Glad to see Arsenal at least got off to a winning start even if performance was less then perfectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-49482776764236024562007-08-14T12:20:00.000-04:002007-08-14T12:20:00.000-04:00I agree with you and believe that Jens should be o...I agree with you and believe that Jens should be on goal.

Whatever you think about him, It's pretty obvious that we've got him as number one for one more year (apart from in the cups) and he'll probably move on after that. Although I'm not his biggest fan, I think his reputation suffers as much from relentless media criticism as it does from the mistakes he undoubtedly makes (the sort of criticism that's never levelled against Paul Robinson for instance).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, come on you Gooners !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-70305314279694808492007-08-14T10:03:00.000-04:002007-08-14T10:03:00.000-04:00I can see what you're saying Gazzap, but i think y...I can see what you're saying Gazzap, but i think you're being harsh on Jens.

Every tiny mistake almunia makes is critisized from every corner but Jens can make blunders regularly and a lot of fans say, "Its OK he wont do that again, isn't he crazy!" I dont think we are being fair to Manuel thats all.<BR/>I dont like going through every mistake of a player but Lehmann gave away numerous goals last season and some people seem very blinkered to that fact. I have not worked out how many points he has cost us since 'fault' is only an opinion and not fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-39110582566801402212007-08-14T09:48:00.000-04:002007-08-14T09:48:00.000-04:00flamini reminds of david price who i used to watch...flamini reminds of david price who i used to watch in the sixties always running around with his arm up pointing where he thinks other players should be while is running in no man's land NOT UP TO ARSENAL STANDARD maybe with selley mcgoldrick etc he could in george graham's latter teamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-73162936901805264482007-08-14T09:46:00.000-04:002007-08-14T09:46:00.000-04:00Agree.

As someone wrote earlier; I need 10 games to decide wether Arsenal are going to add silverware to the Emirates Cup and Amsterdam Tournament this season.
