makes me laugh the way he jumps straight into the crowd
not running up to them and throwing his arms around them at the front but full blooded jumping straight in there getting totally mobbed

When his time with us is up, he will leave with, for some of us legendary status, not for all and I get that but for many of us, that goal on Sunday given who the opposition were will surely have cemented it.

I think it was after the Hull game he said in an interview that's his goal celebration now lol He's obviously more than happy to take a booking each time he scores - lovin' it!

Why was he booked? I thought you only got booked for removing your shirt? Stupid rules which are sadly endemic these days - the killjoys that make the rules....

Yeah he got booked after the Hull celebrations, I didn't see him get the yellow after the goal celebrations on Sunday but just checked and he did get a card so I'm assuming it was for that (or did he get a yellow when he took out 2 of their players?).

Jumping into the crowd is a bookable offence. You can celebrate in front of them but not go over the advertising hoardings.

You could see how much it meant to him in his interview immediately after the match. Just brilliant!

Is there a link to this anywhere mate?

Thank you mate 💜💙
I think it was the sky interview with him & Grealish where he really came across as more emotional.  I'll see if I can find it.
Yeah it was, he wasn't anywhere near as composed in the first interview and as Amfy says both him and Grealish looked as though they wanted to get back to join in the celebrations.

Book 'em I say. Totally unnecessary.
Goal celebration rules to be observed:
Defender - Clenched fist and then jog back to your own half slightly embarrassed to have scored. Team mates are allowed to slap you on the back as you go.
Midfielder - Perfunctory mobbing from team mates allowed followed by arm held aloft as you glance up to the Holte End. 
Striker - Stand stock still, both arms in the air accepting the adulation of the Holte and awaiting the congratulations of team mates. One team mate is allowed to launch himself at you for a manly embrace. Slightly more time given to allow for striker's massive egos to be satiated by the adoration.
All (if not winning) - Grab the ball from the net and run back to the half way line. Refuse any congratulations whilst angrily gesturing to team mates to get on with the match in hand.

Found this on Twitter.

Hutton's running,
All around you,
Grealish playing,
Having fun.

It's the season,
Love and understanding,
Merry Christmas, Birmingham.

Brilliant! Wonder if we'll hear that too?

It's starting to go round my head now: makes a change from Celine Dion!

Just hope we don't do a "post-Wolves game" tonight...
