Alan Pardew: "It's not a headache, but a nice problem.

"I didn't use Ben Arfa (against Wolves) because I thought with the pace of the game, and the way we were defending, we weren't going to get enough ball to him.

"Peter came on and did a sterling job. There'll be other games for Ben Arfa to come on, for sure, and Santon.

"To be where we are now's an outstanding achievement, not just by the players, but by the staff I have around me.

"But I don't think any of the fans will be thinking Champions League."
