Of course I'm annoyed, but there still is somewhat of an unwritten rule that there is no need to rub salt in the wounds etc, by excessively celebrating. Unless of course you're a team desperate to distract from the fact they've already out the title race before the new year.

So bitter.

Funny Giroud should say this after Shola's comments, though i did say he loves to celebrate and i'd guess he's other half has a baby on the way.

Yeah he did the cradle thing didn't he? It's not that he celebrated it's that it lasted about five minutes each for two fairly meaningless goals. I'm sure if someone did that to you on FIFA you would be raging.

If you don't think there's a difference between FIFA and real life then you have a serious problem.

Nah, you're just butthurt 'cos we hammered you in that last twenty. If you score a goal you have every right to celebrate it, even if the opposition fans don't value you it as much as you do. Giroud has taken a lot of criticism this season and have every right to celebrate scoring a goal in front of his home fans, whilst Theo sealed his hattrick with a superb solo goal - one any striker would be proud of.

Of course Giroud and Walcott have a right to celebrate. It's more just the length and elaborateness of the celebration that was annoying.

No it fucking isn't.

There's a difference between playing a video game with your mate and scoring a real goal in a real football game in front of 60,000 people, clearly. I can't believe we're even debating this. I thought the drawn out debates about offside decisions and Luis Suarez were tedious, but now I'm having to defend a player for celebrating for too long? It's a complete nothing argument.

How can you agree when your sig has Suarez doing a pathetic, time wasting celebration?

Just watching the Villa-Wigan highlights, you can tell your team is playing shit when Emmerson Boyce waltzes through your defence.

Just because it's annoying doesn't mean it's wrong.

Frankly so long as it's in-front of their own fans and it's not an elaborate dance-routine (as with Walcott and Gibbs, which was annoying) they can celebrate how they want.

I'm all for elaborate goal celebrations, just another layer of amusement really.

I'd love to see them allow elaborate celebrations in the NFL again, some of them used to be great.

I'm far too irritated by the fact we made a house of cards look stable to give a fuck how long they celebrated each goal tbh. It does say a lot they waited until they had buried us to do so, mind.

I never said once it's wrong, I just agree that it can be annoying when a team is clearly won the game and you celebrate a meaningless goal. The FIFA comparison was more to show how annoying it is, when someone 3-0 up is running half way round the pitch etc.

I'm not saying they're wrong to celebrate, just thought it was a little sad to celebrate a goal like it's a title winner or something, when it was just another one to the tally.


Plus don't see what the Suarez one has to do with it, that was quite clearly a response to Moyes, and was definitely an important goal too but whatever.

Haha I'm not saying it's wrong or anything, just can be see a bit cuntish at times, but you get some players that will celebrate and some that will just walk back to the half way line or something. Both are fine.

You spout so much shit.

The way some have you have gone you'd have thought Giroud celebrated for 10 minutes. He scored a brace in front of his home fans in a game that was really important to us - how is it 'sad' to celebrate, show some emotion and really enjoy the moment? It doesn't matter that the game was won at 5-3, or 6-3 - complaining about players celebrating, when the celebrations were done without any intention to antagonise the opposition, is pathetic.

I'm depressed by the fact I have to even have to have this discussion - it's such a retarded debate that Shola's started simply because he's a bit pissed off after the game. Fair enough, I get frustrated a say stupid shit when Arsenal lose, but I get the impression you're debating this subject to be awkward. Do you really give shit? Did it annoy you when you watched the game? Did you even watch it? Or are you just arguing for the sake of it?

Only just seen Theo's third aswell, what a goal.

And all I've said is I see where Shola is coming from, it can be a bit cuntish and if you can't see that then that's your own problem. I never said once it's wrong of them to celebrate or anything like that. This discussion is boring anyway, seeing you seem to think I'm complaining about it, when I've explained a good few times that there's nothing actually wrong with it, it's just a bit cuntish thing to do.

Erm what's wrong with what I said? There's nothing wrong with it, but it can be a cuntish thing? It's like the Suarez dive celebration, there's nothing wrong with it but it was cuntish.

Yes, I have nothing better to do than that. Seems you can't say have a discussion on here now a days without people being insulting.

Right, so by that logic it's perfectly fine to be a cunt?

Giroud used his two goals to both celebrate the probable game winner and then the pregnancy of his wife.

Walcott celebrated what was a great goal and also the clincher of his hat trick.

What a pair of cunts.

I didn't actually aim any of it at Arsenal, just excessive celebrating in general.
