Emotional scenes at EPL stadiums

It has been a rather curious season for the English Premier League which winds up its fixtures tomorrow. With Liverpool comfortably taking the league title and the relegation issue settled many weeks ago it could have been a rather tame end to the season.

But thanks to the “chase for Europe” the last day could provide considerable drama. There are all sorts of permutations which we won't go into here. Suffice to say there are five teams chasing three Champions League spots and things are so tight that the two that don’t make it will be very disappointed. The key game would appear to be Nottingham Forest at home to Chelsea, a match both teams need to win.

There were emotional scenes at several Premier League grounds last weekend, all of them marking an “end of an era.” Everton's final game at Goodison Park was certainly a stirring occasion. Easing the pain of the move was the news that the “The “Old Lady” would not be demolished but become the headquarters of Everton women’s team.
