Alan Pardew admitted he is surprised at how well his Newcastle side have started the new season ... but he says the Toon Army know it won't last and are not putting pressure on him.

Alan Pardew: "I am a little surprised at the club's start, yes, of course.

"You don't expect to go this far in the Premier League and not be beaten.

"We have had a couple of shaky games where it was definitely on the cards that we could lose, but we have managed to get something out of the game.

"I can't say I am not slightly surprised by how well we have done.

''We have had a great start and we are showing a lot of sides to us as a team. We will just take that into Everton and look no further than that.

''I think our fans are underestimated about their knowledge of the game. I think they know exactly where we are at.

"They know we are playing with confidence and that we have got a decent side. How good it is, we don't know. We are just going from game to game at the moment.

''But I don't see the expectation levels rising or going through the roof here. Everybody has got their feet on the ground and we are just hoping we can keep it going.''
