“How to lose friends & Alienate people”, by Jens Lehmann

2 guns September 10th, 2007

Jens Lehmann is one of the most unpopular players in the history of the Premiership. Despised by opposition fans up and down the country, his angst and antics have irritated and infuriated across Europe. However, like so many of football’s infamous figures, he has always had plenty of support from his home crowd.

Roy Keane was a legend at Manchester United. Dennis Wise was idolised at Stamford Bridge. And there are probably people at Blackburn who have some degree of affection for Robbie Savage, however unlikely that sounds. At Arsenal, with the world and his wife ganging up to launch abuse at Lehmann, we’ve taken him to our hearts.

We’ve all chuckled at his bizarre warm-ups, his hilarious time-wasting and fractious temper. And indeed, he’s been an outstanding goalkeeper, making agile saves that belie his status as the club’s eldest player.

But this season, Time seems to have finally caught up with Jens. Although he has always been partial to a rash moment here or there, the opening two games of the Premier League season saw him make two massive errors that gifted goals to both Fulham and Blackburn. After another error-strewn display for Germany at Wembley, Lehmann was declared “injured”, and Manuel Almunia stepped in for the next three games.

I’m sure Lehmann did have a fitness problem of some description. However, arseblog confirmed that he did not, as Arsene claimed, return to Germany for treatment. He was in London, yet taking no part in training. I remain certain that Lehmann was no more “injured” than Thierry Henry during his lay-off last year. Arsene has said in the past:

“I always try to support my players to the world outside the club. It doesn’t mean I always agree with them. Outside, you have to keep a united front. To the world outside you can say you have seen a bad performance, but you don’t say, ‘The right-back was a complete failure’. I am responsible. I pick him. I have to stand up for that. You have to hold your nerve.”

For “right-back”, read “goalkeeper”.

In Lehmann’s absence, Almunia has done well, only being beaten by a fluke goal from Kanu. The Spaniard has improved immeasurably over the past two years, and after Lehmann’s mistakes, deserves a chance as Number 1.

However, this week, Germany manager Joachim Low has ignored Lehmann’s “injury” and picked the fiery keeper. Lehmann, who is quick to criticise the press but even quicker to use it to get a point across, has been speaking about the competition from Almunia:

“I am without a doubt mentally the strongest player at Arsenal because I have more experience. There will always be a keeper who will play better for two or three matches but I have never seen anyone do this for 10 games. I know that I have an advantage at Arsenal and that I can keep it. I don’t see any young supermen keeping me out. I have read that Almunia said he deserves to be the No.1 but until now he has not won a single important game.”

I cannot tell you how sick it makes me feel to see one squad member criticise another in public. I didn’t like Niklas Bendtner’s outburst at not being on the bench against Porsmouth, but at least he had the sense not to criticise those picked ahead of him.

Almunia might not be an internationally-recognised goalkeeper like Lehmann, but then again, he hasn’t made a mistake as big of either of Lehmann’s recent efforts for a very long time. In a season where the focus has been on our excellent team spirit, Lehmann’s antagonism towards Almunia could prove extremely unhelpful. I’m all for competition, but not causticity. If Jens had any chance of playing of White Hart Lane on Saturday, that may now have gone.

Arsene Wenger has been talking about the difficulty of controlling his “dark-side”:

“Is it anger, is it aggression, or is it a desire to be successful? Would I compromise my principles? On occasions, yes, as first and foremost, I am a winner.  Where does the anger come from? My father and my mother were both quite excitable, but the postwar world in which they lived was quite a rough world. The football world is also quite rough. You have to assert your personality and you need a high level of motivation.   I was always concerned about dominating my animal feeling.

You can sometimes be surprised by your bad side. I have a dark side. You want to win so much that sometimes you forget that it is as well that you respect the rules. When you don’t win, you have to acknowledge the respect of your opponents as well. Sometimes I can’t do that. It is a dark side because the perfect side would be to say, ‘Well done. You played better’. You never know, in 50 years I might achieve it.”

Scary, eh?  Hopefully Hill-Wood Kenobi can help Wenger control his evil urges and keep him out of the clutches of Darth Dein, whose orange face can be seen glowing from underneath his hood even on the darkest nights.

Finally, the wonderful Gilberto Silva has been talking about Saturday’s North London Derby:

“I am not worried by Jol’s situation. That’s Tottenham’s problem and it’s logical that we want to make Tottenham suffer more.  If Jol is sacked because of an Arsenal win it’s not a problem to me. I can sleep calmly.”

Gilberto: I like your thinking.  Sometime-musician and wannabe-pundit Silva also gives his tactical analysis on Tottenham’s season to date:

“I notice errors in defence, less control in midfield and little success in attack.”

Spectacular.  Is that the greatest interview of all time?

Enough for today.  Ciao.

  • 10. Qobby(aka Ghanaian Gooner)  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:35 am

    I fear for Lehmann. If Almunia continues with this form, he might not be able to regain his no.1 spot. From Lehmann’s comments its pretty obvious he is not very amicable with Almunia. Dont think this sort of competition would be healthy. I still hold to my word that we should have sold him before the start of the season. The straw that broke the camels back was the draw at white hart lane last season. That was really exasperating.We could have easily won that match.

  • 11. mockster  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:37 am

    i think this kind of competition is very healthy. if you were almunia it would do even more to motivate you to keep the jersey

  • 15. steelyboy  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:39 am

    Silva is the dude - make him captain for fucks sake.

