I would have said before today that Newcastle would win it easily but after today I am not so sure! I thought Shearer signing a new contract would give all the players a boost but this has not been the case! Just seen a video of the fight as well, the were a few punches thrown but most of it seemed to be pushing.

What do you reckon will be the punishment Ste?

Norwich City

After West Bromwich Albion have beaten Everton I think it is fair to say that Norwich City are relegated. I just hope that we can keep our best players and return to the Premiership for Season 2006-2007.

Lol its mathematically not over yet.But,practically,I think it is....who knows,maybe they'll go on a winning spree.Also,they are yet to play West Brom and Palace,right?So if they win those,then they may stay up.

I think the fight between Dyer and Bowyer was well waht can you say? Dyer should have less of punishment because he didnt throw any punches...as for the loss, i think that was the performance of an un-inspired mid-div team, they will look different in the FA cup and UEFA....hopefully

Well,I dont like the way Souness and Dyer are trying to blame Bowyer.

Here's what we know about the fight so far:

1.Dyer and Bowyer dont get on very well.

2.Because of that,they weren't passing the ball to each other.

3.Bowyer got especially angry at one stage when Dyer didnt pass.

4.Because of that,Bowyer shouted something at Dyer.

5.Dyer made an obscene gesture to Bowyer.

6.The Fight Started.

Now,if you look at the video carefully,you will notice that just after the Villa players hold Bowyer,Dyer throws a punch,though it doesnt catch Bowyer.

Therefore,I think that both men should be fined equally.

They should be banned from playing in the remainder of the season.

Maybe a 1 match ban in the FA Cup and a 1 match ban in the Uefa Cup.

And of course,they should be fined.

You cant just go around fighting when your on television.

A fine of Six Weeks wages, believed to be up to ?250,000, is the punishment for Lee Bowyer. I don't think that is at all enough. Some children use him as a role model, and he was on television. A ban and more of a fine would have been better. I am ashamed to share the same first name as him. :

Thats disgraceful.

I dont believe that Bowyer is taking all the blame :

Dyer should also be given a fine of Six Weeks.

What they both did was just disgusting.Especially as it was on television.

That sets a terrible example to younger watchers.

I think Sven should kick Dyer out of the England Squad.

Imagine if Dyer gets away!

I agree!

Bowyer has blamed his anger on splitting up with his fiancee, (this is what i have heard on talksport) I think Bowyer has been made the scapegoat to try and save Kieren Dyer, as i think Newcastle will keep Dyer and sell Bowyer at the end of the season. I think they should both be banned for a long time like Cantona was.

That is exactly what I am disgusted with.

If I were in Bowyers place,I would have quit the club instantly if something like that was done to me.

Would you believe it,they've even filed a defense case for Dyer,saying that he didnt throw a punch.

The point is,Dyer was involved in a brawl.It doesnt matter HOW he was fighting.

Because of this,I feel Dyer should be fined more heavily.

And also,some bad news for Chelsea fans:

Mourinho apparently is furious at the way Kenyon and Abramovich have kept quiet about the whole issue.

He is considering leaving the club.

I certainly am upset about this,but I dont think Mourinho will leave.Kenyon sure does know how to convince people

He managed to get Robben to come to Chelsea instead of Manure.

Now THAT was the best move of the season

Yeah true, i think the fight was wrong yes and both should be fined equally. I dont agree to the same extent everyone is saying about role models
