Feeble excuse of the week

After the Ghana international clattered into City's striker Ched Evans, Pardew said: "He's a strong boy. He knocks him off." His fellow pundit Alan Hansen interjected to say, "he mauls him", before Pardew continued, "he absolutely rapes him". The comment was not spotted at the time by the host Adrian Chiles, Hansen or any of the programme's production staff who, it is understood, thought Pardew had said that Essien "rakes him".

Yes yes, Adrian, we believe you
