Forget Joe Jordan, Here's 5 Reasons Not To Mess With Gattuso!

After reading The Guardian's machoista article hailing Spurs' assistant Joe Jordan as some sort of "hardman", I was more than a little confused.

These are the reasons they gave for not messing with him....

1. He got his teeth knocked out in the 70's.

- I'm sorry? He got HIS teeth knocked out. How terribly RAAHH of him!

2. He gave Brian Clough a filthy look once.

- Gattuso is meant to respect a man who treated his own boss like shit?

3. He had an aerial collision with a goalie once.

- Who hasn't?!

4. He backed down to Paul Ince.

5. He backed down to Andy Woodman, Newcastle's goalkeeping coach.

- 4 and 5 prove he's easy to mess with!

Now Gattuso, who lashed out after being goaded for 90 minutes on the field and then was subjected to racial abuse by a bigoted, racist cunt, is being chastised the world over for his actions!

If Jordan had said "you black bastard" to a black player, sure as you like, he'd have been reading his resignation today! Why is it OK for him to attack Italians and not others?

Anyway, here's my 5 reasons you don't mess with Gattuso!

1. November 2000, Gattuso punches David Beckham, doesn't even remember it... ;)

2. 2003, Gattuso kicks one man, and promises another he'll batter him with a lollypop after threatening to stick said lollypop up another man's ass.

3. 2006, Gattuso slams own coach, Lippi in the face.

4. 2009, Gattuso smacks 2 Club America players and needs to be dragged away by 4 men including the referee.

5. Quite frankly the number of fights his team-mates have dragged him out of points to the fact that you mess with Gattuso, he will end you. At least he is indiscriminate in his violence, rather than being a racist cunt.

Personally, I feel he should be commended for standing up against racism in the manner he did.
