Post match press conferences
Pardew’s “overjoyed” with the performance but not the result, and thinks anything is possible at SJP if Newcastle put Benfica under pressure at St James’ Park.
Jesus says the tie isn’t over yet.
Also, here’s a transcript of what Alan Pardew had to say in his post match interview stright after the game:
“We’ve done so much right tonight and got ourselves into a great position with Papiss’s goal. The away goal could come into it if we get the first goal at St James’ Park because if we can get that first goal, we are only going to need one more.”
“In terms of the performance and the players, I can’t fault them. We came here to have a go at them and we did that. They caused some problems to us just before half-time for ten to 15 minutes, but other than that we were in control of the game.”
“If it was 2-1, you would think we would have a good chance at home, but it is an uphill chance for us now. We can be proud of the performance, but disappointed with the result. “You have to say they are a quality side,”
“We have to give them respect and on the break they are going to be dangerous at St James’, but we showed signs tonight that if we are ambitious and we can hurt them.”
Thanks Alan.

somebody should tell alanweoperateatahigherlevelthaneverton, a game lasts for 90 minutes.
we played well in total, 50 minutes, and we were gash for the other 40 minutes.
i think that’s the difference between good sides, and also ran’s, they manage to kill the game off, when they are on top.
cisse had a few chances to put them out of the tie, and when the ball hit the post, you could sense that was the turning point.
steven taylor’s antics are becoming pathetic, although last night’s am dram, was still not as good as his dying swan against villa, all those years ago, so he hasn’t improved as an actor.
he can have no arguments about the handball, it was where the linesman had a good view of it.
the bloke is a liability at times, he just has that vacant look in his eyes, and you just know he’s going to do something stupid.
santon got himself into a pickle down the flank, and the stupidity of the back pass, was ridiculous.
that brings us onto el gobs***e, he prances backwards and forwards with his arms folded, occassionly crossing out letters on his piece of paper.
you would think with that kind of industry, there would be some kind of grand plan.
nope it’s seems for all his jotting down of words, amounts to, if in doubt, lets throw shola amoebi on, who basically kills any momentum, and slows the game up, with his constant fouling.
alan pardew has no idea how to change a football game around, and frankly, i’m getting tired of his lame excuses.
benfica’s manager took of rodrigo, who looked a threat, and replaced him with lima, who had an immediate impact.
alan, this is called football management and tactics, you should try it sometime.
the good thing to come out of this, is more and more fans are starting to see this sham of a manager, for what he really is.
his giving it large, came back to haunt him again, as the team who would finish 9th, beat the team who are in the bottom six, alan you are one utter dickhead.
i will fly flags and have a street party, the day this chump finally gets his marching orders!