    Lehman, never liked him but respected his ability.

    Bendtner - he looks good to me and I think he does deserve his chance. He has to learn to tow the line though.

  • 16. Ash  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:42 am

    Will Gilberto make the Spurs game? With Gallas out and afew coming back tired we look abit thin. Its our first big test. With all the teams playing tough games we need to win against Spuds

  • 17. marcus  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:45 am

    Gilberto rocks as ever, great comments. He has conducted himself brilliantly in the face of not being picked as captain. Many would have got stroppy knowing that they were overlooked for captaincy. Not gilb. I expect he sat down with Prof and the Prof told him:

    “look…i could make you captain but old Bill is a liability. If I make hime captain he will feel he is more responsible and put in better performances. I know it is harsh but you will play at the top of your game whether you are captain or not.”

    Lehman is Lehman, on his day he is still better than Almunia. Like last time a stay on the bench will get him back on track.

    As for the Bendtner comment, I have read that as usual what he said was translated “badly”. He was upset that he wasn’t picked and he said he would need to have a chat with LeBoss when he got back to see why. He went on to say that the conversation would be between them and not for public consumption. There is absolutely notheing wrong with anything he said. Once the press get hold of it though it is all “AXED” and “SHOWDOWN” bollox. I have seen the “translation” on many blogs now and it is not what he said.

  • 18. (.)(.)  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:48 am

    gilbertos comments are fuckin quality!!!!

  • 19. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:49 am

    Jens’ ego must be deflating quicker than a spud title challenge. Thwe guy is lashing out coz he has been dropped and Almunia is getting it coz he’s replaced him. I can’t see Jens being picked for the game on Saturday either. Almunia doesn’t deserve to be dropped.

    Bendtner is a mouthy sod, but he’s young and a quiet word from Wenger should sort that out. All this shite about the hammers is just that; shite!

    Gilberto is a legend! Wherever he plays this weekend, you know he’ll be up for it and give his all. Hope it’s in midfield and that gallas is back.

    Top analysis of the spud predicament.

  • 20. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:51 am

    Gilberto is Arsenal through and through. As tempting as £10 million is, we don’t really need the money do we ? The guy is versatile and brings an air of calm and assurance to the team. He is great at defending set pieces and makes the midfield tick. With only four experiences players in the side we need him to help provide a stable platform for the plethora of talent we have in reserve.

    He is always willing to speak out with generally balanced and encouraging comments (i did love that Spurs piece about Jol) about the team and is the model pro.

    Lehmann on the other hand is bit weird but we all know that. It’s not the first time he’s had a pop at Almunia and their dislike of each other - instigated by Jens - has been well documented. Almunia has always been a good shot stopper and has performed very well in the last few games. Maybe I am just sceptical but I am not sure he is the long term answer and has anyone seen Fabianski ? Is he any good ?

    Personally I would have been happy to se us spend big on a proven keeper of the highest standard. A good keeper can earn you 10 points a season. Looking at the performances of Craig Gordon I think we missed out on a very good playa.

    That piece in the Times ws a good read …

    Nice post GS in another shite news week. I hate internationals.

  • 21. enki  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:52 am

    so if the conversation was to be private surely he would not need to tell the press about it. bendtner is being a silly boy if he think that wenger have to sit down with him to explain his reason for not picking him. for god sake he did not even explained to gilberto about the captaincy. this is not chelsea where you can bypass the manager and go to the owner so i think bendtner should think twice about antagonising the boss.

  • 22. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:54 am

    Nope. I disagree MARCUS. Myself. LD and Respects last summer all made a prediction that Bendtenr was trouble and he’s already started his shit. Lehmann? I reckon he’s a better keeper than Almunia. He defo has more technical ability but Almunia does the simple stuff much better and that’s what we need. Jens gets bored and complicates shit for himself and the team unecessarily. Temperament all wrong. Just look at every corner he has to defend. Prediction for you from a good source: Arsene Wenger will make a bid for Barca’s Geovani Dos Santos in January. His buy-out clause is 20 million Euro.. He is only 18. He is the next Ronaldinho. His contract is up next year. He is a typical Wenger player: not a goal-hanger. Technically strong, really fast, quick, can use both feet and play anywhere across the front-line. He has an EU passport and costs the same at Theo.

    Watch this space…

  • 23. enki  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:57 am

    i doubt very much dos santos is going to leave barca when he is already a first team player. Arsenal will certainly not offer him more money than barca and this stink of the same ploy use by ronaldihno to get a new improve contract from barca. serve them well but he is not coming here.

  • 24. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 11:58 am

    GH: Sorry to disappoint but Fabianski is toilet. There’s a reason he’s third-choice behind Kuzcak in Poland. I agree withy ou Craig Gordon is an excellent keeper though not at 9 million. For me there are three players Arsene and Arsenal really missed a trick on: Akinfeev (who I think we should do everything to sign), Ribery and Sneijder. Anyone see Sneijder’s goal for Holland? Fuck me is he good. Score from miles out on the regular. Akinfeev in summer, Dos Santos in January.

    Micah Richards over the next summer and I will cream my pants for days on end. Richards was sick for England. Ill-matic….

