Welcome back down, oh hated Blades
First, as a SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY supporter, I would like to offer a warm welcome to archrivals SHEFFIELD UNITED as they fall through the Premiership trapdoor and find themselves relegated to the Championship.The Blades found themselves in that unsavory predicament after losing at home, 2-1, to Wigan on today's final day of the Premier League season.
That result was combined with West Ham's surprise, 1-0 win at Manchester United to condemn Sheffield United to relegation.
Ha!
Carlos Tevez (pictured) scored the game-winning goal for West Ham right before halftime. I watched the Hammers live on Fox Soccer Channel this morning.
The matter might not be settled, however, Sheffield United might take the matter to the courts. West Ham improperly signed Tevez (and Javier Mascherano, now with Liverpool), and the Blades might sue the Premier League for only fining the Hammers and not docking them the points that could have kept Sheffield United in the league.
As it stands, however, United and Wednesday will battle each other next season the Championship. I can't wait.

Several Premiership clubs are talking about taking the Premiership bosses to court to force them to dock West Ham points. Which would of course rescue United from the drop. Normal course of events I would probably support the docking of the points but not this time specially after the United chairman was bleating that they were relegated through no fault of their own on the news this morning.
