Lehmann caught

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has compounded his recent bad press with a middle finger gesture aimed at German fans while chanting for him to be replaced in the weekend’s international against Cypres.

Lehmann denied the obscene gesture and claims he was scratching his head (with his middle finger) as the crowd chanted for Robert Enke to go on. I think the picture makes it very clear that he was letting the fans know what he thought. Think about it, how often do you use your middle finger to scratch anything?

Lehmann’s recent behavior has descended from foolish to all out comedy. He recently claimed he was humiliated at his place on the bench. It’s all falling apart, isn’t it? It’s why he needs to go.
