Im not sure totally about Bendtner as I think he might have something about him. But he comes across as far to cocky bollocks to me.

The reason why he's first choice was that Wenger was stubborn and dislike lehman. Lehman always speaks his mind and was too outspoken for wenger. The same way he challenger Kahn for Germany's keeper position, he did it with alumia.

We had to score more than one and even more than two goals last season to draw or win.<BR/><BR/>The Mancs won the league not because of the winker but because the best keeper at the Euros, Van Der Sar is their keeper.<BR/><BR/>Azza you dipstick, why call a guy a cunt because you don't like his comment.<BR/><BR/>I also think Coco the fucking clown is the worst keeper I have seen at Arsenal in more than 30 years, yes even Richard Wright was better. <BR/><BR/>Seaman was average at the end of his career and AW should have got rid of him earlier.<BR/><BR/>You can go on all you like about CB's and DM's but it will be a waste as long as this joke is in our goal.<BR/><BR/>I don't have the stats but I bet his goals to shots saved ratio is shit. He is paid to save shots and the fiction that he is a good shot stopper is laughable or a crying shame in my case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-26818884160764743752008-06-15T17:00:00.000+01:002008-06-15T17:00:00.000+01:00Just seen some of your posts on here before going ...Just seen some of your posts on here before going off on one mate!<BR/><BR/>I dont even wanna consider the thought of Eboue 'playing' on the right side of midfield next season.

HE was at fault for their goal, yet Senderos got all the stick.<BR/><BR/>He never makes outstanding saves; the free kick at Brum, Drogba's effort at the Bridge, etc etc...<BR/>Given is loads better.
