Who thought we'd be in a relegation dogfight at Christmas? It didn't come into my mind whatsoever, but this shambles of a season continued at Barnsley on Saturday...

It's hard to say, but it's the truth. If Sheffield United don't book their ideas up they're only going one way, and that's down.

This season has been a total embarrassment. We have no divine right to stay in this division, and there's no doubt people would have touted us for a play-off battle before the season got underway, not a relegation scrap.

Gary Speed looks set to leave the Blades for Wales after managing only 18 games at club level.

This season has been a nightmare. Here's a couple of stats for you: We have the worst goals per game record of any team in England and less shots on goal than any other team in England this season.

16 goals in 20 games played is nothing short of disgraceful.

United entertain high-flying Swansea City next week and, come 4:50PM, we could in fact be rock-bottom.

Our demise is concerning. Fans are turning their back on the club, our home support and away support are both suffering, but it's unsurprising and understandable.

Did I think we'd be 22nd heading into the Christmas period? Not a cat in hell's chance. Do I think we could do the unthinkable and get relegated? Yes.
