Campbell looked slow to react for the first goal and headed the ball into Pennant's path for the second in the 4-0 thrashing at the Britannia Stadium. Pardew said: "I do not think Sol Campbell played poorly. I thought he gave a good account of himself." He added: "We have to make sure we are a whole lot better in our next home game. We have Wolves next and they've had a great victory (against Aston Villa). That's a big match now." Ricardo Fuller was involved in an unseemly exchange with Joey Barton and the Newcastle midfielder responded angrily, prompting a brief scuffle among players. Pardew said: "It wasn't a confrontation with Fuller. Fuller just went up and kicked him and he walked off. Joey just asked him 'why did you kick me?"' Meanwhile, Pardew has promised to look into claims that injured players Leon Best and Stephen Ireland were spotted in a Newcastle nightclub. He said: "That is a situation I have to look at on Monday morning. It is news to me. "It is not an ideal situation when you have a game on Saturday, even though they are injured. I will look at that."
