Alan Pardew has said in the Daily Mail that Jose Mourinho will get a slap if the Chelsea boss tries any of his infamous touchline antics on Saturday.
Mourinho, not shy of an exuberant celebration, was forced to apologise
last weekend after jumping into the crowd when Fernando Torres snatched a
last-minute winner against Manchester City.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini refused to shake Mourinho's hand, but Pardew
has joked that the Portuguese will not get off so lightly at St James'
Park.
"He doesn't want to be jumping round me because I'll give him a slap,"
Pardew said. "I'm bigger than him and he knows that. He can jump around
in the crowd or whatever he does.
"If you're a football person and you can't love what he's about, then
you can't love the game or what he does. He makes me laugh."
Pardew has his own reputation when it comes to celebrating with fans.
The Magpies manager leapt into the crowd when Papiss Cisse scored an
injury-time winner against Fulham in April -- a result Pardew saw as
vital in the club's fight against relegation.
"I've had a couple of occasions in the past where I've jumped in the
crowd. I've got my own history with that so I don't have a problem with
it," Pardew added, before joking: "'I did check my pockets in case one
of them wasn't a Newcastle fan, but fortunately my money was still
there."
