On 13 March 2013, Szczęsny was dropped from the Arsenal team to play Bayern Munich in the Champions League.[33] In Arsenal's next Premier League match, against Swansea City, Szczęsny returned to the Arsenal squad but was named only as a substitute, with Łukasz Fabiański selected to start in goal by Arsène Wenger.[citation needed]
On 20 April 2013, Szczęsny returned to the team in a Premier League match at home to Everton due to a rib injury sustained by Fabiański.[34] In his first two matches back in the Arsenal goal, he kept consecutive clean sheets against Everton and Fulham respectively.[citation needed]
Szczesny to Start As Fans Turn Against Almunia
Szczęsny played for Poland's under-21 team and started in three 2011 European Championship qualifying matches. He was also placed on stand-by for the Polish senior team by manager Leo Beenhakker for the team's World Cup qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Slovenia in early September 2009. Since none of Poland's top three goalkeepers dropped out, however, he was not called up and instead played the U-21 qualifiers against Spain and Finland. He has a total of six caps for the U-21 squad.[citation needed]
115. Emmanuel AdebayorSigned from Monaco in the 05/06 winter transfer window, the Togolese scored on his Premier League debut against Birmingham City. Following the departure of Theirry Henry in 2007, Adebayor was the target man as he netted 30 goals in the 07/08 season.Then came the other side: His on-field fight with teammate Nicklas Bendtner and his push to move to bigger European teams. At the start of the 09/10 season, he was sold to Manchester City. The first match with his former club saw Adebayor kick van Persie on the face, slap Alex Song, and famously run across the pitch to celebrate in front of the traveling Arsenal fans. After a season he fell down the pecking order and was loaned to Real Madrid in the winter transfer window of 10/11. He signed up with Spurs in 2011 and his career went downhill. Adebayor currently plays for Olimpia Asuncion in the Paraguayan league.Arsenal fans hate him and clearly the feeling continues to remain mutual. Then there is this rant against his own family.
The technically-gifted player spent three good seasons in London and then his relationship with fans broke down following a transfer saga at the start of 11/12 season. Since his move to Manchester City, Nasri had been a constant target for the fans and his dig at his former club widened the chasm.
In 2008 his work permit came through and Vela scored a hattrick in his first start in the League Cup tie against Sheffield United. With limited starts in the league, Vela joined West Bromwich Alboin on loan in the winter of 2010.
Eastmond made a promising start in his senior team debut against Liverpool in a 09/10 League Cup tie. The versatile layer was also deployed at right-back on occasion. Unfortunately, his Champions League debut against Shakhtar Donetsk was a forgettable affair as he scored an own goal.
