England U21 boss Stuart Pearce has been caught swearing on live television.

Pearce shocked television viewers by swearing during his review of the Newcastle United, Manchester City match at St James' Park.

Pearce, also known as Psycho, was talking about Newcastle's interim boss Joe Kinnear who himself cam under fire recently for an expletive-laced outburst aimed at journalists.

Talking live on Setanta Sports, Pearce said: "Coming to the game tonight I talked to one or two people that suggested Kinnear has won them over a bit. I don't think Joe is a bulls***ter, you know.

"He is what he is and it means a lot to him to come to this football club and try to help them out of a sticky situation.

"Now the reaction of the players speaks louder within any squad. Their reaction at Everton a couple of weeks ago and their reaction tonight when it could have been easy for this team to go down here, but from the moment that ball hit the back of the net to the final whistle Newcastle thoroughly deserved to get something out of the game."