  • 25. enki  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

    however if dos santos countinue to be as good as he is then barca may be willing to let ronaldihno go for a huge sum. probably to milan to replace kaka who will be in madrid sooner or later. plus do we need another youngster who might fail to adapted to the prem. at 20mil that a huge risk

  • 26. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:02 pm

    Fact: if the Spuds lose at home to us lot, Jol will have his P45 handed to him on a plastic plate three minutes after the final whistle. I am so angry I ain’t got tickets to see that one. And it ain’t even on Sky or Setanta. Geekov you’re going ani’t ya? Got any spares? PLEEEEEASE?!

  • 27. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

    I think there’s more chance of Ronaldinho and Henry leaving than Dos Santos!

    I wouldn’t be too quick to jump on bendtner’s back just yet. In this age of conastant, instant news feeds, weblogs, newsnow, etc it doesn’t take much for a throwaway comment to make the ‘news’

    Time will tell though.

  • 28. enki  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

    sneijder is quality no doubt but if rosicky,helb and fab improve their goal tally we will be all right.

  • 32. Fab#4  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:10 pm

    For me Jens is a better keeper than Almunia. I’m not saying almunia aint good at all, he has improved drastically since the infamous 4-2 loss to manutd in highbury 2-3 seasons ago, but i dont think he can lead us through out the season.

    Jens’ mistakes were dreadful but how can u guys forget the matches last season when our team especially the defence were a nightmare and it was jen’s experience that saved our ass somany times. He is a great leader, a great man and i hope he makes the line-up somtime soon.

    However it goes without saying that lehmann’s comment was untimely and unnecessary. No matter how superior u are, u should never speak against your teammate especially now that the team is in great harmony and progress.

  • 33. Fab#4  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:11 pm

    Gilberto has proved over and over again that he is a gunner all through and i have to question wenger’s intent from not captaining him after doing so well last season in henry’s absence.

  • 34. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:12 pm

    24. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth

    Yeah I generally agree with you.

    Akinfeev - yes from what I have seen but not seen the guy week in week out

    Gordon - Expensive but good,check out his performances. All British players carry a huge premium hence AW not wanting to pay over inflated prices

    Ribery - Reckon he would have come but gain I don’t think AW wanted to pay that much

    Sneijder - yes good playa and has been cocsistent but is he better than what we have - where would we play him. What about the other huge pool of midfielders we have ?

    Dos Santos - Not sure AW will pull that off, what about the Bojan ?

    Richards - Has really impressed me but how much do you reckon he will cost ? £20-30 million ?

    We do need a few reinforcements though. I would give Almunia a chance but a top keeper would be good. An experienced centre half, a pacy winger and an old poacher a la Klose would be very welcome. Am already wondering what if anything January will bring us.

  • 35. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:13 pm

    Enki I see what u mean but I disagree. I’ve followed Dos Santos ever since he and Vela tore up the under-17s and I think he would be a fabulous addition. He is a Ronaldinho in the making and he has goals in him most importantly. But I think u may be right in claiming that Barca would probs rather sell Ronaldinho to make space for Dos Santos. Only one prolbem with that: he signed a contract when he was under 18. So if we pay the £12 million and a bit quid, he is ours and there is nothing Barca can do about it.

  • 36. mockster  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:14 pm

  • 40. enki  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:18 pm

    the fact that gilberto is arsenal through and through is probably why he is not captain. wenger feels that he will give his all no matter what. i doubt you can say the same about billy.

  • 41. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:19 pm

    re: Bendtner he does seem like trouble but I still say he is going to turn into a good playa. I just hope he knuckles down and forces his way into the side. I want him to suceed but what we don’t need is a prima donna in the dressing room.

  • 42. Samuel  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

    Morning all.

    Dos Santos ain’t leaving, and if he does it’s for either Milan or Chelsea (i’ve been hearing rumours involving Chelsea, not us).

    Although I am a little worried by Bendtner, I don’t think his comments are akin to throwing all the toys out of his pram - he is just saying that he wants the chance to play. He had a talk with Arsene and we know they usually bring a smile and a need to prove themselves for a player.

    No-one has seen Fabianski play, don’t call him shit. Almunia has been alright so far - I have no problem him manning our goal for the next year.

    I hate not having the internet and checking it once a week at uni. By next time I check it I really expect someone to have started a “FANS AGAINST DEIN” petition.

    Those Eduardo goals were crackin’, yeah?

    Now I must go, have a job interview at Starbucks. Must go suck the corporate cock.

  • 43. davey b  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

    Jens lehmann better handling than almunia not as good a shot stopper as almunia though and his decision making is poor ,almunia is not the good on crosses but he is sensible and his shot stopping can win you games unfortunately his consistency can lose you game

    its really a pick em type scenario but i would plump for almunia at the moment it is his to lose after Jens antics so far ,

    neither fabianski or almunia can be any worse than Jens had been this season so what have we got to lose

    36. Arsene had no problem agreeing a potential 20 million Euro fee for young Theo Walcott. So why not do it for young Dos Santos eh?
    GH: Good points. I think though that Sneijder could have played as the most attacking member of a midfield 5. As…say a number 10. Then we could play just Eduardo on his own up top…or Ade-Fool. Problem is Ade-Fool can play fabulously as a lone man. Works hard, runs a lot. Good footballer: shit striker and awful finisher. Awful. Ribry expensive I agree but needed. Also agree with you on Richards. Now that fascist international Thai murderer is in charge over there IF they ever sell, it’d be for 25 mil or sthg stupid like that. I really like Richards though. He’d add so much to our back-line and he is incredibly dominant in the AIR. Which is EXACTLY what we need!
    Like I said. Lehmann is the better keeper we all know that. But Almunia does the simple things better. While Jens can do the hardest technical things (e.g. Old Trafford Solsjaer save) bu cannot even catch a corner without conceding a pen. starting a fight. He don’t even seem to wanna fight for his place. The fact he talks as if it’s his God-given right to be no1 only means he’ll be on the bench again come Saturday. If we ain’t impressed then AW certainly won’t be. And I love AW more than I do Jens sorry….

