    Reaction from manager Alan Pardew after Newcastle United picked up a 2-1 away win over Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League on Sunday.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: Alan Pardew, Newcastle United manager (on the problems with his team's first half performance)

    "It was giving too much possession to Tottenham, to much space. We never made a challenge, we were fortunate to come in at one-nil (at half-time), so I reminded them second half fundamentals of a Premier League game, and we come out with a much more stronger attitude and I thought second half the players were magnificent."

    Q: "What was your thinking behind the changes at half-time?"

    "Well, we needed to offer a threat. We're Newcastle United, we're not.... a small club, we're a big club and we were playing like a small club. So.... it is a little bit daunting I think, even for senior players, to be out without Papiss (Cisse) and without Cheick Tiote today after our win last week, but.... the new guys stepped up to the plate today, and give us belief, and straight from the second half Jack (Colback) plays a forward pass, which was a rarity in the first half, and suddenly we got ourselves a goal."

    SOUNDBITE: Alan Pardew, Newcastle United manager

    "Premier League is a tough league and you really have to earn a win, and I think we're all finding that out this year. Every game I've seen has been very, very competitive apart from just a few, and it's important that the team have real strong belief in what they're doing. But we find ourselves out of the relegation zone tonight and that's a massive relief for this football club, because the spotlight was very much on us and the pressure, effects everybody. Not just the players playing, but our staff and everybody concerned with the football club. So, in a way that's been a great victory for us today."
