Nicknames and alternate references
With the new season on the doorstep, I thought I would start this thread to gather all the nicknames we like to throw out during gamethreads and such.
I don't confess to know many but I think that is why we should do this so everyone knows who we are talking about.
I've taken the liberty of suggesting a few of my own.
Feel free to add new nicknames or ones that I have missed in the comment section and I'll add them if it can be agreed upon or I just forgot it.
numerical order
1. Manuel Almunia (aluminum, ...)
2. Abou Diaby (...)
3. Bacary Sagna (Bacy, Dreads...)
5. Thomas Vermaelen (I saw VerMAULen in a thread and rather liked it,...)
6. Laurent Koscielny (Kos, ...)
7. Thomas Rosicky (sicky, tommy, little prince,...)
8. Samir Nasri (C**t, Nana, Na$ri ...)
10. Robin van Persie (RvP, ...)
11. Carlos Vela (Chiparito, Chippy, Mexicutioner,...)
13. Wojiech Szczesny (Iceman (you can't tell me he doesn't look like Val Kilmer in Top Gun), Szcz, ...)
14. Theo Walcott (unlucky Theo, ...)
15. Alex Oxlande-Chamberlain (AO-C, Theo lite, ...)
16. Aaron Ramsey (PoW or Prince of Wales, Rambo...)
17. Alex Song (...)
18. Sebastian Squilaci (Oh God not him, Squil, ...)
19. Jack Wilshere (Jack,...)
20. Johan Djourou (Kangaroo, (I think I saw somewhere) ...)
21. Lukasz Fabianski (Flappyhandski, flappy hands, fabs...)
23. Andrey Arshavin (Arsh, Drey, little Russian, Meerkat ...)
24. Vito Mannone (...)
25. Carl Jenkinson (Leroy,...)
26. Emmanuel Frimpong (Deench?,...)
27. Gervinho (Dreads 2.0, ...)
28. Kierran Gibbs (Gibbs, metatarsals)

couple more:
Aluminum is pretty common for Almunia.
Fabianski is often referred to as Flaps, Flappy Hands, Fab or Fabs.
Some of these names are so hard to spell, especially in a fast moving game thread, that it’s easier to use initials: WS, TR, NB, JD, etc.
Andrei Arshavin is The Meerkat.
Captain, there are doubt's...

Fabianski is most commonly nicknamed Flappyhandski
