Hull City midfielder David Meyler is full of praise for Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew.

Pardew clashed with Meyler on the touchline late on in last month's 4-1 win over City at the KC Stadium.

Meyler told the Daily Star: "People forgot Alan has done a terrific job at Newcastle since he replaced Chris Hughton.

"The last few games haven't gone too well for him but aside from that incident with me and getting beaten by Sunderland, he has done a good job this year.

"What happened with me was a minor incident as far as I am concerned.

"He is a grown man and knew what he was doing but he came up to me afterwards to apologise and that was the end of the issue from my perspective."
