Alan Pardew would love to guide Newcastle United Football Club to FA Cup glory.

The Magpies have not added to their honours list since their 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup success, and they have not won the most famous cup competition in England since 1955.

However, as United prepare for a tricky fourth round tie at Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion, Pardew is determined to end this silverware drought.

“The cup competitions, I personally really look forward to. We will be sending a strong side to Brighton and hopefully getting a positive result,” he said.

Pardew lost an FA Cup final to Manchester United as a player whilst at Crystal Palace, and as West Ham United manager also had to settle for second best against Liverpool in 2006.
