Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has slammed Arsenal`s Patrick Vieira in his autobiography.
The Dutchman, who will release `Head to Head` next week, wrote:
"Patrick does stupid things. He is a great player but he ruins his game by picking up too many cards for stupid little things.
"There`s always an elbow here or a sly kick here, and when you look at him
it`s easy to see when the red mist is about to descend.
"I know Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has claimed that opposing players are always out to wind him up, but that`s football. You just have to get on with it.
"His whole style involves playing on the edge, and if you play like that you can expect to get on the wrong side of a referee every now and then."
