And yet he was in the gantry with his trousers around his ankles when Klopp ran on the pitch to celebrate with Allison.

It's a bit whingy from Carragher but he does have a point though. Arsenal are cringe, and don't have any real success to back it up.

All clubs are guilty of overdoing it on celebrations at one stage or another, but Arteta and Arsenal do take it to another, very irritating level on a consistent basis.

Everyone knows you're only allowed to overcelebrate drawing 2-2 at West Brom.

Arsenal do go too far with their celebrations though. They always did. Remember the throw in thread on here, then they were the first to celebrate top 4 like a title win. There was also ridiculous celebrations when they scored against Leicester a few years ago as though the title was in the bag, and Bournemouth last season. We aren’t just talking big game win celebrations we’re talking bigger than most teams winning the CL. You’d thought they would have learned their lesson by now as it does make them look silly when they win very little.

This policing of celebrations really is the most tedious modern thing.


I remember people mocking us for celebrating when McTom scored 2 really late goals to turn a loss into a draw. If you can't celebrate late goals or important wins wildly what's the point.

What's more, I'm pretty sure Carragher referenced this incident in a positive way in the recent Stick to Football podcast, where they were discussing Klopps impact. The height of hypocrisy and bitterness.
This is also the club that held an open top bus parade to celebrate the two domestic cups.

No different to idiots on here thinking Gary Neville hates us.
To be fair, Carragher is literally being blindly pro-Liverpool here.

Neville clearly doesn't hate United, but he does overcompensate to hide his obvious bias in a way that Carragher, and basically every other former player doesn't.

He is gross. The way he speaks, the way he turns purple when debating about stupid things in football and how he spits at people. Just overall disgusting.

He is a dreadful pundit….so biased and and often his opinions never thought through.

He epitomises why I dislike Liverpool so much.

Hi, I was in the stadium yesterday, one of the best atmosphere I ve experienced at the Emirates (below Bournemouth still).
I think we (the public) are responsible for these overcelebrations of the team.
We enjoy so much the quality of play, the utter dominance and maybe we get carried away. How stupid we are.
football is a show and I got so much for my money. Thanks Arsenal.

What trophy does a club need to win before their captain is allowed take pictures with the club photographer after a win?

he doesn't have any issues when Klopp does his punching the air routine he does at the end of games.

If the shoe was on the other foot, Carragher would be saying how Liverpool is a close knit family club, how it means more compared to any other team in the world and whatever other sanctimonious trite you can think of.

Didn’t he go nuts when Liverpool won a derby when old TRex arms stopped the ball going out of play and assisting in the spawniest of goals?

It's funny because the same pundits like Carragher would blather on and on and on about how players like Ozil need to show more emotion while they're playing. And show that they care about the team. And respect the hardworking supporters by giving it their all on the pitch.

And now we have a group of players that really do play their butts off and want to celebrate with supporters and staff after a huge win, and he thinks it's classless. I know there's somewhat of a middle ground, but I don't see anything wrong with the way they celebrated yesterday. It wasn't disrespectful to Liverpool or their fans. It was just being excited for playing their best football in the biggest game of the PL season so far.

Cringe monster. Saying Kate Abdo isn’t loyal to her fiancé on live tv. Look at Richard’s reaction.

Would be a very weird "joke" to do in private but live on TV, what the f....

That whole CBS coverage of the champions league is a cringe fest. Still to this day, I don't get why Micah Richards bring to the table in terms of analysis. He's just there for laughs

Agree. I have no idea why people would be upset with what Carragher said when this kind of conversation and language are used pretty much all the time by them.
