Even two of Arsenal's greatest players were divided over the celebrations that followed last weekend's vital win over Liverpool at the Emirates. Ian Wright was quite justifiably outraged that a few fist-pumps from Mikel Arteta and Martin Odegaard taking a picture of a photographer dominated the post-match discourse.
"Why is everybody trying to kill the joy? Don't kill the joy," the legendary striker pleaded in a video posted on social media. "There's so much of the season to go. As soon as Arsenal do anything, they just come under a pile-on. It's like we can't have any joy....the hatred is just so intense."
Lee Dixon said he could fully understand his former team-mate's point but admitted to feeling "caught right in the middle" of the debate. "I was celebrating because it was such a brilliant performance, but as a player when I was in that situation, you've got to be respectful," the former full-back told BBC Radio 5 Live. "You celebrate your win, but you don't over-celebrate."
