Don't be afraid to show emotion by ripping your coat off and throwing it to the turf. This is always a safer bet when you have the exact same coat underneath. 4. Know your celebration Practice it. Perfect it. If the one-arm Hitler salute is for you, well and good. 5. But know when to use it We only celebrate when we score. 6. Know where to use it

If you need to make room before you start your celebration, then do so. Remember, make sure the fans can see you. 7. Know what this means And know it's not good. 8. Bamboozle your audience Don't be afraid to show off your encyclopedia of bullshit. 9. But don't complicate things The objective is simple after all. 10. Respect tradition If you've seen others do this before, then you should do it, too. 11. But have set limits

Wish you weren't so friendly now. 12. Be gracious Celebrating at old club shocker. 13. Be a sore loser Because you don't want this to happen to you. 14. Have confidence in yourself Stats are important. They are all that matter. 15. Remember the world is watching So if you're getting carried away with yourself when you were always trying to go for the cool, calculated persona, quickly get control of the situation again. 16. Have a laugh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwCXbATP0oU The longer it goes on, the more likely you might get out of answering the question. 17. The golden rule Just be one of the lads.
