Alan Pardew: "Overall, I am absolutely delighted with 44 points because we are in the top 10 again with two games to go and we can dream of a top-10 finish.
"I have got the owner investing at the training ground and I have got him investing in players and talking to agents and players, and I want to keep him there, so it was important to get a win.
"Now we need those three or four players. Newcastle are renowned for getting them [the fans] off their seats, and we know that's probably what is missing and is going to take us beyond where we are at the moment.
"That's the type of player we are looking at and hopefully we can bring one or two of those in to add to what we have got.
"What you have to say about this team is that there are no real stars in it, but what they have done is they have had a collective team bond that when the really big game came around - and this today was a big game - we have won.
"That's a good trait to have. The next trait for us is to have a winning mentality and take that away from home as well as at home."
