Newcastle United fans react to Sunderland relegation to League One

Sunderland will play in League One next season, while Newcastle United appear safe in the Premier League.

A general view of the stadium as players warm up ahead of the Sky Bet Championship match between Sunderland and Derby County at Stadium of Light on August 4, 2017 in Sunderland, England.

Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the relegation of Sunderland to League One.

Sunderland’s 2-1 defeat to Burton Albion at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon has confirmed their relegation from the Championship.

The Black Cats came down to the second tier of English football from the Premier League at the end of last season.

Newcastle and Sunderland are big rivals in the North East, and fans of the Magpies have mocked the Black Cats for going down to League One.

@fun88eng can I request odds? Just wondering on the odds of Sunderland going into administration and being relegated again next year #oddson? #NUFC

Never mind Sunderland fans, if there are any judging by the Home attendances lately, I’ve heard Fleetwood, Doncaster and Oxford are lovely places to visit, every cloud etc!!

A general view outside the ground prior to the Premier League match between Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion at Stadium of Light on October 1, 2016 in Sunderland, England.

Newcastle won promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of last season.

The Magpies are currently doing relatively well in the top flight of English football and appear to be safe from relegation.

It must be bitterly disappointing for Sunderland fans, who will hope that the club make some important changes in the summer and sign players who can get them back up from League One at the first time of asking.
