Adebayor: What's behind the military salute thing?

[CornerPinDreamer]

i dunno the reason for it, but today when he scored his first i found myself jumping up off the couch to salute him back

I then proceeded to laugh at myself, given it was 6 am here!

not just you... my wife walked in on me saluting the bloody laptop, she made sure it wasn't porn and walked out again

 

[Legend10]

Our fans should all salute him back when he does it.

Now if done as one that would be brilliant!

 

[Mr Pink]

I love it, my favourite celebration.

Hate Sturridge's....just cringe worthy.

 

[Ribble]

I kinda hope he's taking the piss out of the quenelle too.

 

[mpickard2087]

I quite like it actually, raises a smile.

Tempted to salute back from my armchair, but no... Maybe when he fires in the goal that wins us the League/Cup Final though

 

[HertsYid]

i dont care why he does it, just so long as he gets to do it a dozen more times or so this season i'll be happy!

 

[weststandvoice]

Anyone know why he suddenly started doing it every time he scores?

It's a variation on coming on last, stopping on the touchline and pointing towards a made up friend.

It all means = look at me.

I actually do that...

 

[evoid]

It makes me cringe every time I see it...not because I don't like the celebration, but because it reminds me of the Swansea away game where I saluted back at him without realising how much of a twat I looked...

 

[Gassin's finest]

I like it a damn sight more than the Bale love heart

And he won't be gay about it and trademark it either...

 

[faymantaray]

As a celebration its ok but not up there with Crouch's robot or Keano's daft somersault and cartwheel.

Haha was more of a rolly polly rather than a somersault.. pure uncoordination..

ya forgot the bang bang

 

[HotspurFC1950]

At your service reporting for duty.

Fans are supposed to return the salute.

 

[tototoner]

surprised no one has kicked up a fuss by being offended by it yet

 

[riggi]

Better than the shit dances.

 

[SlickMongoose]

What's behind the military salute thing?

Mostly the rest of the team running to congratulate him.

 

[cozzo]

Its an inverted two fingers to his haters. Wait till the FA find out...lol

 

[Gassin's finest]

Just a drunk Oirish tumble really, with the pistol brandishing at the end... used to love that!

Fuck you Keano for fucking off to Liverpool, and fuck you Benitez for ruining him!

 

[Flashspur]

Chill ladies, I've got this.......he is a Village People fan.

 

[Metalhead]

I kinda hope he's taking the piss out of the quenelle too.

That was my thought. Maybe he's showing Anelka how to salute without being offensive . I love Ade's salute anyway. Anyone know what the latest is on Anelka anyway?