Hate Starbucks…good lluck licking corporate balls though! I watched Fabianski play live 3 times (my g-f is Polish) back in Warsaw and all 3 times he was dreadful. Thi is what I’m basing my opinion on.

    GH: I also said last summer although he’s a cock Nicklas Bendtner is a fucking talented cock, and this team needs him. He is basically capable of all the things Ade-Fool can do plus one: he is an excellent finisher and striker who scores goals consistently when in simple positions. Somethin Ade will never do.

    there’s plenty of players that have been omitted from there national team squad it doesnt mean if they are not selected in the team or the squad that they are poor players ,

    i dont think Diaby was selected for France ,so i dont see how you can make a judgement on fabinski it means nothing that he is 3rd choice for his country ,there are many keepers under the age of 22 playing every week in there national side

  • 51. enki  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:31 pm

  • 52. El Tommo  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:32 pm

    Of course Lehman is mentalist and he hasn’t improved in that respect. He is fast becoming a liability and should have been sold already. He must now be sold in January and a new No. 1 bought to replace him. As for Almunia - well sorry but there is no way that he is of the quality we need in goal. Sure, give him his chance between now and January - if he proves me wrong, great! If not, well it’s back down to No.2 or off you go son. Lehman hates Almunia - everyone knows that, and his latest comments are quite unacceptable.

    i also saw Gallas in trainning at claire fontaine with the french team this morning. he might be available for saturday.

He is basically capable of all the things Ade-Fool can do plus one: he is an excellent finisher and striker who scores goals consistently when in simple positions. Somethin Ade will never do.

    you know nothing about fabianski or bendtner yet you feel you are equipt to pass judgment on fabianski as toilet and bendtner as a good player who is an excellent player,well let me enlighten you

    bendtner scored 11 goasl in 42 appearences for birmingham ,hardly the mark of a great finisher is it

    i wish everybody would stop overhyping this kid ,what has he done to warrant it, nothing

    City have offered Micah Richards a new deal. Has he signed it yet? If so, that’ll mean we either aint getting him, or will have to pay twice as much.

    Almunia has looked a lot more solid this season. He hasn’t exactly been tested much yet though.

  • 57. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:41 pm

    davey b; can you repeat that please, I missed it the first 17 times.

  • 58. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:43 pm

    Davey b; How many times did you see bendtner play for Brum?

    Just by going on his scoring, sure it don’t look too rosey!

    But, having spoke to Brum fans who’d watched him week in, they seem to think he’s a star in the making, so what does that prove?

    Not my opinion, but those of people who’ve seen loads of the lad.

    47. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth

    Yep we’re on the same page. Agreed about Bendtner. Footballers need a bit of self belief sometimes that spills over to arrogance but if he performs sobeit. Ade isn’t my favourite footballer but he is committed and I am 100% behind him but again I am not sure he has another level to step up to. I have always said I would love nothing more than for him to proove me wrong but there you have it - it’s all opinion.

    Still Say Sneijder is surplus to requirements and re; Ribery yes I would have loved to have him in the squad but he would be a 17 mil squad player. Is he that much better than Rosicky and Hleb. No doubt he is different as he is a proper winger but I reckon we could get a cheaper alternative and I have high hopes for Merida who I think can do a job on the left although he is not the pacy winger we want maybe we’ll just play a different and as effective way.

    Yep we’re all in agreement theat Jens is the bettter keeper but his concentration is shot - sad a bit like seeing Seaman get shit. Gonna have to let you tell me how shit Fabianski is as I have seen about 20 mins of him in a preseason friendly. Not enough to make a judgement but he wasn’t all that inspiring … We have a couple of Polish keepers now - what’s the dealio AW ?

    Starbucks and all the other coffee chains can suck my Gooner (TM) cock.

    46. ethangoon - Fabregas. I suggest you spell his name correctly if you want people to visit your blog. Good luck though youhave stiff competition from GB Arseblog and Goodplaya

  • 60. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:45 pm

    No one is hyping him as far as I can tell. They have made opinions on what they’ve seen. Evbery time he has played, he has looked raw as hell, but has given us an option and has been a goal threat, causing havoc in the opposition box. That’ll do for starters!

    He needs to be patient though and he will get a chance. And he can only improve.

    Davey Brainless, please be quiet. You’re very good at talking nonsense aren’t you? I said Fabianksi is THIRD CHOICE for Poland. Whoever mentioned him NOT being selected for his national squad? Actually, he is - as THIRD choice. Do they not teach you to count at playskool?

  • 62. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    Geekov thank you for someone with a working brain.
    So using your ‘logic’ Davey-brainless…you reckon I ‘know nothing’ about Bendtner or Fabianki (even though I’ve no doubt seen him play more times than you have)….but then again. Brum fans watched Bendtneer the whole of last season and they reckon for the most part he’s the dog’s testies. How much of that humble pie do you want now boy?

