TOUCHLINE TALK: Newcastle United's manager Alan Pardew and City boss Manuel PellegriniThe two exchanged words in the aftermath of Cheick Tiote's disallowed 'goal' during the Blues' 2-0 win .
Replays suggest that Pardew shouted, "******* old ****" at Pellegrini as tempers flared.
Pardew said afterwards: "Pellegrini said something to me on the touchline which I wasn't happy with, it was normal banter where I probably used words I shouldn't have in the heat of the moment and I apologise for that."
