Kevin Nolan: "Even Alan Pardew said after the game, 'I know a lot of it was for Chris, I know a lot of it was for yourselves to prove to a lot of people' - because we want to get away from that 'Loony Toons' tag, we want to get away from everything being up in the air at Newcastle.
"We want to stay away from that part of the game. We want to just focus on our football and let that do the talking, and we did on Saturday.
"Derek Llambias came down, fair play to him, and told us the reason (for Chris Hughton's sacking).
"We will get on with it and that's it. We had our say, he had his say.
"We shook hands and now it is all about Newcastle United because we all want the same thing."
