River Plate.

Kind of ironic since the rules for relegation were changed back in the 80s to save them from the drop. What goes around comes around I suppose.

I went to the first game of the season in 2007, this when the barras bravas traditionally appoint their leader for the season. This is an important gig because that means they generally control the catering, away travel etc for the season i.e. get rich.

They didn't arrive until well into the match which I thought was weird. It turns out they were all outside the stadium negotiating who should be the new boss. In reality this means they were riotting and stabbing each other.

Am I right in thinking they actually did quite well this season but it was their record last year that relegated them?

Something like that. The average points total is totted up over the last three seasons if I remember right. As I said, this system was hastily brought in back in the day specifically to save River from relegation.

It's a bloody stupid system. Almost makes the SPL seem sensible. Only almost though.

They should get them water cannons down the take that gig. We could claim the guiness book of records for the worlds biggest wet tshirt contest!

So this as a good case to prove karna?

Yeah, heard that and couldn't work it out at all. Can they come back up straight away or will they have to wait a few years with that system?

[Dave Cooper please]

No, it's automatic promotion from the second division. The average points system was only bought into the first division to save the really big clubs if they happened to have one bad season.

The whore that birthed him and his sister's pussy - a fans reaction to watching his team go down!

[pauliewalnuts]

^^ I just came on here to post that.

That's the Argentinian Risso.

[Sam Smith]

Absolutely brilliant! Multiple birthing whores???

River Plate keep selling all the stars players and eventually it bite them hard as they won't be able to find/develop decent replacement

Just like an English Premier League Team located in Aston!

Superb!
