Pardew's hopes for revenge presuppose the continued presence of the Tyne-Wear rivals in next season's Premier League, something which is currently far from certain.
Despite Sunday's famous victory, Sunderland remain only three points clear of the drop zone with Newcastle just two points better off, and both still have a significant amount of work to do.
Newcastle head for West Brom on Saturday, where a repeat of last season's 3-1 victory would be more than welcome in the circumstances.
However, West Brom, who have taken just a single point from their last three games, will be keen to address that situation in front of their own fans.
Pardew will at least have a week to work with his players having seen many of them head off on international duty last month, and then have to balance the demands of their Europa League quarter-final double-header against Benfica with league games against Manchester City, Fulham and Sunderland.
That could prove particularly important for men such as Mathieu Debuchy, Cheick Tiote and Hatem Ben Arfa, who have missed out in recent weeks through injury.
Indeed Ben Arfa's appearance as a substitute at the weekend was his second inside four days after just one in four months.
In addition, Pardew will hope to be able to bring a new energy to the legs of Yohan Cabaye, Moussa Sissoko and Papiss Cisse, whose weariness has become increasingly apparent.
Pardew said: "We certainly can do a week's work with Hatem and Debuchy, who had his first game, and Cheick. We will do more work with him.
