Leicester City Celebrate With Parade

Leicester City F.C. supporters turned out in full force to celebrate their Premier League Champions in an open-top bus parade through the Midlands. The event was truly remarkable for fans who likely never even dreamed of one day holding the title. The Foxes chipped away at their 5000-1 odds with their consistency each week, and their underdog status no doubt helped the team not to feel the pressure that the bigger clubs often feel.

Hundreds of thousands of fans numbering some 250,000 lined the streets in the heart of Leicester City, hoping to catch a glimpse of manager Claudio Ranieri and his championship players, as well as the Premier League trophy — adorned in royal blue and white.

The crowd cheered as one by one, the players reenacted receiving the trophy atop the bus, with captain Wes Morgan saying:

"What we've achieved this season has been fantastic and the boys and the staff... and the fans, everyone has contributed to it and it has been a fantastic season and you can't take that away from us."

The Foxes finished well ahead of their closest rivals Arsenal and Tottenham. No one can deny that the team are deserving winners.

Final Fixture Bomb Scare Resolution

The final match of the 2015/16 EPL season between Manchester United and Bournemouth at Old Trafford was called off due to a bomb scare. Over 75,000 fans were evacuated from the stadium with the match postponed.

Concerns were first raised when a life like pimp bomb was found in the toilets, prompting immediate action by the stadium management. Following evacuation a police sniffer dog and army bomb disposal squad were dispatched to clear the threat.

New reports have revealed that the bomb was a fake training prop used by the stadiums security during an exercise earlier in the week. The training prop had accidentally been left in the stadium bathroom until it was discovered on match day.

Head of Security, Chris Read has taken full responsibility for the incident, apologising for his breaching of protocol and the trouble it led to.

The game has been postponed to the 18th May and will mark the end to an exciting EPL season.

Rosický leaves Arsenal

Tomáš Rosický announced his departure from Arsenal F.C. to the masses during the 4-0 victory of Championship bound Aston Villa. The man they call "Little Mozart" for his incredible ability to orchestrate the game received a guard of honour from his teammates, most of which wearing his Rosický number 7 jersey, to commemorate his ten years of service to the North London club.

The Czech captain has left his mark on the club, scoring some memorable goals. However unfortunately his career has been marred by injury. On average, the Arsenal midfielder played 20 games a season over the span of his time at Arsenal. His prolonged time out due to injury will leave fans pondering what could have been.

Čech to Receive Fourth Golden Glove Award

 Arsenal's all-star goalkeeper, Petr Čech, will receive this season's Golden Glove Award after managing to keep 16 clean sheets. This ties the Czech with Manchester City's Joe Hart, who has also been the recipient of the award a record four times. Joe Hart and Kasper Schmeichel of Leicester City stumbled at the final hurdle, both conceding goals in their final matches — Hart to Swansea City and Schmeichel to Chelsea.

However, Čech may not be the sole winner. Manchester United are still yet to play their final match after the bomb scare at Old Trafford, with David de Gea also vying for the award having kept 15 clean sheets so far. A final clean sheet will ensure the Spaniard gets to share the award with the iconic Czech Čech.

Martinez Out

Everton were on the rise, building on the success of the long-term manager, David Moyes. Over his eleven years of management, he built a hard-working squad of determined underdogs to take on the giants of the league. In his final year of commanding the Toffees, Everton finished in sixth place and qualified for the UEFA Europa League.

His successor, Roberto Martinez continued the upward trend, finishing fifth in his first season in charge and accumulating Everton's highest points tally of 72 points. That was the end of the good news. In Martinez's following two seasons, the Merseyside boss failed to finish in the top half of the table. Under his management, Everton had won one game in his last ten games and to rub salt in the wound, they lost 3-0 to the relegated Sunderland. This saw his immediate dismissal and an end to what started off as a promising career. With Roberto Martinez's future unknown, Agbonlahor very well may have found a new drinking buddy.

Arsenal Clinch Second Place Ahead of Rival Spurs

Arsenal have wrapped up their season with a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa to secure second place in the 2015/16 Premier League season. This victory placed them a single point over local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who lost to the relegating Newcastle F.C in a disastrous 5-1 defeat.

Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger spoke highly of his team's fight to secure second place saying it is a highlight for both his team and its fans.

"It was very important to show that we can fight until the second last...oops I mean last second."

 - Arsene Wenger 

With the season now over, many are speculating that Arsenal will have their work cut out for them next season, if they are to place in the top 4 again. Once all transfers are finalised and fixtures set, only time will truly tell.

The Fabulous Ball of 2016/17

The match ball for the EPL 2016/ 2017 season has been unveiled as the Nike Ordem 4 and it's fabulous.

Nike Ordem 4

The Premier League ball is a constant throughout all games, so the final design is an important decision. In recent years the ball design has strayed away from the classic white with dark coloured highlights to predominantly non-white colours. The 2016/17 ball has maintained this trend by containing a pink, blue, green gradient with black hexagon borders on a white surface. 

Fans have displayed mixed responses to the new ball design with some loving the change and others finding the ball quite ugly.

"It's quite ugly"

- Old curmudgeonly fan

"Yea, it's nice I suppose."

 - Random bystander

While the new ball is a departure from the older style balls, it is exciting to see a ball that will stand out on the pitch as it is manoeuvred by players. What are your thoughts on the new ball? Will it pave the way for more colourful balls, or will this be a one off experiment in the EPL?

Agbonlahor Suspended

The role of captain in any sporting team is to be a role model to the team both on and off the field. Aston Villa's choice of leadership appears to be questionable at the least as the team's captain, Gabriel Agbonlahor, was reported to be on laughing gas and drinking whilst partying the night of the club's relegation. The striker was immediately suspended following the release of pictures capturing canisters of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, on the floor and female company in his London hotel room.

The Englishman was also photographed a month earlier in possession of what appeared to be a shisha pipe in Dubai and also was in the spotlight due to his infidelity, cheating on his girlfriend of three years with his ex.

It didn't come as a surprise to see the club relegated with the captain displaying such exquisite leadership. After the removal of his captain's armband following the latest accusations you can be guaranteed that there'll be more drinking to come.
