After a busy transfer window, however, many Magpies fans are willing to how the season starts before producing the banners again.
They haven't been binned ... only put under the bed for the "next crisis".
Alan Pardew: "When I signed the new contract, Mike always knew there would be ups and downs for both of us.
"He stood by me and this feels like an up time for me. He's armed me again, he's stood by me.
"I can always give him an honesty of where we are and he listens - that's why so many players have entered the building. We needed them.
"It's that kind of relationship you can only hope for as a Premier League manager and I'm lucky enough to have it. I hope I can repay him this season."
