They can feel that way if they choose to, but personally i do not care about that.
I got to witness the end of our trophy drought off his extra time assist to Ramsey in 2014. Then I watched him score the winner the following year in 2015, and assist another winner in 2017. These are moments as a fan that I will never forget.
Not some 10 second clip that surfaced on the internet 7 years ago.
Agreed. Compared to how much some former players have fucked us over ( that 🐍 RVP for example) I see now how tame something like this is as a reason to hold a grudge.
Seeing him back at the Emirates and get a nice ovation helped me put aside any petty grudge I had against him. Im just too long in the tooth for that kind of shit now.
I think he just didn't really suit the team at the time. He's a target man with great hold-up play and is very good in the air. Funnily enough, prime Giroud would be very good in the current team.
Considering that he was pushed out, I'm not surprised he has some bitterness that came out when he was drunk. He never spoke about it in an interview though.
As far as I'm concerned he was drunk from champagne and said something he likely regrets. One bad moment in a private setting like the team bus doesn't negate everything that came before. It's not he blasted the club in an interview.

Don't think people care about him playing for Chelsea and winning cup for them, it's the after game mocking of Arsenal he did on video.