  • 63. davey b  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    he has not looked brilliant to me when Ive seen him play infact his first touch has been poor and he has changed a one on one miles wide in one of the games he played in ,im not saying hes not talented im pointing out that we have all seen so little of him yet some seem to think hes the daddy when he has proved nothing to arsenal so far i aint saying he wont but why is someone slagging fabianski when they have seen nothing of him and lording bendtner

  • 64. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    You’ve just picked out ONE thiong and used it to smash him over the head with it, fella!

    I could point out several other moments, when he’s created chances for himself AND others, but whats the point?

  • 65. DelaneyJae  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    Bendtner came on for Denmark in the second half against Sweden and was completely invisible.. I can’t figure out this kids qualities except that he’s pretty strong in the air.

  • 66. Gunner8  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    i dont think Diaby was selected for France ,so i dont see how you can make a judgement on fabinski it means nothing that he is 3rd choice for his country ,there are many keepers under the age of 22 playing every week in there national side

    YEP THATS RIGHT YOU DO LOOK STUPID NOW DONT YOU ,LOL

  • 68. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 12:56 pm

    59. GH, good to see someone with taste! Fabianksi well I only seen him three times. He is a very agile goalie, decent shot-stopper. But he is shocking on crosses for one. His positioning is also really weak. Reeeally weak dude. He isn’ very mencaing the way Schmeichel or Seaman were. I wasn’ impressed by him and to top it all off he conceded a really soft goal the last time I saw him! Keepers is defo Arsene’s weak point. You may be right about Sneijder but I just think that any player who can score mad goals from long range like that and guarantess you 4-5 free-kicks per season is a gem. Hacked off Ribery didn’t come but you’re right about the 17 mil thing. He’s not almost 10 mil better than Sicknote now is he? Am not wholly impressed by Merida as he is quite slow but he could come good. On that I trust Wenger’s judgment over mine 100%! Bendtner is a mouthy shit and we need him to keep quiet a tad. Think AW should be his usual chilled self. But if he steps outta line more than 3 times: RESERVES! Rough treatment! Maybe that backfires though? Ade-Fool. Good player, shit striker. Terrible finisher and though Myles Palmer is a fucking cunt he was right about one thing: Adebayor won’t improve. He Can’t improve or get any better than he is now. He will never learn to be a deadly finisher. Sucks but its true.

    I’m a lurker from time to time, never a poster. Sorry for my mistakes. I hope you will undersant the context of my post.
    Looking at Fabianski’s transfer from your perspective I would not call the guy a toilet. I don’t belive Wenger is as stupid man as somebody who can pay two million pounds for some s**t. I’m sure he has the proven couch for a goalies who gave him proper advise regarding Fabianski.Not long time ago, Fabianski could go on loan contract to the club from Primiera Division. If I’m not mistaken Wenger answered that there’s no way becouse he needs Lukasz to learn and play for Arsenal . On the other hand Fabianski is a great person who said that must have some patience. He knows very well what is he fighting for.
    Is he a third choice? I don’t know. With no doubt number one for a Polish National team is Artur Boruc. You must remember , that two years ago Artur was unknown keeper from the same Legia Warsaw club. Celtic bought him as the replacement for about six hundred pounds.Now, you must agree that Boruc is a top class goalie. What if Wenger was right, and for a not big money has bought the keeper who in a few months will be excellent, first choice for Arsenal? Who knows, maybe that was pure class business? Give them a chance. I don’t belive this transfer was a mistake.
    Why Fabianski is a second or third choice for a NT? Which choice he should be if we have Boruc and Fabianski is not a regular player? Debate, that he’s only second or third is not fair.
    I’d like to remind you that the coach of the Polish team is Leo Beenhaker who must have some reasons to call for Lukasz.

    Well in my opinion ther is one and only one player from the first team squad who would be of benefit to us and that is Joe Cole.

    Lehman is just full of shite! DD creator of whatsoever : I’d rather send a player to “reserves” like lehman, who’s talking shit about Almunia, just because he can’t accept the fact that he took his place for now. As for Brendtner, you shouldn’t beleive all the bollocks written on every gunners blogs. Brendtner said he was disapointed. Who wouldn’t be? I find it natural, and, even better, it shows the kid is starving! He never said anything bad about any team-mate or about Le Boss.

    Oh! And, to finish, I just can’t stop from wishing Eduardo becomes first choice! A pair with RVP would be great! This Brazilian-croatian has it all! The question is not if he’s talented, but when will he explode?

    We shouldn’t be too harsh on the young dane. You know how sometimes your words can be tough when you’re disapointed. The most important for me is that he loves the club and that he respects the other players.

  • 90. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 2:04 pm

    Maybe he just wants to find out what he needs to do to improve ? Naive maybe but could his words be open to interpretation ? I know Billy G said a few things which were taken out of context by the press.

    Does everyone think that Bendtner has I poor touch ? I have seen numerous reserve goals which seem to indicate the oppostie and he took a few balls over his shoulder at Fulham and killed them instantly. Maybe I just want to believe he’ll be the next big thing too much but I really see something in the guy

    I accused you of writing bollox, which it proved to be (like most of your comments) and you called me a pussy… …ever since then I have thought very little of you or your aggresive opinions.

