So, is the fat lady singing yet?
Well I could have sworn it was over but many sources are reporting that Sheffield United have launched an appeal in the High Court! This is all getting a bit silly, but it doesn't reflect well on West Ham even though the club's new owners have been completely blameless and open.
However I checked out the SUFC website and lo, they released this statement: "Appeal NOT made. As a point of clarification for our supporters (and media), Sheffield United have NOT lodged an appeal following the Arbitration decision on Tuesday - despite reports to the contrary. The accurate explanation is that Sheffield United's lawyers had to inform the Premier League that the Club has applied to find out if the club can lodge an appeal through the Civil Courts."
So they haven't... yet.
In other news, Teddy Sheringham's off to Colchester for free because he'll be able to get out his walking frame more often, and Nigel Cheerioker is staying in claret and blue but a slightly dodgy version (i.e. Villa) for 8.5 million times what he's worth.

West Ham have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Richard Wright on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old has moved to Upton Park after leaving Everton at the end of last season and becomes the Hammers' third summer signing.
With Roy Carroll seemingly on his way out of West Ham, Wright has been signed to provide competition for current first-choice keeper Robert Green.
Wright was a member of England's squad at Euro 2000 and has won two international caps.
He was capped while still at Ipswich and, after helping the Tractor Boys qualify for the UEFA Cup in 2001, earned a £6million move to Arsenal.
Wright earned a Premier League winner's medal during his one season at Highbury before moving on to Everton.
After a series of injuries, Wright was squeezed out of the picture at Goodison Park last season following the arrival of Tim Howard from Manchester United.
A club statement said: "Richard will be aiming to get his Premier League career back on track under Alan Curbishley."

"Walk Wright in, step Walker out"
Does this mean Jimmy's played his last for West Ham? Or will Carroll leave, or will they all stay?
