn't see it coming? Everyone did, even the 38 year-old Portuguese saw the handwriting on the wall. In the wake of Tottenham's excruciating loss to liverpool some 24 hours ago, Ex Chelsea coach, Andre Villa-boas have been shown the exit door by powers that be in the White Lane. The loss was the worst for Tottenham in 16 years.

A statement from the club reads thus,

"The club can announce that agreement has been reached with head coach Andre Villas- Boas for the termination of his services. The decision was by mutual

consent and in the interests of all parties. "We wish Andre well for the future, We shall make a further announcement in due course."

Just few hours ago, AVB told whoever cared to listen or labelled him a failure he would not "resign" as he was not

a "quitter". And then came the last straw, he was summoned by Tottenham Chairman, Daniel levy yesterday. The result…..
