Jens tells Ashley: You should cop itGerman keeper Jens Lehman thinks any abuse former Arsenal team-mate Ashley Cole receives on the weekend will be deserved.
Speaking about the upcoming derby with rivals Chelsea this weekend, Lehman said: "Of course Ashley should expect criticism from supporters on Sunday,"
"He should get criticism.
"That is football. It makes the game exciting. If he didn't it would have meant that he wasn't an important player, but he was.
"He was a vital member of our squad and we enjoyed some major successes with him.
"So obviously he should expect some negative emotions when he plays against Arsenal.
He added: "I do not understand why young players write books. I do not know why a player at 25 wants to tell me all about their big experiences.
"When I consider the age I am now, I would have a lot to tell people. But it seems to be an English habit to come out with books that nobody needs.
"I don't know if Cole should have waited before writing his book but the English mentality seems to be different to elsewhere.
"I will probably write one when I retire. But I am a bit older than these players. As I said, what is the point of writing a book at 25?"
