Okay. This is not actually a new feature here. I'm sorry to disappoint, that probably would be really cool.
Trivia, however, is a new feature available on each Arsenal player's profile on the team's official Web site. Without further ado, here are some of the stranger things we have found about our favorite boys in red and white.
1. Manuel Almunia met his wife in an Irish pub.
2. Abou Diaby's first name is Vassiriki.
3. Bacary Sagna is the best chess player on the team.
4. Cesc Fabregas can't stand mushrooms.
5. Thomas Vermaelen was good at math in school.
6. Laurent Koscielny might not have filled out the questionnaire yet, since he only has career stuff listed.
7. Tomas Rosicky once sang "Eye of the Tiger" on a bet. The site doesn't say where.
8. Samir Nasri likes going to the ballet.
10. Robin van Persie is a fan of Phil Collins.
11. Carlos Vela first trained with Arsenal in 2005. I don't think he filled this section either.
14. Theo Walcott has a dog named Diesel.
15. Denilson likes bowling.
16. Aaron Ramsey first car was a Ford Fiesta.
17. Alex Song's favorite film is Romeo Must Die.
18. Sebastien Squillaci doesn't have a trivia section on the site yet. But, on Wikipedia, he's wearing a Yankees hat in the picture there. So, yeah, I'm going with that. Yankees fan.
19. Jack Wilshere made his England debut the same night as Kieran Gibbs. Why is that listed? That was like three weeks ago.
20. Johan Djourou is always hurt. Just kidding, it doesn't say that. It does say that he broke his jaw just before joining Arsenal, though.
21. Lukasz Fabianski's boyhood hero was Michael Jackson. Probably not the Michael Jackson that made over 200 appearances for Preston North End in the late '90s and early '00s and retired in January.
22. Gael Clichy heart stopped for 20 seconds during an operation when he was 15.
23. Andrei Arshavin has a degree in fashion design. Also, he's written three books, including 555 Questions and Answers on Women, Money, Politics and Football. I absolutely have to read that book.
24. Vito Mannone favorite music artist is Akon.
27. Emmanuel Eboue once wore a tiger costume to an Arsenal players' party. There's a great anecdote about him scaring the bejesus out of Adebayor in that costume at that party. You should look for it. Actually, that's it.
28. Kieran Gibbs childhood heroes were Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright. Good kid.
29. Marouane Chamakh has spiky hair. You probably knew that already, but it doesn't look like he's been able to fill out the trivia questionnaire either.
30. Armand Traore gave up football at the age of 11 to become a kick-boxer. This clearly worked out for him.
52. Nicklas Bendtner star sign is Capricorn. I'm going to assume that this is actually the first thing he wrote on the questionnaire.
53. Wojciech Szczesny was roommates with Fabianski at Legia Warsaw.
