Jogi Won’t Give Jens His Tribute, So Rene Adler Does.

2008-11-19T23:00:12+00:00

What a teammate. Or former teammate. Since Jogi Low wouldn't give Jens Lehmann his international swan song - deeming the fixture too important for team experience purposes, which is quite reasonable - Rene Adler decided to take matters into his own hands by leaping six inches off the ground and whiffing miserably at a cross [.

Edin Dzeko Against Cottbus 1. Bayer Leverkusen The subtitle to their season should be "how we got to the top with a crap defense". They conceded goals by a misdirect from the wall on a free kick, allowing Tim Sebastian to waltz freely on another and letting 5'9 Iashvilli outjump a defender. If it [.

Jens Lehmann To Bow Out With Dignity. Not.

2008-11-11T19:50:55+00:00

Jens Lehmann was booked on Saturday for protesting a little too loudly during Stuttgart's 2-2 draw with Frankfurt on Sunday. A Frankfurt player apparently feigned injury to stop a VfB counter-attack, then miraculously recovered. And this made Mad Jens a bit, well, mad: "I told the referee, 'Look! There he goes!

Jens Lehmann threatens to quit over dodgy German referees

2008-11-10T12:28:19+00:00

Stuttgart keeper is tired of being booked If Joe Kinnear thought his Mickey Mouse comment about Martin Atkinson was scathing criticism, he had better think again.

Almunia Proving His Worth

2008-10-29T14:29:55+00:00

Out of the first choice goalkeepers of the top four clubs in England, Manuel Almunia has always been cast as the ugly duckling. But that may be about to change.

Jens Lehmann: King of the Howler

2008-10-04T04:30:50+00:00

Some things never change. Though to be fair, the pass back could've been put in a slightly better spot. But still, I think we've all seen Jens stumble around the box once or twice in the past. And the goal actually mattered, because it helped Bulgarians Varna build up a 2-0 lead in Germany (3-2 [...

Jens Lehmann - Early Season Highlights

2008-10-03T01:38:19+00:00

We're only one and a half months into the new season and Jens Lehmann has already produced two slapstick gems for me and you to enjoy: This one was against Hungarian side ETO Györ in the UEFA Cup's twenty fourth pre-qualifying round, which preceded the UEFA Cup first round group stage qualifying round.

The Kinder, Gentler…Ollie Kahn

2008-09-23T13:24:48+00:00

I followed Bayern Munich's 5-2 humiliation by Werder Bremen last weekend with strangely mixed feelings.
On the one hand, like most fans here, I relished the spectacle of the arrogant Bavarian giants getting their clocks cleaned at home.

Jens Lehmann annoys his Bavarian Neighbors

2008-09-19T17:25:53+00:00

Following his transfer to Stuttgart, Jens Lehmann and his family moved to the small Bavarian town of Berg about 250 km from Stuttgart. A quiet and peaceful town, I guess.
