Spurs boss Redknapp slams Arsenal moaning over Adebayor celebrations

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp can't believe the moaning from Arsenal over Emmanuel Adebayor's goal celebrations a fortnight ago.

In his column for The Sun, Redknapp wrote: "What on earth was controversial about it?

"He took a load of abuse from Arsenal fans, scored against them, ran the length of the pitch to the away end and dropped to his knees as if to say to them 'I've scored, 'ave some of that'.

"I think the FA are wrong to charge him in the first place. But, then again, I think the whole goal celebration issue has got way out of hand.

"Look at Carlos Tevez on Monday night. He scores against his old club West Ham and then says he refused to celebrate because of his love for the club and its supporters.

"What a load of old tosh.

"Tevez was at West Ham for a year, he hardly played a game until the end of that one season, after which he quickly moved off to Manchester United.

"I couldn't for the life of me see why he didn't want to punch the air in recognition of a goal. Why shouldn't he?

"Inside he must have been delighted.

"If you don't want to score goals, don't play football. It's incredible."