    The other day I insulted you primarily because when I see you name I think of the first thing you wrote directed at me which was calling me a pussy… …so don’t go on about what I wrote on Saturday.

    ey I agree with you that Akinfeev is probably the best Russian keeper since Yashin. Outstanding. Awesome. I think he would do just the trick for us. Kidnapping? I’ll drive the van if you wear the balaclava!
    FrenchGun you could well be right. I agree with GH in so much that I rate Bendtner. I really think the boy is class and he has something Ade-Fool will never have: deadly finishing. But only time will tell if his ego don’t get in the way! Also agree with GH that this is a very good blog on the whole. Shits all over Arseblog, Arsenal-Mania etc…only a Cultured Left-Foot is a match for it.

  • 105. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 3:04 pm

    England are SHIT. Anyone who thinks that this team is even a patch on Croatia, Russia, Spain, Holland….let alone France, Brazil, Italy, Portugal is deluding themselves. Shit manager, shit infrastructure, woefully overhyped overrated players, no centre of excellence and a stupid fan-base who are dependent on Arsenal FC and a Frenchman, Arsene Wenger, on being the main person to deliver them with success! Lmfao. It’s pathetic. But I love it when En-ger-lund fans and the moron press blame Wenger 100% for us being shit. It just shows how reliant on him they are! So desperate and so shit that the nation is desperate for a Frenchman to help them become respectable again. Not his problem! Lol….Wenger’ll never manage those losers. The FA can beg, steal borrow. If AW ever left us it’d be for a proper job or retirement.

    I accused you of writing bollox, which it proved to be (like most of your comments) and you called me a pussy… …ever since then I have thought very little of you or your aggressive opinions.

    The other day I insulted you primarily because when I see you name I think of the first thing you wrote directed at me which was calling me a pussy… …so don’t go on about what I wrote on Saturday.

    well maybe you should think of the first you write then you would know what ever abuse i have administered too you is due to your abusive posts that initiate all the start of it

    BOLLOX ,is that respectful of someones opinion NO,is that abusive yes is that aggressive opinion ,

    again you fail to realise you started all the abuse mate not me ,another thing i talk so much bollox you tried to ridicule me today for not pointing out that fabianski was 3rd choice for his country ,when i had LOL

    Davey Brainless, please be quiet. You’re very good at talking nonsense aren’t you? I said Fabianksi is THIRD CHOICE for Poland. Whoever mentioned him NOT being selected for his national squad? Actually, he is - as THIRD choice. Do they not teach you to count at playskool?

  • 110. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 3:46 pm

    Yeah I remember when I actually cared what happened to England but the FA is quite simply incompetent. McClaren doesn’t have a clue and we have a load of over paid (and over weight in Frank Pie Lampard’s case) under motivated players. Knock Beckham if you want but at least the guy cared about his shirt.

    England bore me and play crap football. Much rather watch the Arse, or in fact our reserves.

  • 111. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 4:02 pm

    GH 100% in agreement but do you honestly think Becks ‘cared’ about the shirt? os I don’t by that shit. Guy is an arse-hole. Seriously. He only cared about the publicity and extra bucks he got from Gillette as captain imo! Any excuse to knock him….good player though Beckham and suppose he PLAYED committed - although not so sure he actually was. Besides like I said. I LOVE the way the whole idiotic press and fans are so reliant on us. Loving it. I love it when after eveyr shit result against a Macedonia, Germany etc….the press and fans are up in arms against Wenger! I love it. They must see what a sterling job he did with Vieira, Henry, Pires, Ljungberg, Cesc etc…and delude themselves into thinking he can do the same with Phil Neville and Fat Frank. Note: Cesc, Henry and Vieira had bundles of natural talent, skill and technical ability. Fat Frank and Neville and Crouch? You could coach those twats all day and they ‘d still be average to mediocre dross! But like I said. I love it when they get angry with Arsene. Simply shows them up. Fancy that. A whole nation and our fabulous Empire completely dependant on a FRENCHMAN to make us Great. You couldn’t make it up! They patently realize that the players Fergie and Maureen are producing won’t cut the mustard…(Scholes and Neville aside). So they’re DESPERATE for Arsene to use our world-class academy to turn the dross into world-class? Fack off!

  • 112. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 4:05 pm

    England or Arsenal = Boring one-paced, long-ball, slow and turgid football vs Speed, creativity, artistry, skill, inventiveness and attacking football? Easy choice.

    England vs Arsenal reserves? Arse reserves thanks

    England vs Canvey Island? Close one that…..

    Even rather watch the spuds play than England. At least they always guarantee you that comedy value eh? Like being 2-0 up and then fuckign it up…being 3-1 up at the chavs and fucking it up…

  • 116. FrenchGun  |  September 10th, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    Hum…. I’m not sure I totally agree with your statement. ENgland is not that bad a team. You got plenty of great individuals, but it seems they can’t play together… Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Rooney, Gerrard…. On this last name: I really rate Gerrard as one of the best midfielders in the world. This guy has class, a simple play but yet effective! Anyway, I’ll stop here before some start thinking I’m a liverpool fan, which I’m not! Gunner 4 Life!

