What goes around comes around.

Why should the Arsenal fans get so uptight about the celebration they have seen it all before.

the second goal in the poll is the length of the pitch effort against Tottenham in 2002. You all remember it right? The ball breaks to Henry just outside his own penalty area, a touch on his thigh to bring the ball down and he's off. He runs unchallenged over the halfway line, Spurs defenders either backing off or just nowhere near him. As Thierry approaches the penalty area, belatedly a couple of defenders cotton onto the danger of the situation and close, or attempt to close him down. Henry shapes to shoot but doesn't, this puts one of the closing defenders on his bum and Henry touches the ball to the left before rifling the ball into the far corner. The celebration is as memorable as the goal and sees Henry charging back the way he came, before sliding to his knees in front of a very, very unhappy Clock End full of Spurs fans.
Now, that was special.

What did the FA do about that goal?, nothing.

"Love it, i was there never forget it my best moment at any game, i was in the North Bank and he ran the whole lenth of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Dirty Yid's because of all the abbuse thay were giving him. Soon Shut them up, what a Legend. "


Wonder if he thinks the same about Ade's celebration??!!

Some people are saying there is a difference between the two.

One was against a rival, and the other wasa against a former team - how is that relevant?
One was a great goal, the other was a regulation header - how is that relevant?
One was by a world class player and the other was by (in their words) and average forward - how is that relevant?

They are scrambling in mock indignation at Adebayors celebration, at the same time they are saying Henry's was OK - hypocritical twats the lot of them.

FWIW, both celebrations were hilarious and good for the game IMO.
