Comedian Jack Whitehall is an Arsenal fan, that much is clear. But how much does he really know about his beloved Gunners?
The A League of Their Own panellist has been known to have his say on the Emirates club on the show where he has questioned, to put it kindly, Robin van Persie's legacy and has even made jokes at Arsene Wenger's expense on television.
But the 28-year-old is given a particular tough ride by Sportsmail's Jamie Redknapp, Andrew Flintoff and presenter James Corden as part of the show, with his football knowledge questioned on a weekly basis.

Whitehall is a big Arsenal fan, but his knowledge of football is regularly mocked on television

So what better way to find out just how big a fan he is, than a Gunners quiz against one of Arsenal's all-time greats ahead of the club's visit to Chelsea at the weekend.
Enter Thierry Henry.
A clearly starstruck Whitehall was brilliantly awkward when meeting one of his heroes at the Sky Sports studios, as his long, lingering, handshake and awestruck gaze ensure the meeting got off to a tough start.
Then there's the story of when the pair first met, which only Whitehall remembers, obviously, as the comedian recounts the moment he attempted to make a 'Va Va Voom' joke in reference to Henry's role in a Renault advertising campaign.
Henry didn't seem particular impressed with Whitehall's knowledge at times during the quiz
The Frenchman's disdain for such a gag was matched by his reaction to Whitehall's answer to the quiz's first question, as the comedian suggested Tony Adams had made the most Premier League appearances for the club.
A steely-faced Henry took great joy in informing Whitehall just how wrong he was, before the correct answer was revealed, but the comedian soon began to earn a little respectability as he correctly identified the player to have received the most Premier League red cards and the man sent off in the 2006 Champions League final.
He was a little wide of the mark when guessing how many games the club won during their 'Invincibles' season in 2003-04, as he suggested they claimed 49 victories in a 38-game season.
But by the end, Whitehall had earned Henry's respect and even shared a fist-bump with him
But he ended in style as he finally earned Henry's respect, as well as a fist-bump, by correctly answering questions on the number of trophies won by Wenger and the striker's Arsenal goal tally.
Despite Whitehall proving a few people wrong with his football knowledge, it's unlikely pundits Henry or Redknapp will be worried about their jobs any time soon.
Jack Whitehall took time out of his busy tour schedule ahead of Chelsea v Arsenal on Sky Sports 1, 11:30am, Saturday 4 February. Jack is currently on tour - visit www.jackewhitehall.com for tickets to ‘Jack Whitehall At Large'.
