Flamini

[arseofacrow]

I fucking love Flamini

Yes, I'm still a wee bit tipsy

[Glitch33]

Too early to tell yet, one swallow doesn't make a girlfriend and all that. Promising start though.

I really like to see some leadership on the pitch, it has been missing in recent seasons. Wenger clearly doesn't want the captain to be a threat to his own despotic leadership.

Players often need a lift and geeing up during the game and if Flamini does that on and off the pitch (and plays well) then he gets my vote.

We should have a thread titled the most miserable fuckers on this forum,im not going to mention names but you know who you are

Presumably aimed at Augie and I in this particular instance but sorry I can't go with all this Flamini hype on the evidence of what I saw. He could easily have been sent off, I thought most of the time he chased shadows and did little with the ball. He worked hard; surely we knew already he was good for that? He didn't disgrace himself, but please he ran around like Beckham did for PSG in the CL last year for 50 minutes. If that's the basis for replacing someone like Arteta who fulfilled that role brilliantly for a whole season last year, then football has gone even more 'knee jerk' than I thought.

And as for tle 'leadership' bit......what evidence is there of that? Because he likes a tackle? Per-lease

[topgoon]

If he'd made that tackle in the Nou Camp or the Bernabeu and you had 8 wankers waving imaginary cards he'd have been off before he'd got started

Hardly noticed him. A whole load more credible performers than him and when Arteta is fit he will be a back-up player

This ^^^^^

If you'd watched the game you might have...not aimed at you Augie, but the other bloke. If you thought he did nothing in the game, then you must just prefer when we have a tame midfield where no one is delegating and actually trying to f**king organise. That game was not at the Bernabeu/Nou camp. Everyone's assessment was based on what they saw. I suppose you would have preferred that useless lanky strip of injury ridden piss to slow the game down,give the ball away before being subbed because he'd pulled another ickle,wickle muscle

now that IS Gooner speak for Diaby....unmistakeable

[DB10GOONER]

Thought Flamoney did well tbh. Was good to see someone in midfield take command and talk to the players around him, try and organise them. His booking was foolish, a rash lunge that I felt was the result of him basically laying his marker down to let the Vermin know he was going to take no shit. He will be useful as back-up to Arteta but I also feel he might give away a few stupid free kicks or penalties.

On a free and for 40K a week it's not bad business but ONLY if we sign in some top quality too. If it turns out he was it then heads should roll.

So because I see the game differently to you, means I didn't watch it at all then?

Well done you - you've really won the argument with that one.....and as for wanting Diaby instead to play a holding midfield role you clearly haven't read any of the posts I've made about where his best position is

Flamini did OK. His work rate was good, but people are talking about him on here as being a leader and a replacement for Arteta after 50 minutes. Slight over reaction?

after his performance yesterday he has to be the first name down on the team sheet,he is the ultimate team player,he never stops organising and running,and remember he's not even fit,he returned the player he was when he left,i wanna see lots more of him,as much as I love Tets Flamini is the player we need in that role,its a no brainer

Never underestimate the importance of having a pointy, shouty bloke in the middle of the park.

Is that why have you got one as your Avatar?

I didn't like the way he left the lub, BUT I also didn't like the way the club kept ignoring his requests for 'sit down talks' about (what would have been) his contract....

He was one of the reasons we did so well in that season Him, Hleb (yesss I knowwww ), Rosicky and cesc were Totally Connected....the four muskateers they were called by the other team members.....and that's the last time since the Invincibles that I have seen anything resembling a real team spirit...so I welcome the Flamster back...he takes no prisoners...and we will need his like to do the 'dirty business' in mid-field whilst Oz, Jack & Santi destroy the opposition.

We also need someone who's going to give some shit to the opposition and the ref. Too many nice guys in the Arsenal team.
