Pardew surprised by Newcastle start

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has admitted that even he is surprised about the wondeful start to the season his team have made.

So far this year, the Toon have only lost one game in 13 games and are flying high in 3rd place in the Premier League.


Pardew said: ''Yes, of course. You don't expect to go this far in the Premier League and not be beaten. We have had a couple of shaky games where it was definitely on the cards that we could lose, but we have managed to get something out of the game. I can't say I am not slightly surprised by how well we have done.


"We have had a great start and we are showing a lot of sides to us as a team. We will just take that into Everton and look no further than that.''
