A bit of transfer speculation this morning (quelle surprise), and it involves our madcap goalkeeper Jens Lehmann. The Sun claims that Eriksson wants Lehmann for his Man. City side, despite not having any quotes whatsoever and making the assumption that because he's being forced to play Kasper Schmeichel and Joe Hart, he needs an experienced goalkeeper. However tenuous the links may be, it does seem that Jens is being frozen out. Self-soliciting tosspiece Myles Palmer adds his two-bob in typical fashion, claiming that Lehmann "is an angry man who seems to have lost all sense of sporting decency." Fair enough, but then he goes on to state his affection for the keeper, before reverting to type and discussing his shattering foresight on something or other. I couldn't help but be reminded of Alan Partridge's doomed meeting with fictional TV chief Tony Hayers, moving from "it's all wine this, wine that" to: "can I shock you? I like wine." Palmer really is a self-promoting feckless irritant at the best of times.
New boy Lassana Diarra shows us his astute reading of the game with his juxtaposition of Chelsea's style of play with ours. Funny he mentions the long balls now seeing as for the first time in many years we actually play with a target man ourselves. A strange comment about not playing enough games for Chelsea too, in light of the fact that he's started one Carling Cup tie for us. Still, as long as he's happy...
Fitness news sees Eduardo and Tomas Rosicky set to play for their countries over the weekend- expect the latter to splinter his ass-bone in the process. Until then, here's yet another bloody match report for those bored Gooners out there...
