<DIV><H2 id=story_title>What Pardew said excuses Wenger's reaction</H2><P id=author>By Myles Palmer</DIV><DIV>
MY prediction : the FA disciplinary hearing will find Alan Pardew guilty and Arsene Wenger innocent.
Pardew invaded Wenger's technical area with his fist clenched and said three words to him.What he said was provocative, disgusting, over the top.It was OTT, even in the heat of the moment - even in the heat af that moment.
Fourth official Andy D'Urso will tell the FA what Pardew said and that will tally with what Wenger tells them.
So they will fine Pardew and warn him about his future conduct.
That's what I expect to happen
Obviously, ANR can't publish what Pardew said.
But I've changed my mind about that aggro.
Knowing what I now know, I'm sure the bust-up was 90% caused by what Pardew said.
And Pardew will accept his punishment.He won't appeal</DIV>
