Well surely they knew there was a trainING exercise and that it involved realistic fake bombs ha. So when ones left behind they must know.

Man U have offered refunds for all ticket-holders for yesterday, plus free entry for tomorrow night. I assume they will be looking at getting the cost back from the security company. I'll be keeping my eyes open for any opportunity to get there myself as many people will, presumably, be unable to take time off at short notice.
In the meantime, Bournemouth have nowhere to train today as their training pitches have been dug up. Some players are also having to make last minute changes to their holiday plans.

North Ferriby United have made it into the Conference/National for the 1st time in their history, and Maidstone are back into it as well.

Bournemouth are providing free coach travel to Old Trafford for ticket-holders. All I need now is a spare ticket!

Well done to Newcastle for giving Arsenal the Runners Up place, a much needed strong drink tonight to celebrate. Trust Spurs to f*** it all up in the last match, good for Arsenal though. That's a result for me. I couldn't recall you being an Arsenal supporter, but you still need to strengthen. I think this was one of the most interesting Premier League seasons for a long time though, and maybe it won't be so easy for teams to get to 71 points anymore as there won't be so many easy games. If this was a poor season for Arsenal then what about Manchester City and Manchester United and even more so Chelsea?

North Ferriby United have made it into the Conference/National for the 1st time in their history, and Maidstone are back into it as well. As i'll explain in the predictions thread at some point this week hopefully, Ebbsfleet really have thrown it away this season.
No disrespect to Dover, Ebbsfleet etc but for me Maidstone are the biggest non-league side in Kent. They have a ground that holds 3000 and have averaged 2200 this season with plans to expand to over 4000. I doubt any other Kent club comes close to that, especially ratio of gates to capacity. It will be interesting to see how they adapt to the Conference next season. Read an article, think earlier this season, when it came across that if it wasn't for the ground and the events they hold there finances may be a problem. I don't think their owners have particularly deep pockets, which came as a bit of a surprise to me given how quickly they've risen.
Think this was the article that I read www.kentonline.co.uk/kent-business/county-news/achieving-goals-on-and-off-43748/

Martin has mentioned being an Arsenal fan a fair bit (along with Gillingham as well), he just mentions it in the FA cup predicta thread (last season)!

First 2nd place finish since 2005, but fewer points than either of the last 2 seasons, however there have been lower points totals during this period.
The relatively poor goal-difference in 2012 and 2014 come partly from the fact that they suffered 6-goal margin defeats in both those seasons.
Other than that, 2014 is the best recent season albeit they finished only 4th and at one point Everton had a chance to deny them even that at one point.

The second half kicks off - and Sevilla have scored with the first attack! It's now 1-1.

1-3. Liverpool have fallen to pieces in the second half Their defending is absolutely shambolic. It's almost like a different team has come on the pitch for the second half.

My last post in this thread tonight!
Liverpool got beat, 3-1, and deservedly so. They were dreadful in the second half.
Well done Sevilla.

Didn't watch it, but a mate said they attacked the Liverpool left back as that was the weak side?

Yeah Moreno was at fault for most the goals. But they did waltz through the middle a few times too and Liverpool thought they won at ht and just nevercame out 2nd half.
