Pardew's European Paranoia

04 December 2013 14:58
Alan Pardew says he has banned talk of the Europa League and Champions League.

Alan Pardew: “I am not even going to think about it at this stage.

“This is Newcastle, we like to raise our expectations, way beyond the realism of where we are at times.

“But it’s great at the moment.

“Our fans must be enjoying it – I hope they are because I think the team is playing with a commitment and a style that’s good.

“You kind of re-assess it every game, really.

“Our goals for this game will be to be confident to get a win, whereas we might not have been that confident four or five weeks ago.

“There’s that confidence, and you start looking at the table and you start looking at results.

“I’m sure my players were looking on Sunday to see if anyone was going to jump above us, Southampton, were they going to win at Chelsea? I can’t say that isn’t the case.

“There’s an excitement about it and of course as the manager, I want to breed that in and drive that on, of course.”
