Intro:

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew returns to the dressing room, following his stadium ban for headbutting, to face his former club Southampton in the English Premier League on Saturday (28th March). Pardew, whose touchline ban remains in place for another four games, is expecting a tough match against a Southampton side that have impressed this season.

SOUNDBITE (English)Alan Pardew, Newcastle manager

"I need to make sure that with the experience that I've got, I use it in the right manner, and I'll be focusing on that, making sure that the team winning mentality doesn't drop off, and that we structurally are right for what is a difficult game. Southampton, everybody is saying, have had a fantastic season, but we're still above them and we want to stay there."
"It's a battle that both sides are looking at as if to say, well, when you're round about each other you want to prove that you're better. And Southampton: I was there at Tottenham; they were terrific at Tottenham and should have got something out of the game, and I know they're looking forward to the game as well."
