Sheffield United come to London...

...with the legend that is Sean Bean at the helm!

Sean Bean has led a delegatioon to Parliament, protesting at the circumstances surrounding Sheffield United's relegation from the Premiership. This, of course, is all revolving round the Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano case, and Sheffield United supporters claim West Ham should have been docked points, and subsequently relegated, after using players who were not properly registered.

An arbitration panel will the claim made by Sheffield United on 18th June. West Ham were fined a record £5.5million, but Sheffield United state that was not enough. There has also been support from other football clubs and fans from the Premiership.

What do I think? I was shocked that West Ham were not docked points, and their recent recovery was down a lot to Carlos Tevez, especially the goal he scored to beat Man Utd on the final day of the season, although by this point he was registered legally. Mascherano's involvement with West Ham was limited to a couple of performances before moving to Liverpool. So yes, I think West Ham should have been docked points, and whoever got relegated in place of them was going to challenge it. Will the Premier League have the balls to change their stance? We wait with eager anticipation!
