LONDON - The English season ended like never before Sunday. A match was abandoned and the stadium seats 75,000 was evacuated after a bomb threat against Manchester United. Leicester City finished 10 points ahead of the rest of the Premier League after 1-1 on the London stage last champions Chelsea exit.
Arsenal did relegated after a dismal season against Tottenham Hotspur finally, as always since 1995 to its neighbors in the standings after thrashing Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa, Spurs and implosion in a 5-1 loss Newcastle United team.
And again, the ramifications were. Manchester City scraped a point in a 1-1 draw against Swansea, which means that no matter what is the Manchester United reached once the suspended game Sunday reprogrammed against Bournemouth, United can now qualify for the Champions League.
But the city to play by using qualifiers preseason when Pep Guardiola, the new coach will replace Manuel Pellegrini next month.
All this has as add a higher performance. Southampton, south of the port city on the coast, which beat the Dutch coach Ronald Koeman Crystal Palace 4-1 and turned in the top six to guarantee him a place in the Europa League.
Koeman, who as always is: to move Southampton Boat depends manage forward to the negotiations in the coming weeks. Everton want him, perhaps Manchester United wants, and there are other people admire how the Big Dutchman calmly manages teams with a limited budget to pass up.
Almost described above everything plunder sports stadiums. The exception, of course, was what happened at Old Trafford in Manchester, when a suspicious package was found in the wells, and the bomb squad had to be called a controlled explosion thereof.
This will have an impact on England. It follows that a similar in Hannover, where a match between Germany and the Netherlands was abandoned shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November last incident. This is less than a month before France held the Euro 2016 championship among 24 countries in the stadiums in 10 cities.
And a year can be set for the postponed match against Bournemouth, United players who now have two major to their national teams for the Euro tournament games were called to play before starting to - The last weekend of Cup next FA and the game of Bournemouth.
The priorities are clear. Safety comes first and is the sad reality is that we live in the time, it does Terrorists threaten our lives, also can make a wrong call.
The bomb threat came less than a week after United was also involved in the disorder of the amount that many hoped a thing of the past. Do not since the 1970s bats as football fans interrupted English football in the way a group called Fans United West Ham have dressed as if they threw bottles and other objects by when West Ham Stadium approached windowpanes the team bus States last week , His attack was the last game delayed at the Boleyn Ground stadium Hammers are played.
In the field more, came with a goal by Kelechi Iheanacho, a young Nigerian 19 years the only point Manchester City to have to get League for next season the status of Champions.
With a little luck, and when the opportunity Guardiola given Iheanacho could be the future of the city.
He stands 6 feet 2 inches tall, and has been on the radar of the top clubs, since he was seen for Nigeria 2013 FIFA U-17 tournament. With a second name of the "promise" Iheanacho who had trained with the Columbus Crew SC in Ohio, as the city has a work permit requests for him to play in England, he has shown this season that certainly knows how to brand. That is, there are more chances of turning the tie missed victory on Sunday. But so has Sergio Aguero, as Pellegrini, coach of the city, initially considered exceptional striker.
In fact Swansea and 1-1 recovered when a free kick by André Ayew hit the net of the head of the defenders of the city Fernandinho Midfield bounced.
Until then, the opposite ends of England, the situation Spurs and Arsenal are developed. Two weeks fans Tottenham dreaming of her first English title in 55 years. When the great success of Leicester frustrated this hope, comforted since 1995. Tottenham popular with the belief that his team would at least finish on Arsenal for the first time.
Even the fragile hope ended on Sunday. Four goals against the hapless Arsenal, Aston Villa condemned includes a hat-trick striker Olivier Giroud is often criticized.
The game of the Spurs in Newcastle, 300 miles north was, in the balance sheet for an hour. Then, after a red card for an ugly foul against Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, the referee gave the home a penalty after what seemed an artificial jump.
Georginio Wijnaldum has that his second of the game. Mitrovic has before his fatal mistake, and later in the game, such as energy Spurs fell more goals Newcastle Rolando Aarons and Daryl Janmaat came.
Tottenham was devastated. His mind was evaporated. And in his 53-game of the season, he was the impression to be regretted that he simply exhausted after the European dream in the Europa League that many go covet - and others consider far from the Champions League.
To the bitter end - or almost at the end, as the luggage Bournemouth Manchester United - the English championship is a window on the world. Most of the time, it's good, sometimes overestimated, and this weekend was on the brink of uncertainty.
