He's just full of playful japes. If you can't tell a fan to '**** off and die' or try to strangle a player who wouldn't sign for you, then what can you do?! I believe the kidz call it BANTZ.
Lets not forget that the Fourth Official is standing next to them and decided that nothing was untoward. It's getting massively blown out of proportion.
The incident itself was comical, the holding onto his sleeve was a little strange, but his reaction in MOTD interview was 24 carrat bizzare !!!!
We pulled the plug on McCarthur. Uwe Rosler and Wigan used the media to increase the amount spent. Palace ended up paying 7m because of it which, based on yesterday's performance, is about 7m overspent.
The Fourth Official told him to ****ing let go of him. Grabbing a player round the neck while he's on the floor, then holding his arm so he can't go back on the pitch, then saying after the game 'I can take care of myself' is utterly ****ing bizarre. This is the Premier League, the world is watching and he will be punished as a consequence, he's losing the plot.
Purely because of the pundits making it out to be weird. He's has a jovial 'fight' with someone then, clearly sarcastically, said "I know how to look after myself". What's weird about all that?
So why wasn't he sent to the stands? If he'd done anything wrong he wouldn't have just told him to let go of his shirt.
Guy is a total pillock. What on earth possessed him to grab someone on the ground by the neck after an innocent collision and then not let go. MacArther did well to hold his temper from the loony. Then on MOTD what is this 'I can look after myself' cr*p' - even I could handle myself with my opponent on the floor at my knees. Guy has no respect for his club, his club's fans, nor the game itself and the FA should deal with him like they did Pardew.
Having a bit of fun on Twitter... Originallambrettaman @origlambman Nigel Pearson, #sacked or #sectioned, you decide? ARF! #hcafc #lcfc
Reminded me of that Peter Kay story about shaking hands with the Four Tops tribute act and not been able to let go
Well I have to admit that I thought he'd be gone by Christmas, however the cracks are beginning to show, so maybe I was a few months out with my prediction. #bottomofthepile
