I feel sorry for Houghton, Pardew and Newcastle fans. Fans for being treated like dirt, Pardew for the situation he's walking into (and having to work with that **** Ashely in charge), and Houghton for being treated like ****. Pardew's not such a bad manager, but for christ's sake. Houghton was doing a great job in my opinion. But apparently it's been in the managers circle for the last few weeks he was under pressure. What a disgrace.
