Intro:

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew admitted he didn't know how secure his position was after his side lost 1-0 at Stoke City in the English Premier League on Monday (29th September).

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Hughes, Stoke City manager (Q: A win home win of the season, how good does that feel?)

"Yeah we're delighted with that. That was an important win for us today, a big win, because a little bit of negativity around our form, our away form is excellent and we're really delighted that that looks really strong this season because that will be important for us. We were always quite comfortable in the knowledge that we felt it was only a matter of time before our home form turned around. It was important that we had a positive result tonight and I think on the balance of play we deserved to win the game. I think in open play we created any number of chances that on another day we could have converted. So we're pleased with the win, I think it shows the importance of the first goal in Premier League games, it's always important to get your nose in front, we were able to do that with a great ball from Victor (Moses) and a good header from Peter (Crouch)."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Hughes, Stoke City manager (Q: How good was Victor Moses tonight?)

"Very good, he's been exceptional since he's come to the club, we're really delighted with what he's produced. He's a man on a mission I would suggest because he hasn't had a lot of football in the last two years or so, two seasons. So he just wants to play and every time he gets in those positions in the wide areas you always sense that something is going to happen and it was the same again today. So we're delighted for him, I think if he continues in the same vein then he'll have a good season and so will we."
