The thought of a child betraying the family allegiances to support the same clubs as his school chums is too much to bear for some parents. As a result, one Arsenal fan who found himself in this position went so far as to forge a letter from Arsene Wenger in a desperate bid to win back his son.
The Dude Perfect team went to England to partake in a variety of football themed activities, including a game of bubble football against a team of Man City old boys.
You’re top of the table. Beating Liverpool 3-2 after coming back from 2-1 down. Olivier Giroud with a brace. Feeling good.
A groom played the old switcheroo with his wedding reception toast, making it sound like he was saying wonderful things about his new wife and then revealing that he was actually talking about Mesut Ozil. Somehow, the couple didn’t immediately get a divorce.

Following the brilliance of Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal’s match commentary, Arsenal’s YouTube channel has struck gold once again. This time, the players were the marks as children were tasked with subjecting them to uncomfortable interviews.
Jack Wilshere, Per Mertesacker, Bellerin, and Calum Chambers first had to deal with their younger interviewers’ disappointment that they weren’t Aaron Ramsey or Mesut Ozil. Bellerin, in particular, wasn’t too empathetic. Then came some tough trivia questions. Well, they were supposed to be tough, but Mertesacker certainly didn’t think so, as he surprised his prankster with the answers.
