Maybe I just don't care enough.
That's not what I'm seeing, maybe I'm naive, I just see players celebrating a goal for their new club, no more than that, certainly not rubbing it in our face.Who said they're not allowed? I just think less of them if they rub it in our face and it's not warranted.
Not sure that's true. He's always celebrated goals ridiculously. His goal at Luton, the goal at Anfield that got disallowed because of Jonny's toe, he celebrated that like Marco Tardelli.He was definitely being a dickhead. He celebrated that assist more than any goal I'd seen him score. I could understand if he'd been mistreated or whatever, but that just wasn't the case

Did you not understand what I said? Or are you being intentionally argumentative?Must have missed him playing for Luton or Liverpool before us
Same. I'd also find it a bit off if we signed someone and they scored against their old club and didn't celebrate.That's not what I'm seeing, maybe I'm naive, I just see players celebrating a goal for their new club, no more than that, certainly not rubbing it in our face.

I really don't see anything wrong with it - I see it as showing passion for your current club, not disrespect for your old club. Unless you're Adebayor of course.
Del said he has never seen him celebrate a goal in a way similar to how he celebrated that assist.Neither.
Your comparison doesn't hold up. Firstly we're talking about an a pretty insignificant assist, not a goal, secondly your analysis of his celebrations ignores the whole point of the conversation; which is that it's against his long-time former club

That isn't true, I gave examples of how that isn't true.
The broader point is that he has always celebrated things emotionally.
I remember him celebrating Doherty's winner against Man City like a mad man, and he wasn't involved in that goal at all.
