Constant snipes my arse, i congratulated them for their win against Chelsea. I defended the smog when the mancs were saying that Richardson was better than Downing and that Fletcher would walk into their midfield. And i've always praised Alex Ferguson.

I don't do "constant snipes".

And the Portuguese doesn't do banter he does annoying.

There are 5 tiers in the EPL - Newcastle are in the third.

Can you name them.

If you split up the teams in to 5 groups of 4, Newcastle would be in the second tier, with Spurs and maybe Everton and Bolton.

@ parky - the tiers are split unevenly

Tier 1: Chelsea

Tire II: Man utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham

Tire III: Newcastle, Blackburn, Everton.....etc...

Tier 4: Portsmouth, Man City, Wigan....

Tier 5: Charlton, S. utd....

Pompey the same as us ? they finished over 20 points behind us last year and they havnt brought that many players in yet, whilst we have really worked hard to strengthen. We are at least on a par with Boro, Everton and Blackburn.

@ sgoater

Pompey are only there because they are owned by a billionaire.

4th tier I define as mid-table clubs that could with luck get a UEFA spot

Dont be suprised to see him at Bolton in the next week.

Richards had a bit of a mare with that goal didnt he goat?

McMahon to be given a chance next time please.

Aaarrggh, don't say that. They'll ruin him, turn him into Davies mark II.

TIER 1 - Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal

Yeah but i dont think there is any difference between Everton, Boro, Bolton, Blackburn and City - look at their squads and they are all evenly matched. There is no way i would consider us to be a level down on these teams. Only Everton have improved out of those sides and they only have 2 strikers in their squad unless you include James Vaughan.

No way are Bolton and Blackburn tier 2 and we are tier 4 - this is taking the piss. Villa tier 3 - everyone said they would go down the other week., how do they suddenly improve so much ?? they havnt signed anyone. Have a look at the Bolton squad, its very thin and they have lost a lot of decent players and signed Tal and Fortune. Blackburn have lost Bellamy adn brought in McCarthy and Roberts ok they are decent buys but i wouldnt say Blackburn have really improved.

It's similar to predicting where everyone will finish, after the top 4-6 teams can be everywhere depending on opinions.

martin o'neill

seriously though, based on the squad, i agree you definitely couldn't put villa ahead of man city at the minute. but i'd say most of the teams put in 2-4 are pretty interchangeable

C'mon mate. You do your fair share of sniping at other teams, like we all do. It's just banter, like Portugese was attempting. I agree with you in general, the kid gets on my nerves, but complaining about that post was out of order IMHO. Nothing wrong with it.

How rusty did the whole team look last night? So off the pace it was incredible.

Moldova deserved to win no doubt

Unfortunately, I expect the 1st team will look equally unconvincing tonight...

And Portuguese is ok- he knows his stuff outside of just the top players and teams, even if he is incredibly ABE (as he has admitted on many occasions..!)

Obispo if i get on your nerves just ignore me then.

Look everyone has their on views just cos i say Newcastle is in the third tier or i think there's other players around who are better than Taylor,Zog,Duff etc etc so what?,thats my view there's no need to thorw your toys out of the pram and demand i get banned.

Well.....I wasn't exactly moldova by that performance.

It's kind of hard to constantly ignore "blah blah blah england blah blah blah WC blah media".

I agree with the rest of your post though. I don't think you should be banned for just that.

the result imho o a degree indicates yet again that the so called great young talent is not as good as we are constantly told by the media, no surprises there then

Peter taylor IMO played the wrong tactics.

I think the players that are coming through are really good though - this result is a one off and can be explained by a lack of fitness

I agree in principle, but in fairness to England, their best youngsters are playing for the national team. Rooney, Downing, Bent and Lennon are all available for U21 caps I believe.
