Wojciech Szczesny Hammers His Father's 'Idiotic' Comments About Arsenal

Parents, they say the darndest things.

That's what Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is surely thinking on the eve of the Gunners' second consecutive FA Cup final appearance.

Szczesny, who is expected to start the Wembley final in spite of losing the No. 1 job during the season to David Ospina, had to take to Facebook to clarify comments his father made.

The Pole's father, Maciej, who is a former goalkeeper, hit out at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger over his treatment of his son

Per TalkSport, his father hammered Wenger in an interview with Polish newspaper Przeglad Sportowy over being disloyal. He also said the smoking-in-the-shower story was overblown and blamed Per Mertesacker's defending for Szczesny's struggles, saying he had "the agility of a rhinoceros." 

As a result of the negative attention the story received, the Pole clarified things on Facebook. 

"

Really shouldn't be dealing with this one day before the cup final but my father leaves me no choice. 

I have not spoken to him in more than two years and just like everybody else I have had enough of his idiotic comments about the football club and the manager I owe so much to! 

Therefore please do not consider his comments as my shared view. 

Thank you for your understanding.
