No way Pardew should be sacked, what he did was wrong, but the way the punditsare going on youd think he'd hospitalised the guy. When robbie savage starts giving sermons on behavior you know its all just getting blown out of proportion. At least their player and manager didn't try to inflame the incident, unlike those sreaming for Pardews head. They must be easily shocked if they get so outraged by something like that

Two drunks doing that at closing time isn't outrageous. Two impetuous teens doing that to impress their mates isn't outrageous. Two footballers doing that in the heat of the moment isn't really outrageous.

A manager doing that with little provocation is outrageous. He's meant to be setting an example man. To the players, the young fans, ruddy everyone! Stupid doesn't cover it.

Marchttiger. I concede that you do make a good point, but let's be honest, the premiership probably isn't the place to look for role models at the best of times.
