Everyone will go on about Gattuso from tonights game (Spurs CL). Though this guys tackle was horrendous, there is no place for that in football. Want to do that f*** off back to Arsenal with Fabregas & co.

I really don't get what people see in this guy. He's a yellow card magnet, always on the verge of a brutal challange, avoids ball contacts and mostly plays under the radar. I gave him tons of chances, but the guy never really showed up.

Yeah i am done with Flamini to, i love his energy and commitment but tonight along with Rino they both went too far and are just a liability to the team..... Strasser and Merkel please!

QUOTE Tuesday 15 February, 2011 Flamini: 'I apologised to Corluka'
Mathieu Flamini reveals he “went to the Tottenham locker room to apologise” to Vedran Corluka. The Milan midfielder was fortunate not to be sent off for that two-footed tackle that forced Corluka off on a stretcher in the 1-0 home defeat.
“I went to the Tottenham locker room to check on Corluka’s condition and to apologise,” ex-Arsenal man Flamini told Sky Sport Italia.
“It’s a shame about the defeat, as we played a good second half. Now we’ll have to go to London and win the game.
“We can win on our travels and created scoring opportunities tonight. In the first half we were too sluggish when pressing, but after the break we deserved a victory.” Link: http://football-italia.net/feb15z.htmlQUOTE Tuesday 15 February, 2011 Redknapp: 'Flamini is a disgrace'
Harry Redknapp felt it was “a great night for Spurs” at San Siro, but blasted Mathieu Flamini. “It’s an absolute disgrace.” Tottenham came away from Milan with a 1-0 victory in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie.
“I said at half time we had to keep giving the ball to Aaron Lennon because he really had the beating of the left back all day,” the manager told Sky Sports 2.
“We had to keep trying to get him on the ball as much as possible, but the back four stood firm.
“The whole team were magnificent, every one of them did their jobs tonight. You hear the crowd singing - it's a great night for them, it's a great night for Tottenham.”
There was controversy, though, as Flamini was only booked for a two-footed tackle that forced Vedran Corluka off on a stretcher.
“That's a red card all day - how do you not get a red card for that? It's an absolute disgrace - they should look at that surely and they should do something about that. That is a dangerous, dangerous tackle.
“Obviously I lost Corluka and took a gamble really bringing Jonathan Woodgate on but I just felt his experience would be vital, it was a case of knowing where to be at the right time and I felt that Jonathan could give us that.” Link: http://football-italia.net/feb15aa.html

No, to me it has nothing to do with the foul. It has to do with the thing that other then collecting yellow cards, I really don't see what he's capable of doing consistent. His form has it's up, but is mostly down. He has no dynamic movement, he makes no meaningfull runs, his shooting is fair...I really don't see the potential in this guy anymore.

I don't know. Maybe with Pirlo he'd look better. But I think we're making this look like a science, while in fact the guy hasn't been that good with anyone in our team consistently.

the problem with players like Flamini and Gattuso, even Ambrosini though he's more of a footballer compared to those two, is that they can only be good when there's others next to them that are technically gifted - they do the running and the others do the playmaking. Flamini or Gattuso next to Pirlo is OK... it's like butter and honey... Flamini next to Gattuso is butter and butter... what the hell are you gonna do with it?

The sad thing is, with players like Flamini and Gattuso it seems like football has returned to the 80's in terms of skill. Hopefully the next decade will be more like the 90's too!
