I'm not watching the game but apparently that penalty came from a dive. Still fucking shocking though, 3-1 down to 10 men Newcastle

I can only see Vines on Twitter and Mitrovic's challenge looked like an extremely bad one. May also mean we're stuck with him for a bit, given he's banned for the first 4 games of next season.

Still, nice of Gini Wijnaldum to turn up now it no longer matters.

Fuck.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything. They'll do a controlled explosion and then find out exactly what it is they just blew up.

Villa are seriously shit, as if we needed more proof, Giroud hat trick and now even Arteta has scored on his farewell.

Amazing how we can only get 2 points against Aston Villa and then score 3 goals against Spurs with ten men.

Still, its been a daft season. So why not leave the league in such an absurd manner.

We conceded as many goals against Newcastle this season as we did against Leicester, Arsenal & Man City combined and also took more points from Man City than we did from Newcastle, Everton & West Brom combined. What a fucked up team I follow.

Any Arsenal fans worried that after Giroud's hat trick today Wenger wont bother signing a striker?

Few rumours of the 'bomb' being an elaborate hoax or prank. I guess its good to hear, in a way.

Update: Experts carried out a controlled explosion at OT on what has been described as an 'incredibly lifelike explosive device'. #mufc

"Incredibly lifelike explosive device" is a very strange statement, but it does appear to somewhat confirm a rumour that it was not a real explosive device.

The experts' assessment has now concluded and found that the device wasn’t viable. A full search of the stadium is ongoing. #mufc

I think the second tweet makes it clearer that they don't want to guess at motivations. Whether it was a hoax or whether it was a genuine attempt to kill people its a relief to know that it would not have worked.

This is true. I guess all we can do await to see what the official investigation into this reveals, and what the motivations of the person who left it there were.

Maybe that'll stop the bizarre quantity of jokes into all this, which were going on live during the initial evacuation of the ground. Or not.

Today - with no pressure and a positive atmosphere is the most fun I've had at a football game in years.

Genuinely felt like no nasty undercurrent - and was just ultimately fun.

Or not:

As @MikeKeegan_DM has reported, the device at Old Trafford was mistakenly left on the pipe during a security drill on Wednesday. #mufc

I mean, tbf, I would say they were right to call this off, but this is also very darkly hilarious. GMP have confirmed this was a device being used to train sniffer dogs, which really does raise questions as to what the hell they were playing at.
