Carra angry at Arsenal selfies

Jamie Carragher says it's 'nonsense' for Arsenal footballers to take celebratory selfies after a Premier League victory.

Both Aaron Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez posted Instagram photos of themselves and their teammates after Sunday's 2-0 win over Manchester City, leaving old-school defender Carragher incensed.

Carragher told Monday Night Football: "It's winding me up - it's an absolute joke.

"We’re talking about one giant football club going to another giant. We're not talking about a lower league team going to City and winning.

"Of course, you have celebrations at the end of a game, but one thing that’s winding me up full stop in football is this nonsense. Team pictures on social media after games in dressing rooms.

"Normally you have those pictures with a cup. It’s not just Arsenal, plenty of teams do it. It’s absolute nonsense. Stop doing it.

"It’s like a picture you put on your mantelpiece when you’re finished in 10 years’ time. What’s that? Oh, we won away at Man City.'"

Carragher mocked the concept with a selfie of his own after Monday night's show, tweeting a picture with the MNF team with the caption 'This is for the MNF fans - we couldn't have done it without you. One for the mantle piece!!'
