What a bunch of hello kitties you are. Swooning over a cringeworthy bro choreography that should be reserved for a grammar school locker room.:facepalm:

What next? Duck dance? V-sign girly selfies by the touchline? Badge kissing, ffs?! :banghead:

If you want to be original then score extraordinary goals and celebrate like a man: Resoluely lift your collar (Cantona), do the Jesus (Berbatov), do the Philosopher (Thuram), or do the old-fashioned fist pump.(y) Single high-five should suffice in most cases.

Only the staged Chelsea celebrations with AVB were more embarrassing.

Pansies.
:cool:

YEAH! Like a MAN! LIKE A MAN!!!! FOOTBALL!! MEN!!!! MEEEEENN!!! MAN!

:cautious:

Asked my lad about it, he said it's well cool, his academy team are all making their own handshake celebrations now.

It's harmless fun, long may it continue.

If they continue to do them it means we're scoring and hopefully winning.They can toss each other off in the centre circle for all i care, as long as the goals keep coming

I've been enjoying the handshakes more since I realised how much it's winding up fans from other clubs. They hate the handshakes.

I hope they keep doing them so that is pissed people off, faux outrage can fuck right off.

Personally I think they are fucking great.

I think the players seem like pretty like a self aware and funny group. Looks to me that they are aware that they are pretty silly which is what makes them really endearing and funny. And the fact that they keep doing them shows that they don't give a shit about what anybody else thinks, which is a great sign.

Other fans and pundits obviously fail to see the funny side, but I was wondering what you lot thought.

They enjoy it great.

Definitely yay. Shows they are having fun, and there's a great togetherness typified by their tomfoolery! Got a real Band of Brothers vibe to it. I also love how much it pisses off other fans... Not because it's naff, but rather I reckon it's more a sign of envy. We all wish our teams were consistently great and to top it off they play with swashbuckling style, and we're very much a team. No preening individual obsessed with their own glory. But it's more about the team.

Poch started it!

But the initial routine of exchanging the traditional greeting was established by Pochettino, who has insisted all of his players shake hands prior to training during his spell in charge at White Hart Lane.

And the Argentine coach is adamant the procedure ensures bad feelings cannot linger before Spurs start their working day on the training ground.

"It's very important to create a good dynamic," Pochettino told Tottenham's official website.

"When you touch a person you can feel, you can translate emotion.

"It's very important to try and create a better feeling from the beginning of the day and start to work in a different mood," he added

Bloody hell, if Sonny insists on doing a special handshake with everyone before training they wouldn't get started until midday!

Anyone see Taxi to Training with Dele this week??
He and Eric have a much less complex hand-shake...
