I've managed to keep my blog football free so far, but as a proud Sheffield Wednesday fan who's side almost scraped into the playoffs following a terrific run of results at the end of the season, I was delighted to see both West Ham and Wigan win yesterday to consign the Blades back to Championship football.
I was therefore expecting to read today that Neil Warnock would be saying something along the lines of "he was disappointed to go down but then everyone expected them to at the start of the season, and to take it to the last game...yadda yadda yadda"
But to read that he's blaming it on Liverpool and Man Utd fielding weakened teams against their rivals, and then the board claiming it was all to do with West Ham not being docked points, all sounds a bit like sour grapes to me. I'm wondering whether it would have been mentioned if they had managed to gain a point at home to Wigan and stayed up?
Sorry guys, its all about winning games in football, and you didn't win enough of them to stay up. Just look at it this way, you've got two more opportunities to beat us next season...or not!
