last game.

In the wake of his team's latest shellacking at the feet of Luis Su?rez, what is otherwise a bit of a shoulder-shrug of a fixture as far as neutrals are concerned has probably taken on added significance for Chris Hughton.

The poor sod is so nice that the many harbingers constantly (and thus far incorrectly) predicting that he'll be the next Premier League manager to get the sack invariably preface their prophecies of doom by pointing out what a top bloke he is, and they're not wrong. But with fan dissatisfaction growing at Carrow Road, it's difficult to escape the notion that his team have been doing litte more than the bare minimum to keep him in gainful employment up to this point.

The bookies have reinstalled him as the new favourite in the Premier League sack race and if we could find footage of him cackling fiendishly while drowning a big bag of Labrador puppies, we wouldn't feel so bad about predicting that defeat in this match will finally mark the end of his stint at Carrow Road.
