HUDDERSFIELD  0-0 READING SHINDLER SHOOTS HUDDERSFIELD  TO PREMIERE LEAGUE Huddersfield Town have been promoted to the Premier League for the first time by beating Reading 4-3 on penalties at Wembley on Monday. After a 0-0 draw in 120 minutes, it was a second successive shootout win for Town, who defeated Sheffield Wednesday on spot-kicks in the semi-finals. Christopher Schindler won it after Liam Moore blazed over and Jordan Obita's effort had been saved by Danny Ward. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39995791 MY OPINION I think that Huddersfield going up into the Premiere League is a good thing for football as a small team from a town can only help football. You wonder who they will try to buy in the transfer market and who will want to go on a free.

CONNACHT FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP QUATERS LONDON  0.16 3-1O LETRIM KENNEDY DOUBLE SECURES LETRIM WIN OVER LONDON Without key forward Emlyn Mulligan, who has been ruled out of the 2017 championship due to injury, Leitrim were challenged right to the wire by a spirited London side. Former Tyrone star Owen Mulligan was named at number 26, but started on the day. It was tit-for-tat in the opening stages, but Darragh Rooney slotted home after 22 minutes to give Leitrim a 1-5 to 0-3 lead. Meanwhile, London looked dangerous on the attack. The Leitrim defence were kept on their toes, but handled any potential threats accordingly. Liam Gavaghan and Conor Doran kept the hosts in touch with points as the clock ran down, while they trailed by two heading in for the break. The Exiles hit the ground running on the restart — Rory Mason splitting the posts, while Mulligan stood up to level matters. Liam Gavaghan — who registered eight points overall — and Mason pushed on t...

SOCCER FA CUP FINAL ARSENAL V CHELSEA MY OPINION This to me is a huge match for Wenger as we know that people like Ozil and Sanchez can score the goals but there is something missing in the team. There is a sense that Arsenal could sit and finish in the position they are next season. Conte has introduced himself with a bang with Fabrigas and one of the best strikers in the world at the moment Deago Costa. Another huge advantage is that Chelsea are 18 point ahead of Arsenal. I have a feeling that this could be Arsenes swansong and the players could play for him I say Arsenal 2-1   SCOTTISH CUP FINAL CELTIC V ABERDEEN MY OPINION Brendan Rogers is looking for a treble here and with Leigh Griffiths up front and I think he will play in England soon; Captain Scott Brown and Kolo Toure at the back Celtic have to be the outstanding favourites Celtic were 30 points ahead of Aberdeen as well.  Aberdeen has players like Adam Rooney and Ni...
