on a different tack, I was wondering about the re-arranged gamed & when ir might get played. Sjy were saying that its likely to be after the Cup Final, ie 2 weeks time, but then there are international matches.
I have a theory that the Premier League could do a stich up. looking at the table the outcome of the game now really only affects Man U & S'hampton for European places at the top & Palace & W Brom for places at the bottom.
Man U cant now get a Champions League spot as Man Citys goal difference is 20 more than Man U, so Man U can only get a Europa League spot - which they can get if they win the FA Cup, Whats the chances that the Premier League will wait to see what happens in the Cup Final & if Mah U win let todays result stand as nul & void with the Saints getting a Europa spot for being 5th
Soton are in the Europa league already (due to City winning the League Cup there's a spare space), so it makes no difference to them.
The only affect will be PL prize money, with a win Bournemouth could jump 2 places, while United could go up 1 place
I think 5th place is automatic europa and 6th place is europa qualification
Excellent work by united. Now they know that they cant get Champions league, they can rest all of their players for the cup final on Saturday. Gives them the best chance of beating Palace, top work.
BBC news reporting it was "a training device accidentally left behind a private security company testing with sniffer dogs" possibly employed by Man U themselves. Massive lawsuit waiting to happen here...

Was a dummy left in 'by mistake'.

You couldn't make it up really.
Someone is in "can I just have a quick word I my office" in the morning...
Match abandoned because of a device placed by the club for training purposes?
This can't be true.
As has already been mentioned someone is going to be hung out to dry for this.
