Jens Lehmann has insisted that there is no problem between him and Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

The Arsenal goalkeeper got into a shoving match with Drogba and both were booked for the incident, but Lehmann insists that the two shook hands after the match.

Lehmann said: "I like Drogba. I think the handshake between us says it all.

"You can have passion in the game but, as long as you get on with people nicely, it's OK.

"He didn't insult me in comparison to his team-mates and I can't complain with him.

"Some of his team-mates insulted me terribly but Drogba never does that so I have no problem with him.

"Lampard is a specialist in insulting people very badly but Drogba is a nice guy - he doesn't insult people."

The German international also insisted that the Gunners were the better side, and deserved to win.

"We played well and deserved a win. When you compare the style of the teams, we were far above them."

Lehmann likes drogba, it seems hes the only 1 in england who does, drogba is an over rated work horse, effective, but hes got no true class, as proved by his diving and general handbag antics on sunday.

Lampard and Terry are pathetic. Always crowding around and intimidating the referees trying to get opponents booked.

And Terry is the England captain?? I suppose it counts for something when you can argue your way to an official and whine enough to give your side the benefit of free kick and get the opponent booked.

They're quality athletes, I'll give them that. But their antics can be appalling.
