Alan Pardew somehow, someway escaped any FA action this week after he called Manuel Pellegrini a "f****** old c***" during Newcastle's loss to Man City last week. Pardew told the assembled hacks in his weekly press conference yesterday that even though he escaped any punishment, he is going to punish himself because he feels so darn bad for what he said.
“There are a couple of things I would like to do outside my work hours in the local community. I have heard from [assistant manager] John Carver there are a couple of boys’ clubs struggling and I am going to do something with a housing association in Walker (a suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne).
“That will be my penance to my two girls who are a little bit miffed about my behaviour. I am not proud of the comment I made. I am going to punish myself.”
What a selfless thing to do. Salt of the earth that man.
