Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew was happy to take a point off Joey Barton's QPR last night.
Newcastle hung on for a goalless draw to extend their unbeaten start to the season.
"I am pleased with the point - we didn't deserve any more," admitted Pardew. "It was a difficult evening for us.
"It wasn't the Joey Barton show, because we didn't want that. For us, it was about making sure he didn't grab the headlines tonight and we managed to do that.
"After the game, I wished him well and shook his hand. He will be a good player for QPR. He will play better than he did tonight, especially at home. I wish him well."
