Gattuso will right be banned and was acting the maggot all night. Few things though.

Why were Joe Jordan and Redknapp halfway down the sideline for the first incident? (BBC reporting it as "near the Tottenham dugout)

Secondly - Gattuso shook Redknapp's hand and then according to Sky "went straight for Joe Jordan." Who happened to be standing in the way of the entrance to the tunnel.

Souness saying he's shite - he's over the hill, but you don't win a World Cup and two Champions Leagues by being shite.

If he played against Souness he would have known all about it. I hate these fake hard men you get in soccer nowadays and Gattuso is a prime example.

Gattuso may have been decent at one stage but he's a joke now. Spurs would be better off if he was playing in the next leg, would keep a more skilful (dangerous) player off the pitch.

As for the refereeing - I don't think the stuff that was missed last night would be missed in the Premier League in England.

Like many Milan players the last few years, he's over the hill. He was excellent at his job in his day. He wasn't there to produce tricks and flicks.

Anyone find the sight of Jamie Rednknapp interviewing his da a bit odd? What if there was some sort of controversy surrounding a Tottenham player? You'd hardly expect a grilling, would you?

Or Graeme Souness telling 'Arry that the 2 of them would be going for a beer together.

For those wondering about how they communicated, Gattuso stated in today's paper that Joe Jordan said something in Scottish to him which set the whole thing off. Anyone here speak Scottish?

Johnny Giles said Gattuso's wife is Scottish so no need for translation.  Any truth in this?

Personal life

Gattuso is married to Monica Romano (a Scottish woman of Italian descent), whom he met while playing for Rangers at an exhibition game in Toronto, Canada. The couple dated for a long while before marrying. They have a daughter, Gabriella (born 20 June 2004), and a son, Francesco (born 8 November 2007). Monica is the sister of GMTV's Los Angeles correspondent Carla Romano.
In January 2010, Gattuso opened a fish shop in Gallarate, a city in the province of Varese where the midfielder had been living for eight years.[12]

[The Gs Man]

Cannot for the life of me understand how Spurs are 3-0 down in this game.  Ridiculous.

[Denn Forever]

Ground out the result.  Fairplay.

Bragging rights on Northside of London.

[The Gs Man]

My nerves are shattered here!!!

Great result!  Sandro was immense.

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!

[Hoof Hearted]

Good to see it. There will be a few envious faces in the other half of N London tonight !

[wherefromreferee?]

Will that result mean a return to the board by Tony?

"Tonight's performance was from a team of men. Last night's performance from [Arsenal] was from a team of frightened children."

[EC Unique]

Well done the spuds!

[Evil Genius]

"Tonight's performance was from a team of men. Last night's performance from [Arsenal] was from a team of frightened children."

- Harry Redknapp

HR never actually said that - apparently it was made up by some character calling himself "De Selby" on Red Cafe:

Tbf to Harry, he doesn't tend to slag off other teams very much.

And tbf to De Selby, he's absolutely right! 

[Bingo]

I was thinking that quote couldn't be for real, Harry wouldn't be that stupid to leave himself open by saying that.

Trust Ross to dive in two footed and quote it 

[An Gaeilgoir]

Just back from London (Thank you god to be working for a multi-national organisation). What a night, even surpasses the 91 cup final. Sandro and Dawson were unreal. VDV and Bale clearly unfit. 9 days til the next game then the run in to try and get fourth again.COYS.
