Happy Birthday Pards

Alan Pardew is 46 today. May his next birthday be celebrated preparing for the Premiership.

Pards is under no illusions about the task ahead. He told the club's E mail bulletin, 'These players are not Premiership players any more; they are Championship players. That's the point - that they no longer have that tag - that needs to be driven home by my staff and I.'

'If they want that tag again then we have to get out of this division so we will be on an even keel with everyone else, that's how it starts. I know the bookies have us as favourites but I don't see their logic; after 10 games we'll know who the favourite is.'
