The Aaron Ramsey Curse Continues...

Source-Aaron Ramsey's two goals for Arsenal this week have led to an unwelcome internet joke resurfacing.

Many fans have pointed out the Gunners midfielder's goalscoring form coincides with the death of a well-known figure and that the 'curse' has struck again.

Ramsey scored against Sunderland at the weekend and against Liverpool on Wednesday night, a British icon died a day after both matches - music legend David Bowie passed away on Sunday before much-loved actor Alan Rickman died yesterday.

The Welshman's goals have bizarrely come at the same time number of high-profile deaths, following strikes against Manchester United, Marseille, Sunderland and Tottenham in the 2011-12 season.

Spread over the course of a year, the goals were followed by the passing of Osama Bin Laden, Steve Jobs, Whitney Houston and Colonel Gaddafi.

What a cross for Aaron Ramsey to bear. Knowing that every single time you score a goal, someone notable could die. Those aren't even all the names, just the ones people in the U.S. would probably have heard of. It's almost funny in a way.

Oh, never mind. No one with more of a personality than Aaron Ramsey. Can you imagine that curse though? I know he said he doesn't give it much merit, but good God you can only play it off so much until it starts to eat away at your head. I mean yeah, I would still try and score every goal, but part of me would wince that the second that ball hit the back of the net thinking Dave Chapelle or Joe Buck is going to drop dead. That'll eat at you. I guess the best way you can rationalize it is knowing there's a 50/50 chance you end up killing a scumbag. I mean look at the list. Jobs, Houston, Walker, Williams, Bowie and Rickman are all generally accepted to not be the absolute scum of the Earth. Then there's Gaddafi and Bin Laden. That's .batting 250, or basically what Hanley Ramirez hit in 2015 (he was .249). I could deal with that after the first few deaths.

Of course, Aaron Ramsey has no time for such tomfoolery.

We're all having fun here.
