Pardew Could Be In Trouble

It took place at the interval of Monday night's disappointing 0-0 draw with Reading, and involved Pardew asking Poll for a signal if it looked like midfielder Alex Song would get his marching orders for a second yellow card.

Pardew revealed to the Mirror, "I went to see Graham and asked him to let me know if [Song] was getting close to being sent off in the second half, to send me a signal.

"Graham sent me that signal. He gave me a look. I don't think there's an issue with that."
