Alan Pardew’s post match interview.

Alan Pardew’s loving it, just loving it. However, he does get a bit shirty over a cheeky question from the interviewer about the Demba Ba contract imbroglio.

Watching Pardew’s long balls.

Newcastle v Wigan. Team TP LB LB % Newcastle Utd 471 51 10.8% Wigan Athletic 459 51 11.1% TP – Total Passes.

LB – Long Balls (over 25 yards).

LB % – % of passes which are long balls.

All stats by OPTA.



To give some perspective, 23.5% of all Newcastle’s passes against Southampton were long balls, which was horrific and the reason why I’m doing these long ball watch items. On the other hand, 10.8% is a low figure which is more like the figures you would get for a top side like Manchester United or Chelsea, if not quite Arsenal or Man City. Has Pardew seen the light at last?
