AS WELL AS being a tenacious central midfielder, former AC Milan and Italy legend Gennaro Gattuso really is one football’s great characters. He shares a lot of characteristics with Roy Keane too – they were both obsessively combative players who since retiring, have become known for being voicing their opinions bluntly.
They also share a similarly poor managerial record, with Gattuso getting into all sorts of bother recently while in charge of Crete. This great rant sums up his coaching style perfectly.
Gattuso has since gone back into punditry and was asked after Lionel Messi’s sensational performance against Bayern, how he would go about stopping the maestro.
He went full Gattuso in response.
“How to stop him? I would not know how to coach players to do that. Perhaps man marking – or even a little kick!,” he said to Omnisport.
If only Jerome Boateng had heard this advice before Wednesday night. Then maybe he would have had a handy one-match ban rather than grass stains on his backside.
And as for Gattuso… no surprise that the man who once loafed a 60-year-old Joe Jordan would be open to a bit of violence.
quite like the old crown paints jersey
@sams theman: the adidas Carlsberg sponsored jersey should be modernized and made as are home kit that kit scared away teams it was raw
That keeper kit is fantastic
Meet the new jersey, same as the old jersey!
It’s not bad. I don’t like the way the sponsor logo is white and the crest and NB logo is yellow/gold. Looks strange. It clashes a bit. All white for me id prefer. Anywho. Looks to be last year with new balance. Massive money nike deal looks to be coming. Which is good. Having the same jersey as all nike sponsored teams….. not so good.
@Seaniecp: Bring back Adidas and the three stripes!
@Seaniecp: the sponsor logo is far too high
@Jack Ryan: new balance jerseys have been top notch
@Colm Connolly: ya I guess it is really
Paisley-era shirts were all v-neck. This isn’t. #Fail
@Brendan Moriarty: in fairness they do say it’s inspired by the jersey not copied
@Brendan Moriarty: He would of been 100 this year, read into it .
Can’t wait to see what monstrosities NB have planned for this terms away shirts
No level of mawkish sentimentality is high enough for this crowd…

@Joe O’riordan: delicious salty tears
@Joe O’riordan: it’s called tradition.
@Joe O’riordan: Spurs new stadium, beautiful, Hazard to Madrid beautiful, Chelsea cash nipple run dry, bea…..
It looks OK to me, very like the one from last year (which I loved), but with the pinstripes now white. That goalie jersey should have been the away kit IMO.
