Pardew still unsure of rules regarding Newcastle finish

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he is not too sure exactly in which competition his side will end up next season.

The Magpies sit fifth on the Premier League table and with Liverpool below them winning the Carling Cup and qualifying for the FA Cup, he admits there is some confusion as to whether or not the North East club are in the Europa League or if they can still qualify for the Champions League if they happen to finish in the top four.

"We are trying to get some clarity from the FA as to what it all means, because we don't know. We will find out at the end of the season," Pardew said.

"The most important thing is to win your games, but we are keeping an eye on the other results, as you would imagine.

"Arsenal losing to Wigan was a big loss for them and puts them in touching distance of the three clubs below them."
