Bye Bye Blades
This afternoon, Sheffield United lost their last home game of the season to Wigan Athletic which, put together with West Ham's win at Old Trafford, means the Blades are relegated to the Championship.
Sheffield United were, at one point, ten points clear of the relegation zone, but bad form at the tail-end of the season has confined them to second-teir football. To be honest, given their last four home games - Newcastle, Watford, West Ham and Wigan Athletic - they cannot blame anyone but themselves for their downfall. On the last day, they only needed to avoid defeat to stay up, but couldn't do it.
Still, the fans should look on the bright side of relegation: cheaper ticket prices next year, and two losses to Watford in the Championship!

dg"I feel cheated because yesterday's result was not the root cause of our relegation." Sheffield United chairman Kevin McCabe Dead right. It was the fact that you played poorly for most of the season. I don't understand the whole saga, West Ham paid for a player and then played him, I see no problem with that. Like you say, as it currently stands, my uncle will pay less for his season ticket next year and there will be a couple of Sheffield derbies (just warn me in advance so I know not to go out).
