Almunia - We no longer talk

  Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has revealed that he and Jens Lehmann are no longer on speaking terms.
  
  Almunia deputised for Lehmann earlier in the season while the German international was sidelined through injury.
  
  The Spaniard has since become Arsene Wenger's first-choice stopper, meaning the now fit Lehmann has had to settle for a place on the bench.
  
  And Almunia has explained that he and Lehmann do not talk to each other - a situation that he prefers.
  
  "We maintain a distance. There is no dialogue. It's better for me that way. I'm a lot calmer not talking to him," he said in The Sun.
  
  "I'm having the best time of my career, enjoying each game as if it is my last. I like living fully in the present."

  Its good.
  
  better to have almunia doing stuff on his own
  
  and not to have the mentality to out-perform himself to prove lehmann wrong.

  A team. No Team in this world has all their members on talking terms.
  
  In some clubs.
  
  U have the manager throwing a boot onto their captain.
  U have the players taking a golf club and whack his team mate.
  U have the Owner and the manager on non-talking terms
  
  Between Almunia and lehmann, who is in the team? the starting eleven? I believe everyone has the answer. Its the Ego of 1 person, who makes him disliked by the fans. whether the players dislike him, the transfer window will say everything.
