“We are a bit worried about Gouff. That is why we took him off. We needed him in and around the team, he obviously offers us some goals.” Gouffran last scored on Boxing Day, 15 games without a goal.

He was taken off at 0-1 against Southampton and dropped, effectively blaming him for a 0-4 defeat.

Following our 0-3 defeat to Everton. "I'm pleased because it gives me access to the dressing room, which I like to operate in and I like to think I have some influence in. I'm looking forward to being back in a changing room that I know well. In terms of my own standing in the game I need to make sure that with the experience I have got, I use it in the right manner. I'll be focusing on that and making sure that the team's winning mentality doesn't drop off." Next 2 results. 0-4. 0-4.

"Everybody knows I'm a winner."

The stupid bastard doesn't understand that by using the 46 points excuse he's admitting that he can't motivate his players, something that he's been accused of in the past and some have said isn't true.

The 5th image doesn't look too bad on my search.

It's no surprise that the clueless, negative bastard of a fraud hasn't the first idea how to get the best out of a flair player.

Always has.

The message this gives out is "more of the same."

It's far too late for that.

Said that before he passed. He was such a leader of men on the field and seemed both intelligent and humble enough to be willing to learn. Going from Pardew to Speed would have been like winning the lottery.

Your memory's shot mate, he was a fully grown man when he first signed for us.

I stopped reading after the bit in bold.

I was OK with Hughton getting sacked here in some ways as an upgrade would have been good for the club. To sack him and replace him with our current fraud is beyond belief.

After losing to Man U. “The last few results have been tough games for us. The opposition have been above us and we’ve not had any breaks. First goal was essential for us and we didn’t get it." Liar. Before we played Southampton. 8 Newcastle United 9 Southampton

From .com: Chris Hughton's last fourteen games: 13 points (7 losses, 4 draws, 3 wins. 10 goals for, 20 against) Alan Pardew's last fourteen games: 13 points (9 defeats, 1 draw, 4 wins. 9 goals for, 27 against) Edit, I've seen it's in the Hughton thread, it should also be in here.

Christ, my exact feelings.

I've already given him mine so can't do anything in that respect, I can still decide not to go against Swansea.

He was.

That's what you get when you spend 4 out of 5 training days on defence.

How bastard ironic, "we're desperate for free points."

He's averaging less points per game than Hughton was when we sacked him during our first season up.

Our shitty managers record in the league: Played 131, Won 50, Drew 29, Lost 52, Goals for 171, Goals against 202, Points 179, Points per game 1.14.
