Sheffield United launched an appeal after they went down on the last day of the season and West Ham stayed up.

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

Statement: Sheff Utd media manager Andy Pack

A statement on Sheffield United's website said: "We are obviously very disappointed by this conclusion.

"In particular, in circumstances where the tribunal recognised that the outcome of the decision turned out to be 'unfortunate in the extreme', and that Sheffield United have done nothing wrong to merit this outcome."

...so it would seem, in the eyes of the arbitration panel, that the Hammers' Premiership status is saved, for at least one more season, at any rate

this is a happy joy moment

One in the eye for Sharpe, too

maybe... might also be interesting for others to note. FIFA said they would get involved. Then again, Sepp says he'll investigate anything if there's headlines to be made

Oh, shut up with your whining. You should try being a toffeenose for a day and see how you like being **** on the sole of UEFA's shoe.

whining? where was the whining? We won!

Well, Everton had less right to be in the competition than Liverpool that time, didn't they? I mean, just because your grim neighbours won the competition last time at the expense of playing astronomically well in the League, surely this is reason enough to try and crap on the Toffees? (as if UEFA need any reason to have a go at English clubs

)

Still, the team he beat last season looks to be getting Carlos' signature for next year. In return we've got Scott Parker, Julien Faubert, Richard Wright (

)... pfeh. We'll be Champions next season
