Let's be brutally honest. Sunderland look what they are and have been for a while: a side clinging on to their premier league status and reliant on sides even worse than them to be relegated in their place. They would have no problem adjusting to life in the championship, where they would be nothing special.

Leicester so good at doing that.
Saying that, you're always going to get punished if leave as few players back to deal with Vardy as Sunderland did on that occasion. |

With Villa already down, You could have Sunderland & Newcastle joinng them. 3 Big sides leaving the premier league. Most thought Watford, Norwich & Bournemouth would go straight back down.
Amazing season. |

I can see them digging out a result at Norwich next week only one of the bottom three who could still escape I suppose.
All about next week for them |

But that's fine. As much as I hate the fact they've won it, I'm more concerned about us finishing in the top 3. |

It's more a race for CL places, which is depressing because Arsenal and City should've done better. |

Oh, what a miss!
That is extraordinary, the goal was gaping for Rodwell. |

Oh Rodwell, how costly could that miss be for Sunderland's season?!

What I've seen second half referee looks determined to give Sunderland absolutely nothing

I hope history is kind to Leicester and this title is isn't regarded as a fluke.
They are actually a really good side, first XI anyway. |

But I think they're a better side than that. |

And that is that. Quite sobering for the Spurs players to realise they have to beat Man Utd just to pull back to 7 points behind. Quote:
I dunno people tend mock Greece's win in euro 2004.
But I think they're a better side than that. |
