Didn’t you see it on the tv? The Arsenal players were being pelted with the stuff. And not just single stalks – whole lumps of the stuff, which can have a reasonable amount of heft to it. There was even some numpty on a Guardian blog who claimed his proudest moment as a fan was nailing Henry behind the ear with some earlier on this season. Don’t know if it’s just my sense of humour lessening as I get older, or because I love Arsenal and fucking hate Chelsea (now – never used to), but if I was trying to do my job and someone twatted me around the head with anything, I’d be none too impressed.

BTW, the incident with Terry being kicked in the head – you do realise why Foley the Arsenal physio was there to treat him so quickly? It’s because he was there already treating Almunia who’d been injured by something being thrown from the crowd.

Come on SID, don’t you want to play any more or have you gone back to supporting QPR, Fulham, etc. Hence why you don’t know the history of your OWN CLUB’S?? songs.

Also, it would be great if you could contribute and tell readers about the history of the song…

Sid

1) When did I ever say that I knew the ditty? It’s common knowledge that I own both sites – so why shouldn’t I use info gained from one site on the other?

2) I distinctly remember Fab complaining about it thrown – whether it hit him or not is a moot point.

3) What does my knowing anything about Chelsea or the Carling Cup final have to do with me not knowing the ditty or the exact fact whether the celery stick actually hit Fab or not?

4) Everyone’s laughing – yes, so am I.

Now that we have that cleared up, you mind telling me what your deal is?

Don’t make out you know anything about Chelsea – you just cut and pasted it from http://blogfc.com/celery-throwing-chelsea-fans-should-tell-the-fa-to-f-off/ where someone had to tell you.

Don’t make out you know anything about the Carling Cup Final. Nothing hit Fabregas – he just whined about it being thrown. He’s not the first either. Fans have been throwing it at each other, up in the air and at their own players for decades. It’s footballing confetti – no more, no less. It’s not in response to the football being boring – it came to life when Chelsea won promotion playing scintillating stuff with Nevin, Speedie and Dixon leading the line.

Arse complained about it in the spirit of being poor losers (or just losers) at the Carling Cup Final. Everyone’s laughing at the imposition from the FA and laughing at the suits at Chelsea for submitting to this nonsense.
