The latest fit of amateur dramatics sees the Blades wanting compensation.

Sheffield United have announced today they plan to sue West Ham for the cost of their relegation from the Premier League.
The Blades recently failed in their High Court bid to force new Premier League disciplinary action against West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair but now plan to take a new course of action

Toby Craig, a member of the club's legal team, said on Thursday: "After consideration and discussion with our legal advisers Sheffield United are today initiating legal proceedings against West Ham United as we seek substantial compensation for our relegation from the Premier League."

The Blades have put the cost of relegation at between £30million and £50million.

They certainly hold a grudge in Sheffield (well ... the red and white side of it)!
