    Bournemouth on top again just at the moment.

    A win for the second-placed side could be massive as they look to secure promotion back to the Premier League.

    Bournemouth now make THEIR first change.

    Jaidon Anthony takes the place of Siriki Dembele, who has had a good game for my money.

    Was that the chance?!

    Morgan Gibbs-White is in on goal but Mark Travers races off his line and stays big to deny the Sheffield United man.

    Bournemouth win a corner as the pendulum swings back in their favour.

    Oli McBurnie powers it away for the home side.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Bournemouth

    The fans have been right into this since the start.

    The Blades are unbeaten here at Bramall Lane since October and you can see why with this kind of backing.

    The referee awards the Cherries a cheap free-kick and the home fans let them know that they think he might have got that one wrong.

    Jimmy Flynn: Ask the Huddersfield team of 94-95 about the secret to Warnock's success and they may say 'eggs and sherry'! As a punishment he gave each player a raw egg cracked into a glass of sherry to down in one. They won the match and had to keep up the tradition until they lost.

    Robert Norton: For all his moaning about refs, he seemed to get a lot of decisions!

    If anyone is going to welcome Warnock's retirement it'll be football officials!

    We're asking for your favourite memories of Neil Warnock's long managerial career after he announced he won't be taking on one last challenge again.

    PLAY TO THE WHISTLE!

    Siriki Dembele has the ball down on the touchline and the home players think it's out.

    But the referee doesn't agree.

    The Blades have all stopped as the Scottish forward looks to advance on goal.

    He's eventually crowded out by home players.

    CHANCE!

    Sheffield United forward Morgan Gibbs-White shapes in a brilliant cross to the back post.

    Ben Davies is all alone and should do better as he sends his header off target.

    John Fleck sends a great cross across the face of goal.

    Sadly, it's his own goal. His attempt to smash the ball against a Cherries player to win a goalkick nearly goes VERY awry.

    Teddy: As a Forest fan I always remember the story Warnock told of his days at Notts County. County trained on the banks of the Trent, Forest at their training ground. As Forest returned, Clough would make a point of walking his team through the middle of Warnock's session.

    Mo: Keeping any comments about Neil Warnock and his retirement clean is surely disrespecting the man’s name?

    Fair to say Warnock was known for using... colourful language at times.

    Veteran boss Neil Warnock has announced his retirement at the age of 73 so we're asking you for your favourite memories of his long and storied career.

    HT: Sheff Utd 0-0 Bournemouth

    Carl Asaba
    Former Sheffield United striker on BBC Radio Sheffield

    It's been a good advert for the league. I think Sheffield United have been the better team, they have had the better chances and shown more intent.

    But Bournemouth are a good team and have had their moments.

    Both teams are trying to win and it's when they're attacking that they both seem the most vulnerable.

    A point for both sides would be decent but they are both out to win this.

    Goalless at the break.

    It's been as competitive as you'd have imagined pre-game.

    Lloyd Kelly sliced a clearance against his own crossbar and Morgan Gibbs-White forced a decent save from Mark Travers in the Cherries goal.

    Either side of that Bournemouth have looked the more likely to open the scoring.

    Massive 45 minutes coming up.
