2015/2016 Premier League
-
Opps, the "Old Trafford" bomb was a training device left there after an exercise. Terrible way to treat your fans, especially the two guys who flew especially from Sierra Leone and Mumbai to see their team in action. Even worse way to treat the Bournemouth fans, who travelled hundreds of pounds for nothing.<br><br>
Manure should forfeit point from the match and face a hefty fine. -
I'm hoping that in the long run Spurs will learn more from that defeat, than Arsenal do from their victory. They've already learnt for example that they're not that hot without Dembele and Alli. Reinforcements are needed,<br><br>
As for Old Trafford. What a gigantic clusterfuck. A private security firm must be looking at paying out some hefty damages.<br><br>
United have refunded all tickets and will give those ticket holders free entry to Tuesday's rearranged fixture. It will cost them around £3m. -

<p>Spurs did a brilliant impression of being non-Spursy all season - and then it all came in a rush right at the end. With 4 games to go, many "pundits" (pundits = the same people who have been spectacularly wrong with all predictions this season) were proclaiming that Spurs would pick up 12 and so Leicester would need at least 8 to win the title. As it happened, Leicester did get 8 ... and Spurs got 2.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>August 2014 - April 1, 2015 Leicester had 4 wins and 18 defeats.</p>
<p>Since then Leicester have had 30 wins and 4 defeats.</p>

<p>It is totally crazy.</p> -
Straw clutching of Arsenal proportions. <br><br>
Leicester pretty convincing in the end. Good season. Let's hope next year doesn't revert to type -

<p>If you're referring to me I didn't say it wasn't disappointing!!

<p>This is Leicester packing out Victoria Park!</p>

<p>A classic game of two halves. Sturridge robbed Lovren of a goal which would have made it 2-0. Liverpool fans will feel hard done by with some 50/50 hand balls in the box that weren't given but those are the breaks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hooroo, I think Man City would still have qualified for the CL. A moot point now.</p> -
<p>And in the final death throes of the season ......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Real Madrid take the UCL on penalties after a 1-1 draw with their cross-town rivals. Pretty much 100% different to predicted as Real played on the break after an early goal and Atleti bashed at the door and eventually bagged an equaliser after missing a penalty. In the penalty shoot-out, Juanfran was the only one to miss and Ronaldo got to take his shirt off - he'd been ineffective during the game and looked injured.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hull are back in the Premier League which is a bit tedious - it means 2/3 of those relegated last season have bounced straight back (Hull & Burnley) and there's a fair chance they will go straight back down again without some investment in talent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meanwhile Barnsley achieved the not inconsiderable feat of being bottom after 20 games and getting promoted via the play-offs. They are back in the Championship. The final domestic game is AFC Wimbledon v Plymouth to go up to League One. Which would put Wimbledon in the same division as the franchise MK Dons that originally replaced them.</p>
