Official Gunners Thread

Lehmann. 

Missed the game today, Lehmann another howler, as mental as he is he has been quiet good for us over the last couple of years hopefully thats the last shocker of the year for him aye. How did silva go???? man u lost and chelsea n liver drew so thats a postive i guess

You do wonder if he's now past it though. Sure he's been great in the past, but he is 37 and I think it's fair to say his best years are well and truly behind him.

How long do you keep starting him?

But who would Arsenal turn to if they gave Lehmann the boot?

I think we still have Almunia come to think of it, he's really good. As long as we don't give the number 1 jersey to Mart Poom I'll be happy.

what are you on about.. mart poom went to watford.. and we should play Lukasz Fabianski im sure you guys have seen how good he is or not come to think of that comment =P
He's the bravest keeper we have by the way, way braver than lehmann or almunia.

And to the comment three above, Da Silva played very good in the end, not as good as he could have but i was impressed at what he can be for us this season, he nearly got a 6 yard tap in but that fell off the defender and then from cesc to another defender to van persie who scored, eduardo had another shot which was off target but after a little while in the first half he started to get use to where he was playing, like i say its just a matter of him adapting, i felt when he was subbed off we lost the games momentum which led to blackburn crawling all over us.

Mate Lehmann has to be dropped after this latest blunder i mean if any outfielder made the same mistake he'd be gone no reason why a keeper should be spared. Fabianski was brought in as Lehamann's replacement and i think he deserves a few games to show what he's made of.

Its more likely that if they dropped Lehmann, Almunia would start with Lehman on the bench and Fabianski would start League and FA cup games. UberGunner2007-08-20 19:54:32

Yeah I can't see Fabianski starting the big games yet. Almunia seems to have improved a bit?

he sure has, so im sure almunia will be playing few games soon.. i would rather see fabianski play against manchester city this weekend though.. i prefur his saves and bravery over both almunia and lehmann.

im not a big fan of almunia but he's next in line i guess. this weeks game against man city shud be a cracker. i wouldnt have minded if gunners had signed man citys ELANO, he seems to be a great buy so far

Anyone know if Sky are going to show Arsenal's game against Manchester City? And I'd prefer Almunia starting in goal as opposed to Lehmann, I feel Lehmann has to win Wenger's confidence back after a second blunder in a short space of time.

no they arn't, still waiting on a reply from them about them shifting it from live and maybe sticking another live one in but i highly highly doubt it.

Ill just go back to listening to my arsenal tv coverage.

hopefully we can pull out a good win this weekend, its gona be a tuff game.

This was going to be the first Gooner's EPL match I could watch live this season so far.

Damn you Sky.

I might try and p2p stream but I've heard that such streams are being suspiciously shut down a few minutes prior to kickoff.

mine still work

Do you use the links from myp2p.eu? I heard that quite a few of the different streams were getting shut down (perhaps it was just in Britain though?). 

http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1549

check that.

I use mostly this one though http://arsenaltv.blogspot.com/

Cheers mate. I take it that links to stream live only appear on gameday on that blogspot site?

yeah usually  24-12 hours before hand

Sky are pathetic, I bet if we still had Henry they'd show more of our games.

Yep it's pretty biased at the moment

UberGunner2007-08-23 15:02:16

that link dosent prove anything i mean atvo games that are there are shown here and games over there some are shown here and NOT there.. that is false what your saying, false indeed as i remember them not seeing some of the games that i was watching on sky

That is for live coverage. You are right, non live games are often shown here and not listed on that site.

Lehmann 'injured' for 2 weeks. Quite timely. 

I wonder if hes really injured or has been droped

Yeah he looked fine vs England, i think this is an excuse to bench him for a while like we did a couple of seasons ago. To be fair though, when he came back from that he was great. Hopefully this break will do him some good. I still think a fit and on form Lehmann  is our best goalie.

UberGunner2007-08-24 09:02:09

Live games here as well

Chance for Almunia to step up at show us how well he has improved

Oh Dear.......Oh Dear........

I'm shedding a tear for all you Arsenal fans at Lehmann's first two performances in the EPL

who do you support mate.. i swear no one knows who fabianski is let alone how good he is.. ffs search lukasz fabianski on youtube

Arsenal 1-0 City

Nice goal from cesc on the angle.. bad game really though.. van persie couldnt score, getting his penalty saved dubiously, Sagna injured within 10 minutes, adebayor missing every oportunity he had.. goes on. Good game from denilson though when he came on. Almunia had nearly nothing to do all game.

That's a relief, I wasn't sure if we would be able to beat City. Who are we up against next?

Sparta Prague On Thursday Morning Then Portsmouth This Coming Weekend

did silva play at all or his he injured??? Great goal from cesc, time for our stikers to step. is there any where in town(auck) showing the Sparta Prague game???

Eduardo played, subbed on 70minutes in

Eduardo looked pretty lively too. 

You guys have gone pretty quiet lately. Games on live tommorow on espn and sky 1 from 7am. Ill be watching the game at the Backbencher so pop on in if you like.

The online sky guide says the game is only on ESPN (tennis is on SS1). I would head along but I've got to be at the other end of town by 8.45am. So I'll be streaming the match at home.
