Pardew: 'Fans Aren't Fooled By Our Start'

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.''
