Pop sensation Robbie Williams aimed a trademark cheeky dig at Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night during the first night of his stay in London.
Williams was performing on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium on the second night of his European tour that shall also visit the homes of Ajax, RB Leipzig and Espanyol. The 51-year-old, who supports newly promoted League One club Port Vale, took the opportunity on stage for some football-related audience participation.
The Take That member began by asking Arsenal supporters in the crowd to cheer if they supported the Gunners. He then asked those who don't support Arsenal to boo.
Following this, Williams rhetorically asked the crowd: "How far away are Arsenal from a European trophy," to which he replied: "Four f****** miles," which gained a cheer from the audience as the singer waved that off to suggest he was only joking.
Williams' comment was of course referencing Arsenal's fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur who won the Europa League last month against Manchester United. The Gunners meanwhile finished the campaign empty-handed but did finish 34 points above Spurs and qualified for the Champions League.
Despite his dig at Arsenal, it appears that Williams enjoyed his gig at the Emirates Stadium, taking to X to write: "London, that was a phenomenal show last night… See you again tonight for BRITPOP round 2. Rob x."
The singer will complete his residency at the Emirates Stadium tonight before his tour moves on to Manchester's Co-op Live Arena on Tuesday night. Williams' next appearance at a football stadium will be on Thursday, June 19 when he plays FC Copenhagen's Parken in Denmark.
