West Brom manager Steve Clarke has warned his side not to get carried away by their strong start to the season.

Clarke is looking forward to returning to St James' Park where he began his coaching career. He said: "I had a great time at Newcastle. It was very early in the career of my development as a coach. "It was the first two years out of playing. I got some wonderful friends from my time up there. "I still keep in touch with them. The supporters are fantastic, it is a great football city and I look forward to taking my team up there and giving them a game. "The club is still driven by a fanatical support, still driven along the lines of a big club. "They are trying to do it in a different way by giving out really good contracts if you are a manager or a coach. "They are trying to build a bit of stability into a club that maybe has not been known for its stability over the years."
