So at long last, after our final game of the season away at Southampton last weekend, the end of this amazing, incredible, unbelievable and frankly unforeseeable campaign has finally arrived.

As Blades fans, we’ve treated ‘Murphy’s Law’ as our club gospel over the past few decades, having become accustomed to the “whatever can go wrong, will go wrong” mantra. To be fair, we’ve also had good reasons to believe it.

The list of our misfortunes is indeed varied and lengthy... relegation in 1994 in the final minute at Chelsea when all seemed safe. Constant play-off heartache. Last-day relegation again at home to Wigan. The Tevez saga. Nigel Adkins and Co... you get my drift, and there’s plenty more I’m sure!
