essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It looks like quite a few of them wasted 90 minutes of their miserable lives watching Huddersfield get beat last night and they are still trying to convince themselves they sent us down.Is the Premier League this season a knock out competition.

Tom 14011 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 No it's a league system. Bottom three go down, the team finishing top win the competition. It's features 20 Teams that play each other twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 They must be nailed on for the drop now. 20 points from a possible 84 so far. If they keep that up thats 8 points from the remaining games. Third bottom already have 27. Even if they pull their finger out and manage an extra 3 points there is no way 31 will be enough to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's a league system though. Not last season though.The makems reckon they relegated us.I thought you were relegated after playing 38 games and having played every team twice.

adios 717 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I always thought it was 36 matches and then playoffs. Maybe that's what the Mackems mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 37 league games with the makems v Everton a knockout game with us being relegated if Everton don't win.Different rules this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Jason Burt, Chief Football Correspondent 20 March 2017 • 3:55pm Jermain Defoe has admitted that he will probably have to leave Sunderland if they are relegated from the Premier League if he wants to remain in the England squad. The 34-year-old striker has been recalled by manager Gareth Southgate for Wednesday’s friendly away to Germany and the World Cup qualifier at home to Lithuania next Sunday and spoke of his delight. However with Sunderland bottom of the league, despite Defoe’s goal-scoring feats, he conceded that it may be difficult for him to retain his place if he is no longer in the top-flight. “Obviously you have to be realistic and to get into any squad it is based on merit and you need to be playing at the top level,” Defoe said. “When I went to Toronto (in MLS in early 2014) I missed out on going to the World Cup and it was a hard call to take. I would say I probably need to be playing in the Premier League but we will see what happens.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 He's best off praying for continued injuries to Kane and co, as them being injured is the only reason he's made the squad. Getting his excuses in when he walks off at the end of the season mind, imagine the fucking plight of the mackems without his goals man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I was more meaning the plight of them as a team in general as opposed to their position, but aye the position wouldn't change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, just didn't want everyone thinking I was a divvy for thinking their position would change. It'll be even funnier next year when he leaves and they're scrapping to avoid relegation with Burton Albion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob032 38 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I did get a good chuckle when Anichebe had a couple of games and they all seemed to think he was the second coming of Drogba. Big Vic. (They can't help themselves, can they?) Then other teams decided to start marking him a bit and it went quiet again.

The Fish 10857 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I was more meaning the plight of them as a team in general as opposed to their position, but aye the position wouldn't change Of their 5 (five) wins, Defoe scored 3 game winners (Bournemouth, Hull, Leicester) and he rescued a point in two of their 5 draws (Southampton and Liverpool). So instead of 20pts, without Jermaine Defoe they could well be on 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
