Man tests girlfriend’s Arsenal FC knowledge to save relationship

Mumbai: In a bizarre story, a die-hard romantic Arsenal fan made his girlfriend answer an exam to test her knowledge about the ‘Gunners’ in a bid to save their relationship.

Feeling that his relationship had reached something of an impasse, the Arsenal unnamed fan posed questions on last season's FA Cup final, Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard and even asked her name the Gunners' current starting XI.

And that’s not all as his girlfriend passed the exam that featured a weird professional-looking cover sheet, explaining that 50 marks were available and that all answers should be filled in using black ink, etc. As it happens, the girl performed admirably, ending with a thoroughly respectable score of 87 percent (43.5 out of 50).

Here's what the girlfriend tweeted:

What's more, it later became clear after the results had been returned that an insufficient total pass percentage would have resulted in the relationship being terminated! "Well done Saskia. As a result I will not be dumping you! (lucky you)," her assessment page read.

Her boyfriend did include a bit of constructive criticism, instructing her to focus more intently on learning all player positions, fully appreciating Alexis Sanchez's brilliance and, of course, the fundamental fact that "Tottenham are scum."

Good thing Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger didn't pose any questions to the girlfriend!
