If man city win it doesn't matter when man Utd play the game - it'll just be a formality game!!!
Not really, as it has ramifications towards which teams play at which qualifying round of the Europa League.

I know they hate Van Gaal but trying to blow him up is a bit extreme.

Commentators saying a suspicious device has been found, which is why match at Old Trafford has been abandoned.

Swansea equalise and then the ref rules disallows it for a push which doesn't look as though it occurred.
Maybe they have found mourinho's contract

Think this may be a forerunner of what happens in the Euro's

Don't need bombs, just the suggestion of one will cause maximum disruption

If the match truly is abandoned then I feel sorry for the travelling Bournemouth fans. Can't be the easiest of journeys.

In the 70s I was at a Sunday league cricket match in Yorkshire; ground was full and announcer came on and said they had a warning there was a bomb in the ground (this was in the years when there were Provisional IRA bombs on the mainland and even more deliberate Provisional IRA false alarms). Announcer said they thought it was a false alarm but they were leaving it up to us, the crowd, to decide what to do. As far I could see, no one moved; it was, after all, a play off for third place and we have always taken our cricket very seriously in Yorkshire. Oh, we lost ...

No, it will have to be rearranged so that there is a reasonable chance Bournemouth fans can actually get to the match.

They will want things wrapped up and the curtain brought down on the season, no way will it be in ten days time or anything.

Haven't leagues got to be wrapped up as well about 4 weeks before the euros or something like that as well

That is fair, best time I think is after the cup final.

Their is also the implications of knowing what euro league round you enter at so that will be another reason why the game will not be replayed after the cup final

Discussions will have to occur with, among others, the police, who have to manage the traffic and crowd, coaches have to be booked for travelling fans and so on. No idea when it will happen, but it will not be tomorrow.

It'll probably be played Wednesday/Thursday to give people with tickets time to sort annual leave, book coaches or arrange refunds !
