    Sheffield about to be mathematically relegated, and good riddance. Pathetic lack of fight most of the season, and Holgate specifically deserves relegation for continuing what is a horrific pattern of basically assaulting opposition players with his awful challenge on Mitoma a few months back.

    @sarigginsUSA Also, they will be the first PL side to ship 100+ goals in a 38 game season.
