If Spurs fans(who booed him when injured) can't take a bit back then there is something wrong with them. What he did isn't worse than what Adebayor did, they were both players giving it back to fans who had been giving them stick.
Not a lot in either really
Yep exactly this. If you can't take it don't dish it out.

Presumably you weren't one of those waving ££££ at City fans last January then?
Arsenal fans really crack me up. They would Know all about money given the fact that arsenal are basically robbing them with their ticket prices.
bit of a myth this thats perpetuated by mass media coverage which makes people like yourself come to the above conclusions.
a lot of clubs (norwich of the top of my head) charge away fans similar to what we charge.
yet our prices gets splashed all over the papers and made to look like we are the only ones.
the cheapest spurs season ticket is £730, ours is around £900. chelsea is over £700, liverpool is over £700.
out of the top clubs, apart from city and utd, the season ticket prices are not exactly miles apart.
the difference is we have a state of the art stadium which is worth almost £500m.
can any other club say that?
and this is the reason why most arsenal fans understand (even though they may not like it) that we pay a bit more in ticket prices.
also, there are only a handful of teams, maybe only 1 (city) that play as good if not better football then us. thats entertainment, and again its something that arsenal fans understand. id rather pay £90 to watch arsenal then £50 to watch qpr or wigan or sunderland.

i wasn't talking about teams. i said that ade is a ex arsenal player so scoring against us and then taunting us like that is going to incite idiots more.
for example i'm going to be more wound up by rvp scoring against us then rubbing it in our face then i would if rooney did exactly the same thing.
theo is not a ex spurs player so such a minor gesture shouldn't have wound up the spurs fans anywhere near as much.
also theo was not even 10% as animated and wild as ade was, pointing out the score is no different to the old fingers to the mouth shhh celebration, its basically a very mild form of taunting. if you saw theo today he couldn't have looked more laid back and relaxed if he tried, it was obvious that it was meant as just a bit of banter, nothing more.
either way the bottom line is its ridiculous, football fans are pathetic if they can't take that, and i include arsenal fans as well.
im expecting stony to reply to this saying arsenal are being hypocrites so thought i'd mention that as well.
You keep mentioning that Adebayor is an ex Arsenal player but dont mention that what Walcott did was in your biggest game of the season against your biggest & hatred rivals.
So tell me what is the difference ?
wasn't our biggest game of the season for a start.
