Alan Pardew: "I thought the second goal was crucial in the game.
"We took the game to them after the first goal but couldn't quite find a moment in the box before half-time.
"We had a good chance with Joey (Barton) just after half-time and I would expect him to score that.
"If we had scored that would Liverpool have been able to break out of the slumber we have got them in?
"Unfortunately for us Mike Williamson made a mistake which cost us the second goal, albeit outside the box by the looks of it."

Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
