What a strange man Jens Lehmann is. Despite his theatrics and pantomime routine with Didier Drogba he claims to like the Ivory Coast striker because he’s a ‘nice guy’. However, he reveals his dislike for Frank Lampard, saying:
Lampard is a specialist in insulting people very badly.
That makes sense, actually. Lampard always looked like a sly cunt to me and the fact that he has no lips and is constantly close enough to players to get off with them when he’s giving them some verbals means it’s impossible to see what he’s saying. What I am surprised at is that Lampard can insult people ‘very’ badly as I would suggest to do that you would need an extensive vocabulary. Perhaps someone wrote down the words for him and he just learned them off.
Gilberto took some time today to blast the blues conduct with regards referees and I agree with him 100%. I mentioned it on yesterday’s blog but it’s obviously a deliberate instruction from the manager so I don’t see it stopping any time soon and with the FA so toothless over things like this I don’t see it stopping. Hopefully one of them will step seriously over the line sooner or later. Hopefully with Graham Poll. And hopefully with the corner of his elbow or he’ll do what that bloke did in American History X and make Poll bite and advertising hoarding before stamping on his head. CRUNCH. The FA might do something then.
On loan at Birmingham Nicklas Bendtner is doing well. He obviously feels he’s doing well enough to issue a warning to Arsenal, saying:
Arsenal need to give me a sign they are going to play me. I’ve had a taste of regular football and I don’t want to be back in the reserves again.
Which is fair enough, I suppose. Some people might call him arrogant but I’d rather have someone with his ambition and desire to play than someone who will meekly accept reserve football season after season after season. Whether Arsenal give him the sign he wants remains to be seen.
Our other young prodigy, Arturo Lupoli, hints that he could move on in the summer as well unless he receives guarantees about involvement in the team too.

And that’s about it really. I did have a good laugh at Alan Pardew getting the sack yesterday. Not dancing around someone else’s technical area now are you, you cunt?
There’ll be a proper preview of the Wigan game with team news and all that kind of stuff tomorrow. Till then.
