Mathieu Flamini and Arsenal

Mathieu Flamini began the season as a relatively non-descript footballer, being Arsenal’s third choice defensive midfielder. However, as the season progressed, in an astonishing revelation, the Frenchman let it be known that he stood to earn billions having created a company that could potentially provide a renewable replacement for oil.

With Flamini’s billions in sight, Arsenal fans indulged in the dream that he would buy the club and get them Lionel Messi:

Might we sign Messi next summer, on £600,000 a week? I don't know. It depends how soon Flamini gets his £20bn.

However, when Barcelona met Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League, Flamini had the wrong idea of getting close to Messi, conceding a penalty within 47 seconds of coming on.

Flamini, a man clever enough to produce a renewable replacement for oil, doesn't know that steaming into Messi in the box is a bad idea.

May the Frenchman continue to provide mirth for football, if the oil replacement business doesn’t pan out.
