This following has been collated from various places, but hopefully gives you an idea of what was discussed last night during the interview with APee...........
From the Sporting life............
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is determined to end the club's wait for a major a trophy within two years.
The Magpies last lifted silverware in the 1969 European Fairs Cup Final, and have not won a domestic prize since they claimed the FA Cup for the last time in 1955.
However, after a rousing start to the new season, which sees them sitting in fourth place in the Barclays Premier League table and preparing for a Carling Cup fourth-round trip to Blackburn, Pardew is hoping he could be the man to end that drought.
Answering fans' questions on BBC Radio Newcastle on Thursday evening, he said: "If you are asking me what do I want in the next two years, I would like us to win a trophy. That's something that needs to be ticked here.
"If I can do it, it will be absolutely magnificent with the team; if I can't, we want to get as close as we can, to be competitive in the Premier League and keep pushing for a cup, because they are not easy to win.
"One or two of the top, top teams start focusing once they get nearer the final. The best team comes out and it gets harder to win.
"That will happen in the Carling Cup, of course, the further you go, the better the opposition are going to be."
Newcastle have undergone a fundamental financial restructuring since they suffered relegation at the end of the 2008-09 season, but with the break-even point close, Pardew insists their masterplan is not simply to tread water.
He said: "We are desperately trying to bring success here under the financial plan we have, and I think we can.
"That's the important point: it's not a financial plan for non-success, for mediocrity. It's not.
"It's to try to win a trophy, to try to be competitive and try to keep our best players once we have got ourselves in a good financial position.
"That's where we are and we are doing a super job."
Key to the club's hopes of success is retaining their top players, something they have been unable to do in the recent past with Andy Carroll and Jose Enrique.
Pardew admits they are vulnerable to massive bids from the Premier League's big guns, but is hoping success on the pitch can persuade players to stay at St James' Park, with skipper Fabricio Coloccini the latest man to enter contract negotiations.
The manager said: "I have got to be honest, I think we are okay, that's about the only sign I can give you.
"You have got two parties here you have got a club offering a contract to Colo, but really it's about Colo. If he agrees to the contract, then all well and good.
"It's difficult because his agent is Argentina-based and doesn't have particularly great English either, so we are waiting for him to come back across, and we think we can get the deal done."
Asked if interest from higher-profile clubs could affect the situation, Pardew admitted: "If he takes the shine of [Manchester United manager Sir] Alex Ferguson or [Manchester City boss Roberto] Mancini, then we will have a problem.
"But the more success we have, the more chances we have got of the player actually saying 'I'll stay'.
"The financial position we are starting to get ourselves into gives us a chance to maybe compete a little bit stronger for those players who are threatened.
"That's why this season is very, very important.
"At football clubs, when you get the feeling we have at the moment, if we can keep that, then we are going to have a successful year, I don't doubt it."
From the Northern Echo.................
He said: "I think my relationship with the fans has changed. Newcastle fans may feel some pride in this team and they are feeling that we are all in this together.
"There is a good feeling around the place with everyone. That happens at every club when you are winning games. I live in the area now and I am settled in the area. We are now just looking forward to the next batch of matches."
After Wigan's visit to St James' Park, Newcastle travel to Stoke after next Wednesday's Carling Cup tie at Blackburn. Then, once Everton have travelled to the North-East, Newcastle face three tough matches against Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Throughout that run Pardew is hoping Danny Simpson stays fit, having become a mainstay of the Newcastle defence.
And, despite the interest shown in him from Aston Villa on August deadline day, Pardew hopes Simpson shows between now and the end of the season that he deserves a new deal.
The 24-year-old's future has been brought in to question again this week when he told a magistrates - when he appeared in court to try to avoid a six months ban from driving for speeding - he had worries over his future.
Simpson, who has had concerns over his baby daughter than was born prematurely, said: "I have 18 months on my contract and I don't think it will go past that."
But, speaking yesterday, Pardew said: "I think, basically, he had some bad advice. Unfortunately for Danny at the moment, he's had problems with his child and it's been a very difficult situation.
"It's been a really big battle for the baby, him and his wife. It looks like he is coming out of that now. He feels a little bit let down (because of his comments) in himself. But it's nice his home life is back on an even keel.
"He has been a great player for us and he will continue to be going forward. He wants to earn a new contract and if he keeps playing like he is, there is a good chance he will get one."
From the Express............
NEWCASTLE manager Alan Pardew believes he has started to win over Magpies fans who were underwhelmed when he was appointed following Chris Hughton’s dismissal last year.
Pardew, above, took over from Hughton to little fanfare but guided the club to a 12th-place finish last season.
And following their unbeaten start to this campaign, Newcastle currently stand fourth in the Premier League.
Pardew accepts he was not a particularly popular choice when he started at St James’ Park, but fans have now begun to warm to him.
He said: “I used to get a lot of fans saying, ‘Well, good luck anyway’. I’m not sure if it was a good luck message or not, it’s probably just the way they say it up here. But I didn’t know if they meant it.
“The majority of people I bump into now are pleased with the way things are going and how the team plays. That is music to any manager’s ears.”

There was also a response made about Nile Ranger who according to the manager needs to become more professional both on and off the field. He has the talent no one at Newcastle is in doubt about that, but his attitude towards training and other aspects leave a lot to be desired. The latest in a long list of incidents was mentioned indirectly. APee acknowledged there are many distractions for young players at somewhere like The Toon, however they must recognise they are in a very privileged position. He referred back to days when players often came from non league backgrounds and were doing other jobs while trying to break into the professional ranks. Ranger has been returned to the Reserve squad for training and games so he can prove himself not only to APee but the rest of the coaching staff.
Apee also knows the squad lacks cover for the centrebacks however he stated the importance of not jumping the gun when it comes to bringing in new players, for any position. There's an agreed process which has to be followed and whether supporters understand that or not that's the way it is at The Toon. He also stated whoever comes in must fit a set profile.
High praise for Raylor, Stroller, Mr T, Cabaye the Lad, Marvelous Marveaux and Shane Ferguson. Plus the current situation with Harps which appears to be acceptable to all concerned.
Inevitably there was also refernces to Mikey and Decka although that was kept to a minimum despite some very direct questions.
All in all APee came across very up beat and answered the questions in a confident manner. I got the impression there's a lot of good stuff going on at the Club from junior level right the way up to the first team. Pardew, Carver, Stone, Carr plus Pedro and Donachie are all gaining the trust of our most benevolent owner.
On a final note he is taking his time over Hatem Ben Arfa, but rates him highly and when ready will play him just behind Ba as a number 10.................. That time may not be far off and could even happen this weekend.
CWL
I've seen Newcastle United win silverware!
