Downing not expecting Anelka punishment

Agen bola terpercayaindo11.com reported,Keith Downing is not expecting West Brom striker Nicolas Anelka to be punished for his goal celebration during the 3-3 draw with West Ham. Anelka scored twice as West Brom came from behind on two occasions to earn a point at Upton Park on Saturday, but caused a stir after the former Arsenal, Real Madrid and Manchester City forward followed his first of the game with a gesture known in France as the ‘quenelle’. The gesture, made famous by comedian Dieudonne M’Bala M’Bala, is said to have anti-Semitic connotations and has been described as a ‘Nazi salute in reverse’. Dieudonne, though, has insisted that it is anti-Zionist. And interim West Brom head coach Downing was quick to defend the 34-year-old Anelka. “No, not at all,” Downing responded when asked if he is expecting disciplinary action to be taken against Anelka.as reported by Indo Eleven. “It was dedicated to a friend of his who is a comedian in France. He’s totally unaware of what the problems were or the speculation thrown around. Source http://indo11.com
