Caption Competition 197

This week's competition features the victorious Arsenal team celebrating their Premiership title victory at White Hart Lane.

After Newcastle beat second-placed Chelsea, Arsenal only needed to draw with Tottenham to seal the title.

Gunners Robert Pires and Patrick Vieira conjured up two first-half goals, before Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Keane got two back for Spurs.

The point was enough for the Gunners, who celebrated in style on the pitch of their north London rivals.

But what on earth was defender Ashley Cole up to in this picture?

This week's winning entry is.....

Unbeknownst to his Arsenal teammates, Cole's Pied Piper of Hamilton routine was working, as a throng of players line up behind him

Well done to Chris Parker of Australia for the hilarious caption!

The BBC goody bag's on it's way to you Down Under!

A new caption competition will be published on Monday.
