As the Manchester derby heats up for this weekend's clash between Manchester United and Manchester
City, you can clearly see that battle lines have been drawn.
This billboard of recent City signee Carlos Tevez in his new colors has sparked a lot of
controversy on the Trafford side of town.
If by chance your vision was impaired to the point that you would somehow guess that the above
mural depicts Emmanuel Adebayor (and not an even more severely burned Carlos Tevez), then you would
be correct. Amazingly.
Says Man City's official website:
People visiting the Arndale Centre in Manchester today will have been greeted by a huge visual
graphic of our Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor adorning the floors of Halle Square, just outside
the CityStore.

So what did I tell you? It's not easy to be a sports photographer!
Factors like ground survey before the game, the lighting of the venue, etc.
And the likeliness of having players crashed onto you! Like the depicted collage which compiled the
frame-by-frame shot of Balestier's Korean import Oh In Kyun being overpowered by DPMM's Sairol
Sahari and Safari Wahit.
The end of the campaign Remember the Manchester billboard/Photoshop wars? Well, United fans have
had the final say on it (for now, at least) after being presented with the perfect picture to do
so. Winning goalscorer (and billboard star) Little Mickey Owen took a trip past fellow protagonist
Carlos Tevez during his celebrations.
