Gattuso Head Butts Spurs Assistant: AC Milan's Gennaro Gattuso head-butted Tottenham assistant manager Joe Jordan after his club's 1-0 loss in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match Tuesday. The two clashed during the match as well and Gattuso pushed him. "Jordan was breaking my balls throughout the second half but that doesn't justify my reaction," Gattuso said. "We were both speaking Scottish given that I played in his country in Glasgow but I'm not going to say what was said."
I was amazed the two-footed tackle by Mathieu Flamini didn't get a red card. That was an out-of-control AC Milan squad.

"...I'm not going to say what was said."
Which is actually the part I'd be most interested in, to be honest.

I'd be angry too if someone called me Italian, them's fighting words.

Joe Jordan didn't lose his front teeth from decay, you know.

I admire Gennaro Gattuso's enthusiasm, but if you're going to pick a fight with someone from Spurs, I probably wouldn't pick Joe Jordan, 59 years old or otherwise.
