The only thing that would suck would be less games on TV. Though if one of those clubs got relegated, you'd magically see more Championship games on TV over here. Kind of what happened in Scotland when 3 of the top 5 supported teams found themselves in the 2nd tier last season.

That would make the promotion playoffs bonkers, I'd imagine. Semi-related to that, this is why I kind of wish Leeds would get back up to the top-flight somehow since just about everybody hated Leeds back then. Plus, another rivalry would be revived!

I would argue that if someone wouldn't, then they're not much of a supporter right now.

This is why I believe in the supporter ≠ fan definition. Supporters are for life, fans are just there to enjoy.

Massive blow to Newcastle, Tim Krul is out for the season. He's done his cruciate ligament.

I think Darlow is injured too so they are left with Elliot and a guy they just recalled from loan. When you are down at the bottom you need all the luck you can get. Newcastle aren't get that at the minute.

Newcastle relegation confirmed. Krul has kept them in countless games they had no business being in over the years. They're toast.

To be fair, there are very few teams over the past few seasons more deserving of relegation than Newcastle

Sunderland would like to have a word with you.

No way. West Brom has been a mid-table side for the past few years more than capable of catching a big club sleeping. Shane Long was a thorn in Chelsea's side for years when he was there.

They finished 13th last year, 17th in 13-14 season that team is all over the place, one year they are decent then they have a season like 13-14. They should have been relegated in 13-14 but barely survived due to Norwich losing to Arsenal on the final day(Norwich had West brom beat on GD)

11th, 10th, 8th, 17th, and 13th. Outside of the season you mentioned they have pretty much been the definition of mid-table.

Ok you have a point. I couldn't access the tables before the ones I mentioned.

I said very few teams deserve relegation more than Newcastle, I didn't say ZERO. Yes, Sunderland and probably Villa deserve to be there as well. Newcastle and Sunderland are basically exact opposites most of the time. Newcastle elects to get all their points in the first half of the season, then goes on have some of the most shockingly terrible form in all of England for the second half. Sunderland does it the other way around.

Both clubs have become a bit of an embarrassment, maybe relegation would be good for them.
