| best. keeper. ever. |
Wojciech is badass. Anyone who can break
both arms and then come back in a couple of years to take the starting
goalkeeper spot at a top club has to be. There were noises for some time about
the maverick Pole and his abilities, but when he went on loan to Brentford in
2009 the noises were substantiated by a string of fine performances. At a time
when there was a distinct anxiety in the Arsenal back four, fueled by a lack of
confidence in our two first choice keepers and their inability/unwillingness to
communicate and organize, here was an authoritative and cocksure 19 year old
who had no problems shouting at his defense, and even less problems making
spectacular saves.
His dad took
a swing at Roberto Mancini. He’s a bit mental. He clearly enjoys defending
penalty kicks. At Brentford in his second game he saved one. In his Premier
League debut he faced Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford and put him off enough to sky the kick. Against Udinese this
season in the Champions League qualifier he saved a crucial spot kick by Antonio Di
Natale to protect our advantage and secure a position in the group stages. And
most recently after a taste of divey Suarez, he just got up and made a double save on Dirk Kuyt at Anfield to
set the tone for our defensive display, and maintain the momentum from the
thumping derby triumph in the previous match.
Speaking of the scum, he also hates simians. Better than that he just
loves Arsenal. Who can forget the Barca celebration?
Or the way he sang with the away support
at Wigan? You can overhear someone call him a legend in that Wigan clip, and
you’ll get no argument from most Gooners, even though the kid will only be 22
next month and is still just in his first season as our number one. Szczesny’s form in the first part of the
season saw him produce a world class save just about every match, and has
completely squashed the nagging calls for Wenger to dip into the transfer
market for a world class keeper. We’ve already got one. His name is Sir
Chesney.
