Lehmann, the GIANT, saves Arsenal

AGAIN

nothing new here, I know

still, even the most deluded Arsenal fans are beginning to see light where they only saw darkness

we all know about Henry's borderline love-affair with the pure genius of the GIANT; in interviews he always talks about how "without Lehmann, we would have been slaughtered"...

now Cashley said something similar in his ridiculous autobiography where he slated virtually everybody at the club

" Without Henry and Lehmann we would have been lost last season"

coming from a man who thinks he is the incarnation of Jesus, that ain't too shabby

the GIANT , of course, has also now extended his own record of CL action without conceding a goal, even if he ultimatively was defeated by HSV in the last minutes

he is now the BEST CL KEEPER OF ALL TIME

statistically

enjoy it whilst it lasts; the GIANT has already announced that he cannot wait to play in the Bundesliga next season

maybe Arsenal should then get Robinson, who, according to Hansen, is really already World Class

pisssss what game were you watching..... After Ronaldo cleared his head then he started playing...

@Otto,

I KNEW that you'd be on here posting this the moment the ball bounced off Lemons hand! Ha ha

Brilliant stuff. You never fail us dear boy. Excellent

Lehmann didn't have that much to do, really.

I watchted the last 15 minutes of the Arsenal game

the first time this season I have caught some EPL action

the GIANT was like a ROCK battered by the sea

well, admittedly a very tame sea, that carressed the rock rather than battered it, but that's ManU for you in a nutshell

I hope he goes to a club like Berlin next year , where his expertise will help build something big

to think that Wenger effectively tried to sack Lehmann, saying : " I can fully understand if you are not happy sitting on the bench watching Alumina's antics; I promise, we will not stand in your way if you want to leave"

brilliant, what a manager

Arsenal fans should build the GIANT a monument for standing by them in times of need and putting them onto the international football map

Great Keeper. But ask yourself this: What is the first word that pops into your head when asked to describe Lehmann?

For Germans, and possibly Arsenal fans, it MAY be "Top Keeper".

For the rest of us, and probably a fairly big number of Germans (re Kahn V Lehmann debacle), it would have to be "utter nob"

Say it all about his reputation: despite how good he is, and he is VERY good - (although some could argue its about time as he's 37 and a full DECADE older than Robinson, the man you make comparison with) - he is such an abrasive character that people struggle to see it. Shame

you missed a great moment with lehmann then otto... even though we all know you watched both games today and have been watching the prem all season

lehmann comes out to claim the ball... o'shea challenges but doesn't even get near to touching him... ref gives a free kick for some strange reason so lens starts going mental at poor o'shea who simply had no idea what was going on.. the man is insane but what a save

Otto, I think Wenger dropping Lehmann for a spell was the best thing that happened to him that season. He came back with much more focus and determination and has been magnificent since. He needed the shock of being dropped because before that he was making a lot of careless mistakes.

Lehmann pulled off an absolute world class save at the end.

First action of the game was to cheat. Two top saves after that does not make up for his lousy attitude towards the game.

Typical German keeper...

hardly cheating when the ball was on the line, meaning it was in his area and was not a yellow card offence

Gave us a lesson? wtf?

Lehmann sucks and should go back to that crappy third tier league named Bundesliga.

And what a cheat he is, as could be seen again today! Only due to his mischievous Germanic voodoo tricks Rooney had a bad match today. Promotion to agent 012 still has to wait...

That was hilarious. He's a complete fruit cake.

