Programme notes via the Echo:
The manager says he has "plenty of sympathy for the players and my staff who are not getting the rewards their efforts have merited".
He goes on to praise Puncheon and Fonte before saving his biggest tribute for Lambert. Davis is described as "the best captain I have ever had" and Lallana has the "potential to join Lambert among this club's future greats."
Nicola Cortese and the backroom staff are praised for their efforts in ensuring over 40,000 fans got to Wembley.
Pardew closes by saying the players will be back in 4 weeks time for a mini pre season training spell.
Echo says withdrawn due to an advertising dispute. They have a copy of the programme and say there was nothing wrong with Pardew's comments in there.
Stu was also right about Liebherr's travel arrangements.
