I know people will have picked up on my comments about not caring about the result against Arsenal, which were, of course, a joke," Pardew told the club website. We want to end the season on a positive, to finish in as high a position as possible and to give the fans something to cheer about on the final day of what has been a frustrating season.It is definitely not the case that I would be happy for us to lose 4-0 against Arsenal on Sunday. I simply want our players and fans to be able to enjoy the game without looking over their shoulders.Arsenal will be doing everything they can to achieve a Champions League spot and we won't make it easy for them, make no mistake about that.Even though we are now safe, we will be putting in the same effort that we would for any other Premier League game.This is a game everyone at this football club wants to win.Newcastle lost 3-0 to Sunderland and 6-0 to Liverpool before a draw against West Ham and victory at QPR made them safe.The Newcastle manager made the remarks after the 2-1 win at QPR had secured their Premier League safety.He said: "Our last two results at St James' Park - against Sunderland and Liverpool - have been nowhere near good enough, and Sunday gives us the chance to put that right.
