- Last night was a sweet moment for Arsenal fans, with the team beating the premiership champions 5-1. It was extra sweet, because the last meeting was a fiery affair, with an Arsenal player sent off in the first half with Arsenal leading 2-1. Manchester City grabbed an equaliser in the last minute of the game, and Erling Haaland (a Manchester City player and most prolific goalscorer in the world) was recorded saying ‘stay humble eh’ to Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal Manager at the end of the game. These are words that will follow and haunt Haaland for the rest of his career. Stupid boy.

More from our friend Northbanksy in the railway tunnel adjacent to the Emirates Stadium, home of the mighty Arsenal football club. The tunnel has become a hall of fame for Arsenal players, and a but of a gallery for the artist, with phenomenal footfall on match days. The first piece if of Kai Havertz (not a great likeness), a player who didn’t do too well at Chelsea, but has improved greatly since joining Arsenal. The words ‘waka waka, eh eh’ are a reference to ‘his’ song which reverberates around the stadium when he scores or performs well, as follows:
“Tsamina, eh, eh, Waka waka, eh, eh, £60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again”
The lyrics are a corruption of Shakira’s hit record ‘Waka waka’.
The second player featured in Northbanksy’s faux stencil style, is Leandro Trossard, who is a bit of a super-sub, and scores a lot of goals considering the amount of game time he gets. This picture captures Trossard’s binocular goal celebration. The picture is accompanied by a typical football fan pre-match. More to come from Northbanksy.

Good morning folks, a really quick couple of posts today, there is lots of sightseeing to be done. Two more Arsenal characters from Northbanksy in the railway tunnel for you, starting with a fan’s favourite, Gabriel Martinelli, one of three Gabriels in the current Arsenal squad. We could do with a few more goals from him, but he loves the club, and that can be enough.
The second piece portrays an unlikely hero at Arsenal, but one who is proving to be invaluable. It is Nicolas Jover, the set-piece coach, whose tactical genius is the envy of teams all over the world. There is a little plaque, which I failed to photograph, in the style of a street sign just above this piece which reads Jover’s Corner, which is a fun play on words. Northbanksy doing the faithful proud.
