Jack Wilshere was in understandably high spirits during Arsenal's victory parade yesterday and was unable to resist taunting the club's eternal rivals Tottenham.
The England midfielder, an extra-time substitute in the Gunners' 3-2 win, led the assembled fans in singing the club's famous Tottenham-goading chant.
Grabbing the microphone, Wilshere shouted: "What do we think of Tottenham?"
"S***" came the reply from the fans below.
"What do we think of s***?" Wilshere replied. "Tottenham!" they said.
Sky Sports, who aired the whole exchange, were forced into a hasty apology.
