Ben White tells Arsenal teammate to ‘get your bum out’ as forgotten star joins mad Premier League title parade
Arsenal have celebrated their first Premier League title for 22 years with a jubilant parade through north London.
Supporters lined the streets of Islington as the Gunners squad made their way around the area.
Red smoke filled the air as fans let off flares to celebrate their title-winning campaign.
Sunday’s parade started and ended at the Emirates Stadium, with the women’s team also involved.
It follows their Women’s Champions Cup victory this season in a successful year for the club.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s side ended their wait for a 14th league title by finishing eight points clear of Manchester City.
Despite losing the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, the squad remained in high spirits.
Party atmosphere
With the Arsenal players on an open-top bus as they made their way along the route, a microphone was also on hand during the parade.
Amongst those to get on the mic in front of the supporters was Ben White.
The defender could not miss the opportunity to poke fun at one of his teammates’ recent wardrobe malfunction.
White could be heard chanting: “Hincapie, get your bum out,” towards Piero Hincapie.
The chant was in reference to the Ecuadorian’s mishap during the win over Burnley earlier this month.
Hincapie’s backside had been exposed after his shorts came down during a tussle with Burnley’s Axel Tuanzebe.
Rice Rice baby
White was not the only Gunners star to get a chant going on the bus.
Declan Rice was also handed the microphone, before singing: “Set piece again, ole, ole.”
The chant has become a regular fixture at Arsenal matches this season, with fans singing it whenever they score from a set play.
Of their 71 Premier League goals this season, 25 came from set pieces.
Those include a record-breaking 19 goals from corners across the course of the title-winning campaign.
Rice was not done there, though, as he followed up the chant by rapping Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’.
The song is often heard at the Emirates Stadium, with Rice’s name inserted into the chorus.
Forgotten man
A surprise face also made an appearance during the parade despite not featuring for Arsenal since January.
Ethan Nwaneri joined the title celebrations, having spent the second half of the season on loan at Marseille.
The midfielder made six Premier League appearances prior to his move to France.
When interviewed on the bus, Nwaneri revealed he had been in bed when the Gunners won the league.
The rest of the squad had gathered at the club’s training ground, with City’s draw at Bournemouth confirming their status as champions.
Asked where he was when they won the title, Nwaneri explained: “In my bed. This guy (Myles Lewis-Skelly) called me. No words to describe it, crazy.”
Nwaneri scored twice in 11 appearances for Marseille during his loan spell.
