As Mathieu Flamini starts again for Arsenal in their Premier League clash with Bournemouth and almost ends up getting himself sent off following a rash challenge, dismayed fans were making jokes – and these are the best of them.

Supporters were left unimpressed when a two-footed lunge on Dan Gosling in the first half of what they thought was a must-win game could have resulted in a red card for the midfielder.

On with the jokes as Mathieu Flamini starts for Arsenal against Bournemouth and is almost sent off:

@ElNennyM brother we need you to replace Flamini and you're having kids? This is not an elite mentality

This bromance feature about Flamini and Ozil is a bit weird. But I like it.

We're going to have to sell Ozil to get rid of Flamini

I’m pointing and shouting at Flamini on my telly. And of course, that’s completely ineffective.

Elneny's new born baby could play DM better than Flamini.

Flamini, on a yellow and typically providing little cover in front of the back four, remains on for the second half.

Flamini almost rolled his ankle there.

In completely unrelated news, I almost opened a bottle of champagne.

I know god exists and is the cruel god of the book of job because flamini never gets injured
