New legal action

Championship Sheffield United

comment on the article

It's all getting a bit silly for me now.
1) Were West Ham let off lightly by the PL? Yes
2) Was the decision yesterday a disgrace? Yes
However, we need to get on with it a focus on next season. Other than the cash I personally won't miss the Prem (don't get me wrong I hope we get back) as I found it all a bit sterile and often boring. I was glad we went to arbitration, but we are obviously won't get anything from the Premier League. Lets get on now while most of the football world seems to be on our side, more action will end up being damaging to us, I fear.

F.A. Cup 3rd Round Draw:-

Ray Wilkins: "Number 46; Sheffield Utd."

John Barnes: "Will play number 60; West Ham."

All the F.A. Bigwigs: "Oh Sh*t!"

Football is a funny old game, believe.

This result was inevitable really, I find myself laughing at the state the premier league is in right now though lol! They league must learn from this and the rule book must be changed so that there are clear cut punishments for various wrongdoings rather than just using the ‘appropriate’ word throughout. We all know the punishment to West Ham was ‘appropriate’ to the Premier League chief as the club are a far bigger financial asset to the league than SUFC, sadly it was never appropriate to the rest of the footballing world! The way things are going with Tevez at the moment however I have a feeling West Ham have shot themselves in the foot… anyone for a points deduction at the start of next season??

It was certain individuals who struck the deal and the Premier League should have gone after them not the club,especially as they've now left. SUFC had as has been said the easiest run in,West Ham didn't so SU deserved to go down although i'd have prefered the VERY quiet Wigan instead.
SUFC are not the moral crusaders they try tell us they are because like Wigan if they're have stayed up we'd have heard nothing. Stop bitching SU,you just aren't good enough.

Murphys new TV Ad:

"Like my Sheffield Utd, im not bitter"....

poor ole SUFC, dragging this on, giving fans false hope and disalusioned grounds to argue amongst footie fans, not to mention wasting silly amounts of money in a worthless bid to turn it around. Silly. Shame.

Anyway, all done now. Nevermind eh. smiley

How many more times do we have to correct lunatics? Middlesborough were relegated because they got less points than anyone else. 3 points were lost when THEY DIDN'T TURN UP TO A GAME!!!!! FFS what do you idiots that support Shefflid Utd want, any team can decide which games they play and somehow the magic fairies will come along and give a win to the 'fairest' team?

It's not down to the opinions of WH supporters as to who goes down and stays up, it's down to 38 games with points to be won and lost. U had a manager that bottled a 10 point clear lead over the dangerzone and lost/drew to get less points that others.
That's how football works - 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and nothing for a loss and u don't get to stay up because you're 'nice'. If u mugs had overturned the games won, drawn and lost then that would have been an injustice and cheating and you should be ashamed. But nothing new there eh?

I`m wondering if FA can sue Sheffild United,as they signed contract with FA that they will obey by any decision FA makes.Clearly Sheffild United breach contract by taking FA to court,so I`am wondering are there points deduction for that.
