It was Arsenal’s greatest moment of the season, but even then Jamie Carragher found something to be critical about.
As Carragher analysed the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Manchester City before the Sky Sports Monday Night Football match, the former Liverpool defender hit out at players posting post-match selfies on social media – like this one from Aaron Ramsey.

He said on the show: “Somethingg that’s winding me up full stop in football is this nonsense. Team pictures on social media after games in dressing rooms.
“You normally have those pictures with a cup. It’s not just Arsenal, plenty of teams do it. It’s an 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. So what?’ It’s winding me up.”
Carragher was positively seething at the time, but he showed he had a sense of humour about it after the show ended, when he posted this picture.
This is for the MNF fans – we couldn't have done it without you. One for the mantle piece!! pic.twitter.com/ge8U9E4dCK

For the sake of balance, let’s just show that Carragher is right about one thing – it isn’t just Arsenal who do it.
Here’s Carragher’s former Liverpool team-mate Raheem Sterling after the Reds beat Stoke 1-0.
