Lehman DOB: 10th November 1969

Okay Baron, I stand corrected on his age, but I still would not want anyone else in his place at present.

Whilst I agree that Flamini has been a revelation at left back, and obvoiusly a big improvement on Cygan,
I feel that Lauren getting injured has been a real blessing in disguise.

I've never been a big fan of Lauren, too lazy for my liking and have been hoping to see him replaced for a year or two.

But Eboue came of age by going to the African Nations tourney and playing every game alongside Toure.

When they returned they both fitted seamlessly into the back four,
and I reckon Eboue might now be the best attacking right back in the Premiership.

Oh and we also have the best goalkeeper in the Premiership too.

karabiner, i dont totally agree with your opinion on lauren. at the start of the season when we were struggling he was actually our most consistent performer. i do agree though eboue has been awesome. i remember going to the FA cup game which i think was his debut and he looked out of his depth. he also looked like he was struggling against doncaster in the league cup but since he went to the african nations he has been superb.


about our goalkeeper. many have said in the past that he was out weak link which is rubbish. how can a goalkeeper who went his first season without losing a league game a weak link and in his 2nd season win the FA cup be a weak link.

im not sure he is the best in the prem but there are not many i would swap him for... maybe cech but thats it

On his present form I would agree totally.

Lehman is 35.

Dan good deal on your flight to Paris, already planning on making the trip myself too, although i know it will be impossible to get a ticket for the game itself. I agree Villareal will be no pushovers ( they have the mighty Forlan after all lol) but with evryone else floundering this season (even Barca looked outta sorts against Benfica) this is our best chance in europe for many a year.

I agree its good that the Yids are competing this season, and it certainly looks like St Totteringhams day is coming late this year, it would be worth finishing 5th and winning the CL to deny em a place lol.

Eboue and Cesc have been a revelation this year and Lehman seems to have grown up which helps, cant wait for the transfer window to open tho, we may actually sign someone this year and then give Theo a few games oo

if we get there you have to go even without a ticket, we might not get there again for a while(its taken us this long to get to the semis) it would be a great trip.

fortunetly i will get a ticket but there will be that many spares over there you will probably be alright

I'm sorry, Spurs do.

Right, this might come back and bite me in the arse.

I've purchased my flight for the champions league final in paris today.

Before you all start having a pop at me saying we are not there yet and villereal are no pushovers I KNOW.

I havent done it to be cocky although i do think that we now have a great chance. i have done it because today a return flight to paris is £95. but a flight to paris next week is £300 so IF we do get through how much will they be then?? £400+ maybe. so although the flight is non refundable or transferable i feel im getting possibly 3/1+ on my money if you look at it like a bet.

does anybody think this is really silly?? or does it make sense


COME ON YOU GUNNERS

well this hasnt come back to bite me in the arse.

my flight now looks a real bargain as they have gone upto £244 and eurostar is £299 so that a right touch.

accomadation is booked at £57 per person per night (im there for two nights) and tickets are £43.

i cant wait until may 16th when i go over and may 17th when we will be champions of europe

no need for that kev i will start my own thread to gloat on 

[Colchester Kev]

seriously though, you must be hoping for milan to get through, Barcelona are without doubt the best side in europe at the moment ...

Even we have to agree on that surely ??

[The Baron]

European Champions.

Nuff said.

(Until Barca win it.)

[Nem]

In a Final anything can happen. What odds are Arse to beat Barcelona in the final?

kev, to be honest i dont know who we want and i wont be hoping either get through because if i cheer for one of them to go through they will probably beat us in the final.

in a way i would like to play barca because they are probably the best team in europe(agreed) but i think they will play a more open game against us and hopefully leave us a few gaps to exploit. milan on the other hand would keep it alot tighter and let us come on to them a bit more rather than take the game to us and try and hit us on the break.

i think if barca get through it could be a great final



p.s baron, 3 more weeks make the most of it

I will!

I think you will beat Milan. Italian defences don't like people running at them and they are beatable.

Barca might be a massacre.

nem you are right, in the final it could go either way.

one thing i know is that i would rather play barca in a one off game rather than 2 legs i think we have more of a chance
