Mad Jens

Great news today, it seems Jens will sign on the line, at least until 2008. I think the stumbling block was that Lehmann wanted at least 2 years. At his age I suppose you really need the security but from Arsene’s point of view he would set a president and go against morals’ he stood by which lost us Robert Pires last summer. When Lehmann came to Arsenal he was already a nutter and had been sent off a few times in Germany. He sure was that, he also made some outrageous mistakes early on. He has progressed into a World Class keeper and even wrestled the German number 1 spot from Oliver Khan. I fuckin’ love Lehmann, I think he is a great character, and a great goalkeeper. We have been lucky to have him and he will still be at the top of his game for next season. Some so called Gooners seem to have forgotten already the run Lehmann went on to get us to the Champions League final last season. 

Woodgate completed his move to Boro for £7Mil today from Real Madrid. I have to say I am massively disappointed we missed out on that one but I think the clincher was he is happy in his hometown and not getting into too much trouble. The worrying factor is Madrid are now after a defender and top of their list seems to be Gallas. I just hope Wengers’ power with the French can keep him at Arsenal as he is a class defender. 

A minute’s cheer/clap will be held at Arsenal before the game against Fulham. Much deserved for Alan Ball & Arthur Milton two Arsenal hero’s who passed this week. Rosicky has also added to Clichy’s comment about the importance of Sunday’s game. He wants Arsenal to finish with a big flourish to end the season, what better way to start next season, we see it time and time again with teams coming up from the league below, a good end often equals a great start. Come on Gooners show us your stuff. 

It is clearly building up to transfer silly season again, the press linking us with every tom-dick-or harry about. Today Sky Sport have lead with Yoan Gouffran a French striker, if Wenger does grab him it will surely end both The Beasts’ and Aliadiere’s Arsenal carers. 

Madrid papers have also linked Real with a swoop for Cesc once again. I don’t know how he’d be treated in Barca if he made that move. It seems that the media over is Espana will see Real field an ex-Arsenal XI next season. 

Wenger has blamed our early season form on ‘The Emirates’ and I’m sure all Gooners can agree. Early draws have cost us big time this season. Villa, Boro, Everton, & Newcastle would have seen us 8 points closer to the title come February and I very much doubt our season would have fallen away like it did. Oh well, no pointing dwelling, onto this weekend and a big performance and a big home win. Fulham your due a hammering!!
