Evening StandardChris Hughton should have every reason to be angry. Following a 15-year coaching career at Tottenham, he was finally handed a manager's position at Newcastle after Alan Shearer failed to keep the club in the Premier League at the end of the 2008-09 season.
Not only did Hughton bring them back up with 102 points but, by early December, Newcastle were mid-table. And, what's more, in the match that matters most to the fans on Tyneside, the Geordies beat deadly rivals Sunderland 5-1 at St James' Park.
