Intro:

Post match reaction from Alan Pardew and Neil Warnock after Newcastle United and Crystal Palace shared six goals in a 3-3 draw at St James' Park in the English Premier League on Saturday (30th August).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Neil Warnock, Crystal Palace coach(On his delight at getting back into a coaching role and the fighting spirit his players showed and responding to a new coach after just two days together):

"I did, yes, I thought you can't really ask more than the players give me today, You know, we've had a good two days, that's all we've had together, and two cracking sessions... They played today like I thought they could play. But I don't want them to get tied down, I think they tried to attack as best we could, I was disappointed in the first half, if I'm honest. I thought Newcastle's best attacks in the first half came from our mistakes, which gave them opportunities within our half of the pitch. But I thought in the second half, we were a lot more clinical in breaking out and I thought we created some great chances and I still think that's a cracking goal for the third goal, which should have put the game to bed at 3-1 (Wilfried Zaha had an effort ruled out with the score at 2-1 in the second half), so it was cruel to end up 3-2 down when you think you should have won the game. But all credit to them, one or two people said that we'd never come back from a goal down, but to come back at that stage in injury time, was a fantastic achievement by them all."
