Newcastle boss Pardew blames social media for sack calls

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew believes supporter unrest over his position is overblown. Pardew suspects the source of what had previously seemed mass unrest is social media.

"In today's society with Facebook and Twitter, you get some real radical people and it makes it very difficult for us," he said.

"But the fans waited to see what we could deliver and we delivered a good performance.

"I'm not stupid enough to think they love me, but they showed real love for the club. There was a lot of negativity but most of our fans respected the performance. They were magnificent."
