Not much news today which is lucky because I’m late for work.
In the FA Cup draw, Arsenal got a home tie against Wolves. In probably the tie of the round, Southampton drew Portsmouth at home, giving Portsmouth fans an early chance to call Harry Redknapp a cunt.
Jens Lehmann has said he will stick it out at Arsenal and earn his first team place back. He reckons he’s going to see out his contract but if he wants to succeed in ousting Oliver Kahn for the World Cup, he’s going to need first team football by next season at least, and it’s hard to see how comments like “At this club every goal is blamed on the goalkeeper” are going to make him very popular. He also suggested he knows why Arsene Wenger would say he thinks Lehmann might leave, presumably meaning that the boss is effectively putting him in the shop window.
And that’s your lot.
