The message to Arsenal and the fans was pretty clear, a reminder of which team were the reigning champions. But Piero Hincapie seemed to take the post as a personal challenge.
The Gunners went on to become Premier League champions themselves, then won 1-0 away to Liverpool on Sunday.
After the match, Hincapie shared some pictures on Instagram , and the first was a black and white photo from the game, and the third was a colour photo of the golden Premier League patch on his arm.
To drive the point home, Hincapie added the caption: "I don't forget…"
It's good to see the Arsenal players taking the opportunity to revel in their own success a little. Bukayo Saka did the same thing earlier in the season after scoring the winner against Aston Villa, pointing to the golden badge and shouting: "This is our club, we're champions."

Arsenal have repeatedly been the subject of mockery from their rivals over their recent second-place finishes, but the Gunners are the reigning champions and three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
If they can't give a little back right now, it's hard to imagine when they will be able to.
