Hello and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle United versus Tottenham Hotspur. Expect jokes about mild cheddar interrupted by occasional reports on the football match.

Alan Pardew (Newcastle): "'I try to be consistent through the ups and downs of the emotion that is in this city at times. Some of it is over the top, there's no doubt about that. For me, it's very difficult to sometimes isolate myself and concentrate on what's important. But usually, nine times out of 10, it's the next game and I'm pretty good at focusing my mind. I have got pretty narrow vision when it comes to the job at hand."
