David Moyes has refused to get involved in a war of words ahead of tonights with Newcastle United despite Alan Pardew claiming at the end of last season that his side were operating in a different league to Everton.
The statement has been brought up once again but Moyesy is non-committal.
Moyesy said: "People can say what they like in terms of where Everton are compared to Newcastle. I thought they did great last year as they kept it going when people thought they would fade away."
"For a long time they were very close to being a Champions League team. But we have been in strong positions. They finished above us last season. You are only as good as your last one and in the last one they did better than us. Over the years we've done pretty well with the resources we have available to us."
Well said Moyesy.
This was not the first time Pardew has had a dig at us, at West Ham he once said they gave us a "footballing lesson" after beating us 2-1!
Let's hope our boots do the talking tonight and Pardew is firmly put in his place.
