Stoke City 0 - Sheffield United 0

It was evident why Sheffield United were that high up the league. Fortunately they couldn't handle Stoke's ability to battle. No clear chances for the Potters and very few for the blades.

In a match of poor quality the points were shared equally.

One specific mension from me. The Referee was poor in this game, he really wound up the fans and it was mostly from not recognising that Sheffield United were diving everywhere. Some of what I saw was discraseful and deserves a look into by the FA and perhaps a few cautions to certain players.

Stoke's future in division one is beginning to become less and less likely as teams around are starting to bag the points.
