Arsenal link roundup, special international edition

WIGAN, ENGLAND - MARCH 29:  Jens Lehman of Arsenal in action during the Barclays Premier Reserve League match between Wigan Athletic and Arsenal on March 29, 2011 in Wigan, England.  (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images)

Arsenal have had a slow week, clearly, as international football has taken center stage, such as it is.  There are a few things of note happening, however, including today's reserves league match, which Arsenal lost to Wigan by a final of 2-1.  Jens Lehmann played in the match along with striker Jeremie Aliadiere, and Young Guns described the action in their match report.

Star-divide

Lehmann apparently struggled a bit in his first competitive match in a while, as one might expect.  The question of whether this is a worrying sign for Arsenal is probably moot, as Manuel Almunia will continue to start in goal for the Gunners, but hopefully Lehmann can continue to shake off the rust.

There are some other tidbits out on the internet very much worth checking out at the moment, as well:

Jack Wilshere 2010/2011 retrospective analysis, in a couple of parts [The Backwards Gooner].

And Thierry Henry was interviewed on Sky Sports yesterday; there is video of that as well [Youtube].

On the basis of Young Guns and the Guardian’s report (we’ll see the highlights later), Jens or Almunia against Blackburn?

Squeezed to Song and Bendtner and Song and Nasri oh lovely lovely lovely!

Under almost no circumstances should Lehmann start a first team game

if Almunia gets hurt, sure, but Lehmann is purely cover for injuries at this point.

Squeezed to Song and Bendtner and Song and Nasri oh lovely lovely lovely!
