Paul Merson defended Watford striker Troy Deeney after his red card against Arsenal.
The Hornets skipper was sent off after Lucas Torreira's nudge in the clash at Vicarage Road, leaving Javi Gracia's players to storm the match with just 10 men.
It was a costly shipment, with the Gunners coming off a 1-0 win, Merson said Watford was perfectly entitled to appeal his three-game ban.
Sending to Sky Sports, he said: "Does it have an extra game? No, you can appeal as well.
If you do not get extra play, you can call as well. If this boy (Wayne Hennessey) says that he does not know who Hitler is, he has every chance.
"He could have said" I tickled him. "If he (Deeney) pursued him, he could have gotten away with it."
Merson's perverse comments come after Hennessey has escaped punishment for a so-called "Nazi salute."
The jury of the Football Association said that the guardian did not know what the gesture was.
The charge against the Crystal Palace goalkeeper has not been proven, which means that the 32-year-old will not be punished.
In a document published by the Regulatory Commission, it is stated that two members of the panel of three people consider that the photo was "misinterpreted".
Hennessey denied the accusation, calling the Nazi gesture resemblance "absolute coincidence".
