The big wigs at the FA are bracing themselves for another raucous debate at next weeks extraordinary general meeting.
Following Arsenal’s win against Fulham on Saturday (remember, 100% records aren’t for everyone), Sky Sports outcasts, Keys & Gray are submitting a 3rd attempt at getting the rules changed to limit Arsenal celebrations.
After seeing the players and fans, justifiably celebrate an 85th minute winner and maintaining our best start to a Premier League season in donkeys years, they bitched about the on and off field celebrations;
“This is over-hype.
This is a league game.
If this was the semi-final of the cup somewhere and you’d won, then I get that.
Yeah, well played (in a totally sarcastic tone) you came back to win it and keep your 100 per cent record intact.
Big whoops”
Their petition to the FA has been leaked to me by Doris the cleaner, and below is the ‘hot off the fax’ draft, that will be submitted tomorrow.
RULE 17.3.5a – Player and fan celebrations
“As soon as Arsenal score:
(a) the players must retreat to the 18 yard box and bow their heads in somber reflection.
(b) the management team must head down the tunnel, flay themselves with a cat-o-nine tails and must not return to the bench for 5 minutes (minimum)
(c) all fans must sit down and shut up. Any supporters standing and (heaven forbid) cheering, will be given a lifetime ban from all stadia within the UK and the European Union”
However, the Arsenal will have Representation at the EGM, in the form of Laura Wood.
Her full statement is below but the brief summary of it is;
“JOG ON AND GET A LIFE”
“Genuinely…what is the point of football if you can’t enjoy it in the moment? It’s just a happy team with happy fans who will probably go out tonight & get s*** faced. That’s the point.”

Without doubt Keys hates Arsenal.
He stated that he found Arteta’s behaviour irritating.
Anyone can only be irritated when the actions of someone else impacts you in some way, hence booing opposition players or the referee when they do something or make a decision that adversely affects your team.
So why would Arteta’s demeanor “irritate Keys?
Simple – Keys hates Arsenal and he was miffed that we managed to win when his hopes were up that we would lose or at best draw.
His disappointment was beyond his limited limits of self-control.
Only last season his fellow pundits were wildly celebrating with Brentford fans after Arsenal lost to Brentford – was that also “over the top”?
When other sides win and celebrate wildly I have never heard similar complaints from these chops, so why Arsenal?
Keys and his gabbas can go and do one – and we should have no qualms about telling him that he’s a complete @rse.
Keys and Gray. Yesterday’s men with yesterday’s opinion.
Keys is a no mark gob shite.Glad he was gutted.Tells you were on the right track.It’s plain to see a lot of these pundits,simply cannot hide their bias.Meaning they’re not fit to comment fairly.Bein we’re watching.
I think they are right. A short round of applause should suffice. I also hope Alan Smith is reprimanded by Sky for sounding far too cheerful about an Arsenal win.
RK is well past his “sell by” date; a misogynistic irrelevant has-been.
Mind you it’s true that Arsenal have only played teams lower in the league (I know, there aren’t any above us 🙂 )
