"There is no way he would have got that injury with studs, I am sure of it. He has taken a tackle and almost been cut open, which I only believe can happen with blades," Pardew told the club's official website www.whufc.com

"Some clubs have banned them and certainly I think they need to be looked at. I know the FA are looking at it and they will get a report from me about it."
