Arsenal fan and TV presenter Laura Woods had a cheeky message for Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou after bumping into him at Wimbledon.
Newly-appointed Postecoglou has been on a whistle-stop tour of some of England's biggest sporting events since making the move from Celtic last month.
The 57-year-old was spotted at Lord's for the second Ashes Test between England and Australia, and also made an appearance at Wimbledon on Friday.

Also in attendance was much-loved broadcaster and die-hard Arsenal fan Woods, who is enjoying a well earned break after announcing that she would leave her role as host of talkSPORT’s Sports Breakfast show, a position she has held since 2020.
The pair bumped into each other in the Wimbledon sunshine and Woods posted an image on Instagram of the chance encounter.
But despite both of their beaming smiles, Woods joked that their friendship wouldn't last for long.

Woods shared the selfie alongside the caption: "Big Ange! Mates until the season starts alright."
Postecoglou will be getting to work with his players and staff ahead of a hugely important season for the north London club after finishing eighth place in the Premier league last term.
They face West Ham in a pre-season friendly in Postecoglou's home country of Australia on July 18 ahead of their opening Premier League fixture against Brentford on August 13.
And fans are already behind their new manager after he delivered a brilliant opening speech upon his arrival.

"Hi everyone, it’s great to finally get started as manager of this great football club," he started.
"I’m really looking forward to our task ahead, I think it’s an exciting opportunity for us to now set off in a new direction, play football and create an environment that embodies the values and traditions of this fantastic football club.
"Hopefully a team that you can all be proud of and more importantly, get excited by. I can assure you that right through pre-season, we won’t leave any stone unturned, myself, the staff and the players to make sure that when the league comes around that you’ll be as excited as I am about the season ahead.
"I really look forward to seeing everyone at the stadium, in particular at our first home game, and look forward to the journey ahead."
