Kahn takes another swipe at Lehmann
-
Oliver Kahn has renewed his rivalry with Jens Lehmann, despite being retired from international football.
Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann criticised Kahn, saying he does not like the way the Bayern man considers "himself to be so important".
That was in reaction to Kahn's comments that there would never again be an era like his, in which one goalkeeper is the dominant German number one.
With Manuel Almunia having taken Lehmann's place at Arsenal, Kahn has taken the opportunity to have another swipe at the 37-year-old.
"Instead of showing no style in having a go at his former colleagues, he should be thankful that he even has the chance to play for the national team when he is not playing for his club," Kahn told Kicker magazine.
"This scenario has never arisen in the history of German football." -
Kahn looks like he is grabbing his head and going to kiss him.

*Bierhoff warns Lehmann*
Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff has advised Jens Lehmann to leave Arsenal should he not regain his place in the first-team.
Lehman, who has been struggling with injury, has not featured for The Gunners since the away draw at Blackburn Rovers on 19th August.
Earlier in the season the German shot-stopper produced a number of high-profile blunders and could well face a fight to reclaim his place in the Arsenal side when he returns from an injury lay-off.
Manuel Almunia has deputised for the injured Lehman, and has impressed in managing six clean sheets in nine games.
Bierhoff has stressed that first-team football is fundamental if Lehmann plans on keeping hold of his No.1 jersey for Germany.
"I can't believe that Jens is out of favour at Arsenal after his performances over the past few years," he told Kicker magazine.
"It is a difficult situation, especially for a goalkeeper. In the short-term it isn't a problem for us, especially as Jens feels that he will soon be back between the posts.
"Many things can happen between now and winter, but if Jens isn't playing regular first team football then I would advise him to look for a new club."
City link, Kahn feud
Lehman, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season, is reportedly being tracked by Manchester City - with Sven Goran Eriksson looking to add an experienced goalkeeper to his squad.
Despite a lack of first-team football, the 37-year-old is set to start for his country in Saturday's Euro 2008 qualifier against Republic of Ireland.
Meanwhile, the friction between Oliver Kahn and Lehman has continued to increase following further comments from the Bayern Munich man.
Referring to Lehman's recent response, Kahn said: "Perhaps rather than talk about former colleagues, he should be grateful he has the chance to play in the national team while he doesn't play for his club.
"That has never happened before in the history of German football." -
hmm....

*LEHMANN BLAST FOR TEAM-MATE*
Arsenal's Jens Lehmann has hit out at Manuel Almunia's claims that he is a better goalkeeper than the Germany international.
Earlier in the season the German shot-stopper produced a number of high-profile blunders and could well face a fight to reclaim his place in the Arsenal side when he returns from an injury lay-off.
Manuel Almunia has deputised for the injured Lehmann, and has impressed in managing six clean sheets in nine games.
The 37-year-old is unimpressed at Almunia's 'disrespectful' comments claiming that the Spaniard should rethink his position.
"It's the first time I have not been playing and that is due to an elbow injury and Almunia has now said he is the better goalie," Lehmann told The Sun.
"But if I join a team in which No.1 goalie has been the No 1 for years and also won titles and then I fail to perform, I find those remarks disrespectful." -
talking about goalie being no.1 for their country while not being first choice at club, i think about fabian carini, once fourth choice at inter but still no.1 for uruguay........now finally no.1 at real murcia...
