Returning to London after a weekend away, I got on the tube at the same time as Shefield United fans returning home after their Championship play-off final at Wembley. I approached one fan, who was holding a limp team-flag and asked him the score, “lost one nil” he replied. Well, after all the whingeing and the pocketing of £25,000,000 (from West Ham, ed.), Sheffield United, the Blades, failed at the last hurdle to make it to the Premiership and I’m delighted.
