After Sunday night’s MOTD2 rape fiasco, ex-Charlton boss and presumably ex-BBC pundit Alan Pardew has issued an apology.

A statement released by the Beeb said: “Alan Pardew apologises unconditionally for any offence caused by remarks he made in the Match of the Day 2 programme last night.”

The BBC also covered their own backs over the incident, claiming there was no immediate apology because all their production team thought Pardew said that Michael Essien “absolutely rakes him” while discussing a challenge with Ched Evans.

There was no confirmation on whether Pardew would be invited back to the show. OTP doesn’t really mind because we don’t rape/rake/rate him that highly as a pundit.

Alan Pardew, the former Charlton Athletic manager, had been invited as a commentator on the BBC football programme Match of the Day 2 on Sunday night when the incident happened.

Pardew, 47, stated that Chelsea. midfielder Michael Essien "absolutely rapes" Manchester City player Ched Evans during a midfield tussle.

"He's timed it perfectly" he said.

"He's a strong boy, he absolutely rapes him" he adds.

Presenters Adrian Chiles and Alan Hansen looked embarrassed and uneasy at the quip.

Pardew's comments came days after black cab rapist John Worboys was convicted for a string of assaults against female passengers and police fear that hundreds of women were targeted by the 51-year-old former stripper.

The bizarre outburst by the football manager has led to 35 complaints, according to the BBC.

A BBC spokeswoman said: "Alan Pardew apologies unconditionally for any offence caused by remarks he made on Match on the Day 2 shown last night".

Football fans have also registered their surprise at the comments on football forums.

"What was the former West Ham manager thinking? Surely he must have had a mental checklist of what not to say whilst on the show, did that list not include avoiding calling any player a rapist? Apparently not! Anyway it was a good display by the west London side who could have won 5-0 frankly" said one fan on thespoiler.com

Fans predict he is unlikely to be asked back on the show.

This is not the first gaffe that the former Premiership manager has made. In 2007, whilst he was manager of West Ham, he was caught on film calling West Ham fans "w***ers" who "should all f*** off". The club employed a media advisor for Pardew to help him win over sceptical fans.

Pardew is currently without a club after being sacked by Charlton Athletic on 22 November 2008.

His comments will be of embarrassment to the BBC, who in recently days have had several gaffes made on screen, including BBC News presenter Chris Eakin comparing fellow newsreader George Alagiah to a chimpanzee live on air and a month after The One Show reporter Carol Thatcher described tennis player as a "golliwog" in the Green Room.
