ROBBIE WILLIAMS took aim at Arsenal’s lack of European success during his gig at the Emirates Stadium last night.
The former Take That singer performed at the Gunners’ stadium as part of his international tour on Friday and Saturday.

While entertaining the fans packed into the ground, Williams couldn’t help but take a cheeky dig at Arsenal – teasing them for the success of local rivals Tottenham.
Joking about Tottenham’s Europa League glory this season, and Arsenal’s failure to win a European trophy since the 1994 Cup Winners’ Cup, Williams asked: “How far are Arsenal from a European trophy?”.
Only to reply: “Four f*****g miles”.
Tottenham fans were absolutely loving the tongue-in-cheek jibe, which was met with a huge cheer inside the stadium.
On social media, one fan wrote: “I always liked Robbie”.
While another added: “No way I’ve just seen Robbie Williams bantering Arsenal on their own turf”.
Arsenal fans were quick to point out that Williams was only right with his assessment of the men’s team, after Arsenal Women won the Champions League this season.
One wrote: “Literally won the UWCL two weeks ago, my friend…”

And a second posted: “I think, Robbie, you’ll find you’re actually stood in the home of a team that has two Champions League trophies…”
Spurs fans are already fond of Williams after they nicked his hit song ‘Angels’ to create a chant for now sacked manager Ange Postecoglou.
And Williams even posted a video of himself belting out the tune with the Tottenham lyrics back in 2023, declaring: “Guess I’m a Spurs fan now”.
In reality Williams is a diehard Port Vale fan, regularly attending the club’s games.
While he was named as Port Vale’s Club President in February last year and has a bar named after him at Vale Park.
