No FA action for Alan Pardew and Manuel Pellegrini

The Football Association are unlikely to take any further action against Manuel Pellegrini and Alan Pardew for their touchline row.
The managers were involved in an altercation during Manchester City's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Pellegrini was angered when Pardew entered his technical area at Selhurst Park, and gestured to the Palace boss to move away. They were separated by match officials and then shook hands.
Pardew had been incensed by a foul from Yaya Toure on James McArthur, for which the midfielder was shown a yellow card.
It was not the first time the pair have been involved in a touchline disagreement, having clashed during Manchester City's 2-0 win at St James' Park in January 2014, when Pardew was in charge of Newcastle United.
Pardew escaped FA punishment for that incident but was "reminded of his responsibilities" by the FA.
However, it is unlikely any action will be taken against the pair.
