It wasn't pretty and it wasn't exactly definitive, but Newcastle's delayed victory over Leicester City at St. James' Park was a big moment in the Magpies' season. It represents a much needed first victory, a slight ease of pressure, and further indication that if we stop booing him, Gabriel Obertan might actually be a good player. His goal was a rare high point in an otherwise dull match, and while Newcastle should have had a few more, the team is still some distance away from being worthy of remaining in the Premier League. Pardew seems to think he's no longer under pressure - that clearly is not correct, given that the club still sit 18th in the league, and now face games against Spurs and Liverpool. After that, the mooted 10 game review point will come, and we will truly see what Mike Ashley's intentions are for his manager. Until then, Pardew would do well to heed the positives and the negatives from yesterday's unexpected win...
