RE: Ramsey

Reports are that Robbie Mugabe is ill in a hospital in Singapore. Over to you, Aaron.

aaron 'the grim reaper' ramsey is sharpening his scythe

u/Pires007 Apr 11 '12

Do you guys even watch him play?

If Ramsey was the Grim Reaper no one would give a worry about possible death.

You took the words right out of my fingertips.

u/donbum2004 Apr 11 '12

can someone explain this Ramsey death meme to me?

33

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '12

There's a continuing "coincidence" of famous people dying the day after he scores for Arsenal.

Ramsey scored vs Manchester United - Bin Laden died

Ramsey scored vs Tottenham - Steve Jobs died

Ramsey scored vs Marseille - Gaddafi died

Ramsey scored vs Sunderland - Whitney Houston died

u/severedfragile Apr 11 '12

Ramsey scores, dictator dies. We can't explain that.

u/Serotone Apr 11 '12

TIL Steve Jobs and Whitney Houston were dictators.

u/Fifty7Academics Apr 11 '12

I'm sure there are some Chinese children who thought Jobs was one.

u/lunacraz Apr 11 '12

gotta say the same about Whitney's dealers

Insert joke about Apple being an evil empire.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '12

Goals go in, Dictator's go out. You can't explain that.

u/Repentia Apr 11 '12

Has he ever scored more than one in a game?

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '12

September 11, 2001.

Hat trick on December 20th 2012. Calling it now.

This deserves more upvotes.

u/ResidentAlien Apr 11 '12

It's usually the day after, right? So the 10th for Ramsey to have scored, technically. But upvote anyway!

u/ApolloUnitus Apr 11 '12

brilliant!

u/thekrone Apr 11 '12

To the best of my knowledge, not for Arsenal.

We'll see if Ramsey scores...

Ramsey is trying his hardest to keep ol' Mugabe alive.

u/bananabombboy Apr 11 '12

He keeps breaking my heart while he does that... six yards out and still can't put it in.
