Top 5 Arsenal Viral Videos of the 2012-13 Season

Arsenal Football Club has an extraordinary online following. Few clubs provoke more online expressions of dedication, debate or doom-mongering.

Given that the Gunners have a huge fanbase with increasing access to video editing tools, it was inevitable that some of this season's most memorable moments would arrive in the form of viral videos.

Here are the top five Arsenal viral videos of the 2012-13 season, assessed not just on the number of views they've accumulated, but also the amount of entertainment and laughs they've brought to Arsenal fans over the season. 

5. 'One Day More': Transfer Deadline Day Remix Ft. Arsene Wenger

Back in January, the Les Miserables movie was taking the box office by storm. In the football world, all the talk was of the transfer window.

I decided to combine those ideas and produce the above operatic ode to the Premier League's wheeling and dealing.

In this video, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger joins an ensemble of Premier League stars, including Harry Redknapp and Marouane Fellaini, to sing a new version of the musical's core theme: "One Day More."

4. Arsenal FIFA 13 Tournament

When Arsenal players aren't out on the field, they exercise their competitive instinct in the virtual world of FIFA 13.

In this video, Emmanuel Frimpong, Lukas Podolski, Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain do battle in a four-way tournament to crown one of them as Arsenal's greatest gamer.

Their banter and battling makes for a thoroughly entertaining watch. Distressingly for Arsenal fans, midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain chooses to compete as Chelsea.

3. Santi Cazorla: Out of This World

Watching Santi Cazorla has been one of the real pleasures of the 2012-13 season.

This video, put together by the talented Culann Davies, allows Arsenal fans to look back over the Spaniard's spectacular season in style.

Cazorla was voted as Arsenal's official Player of the Season. This video eloquently demonstrates why.

2. Arsene Wenger: 'We Have Signed Messi Already'

The transfer window is now open, and Arsenal supporters everywhere are hoping for good news.

In this video, Arsene Wenger is urged by a fan to sign Barcelona's talisman and the world's best footballer, Lionel Messi.

Clearly tickled by the idea, Wenger answers affirmatively. However, I wouldn't advise getting your hopes up about Messi arriving at the Emirates any time soon: This is just an example of Wenger's dry sense of humour.

1. Arsene Wenger vs. the Zip

Arsene Wenger has faced many dangerous foes in his career. He has battled with the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho.

In 2012-13, he met his match.

A zip.

Assistant manager Steve Bould has been credited with helping Arsene Wenger solve Arsenal's defensive troubles, but he was powerless to help Wenger close up his coat.

Even those Arsenal fans who revere Wenger will see the funny side of this video.
