Lehmann: "Very, very boring" City

[Fesan]

By that logic Barca is the most boring team in the world then, all that posession... zzzz

[Ted Hughes]

The Germans are worried about us.

They got away with it this time, but they know it's going to get a lot more difficult in the future.

Most Germans won't mind if we stuff it up the 'Deutsch rags' every year tbf & from the mouthy arrogance of their Chairman, to the uncalled for Napoli chants from their fans, it's easy to see why people make that comparison.

In fairness we only scored 2 goals v Bayern. We have given an expectation of at least 3. Maybe that was his preparation?

Bitter old sieve.

[stommy]

we shouldn't react to this kind of provocation...Lehmann is a cunt, and is even in Germany not the "most popular" player, and his opinion isn't worth shit:)

[Hazy2]

He has always hated us since Darius, stood on his toe.

48 "fortunate circumstances" in 14 games.

If you can't be good, be lucky eh?

Love Mancini's dig at him in the pre-chelsea press conference:

"Lehmann was a fantastic keeper, I remember him very well in Italy.... He played fantastic in Italy, incredible"

From wikipedia:

A.C. Milan
He left Schalke for A.C. Milan in 1998, however his performances didn't match the standards set at Schalke. In one game Gabriel Batistuta scored a hat-trick against him, including a goal from a free kick in the box which Lehmann had conceded by handling a back pass. In another game he was substituted after giving away a penalty. Lehmann was dropped after just five matches and believing he wouldn't get another chance at Milan he left during the winter.

And the whole time Roberto is saying it he has a big, jolly grin on his face. Shame none of the reporters seemed to pick up on it

Roberto had an unfair advantage because he's knowledgable about football.
