One pessimistic West Ham United fan decided to tempt fate by making a rather bold statement on twitter on the morning of his team's trip to The Emirates stadium.
On Saturday, August 8th 2015, a date he will remember forever, a Hammers fan known as Waller decided to offer the football Gods his left arse cheek as a sacrifice for a West Ham win.
If West Ham beat arsenal today I WILL get the score line and date tattoo'd on me

He wish was granted, and he let his followers know that it wasn't just a joke.

And then came the photo evidence. He never mentioned the arse region in previous tweets, but we're guessing when it came down to a decision, the ridiculousness took over:
He actually went and got it??? #AFCvWHU ##WHUFC #WHU @waller_whu pic.twitter.com/p3GRj7RCND

That's... Really on there.
The scorers and the minute of their goals were a nice touch, but was that permanent memento worth three points at the start of the season?
He looks happy anyway.
