Back in January, after Wojciech Szczesny endured a difficult time in a 2-0 defeat to Southampton, the Arsenal goalkeeper's father Maciej publicly lashed out at Gunners manager Arsene Wenger and the club's defenders, blaming them for the performance of his son.

However, on the eve of tomorrow's FA Cup final between Arsenal and Aston Villa, Arsenal's current No 2 took the opportunity to bite back at his father on Facebook, refuting Maciej's comments, claims that the two have not spoken in two years and defended Wenger.

Szczesney, who has been serving as No 2 since being replaced by David Ospina in January, is vying for a starting spot at Wembley tomorrow.
