They never are and that's my point. People still make comparisons when situations are never the same and it has always been the case. Dont understand why you dragged red nose in to this really, it's a totally different thing. What im comparing is two managers who have had about the same amount of games each with NUFC during the same season (Pardew a few more) About the same squad with everyone fit and no suspensions, where Pardew has as good if not better points/game than Hughton. And this with Hughton having a lot less injurys/suspensions and been at the club for some time before this season started compared to Pardew who came in in a difficult situation in the middle of everything.

It doesn't work like that though, Ferguson is supposed to be the best manager in the country based on him having different resources to everybody else. It's not exactly a comparable situation is it?

He was supposed to have been an upgrade, our league position suggests that he's not. I'm not contending that point though, the decision to sack hughton was ridiculous, but at the same time Pardew has come in and done a decent job. I think there is some underestimation of the fact Pardew had to pick up a group of players who were no doubt in shock and probably didn't agree with the removal of Hughton either. Pardew has done well; time will tell if he spends whatever money he gets well. Well said.

As The Prophet once said, sacking Hughton was ridiculous, but imo Pardew has been the better of the two. Not by very much though, whether you want to call it an upgrade or not is another matter.

Overall they have when looking at the table, dunno about their injury record though.

I just don't get it how you and some other people can compare the two considering the difference in resources (players) available.

He was supposed to have been an upgrade, our league position suggests that he's not. Seriously, get a fucking grip man.

Kicking Pardew out? Yeah that would be the best decision ever

With the players we have had on the pitch for the 2nd half of the season we have overachieved This

Seriously...

Better being a NUFC fan than a Birmingham/Blackpool fan i guess. Disappointing end but let's try and look forward.

Players went on fucking vacation in the second half!!!

Wanna smash something!!! Fuck fuck fuck!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tack Olsson

Probably rented to show there's decent looking creatures at Sunderland games.

What did he do?

Depends on the quality imo and how much money we have for other positions.

Payet and Menez. Not saying it's them.

Scored against PSG yesterday.

Nope

Where i looked yesterday it was 4pm uk time, double checked and still 4pm (5pm in Sweden)

Not a central midfielder like. Nope, more of a winger/tre quartista type of player. Brilliant but very up and down.

Hargreaves? Give me a break
