Jens Lehmann saves from Ronaldo with his face vs Manchester United

Shortly before end of the first half Lehmann got hit in the face by a point blank rocket volley from Christiano Ronaldo, when down conconscious for a minute or so and still managed to pull a fantastic save off at the end. I have no idea how he managed to play on after that hit. He wrote in his book that all he could do was lie there and moan because it was pretty painful and that he was so angry at Eboue chickening out he called him "a fucking girl" at halftime. XD

Please note how Ronny just stands there, pondering about the injustice of the world and doesn't even bother to check if Lehmann got injured while Rooney does just that right away. There was also the unfortunate incident where a couple of misguided United fans (no offence to any decent fans out there) thought it would be classy to shout stuff like "Nazi cunt" or "You gassed Jews and f**ked their corpses" at a half unconscious man on the ground. I think it's nice how Ljungberg and Lewin fuss over Lehmann, though. The match also saw Fabregas jeer at Ronaldo, the latter pushing Fabregas and Lehmann then literally throwing Ronaldo back into the players tunnel after full time. Awww, good old times.
One of the last real Arsenal vs ManU classics in my opinion. They don't make 'em like that anymore. :/

Manchester United vs Arsenal FC, 17. September at Old Trafford. Final score: 0:1 to the Arsenal.

[Trampadoo]

@jc88thelegend: Do you think I care? I didn't even watch the game but I think it is fine because that might give them the chance to get rid of Wenger. As great as he was in his days I think he is past it since years.
