I'd play him in the FA Cup final ahead of Calamity Chesney because Chesney is odds on to turn up with that cocky arrogant fucking smile on his face and drop a clanger like he did against Brum. Accepted, Kos was partly to blame for that too, but Chesney had that cocky smile on him all that day, and was the bigger culprit in that a keeper should control his box and his defenders. Over a season, Chesney is the better keeper, there is no doubt about that, but in a one-off big game like a cup final Chesney is prone to something really stupid. I'd give the berth to Flappy and then wish him well on his way in June. Flappy has done well in the cup and his confidence must be high, but whereas Chesney loses the plot with arrogance when his confidence is high, Flappy seems to be able to control it.
Chesney should be no more than back up to a better keeper IMHO. Another position that Wenger hasn't invested in properly.
ive always thought Flappy was decent enough keeper,im pleased hes shown that in the cup run,its easy to slate a player that you only have fleeting glimpses of especially a keeper,we all thought Mannone was dire but look at him now,hes a shinnig light in a dog turd sandwaich of a season for sunderland,that goes to show what a decent run does for your confidence,the other thing is show me a club that has two world class keepers,no world class keeper plays back up,Flappy is a good choice and should be given a longer run in the team to give Sir Chez some competition,fuck knows he needs it,that stupiud fucking grin he does,even more annoying is that he does it when he lets a goal in
Hmmm, he's been decent enough in the cup run but his flap against liverpool could and should have made it 2-2.
On Saturday he went walkies on one occasion and was lucky we had covering defenders and then guessed right and saved 2 penalties which were poorly taken.
Not knocking the bloke because he has done ok generally but even Almunia could save penalties.
Why don't we go the whole hog, as well as playing a player who is fucking off soon why not make him captain for the day also.... Although it wouldn't surprise me if Wenger did!
