Sheffield United's bid to regain their Premiership status appears to be 
over after their bid to see West Ham docked points was dismissed.
An arbitration panel upheld the Premier League's decision not to dock 
the Hammers points over the signings of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

West Ham stayed up at the Blades' expense on the final day of the 
season, leading to Sheffield United's appeal.

West Ham had earlier been fined £5.5m for their handling of the duo's deals

What's amazing is that West Ham announced after the decision that Tevez is registered as a player to 
them for the next 3 years... and yet they are struggling to keep him. What does that tell us?

At the end of the day Sheff Utd thrown their Premiership place down the 
drain, threw away game after game
And on the pitch you have to say the Hammers deserved it, their late run was 
brilliant and to do the Double over us and the Mancs is not a bad showing is 
it
I know once they "somehow" beat us at the Emirates that would keep them up

I don't think they would have stayed up if Tevez was banned from playing 
while this whole affair was going on.

maybe not, but then maybe sheff utd wouldnt have been relegated if
they'd managed to score more goals.

theres lots of if's and buts in this case, and all sheff utd could
possibly get out of it now is some form of compensation. they won't
get all of WH's tv money, nor will they get put back into the PL at
WH's expense.

sheff utd have always looked for someone else to blame, but their
deficiencies are there own and aren't of west ham's making.

What's amazing is that West Ham announced after the decision that Tevez is registered as a player to 
them for the next 3 years... and yet they are struggling to keep him. What does that tell us?

At the end of the day Sheff Utd thrown their Premiership place down the 
drain, threw away game after game
And on the pitch you have to say the Hammers deserved it, their late run was 
brilliant and to do the Double over us and the Mancs is not a bad showing is 
it
I know once they "somehow" beat us at the Emirates that would keep them up

I don't think they would have stayed up if Tevez was banned from playing 
while this whole affair was going on.

maybe not, but then maybe sheff utd wouldnt have been relegated if
they'd managed to score more goals.

theres lots of if's and buts in this case, and all sheff utd could
possibly get out of it now is some form of compensation. they won't
get all of WH's tv money, nor will they get put back into the PL at
WH's expense.

sheff utd have always looked for someone else to blame, but their
deficiencies are there own and aren't of west ham's making.

What's amazing is that West Ham announced after the decision that Tevez is registered as a player to 
them for the next 3 years... and yet they are struggling to keep him. What does that tell us?

maybe not, but then maybe sheff utd wouldnt have been relegated if
they'd managed to score more goals.

theres lots of if's and buts in this case, and all sheff utd could
possibly get out of it now is some form of compensation. they won't
get all of WH's tv money, nor will they get put back into the PL at
WH's expense.

sheff utd have always looked for someone else to blame, but their
deficiencies are there own and aren't of west ham's making.

Would Manchester United have won the title if Everton had played their first
choice goalkeeper in that end of season game? Maybe, maybe not. In my
opinion this was a far more blatant infringement of the rules as West Ham's
supposed 3rd party influence was not detrimental to any other team, but
United's "Gentleman's Agreement" with Everton definately was.

*BOUGHT AND PAID FOR*

What's amazing is that West Ham announced after the decision that Tevez is registered as a player to 
them for the next 3 years... and yet they are struggling to keep him. What does that tell us?

I don't think they would have stayed up if Tevez was banned from playing 
while this whole affair was going on.

While i'm struggling with the grammar of Chris F, i do agree with him.

Manure won the title fair and square in the end, every other team has to 
step up, i'm sure Chelsea can step up, i don't think Arsenal can, whether 
Liverpool can is the big question. I'm certain they can step up on last 
season, absolutely no doubt, can we step up enough to be there in the last 5 
games is the big question.

If we have 15+ points by the end of september i think we can challenge with 
the top 2, we will see.

Ren, fair and square?  Hardly.

Remember they didn't just have 1 goalkeeper they had 2 goalkeepers
that they refused to allow to play in games involving them which is 4
games and 12 points.

Thennnn..... throw in the penalties they got for Ronaldive's blatant
cheating then tell me they won the league fair and square.
