    Almunia won't let Lehmann jibes bother him</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LONDON (AFP) - Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia insists he won't let Jens Lehmann's jibes ruin the best season of his life.

    Lehmann launched an astonishing attack on Gunners manager Arsene Wenger on Tuesday for "humiliating" him by choosing to play Almunia ahead of him.

    The German international also claimed Almunia has yet to show he is experienced enough to deal with the pressure of big matches.

    But Almunia underlined why Wenger has kept faith with him this season by keeping his seventh cleansheet in eight games as Arsenal beat Slavia Prague 7-0 on Tuesday.

    The Spanish keeper is determined not to let Lehmann get to him as he enjoys the chance to play with the Premier League leaders.

    "If I read the papers and listen to what other people say about me and all these things I will turn crazy. I don't want that," Almunia said.

    "When I'm playing well, I honestly don't mind other things. Maybe if I will be playing badly or not too good I would be more worried, but for me life is fantastic and I want to take my chance.

    "The goalkeeping position is a difficult one. I will stay positive.

    "I've been here almost three years without playing in the league. It's normal for people to assess the situation.

    "But I forget the past and now I'm playing so it's not a problem."</div></p>

    Just cut him. lol</p>

    seems like someones angry. Well in all fairness if Lehmann was better then Almunia that week in training he would start. but he isn't and Almunia now has 8 or so clean sheets and 12-13 wins in a row, Good on him is what i say.</p>

    I absolutely can't stand Lehmann, he is a cancer in football like Ashley Cole among many others. They need to dump him off soon because right now Arsenal are headed in the right direction and doing it without any monster overpaid superstars like your Henrys and Ronaldinhos.</p>

    Sure they have stars, but not to that extent.</p>

    True and they should stick to that formula, keep good young players and develop them.</p>

    I don't mind Arsenal, plus they have so many French youth players in their system.</p>