    And if you look closely to the french team, for example. We have a coach that relies on the stars and astronomy to make his team! Mr.Domenech is just a load of shite! Under his command, we’ve had only draws or 1-0 victories! The only reason why we went to the world cup finals in 2006, and you can ask any frenchman, is because of Zidane! Henry, in the national team has always only been the shadow of what he was at arsenal.

  • 117. neilh  |  September 10th, 2007 at 4:40 pm

    Anyone know if Gilberto played for Brazil over the weekend, and if he did how long he played for. Just thinking ahead to the derby match and wondering if he’s going to be recovered enough if Dunga makes him play again in Wednesday’s friendly?

    As far as Richards goes…..he’s a class act. AW hasn’t been stockpiling these supposed transfer funds for the good of his health. Expect a big bid for Richards next summer (only signed new city deal so they can demand more for him when the time comes).

  • 118. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 4:42 pm

    Davey b when you speak of a bunch of English Championship players, did you mean the England national team or Northern Ireland? Only that I think there is hardly a difference in quality between the 2….

    Anyway enough on England. ARSENAL.
    Simmzy mate I agree. I think this is our first REAL test of the season and it will tell us much about this side. Put it this way: Spuds are desperate. Jol on the Dole if they lose this one. They will come out at home. Heated passionate raging chav classless crowd. Our every touch booed. NO HENRY to rely on (shit as he is these days). Spuds fighting for their lives and fighting to save their manager’s jobs. Fuck me. It is going to be one tough tough ask to win that but lemme tell you sthg: if we win that match, playing well as GS said: I will begin to think of us as Real Title contenders.

    adly I just cannot see it. Really really hope I am wrong.
    Those cunts want to beat us more than anything. It’s their cup final and the pinnacle of their season sad as they are.

  • 133. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:19 pm

    111. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth

    I reckon that the problem is that the team don’t actually amount to the equal of their individual parts. They don’t play to thir potential and seem stifled. Not sure if that’s a tactical issue but they don’t seem to be able to express themselves. We saw a mediocre Greek team showing us what playing as a unit can achieve. If we had a structure where the likes of Gerrard and Rooney could express themselves we wouldn’t play like horse shit. There’s no fluidity or fluency and seemingly no plan. a shame really. And FFS how many managers are going to arse lick star players and try and fit everyone in. The team is most important not egos. Nobody should be exempt from being dropped and if we want to see the best of Gerrard we can’t partner him with Lampard. Find a new system or grow some balls.

  • 134. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:23 pm

    131; Haha! Nice one.

    I think, judging by comments on here, i’m in the minority who actually watches England games and wants em to do well! maybe it’s a Jingoistic reaction, I dunno. i doubt it seeing as how I’m a full on Leftist Socialist! But when it comes to the England matches, I always watch em and get as hyped up as I do watching Arsenal.

    Which invariabkly leads to me getting stitched up by the incompetence of the players/manager/FA/etc. I think there is something inherantly wrong with the English psyche; Obnoxious, Xenophobic, lazy, apathetic, self important,etc! The fact that the media get all the sheep riled up and thinkingnthey are the best thing around, only for them to fail heroically, then get slated in the media that bigged em up the previous day! You really must have to be a masochist to be the England Manager. All the abuse you have to put up with. No wonder Scolari told em to stuff it.

    As for the England players, well, most of em seem to think they have made it, as soon as they get a contract. Then they get the flash car, mock tudor mansion and the matching WAG. They lose any humility or link to reality and believe all the shite their Agents and hangers on feed em. Their attitudes stink. Either that or they are self destructive piss and coke heads!

  • 135. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:25 pm

    Spuds away will be a tough one but if we can defend well we have enough in the last third to get goals. I would love to see Hleb playing behind the striker in this one - have a feeling he would cause the spud back line a lot of problems.

    Spot on fella - i am of a similar ilk but lost all motivation to give a shit a while ago. I would love for us to play beautiful football and challenge the best in the world but all the BS and the players we send out just make me want to cringe. The spineless performance against Northern Ireland underlined that. Arsenal give me all the football and heartache I need !

  • 139. FrenchGun  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:34 pm

    Haaaaaaa!!! I just cant’ wait for saturday to come along! Spurs are going to put all their effort in winning, but I have a good feeling about the game coming. No matter how hard they try, they’re going to break their teeth on a solid, united team. Little by little, we’re building a culture of winners! We’re already good, and we’re going to get better every game!

  • 140. Glenn Helder  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:34 pm

    Hope so Geekov I think we could do with adding a Diaby / Diarra / Denilson to the midfield. What a game for a debut if Diarra does get a shot. Personally I think Diaby would add a lot if he can get his eye in.

    Almunia

    Sagna
    Toure
    Hoyte
    Cliche

    Rosicky
    Diaby
    Flamini
    Fabregas
    Hleb

    RVP

    Or else Sagna at CB Flamini at RB and Diarra added to CM. Not sure how comfortable Sagna is at CB ?

