Arsenal Fans Have The Defining Twitter Conversation Of 2015 Arguing Over Player's Age

Fans watch in the rain as Arsenal players celebrate with the trophy outside the Emirates Stadium during the Arsenal victory parade in London on May 31, 2015, following their win in the English FA Cup final football match on May 30, 2014 against Aston Villa. Arsene Wenger's side made history at Wembley with a 4-0 rout of Aston Villa that underlined their renaissance in the second half of the campaign and served as a warning to English champions Chelsea.

The European summer soccer transfer season is barely underway but the rumors are flying fast and furious. Arsenal is strongly linked to FC Porto striker Jackson Martinez. The 28-year-old Colombian is a proven scorer in both the Portuguese league and Champions League. By most accounts he’d be a good fit at the Emirates Stadium.

Oh wait, because this is the Internet, amazingly his age became a debate via a wonderfully weird Twitter conversation by two Arsenal supporters. Per most search results Martinez’s birthday is listed as Oct. 3, 1986, which makes him 28. OR DOES IT? Read along:

What a time to be alive.
