Mad Jens on a Rant!
What with a top spot in the Premiership and a stonking 7-0 win in the Champions League today, you'd think that everything would be sunny around Ashburton Gate these days. Not with Mad Jens about. Dropped for a couple of matches after returning from injury, the Teutonic headcase has been having a go at Arsene and throwing Almunia under the bus in the press. Surely, if Almunia is as shocking as he claims he is, Jens will be back in the side before long without all the fuss. What is he thinking? Is he dating Hope Solo?

Hey, Everyone knows that The Emirates when they're not playing football doubles as Logan's Run's Carousel.
Jens has been year to year for one season at least, and when he slipped up in consecutive games and so horribly, his red light started to blink, so to speak.
Lehman's not coming back into a squad that's unbeaten this year, perfect in the CL, and to replace Almunia who has conceded only 4 in the Prem, zero in the CL.
And guess what? Lehman's kidding himself if he thinks he's been relegated down the list to just number 2. Expect Fabianski to continue to start in the Carling and the FA cup campaign, and to soon be named consistently as the backup in games in the Prem.
Jens isn't doing this because he's simply angry either. He knows that the sooner he's away to Germany, the sooner he can get his Euro plans cemented, something that J-Low has said would be impossible if he stayed and didn't play. So he's trying to make himself as big a pain in the neck as possible so that the minute that the transfer window opens, he's the doggy in the window. More of a scary old rescue case than adorable, but someone in Germany will pick him up.
I'm sure that Le Boss would prefer a happy Jens than the mad, rabid one he's got, because it would be a lot of pressure on Fabianski if he had to take over for more than a game or two, and would probably put paid to our silverware hopes this year. But I look at the way Almunia is performing and he doesn't look like he's looking over his shoulder for signs of Jens.
Did you see that episode of The Office where Darrel explained why he's really dating Kelly? "I just get a kick out of how much it bugs Ryan. In fact, I just get aroused when I see that little white boy walk through the door!" That's how much I think Manuel worries about Jens.
Yep, Carousel time for Jens and no Michael York, or even a Jenny Agutter for company.
Good stuff, Gooner. Btw, the lads on Fox Football Fone-in were trading in the mad rumor that Brad Guzan is on Arsene's shopping list for the new year. Are you biting?
No. There's not an American player right now that could maintain a first 11 place in any of the top 4 teams in the Prem.
I don't know how old Guzan is, but Fabianski is 18 or 19 I think. He's the future and Guzan should really look towards Spurs if he wants a N. London side.
Ouch! I'm not sure the kid wants Championship level play.
Hey, you'd have to think that there's the possibility of an opening at Spurs in the keeper position come January.
C'mon, you think they're really going down? With that payroll?
Didn't West Ham go down with a team that was "too good to be relegated?"
Strange things happen.
