Wojciech Szczesny has decided to stop using Twitter to concentrate on helping Arsenal to trophies.

The Gunners goalkeeper could not stop his side suffering their defeat in the Barclays Premier League on Sunday when they lost to Manchester United.

Szczesny also found himself in hot water earlier this month when he joked that his team-mate Aaron Ramsey looked ‘like a rapist' in a golf outfit.

But Szczesny has now decided to quit the social networking site.

He wrote: 'Its just about time for me to grow up, delete twitter and focus on football! Thanks for all the support I have received here.'

Two weeks ago, Szczesny, 21, reacted to a picture posted by Ramsey by joking that his midfield colleague looked ‘like a rapist’.

Szczesny, who deleted the original tweet, said: ‘I’m sorry if anyone was offended by my previous tweets. There are some thing (sic) we should not joke about and I have crossed the line. Sorry!’

His controversial tweet had said: ‘I don’t wanna be rude mate but you look like a rapist on that picture! lol.’ He followed up with: ‘Looking like a rapist/pedofile (sic) isn’t a good thing either ;).’

Ramsey had taken the comments as light-hearted, replying: ‘Jealousy is not a good thing mate. I try my best mate we’re not all blessed with a good fashion sense like you.’

Tweets


Arsenal warned Szczesny about his responsibilities when using social media.

Ramsey had posted a picture of himself wearing a tank top as he prepared for a round of golf after the win over Leeds.