When he got that ball kicked into his face by Ronaldo, the general feeling amidst the guys I was watching it with was that "it couldnt of happened to a nicer guy"

look chaps, JENS the GIANT is a GENIUS, hence his nickname

JENIUS

when Whinger benched him the entire German football establishment thought and SAID that MADNESS was at work

Klinsmann, Hitzfeld and Harald Schumancher who were all closely observing his progress at Arsenil all said

" Sporting reasons have nothing to do with benching the GIANT; SOMETHING personal must have happened we are not aware of"

Sheffield Gunner is typical for all those UNGRATEFUL Arsenal fans who do not deserve the JENIUS

HE IS WASTED ON YOU

get Robinson and you have a bona-fide world-class keeper and then talk up his antics as

"not his fault: the ground/ball was slippery, his vision impaired, silly deflection, temporary blindness induced by the harsh London sunshine, ..."

the GIANT will get a hero's welcome in Germany where is he VERY popular now

and Arsenil will become an also-ran club in the ever so exciting EPL

but don't worry, the fight for UEFA places will keep you on tenterhooks

i was thinking did we have time to get a winner when ole shot, but nvm was excellent save. btw the ball was on the line bad decision from ref i think

Otto, I have always been a fan of Lehmann. Even when he was getting slated by everyone in his first couple of seasons I insisted that he was one of the best keepers around. I honestly think that his standards slipped before Wenger dropped him and that the decision to drop him was designed to motivate him. I think it succeeded, and since he returned to the team he has performed consistently at a higher level than he did before.

Take him back then. And that useless overrated waste of Space Michael "red card" B0ll0ck with him. You're right, we dont deserve them, we dont appreciate them

I'm waiting COTR.

Indeed mad Jens saved us alot last season.Best keeper in the EPL and the CL last season. He is already an arsenal legend as far as i am concerned

What game were you watching? I saw a very even game of few chances. Ronaldo's volley, Saha's header and Solksjaer's shot were as good as any of the chances Arsenal created, including the one by which they scored (nice goal - good pass, good movement, good finish).

BTW the ball was on the line

Bull. However, it was a clear penalty but Toure should have been sent off for a stupid, high, late challenge. Well, perhaps not.

I did enjoy it today, because it was a good game. As I dont' support United (unlike the people I watched it with), the result matters little to me. I was entertained, I saw some moments of excellent play from both teams, I was excited by Ronaldo and Fabregas (we're lucky to have those two, easily the best youngsters from their respective countries, here in the EPL) and all in all I had a good time. Would I have preferred a different result? Yes, but Southampton won again and are up to fourth, and that means more to me than Man U...

In retrospect, you are right I guess.

You have to remember that otto loves Lehmann with a passion. I seriously believe that he is his favourite player, nominating him as No.1 goalie for Germany was the only decision otto has ever praised Klinsmann for. He is a bit sensitive when it comes to this fella, guess that he simply can't forgive Wenger for that, even if it was the right choice for the club, and for him (in retrospect).

"Mad Jens" Brilliant.

He is quality no doubt. At 37, its about the peak age for Keepers isnt it

Lehmann is a great keeper but an absolute wanker.

@sheffield

Lehmann himself said that Wenger suggested he look for a new club

the GIANT is a proud man and too good to warm Alumina's seat

most players would have said: " FUCK this , I am off"

Wenger REALLY did want to push Jens out

the reason the GIANT stayed was his little boy who had just started making friends in London and cried bitterly when Jens told him they might leave England soon

the GIANT then realised that he had to stay for his boy's sake, after all, German boys should never have to cry

true story

@ pele

apparently Klinsi said that Ballack, who is TWO-footed, could take a penalty with EITHER foot

English players + Sheva cannot even take spot-kicks with their BEST (one and only) foot

Chelsea better keep the ONE

My my, so eloquently put. Amen to that

can u imagine if all germans were like otto?


first thing that comes ti my mind if i think lehmann?

good keeper, fucking bastard, cunt, mental, why does he go mad at people when they go in his box?

Regarding Ballack: you make out as if Penalties are the be all and end all of football matches!!..........erm, hold on...

@ blut

I also said Klinsi was right to nominate Odonkor

both chrissi and I demanded this when nobody in Germany was on our side

there are many other things Klinsi did right, but the bad ultimatively outweighed the good

with Rehagal/Hitz / Daum or even Voeller , you and I would now be called WOLRD CHAMPIONS by our English friends on here
