that celebration has to go. It's shit. There, I said it. If are going to get used him scoring 20 odd times a season he has to come up with something else. Maybe we can recruit someone from Brazil in the summer and if nothing else help with a new jig. All other aspects of his game are progressing at a solid pace.

Let me just say that nothing in the observable universe is as utterly naff and shit as two or three men trying to do a little dance together by a corner flag.

I'm not really sure what Weimanns celebration is all about. I think it's the Elf bowman from Hawk the Slayer maybe, but it's better than poorly executed samba dancing and I hope to see it as many times as possible.

Hey, at least it's not like Shearer's celebration :D.

I want nothing to do with grown men rocking babies either. That's utterly hideous. Nor do I want one of our top strikers being called an elf or remotely referred to any other JR Tolkien character. I don't want any wanker wrist kissing or fucking stupid thing Luca Toni or Michu does when they score. However it is fixed, it needs to be if we are to endure 20 league goals a season for the next number of years. A simple slide into the corner will suffice. I'll even take a Gabbyesque, thumbs pointing to the back of his jersey "read my name" or ear cupped to the crowd during our title run next season. But shooting finger arrows into the sky. It just has to stop.

Actually, if you follow any of our younger players on Twitter, you quickly realise that all they ever do is go to Costa, to Nandos and play FIFA 13 or Call of Duty.

We should probably be grateful they're not fashioning goal celebrations out of ordering a grande latte, or trying to pick someone off at 50 yards with a sniper rifle.

Mind you, to be fair, it's not as if we actually get the chance to see many goal celebrations these days.

I long for the day when the main topic on here is the lack of artistic performance celebrating goals.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to be sick to death of Weimann's jig.

Not sure the latte celebration would work. It would have to involve at least a couple of players to pull off. One serving, with the scorer waiting for his coffee, tapping his feet for ages while the line of other players behind him grows. He'd then finally get served only to turned around a get a yellow card for time wasting.

Listen it's better to nip these things in the bud, and not need to have a match thread go on for ten extra pages over a naff goal celebration

Weimann's celebration is a cross between Lampard's vomit-inducing pointing at the sky, and Robbie Keane's sort of six-shooter Wild West gunslinger action.  It certainly beats Emile Heskey's pretend DJ mixing deck effort, although that was seen so infrequently I'm amazed I even remember it.

If he's scoring goals he can spaff off into the stand after each one for all I care.

You would say that, you're in France.

I wonder what Lawro's goal celebration would be like if he was playing today? Maybe a 'i'm a little teapot' type effort me thinks.

The Costas one would be better than the Starbucks latte celebration, as that would involve the scorer being asked for his name for the invisible cup.

Or the Caffe Nero one, where the scorer pats his pockets, trying to find his loyalty card

Bloody hell, you'll be suggesting a reach-around next.
