The big orcs lived more out in the open, and did war a lot more often and were more daring and evil. The goblins were perhaps a byproduct of orcs, and they were smaller, sneakier, and not as strong.

Besides, why are we arguing about this? It doesn't matter. This is a lore-text, and perhaps EVEN IF goblins and orcs are sort of similiar, he wouldn't know too much. This was his first time seeing them, save in stories and tales I think my quote was pretty clear. Goblin is the English word for Orc. Azog is called both a Goblin and an Orc. Uruk-hai are described as Goblin-soldiers at some points. Orcs and Goblins are the same, and Goblins are only small and sneaky when they live where they are naturally small and sneaky. They can also be big and strong.