  • 141. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    133. Totally and 100% agree with everything you just said there, nice one! And…I also like the Hleb in the hole idea. One difference though: I would start Eduardo there instead of RVP. I think RVP has been very poor so far this season. He’s not really doing much in the final third and has a pen and a tap-in so far. Not involved in team-play so much. I would NOT start with Ade-Fool for this one. We need to take our chances. If it’s 4-4-2 then I would actually go for RVP-Bendtner. Risky yes but…fuck it. ALTHOUGH to be perfectly fair Ade did score against the Spuds in the league and Carling Cup at home. So rvp-aDE IF IT’S 4-4-2. Thing is…when we’re playing only 1 up front we HAVE to play someone who willt ake their chances. When you play with 2 up top…you can afford to miss a couple. Eduardo alone up top won’t hold it up but he will take his chances. While Ade will do everything but will need six or seven chances to score! Hleb behind Eduardo for me.
    If AW goes for a 4-4-2, which is risky but which is bound to catch the spuds on the break, Bendtner-RVP I like the sound of. One thing is for certain: if you saw how SHITE the spuds were in defence vs Fulham at Craven Cottage Cheese then it’s clear we have to attackem from the off. Go at them. Kaboul, Lee, all weak. Bale is decent as is Chim-BUM-da.

    P.S: Come on Fu you loser ID-impersonator. Am still waiting for you to copy my ID and post some garbage as myself. Why still can’t figure out gold-plating yer name huh? Idiot….good luck…

  • 142. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:41 pm

    I think GALLAS is the key to this match. If fit he will get stuck in, will rally the troops and be a mean motherfucker when we have to. Apart from Gallas there’s no mean motherfuckers. Not even Diaby.

    Almunia

    CBS:
    Kolo-Gallas
    Clichy-Sagna (hopefully)

    MID:
    Gilberto defensive-mid
    Rosicky Left
    Cesc Middle
    Diarra right (WE NEED EBOUE FOR THIS GAME!!!)

    Hleb in the hole

    Eduardo up top.

    2-1 Arse! (hope)

    Right side is a problem though, seeing as boue’s injured. Meaning we’ll probs play a 4-4-2. Unless we play Walcott on the right which I personally don’t think is a good idea.

  • 143. Geekov  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    Playing Theo in this game on the right copuld well be the making of him. I know it’s completely different, but when Sol signed for us, he was getting slated in the press, then we played the spuds at their place and he was effin fantastic from then on (well up till the Hammers game that is).

  • 144. FrenchGun  |  September 10th, 2007 at 5:55 pm

    141. David Dein Creator of Heaven, Earth | September 10th, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    I hate to admit it, as I really love Rvp as a player, but he has been quite poor so far… But I still believe in his potential. He just needs to get on the trail. He showed us last year what he was capable of.

    Otherwise, I think diaby would be a good solution in midfield, as spurs are likely to play tough on us in order to win (since they can’t beat us on pure technique). Kolo-Gallas-Clichy-Sagna is the perfect defence line for me so far. Cesc well…. no need to discuss about him being lined up or not.

    I’d put Rvp and eduardo up front. It’s risky, but Dudu has a good pace and he could deliver good balls to Rvp. Rvp has the balls to take shots, and even if he’s not very succesful just yet, I respect the fact he’s taking responsabilities…

  • 147. vlcgooner  |  September 10th, 2007 at 6:12 pm

    I have a hunch that Bendtner won’t be around that long, unless he really picks up his game. I think he is LAZY on the field and arrogant off of it. Next year Vela will becoming in, and if the rumor above is too believe, Dos Santos too. Wenger will opt for speed, work rate, and touch, and I don’t think that Bendtner has those things. But this is just a hunch. I haven’t seen enough of him to know definitively.

  • 148. Frank  |  September 10th, 2007 at 6:21 pm

    Look. If Lehmann is not dropped for a few more games
    1) how will Almunia ever get motivated?
    2) how will Jens ever learn that crass errors do not really matter?
    Put him on the bench till November.

  • 149. boobie  |  September 10th, 2007 at 6:22 pm

    i dont think either galles, eboue or sagna are going to be fit for saturday. worse still gilberto played for brazil on sunday and they have another game in the usa against mexico on wednesday. at the very least he’s going to be all shagged out so our defence could be looking very weak against spurs, fuck knows who will play centre back…………?

    Arsenal are one of the best clubs in England producing English talent… …but Wenger does not look at nationality as an issue.

    just a coincidence that more french players are recruited than any other nationality since hes been here LOL

    Hi Knob end as usual you don’t read my posts in full

    I said he produces a lot more English talent than other teams (Bolton, Wigan, Birmingham) yet the Arsenal gets a lot of flak from the press about suppressing English talent.

    _____________________________________________________

    then your very next post was abusive again

    you cant even debate it the facts speak for themselves , for every walcott he will buy a baby ,its bullshit mate people say he doesnt care about nationality ,if France were nt qualify for world cups do you not think AW would start recruiting and developing more french players

    of coarse he would

    Bollox

    At the same age Diaby was streets ahead of a £12million Walcott

    You are dumber than your average Sun reader you really are

    From BBC website:

    “Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher has savoured victory over France’s Patrick Vieira before and would love to do the same again in Paris on Wednesday.

    The Manchester United star won his share of midfield battles when Vieira was at Arsenal..”

    I’m sorry.. what? I’m speachless

    THAT IS SOME HILARIOUS SHIT!

    To the muppet imitator/s grow the fark up. It’s pretty obvious you’re not who you say you are.

    I sincerely doubt that is Respects. He doesn’t post anymore.

    Anyway, let’s play Deal or No Deal.

  • 169. David Dein, Creator of Heaven, Earth  |  September 11th, 2007 at 10:47 am

    No way is that Respects. Respects can construct a basic sentence using grammar: ‘ So far davey b have been polite with me.’ A retard writing English so not RH.
