7. Alan Pardew Calls Manuel Pellegrini A "F**king Old C**t"
There's certainly no love lost between the pair. The Pardew v Pellegrini sideshow often overshadows their respective teams' performances as all eyes are focused on the dugout. Beginning in 2014 when the Londoner labelled his Chilean counterpart a 'f***ing old c**t' in a game between Newcastle and Manchester City, the rivalry has often reached boiling points in the years since. Although Pardew left Newcastle to join Crystal Palace, the manager wasted no time in reviving the rivalry and in September last year the pair clashed over a couple of reckless challenges by their players. Cearly incensed by James McArthur's clumsy-looking attempt to win the ball off Yaya Toure, Pellegrini ended up in Pardew's technical area - much to the Eagles manager's dismay. Although the pair are still seen to shake hands after matches, it is clear that they won't be on each other's Christmas card list.
