The main point is that he doesn't have 2 games left to make up two points as you can work out points per game.

 

It's a tad unfair though. Hughton gets 16 (19) games, whilst Pardew gets 14 (15). Whilst the number of games is taken into account in the average, the fact is that Hughton has had more opportunity to get points on the board than Pardew has.

 

Adding cup games could be controversial but they are games played and part of our season.  It could be argued that Hughton had easy games in the cup, so did Pardew.  In all games Hughton has the better record of the two if you award points for draws and wins as you would in the league.

 

Hughton

Pl: 19

W: 7

D: 4

L: 8

Points - 25

PPG: 0.76

 

Pardew

Pl: 15

W: 4

D: 5

L: 6

Points - 21

PPG: 0.71

 

If that is still the case in four games time, then I'll hold my hands up. But for me, as things stand, there's nothing between them.

 

Considering Hughton had Carroll for the bulk of his games, I'd say it's pretty decent what Pardew has done.

I'm turning this off like.

 

He's doing his best to dampen any expectations we have.

 

Compare that to listening to somebody like Keegan talking.

 

Like "Maybe the owner thinks we can bridge that gap - but we can't,"? ;)

You know what I mean man.

 

He isn't inspiring me one bit.

 

When you listen to Keegan talk, you're hanging on his every word.

Already downplaying our chances of making big signatures in the summer.

 

Great.

 

Why can't we just sign people like everyone else manages to, Alan!?

 

Did he define 'big'?

I didn't catch it, but that sounds like he means we won't be signing 'big' names - where does that suggest that we won't sign anyone?

I said 'big'.  He was saying we have to wait and see how things evolve.  Sounded like he meant 'see if anyone else signs them first'.

Enrique hasn't been offered a deal - him and his brother said 'we'll talk when Newcastle are safe' and the club have respected that.

 

We're looking at buying players whose contracts are running out.
