the genius of jens lehmann, and sweet victory over liverpool

ex-arsenal keeper jens lehmann has always been a complete lunatic, but he has been outdoing himself lately. here, he abandons the goal to piss in a trashcan by the sidelines during a recent match for stuttgart. jens is smart enough to know that you can't effectively tend goal with a full bladder.


lehmann will always be remembered for getting himself sent off in the fucking champions league final (first player ever to do so) for arsenal several years back, and he works his magic in the CL here for stuttgart:


today, jens' successor did what he could to try and throw the game away for us with his complete inability to deal with crosses, but was rescued by liverpool defender glen johnson's hilarious own-goal and andrey arshavin's brilliant strike in the second half:

love his celebration, and the fact that he runs over to wenger for a pat on the head after the goal. relieves me of some of my anxieties that he has completely given up on his career with arsenal. while i would still be surprised if he didn't end up at barcelona after this season, i am glad that he is relishing in his current role as main striker. hopefully he can get us through our van persie-less spell, which looks as though it will be pretty long.
