Football Roundup

The Heroes Of Huddersfield 

There's not been much to report football wise except The League 1 Playoff Final, to which we can say congratulations to Huddersfield Town, a team very well known here at FA Cup Vinyl. The match had to be settled by an astonishing penalty shootout featuring a unbelievable 21 penalties after what was a very cagey, nervous match that resulted in 0-0, with arguably Huddersfield having the better of the chances. Despite missing their first three penalties, Huddersfield defeated Sheffield United 8-7 in unfortunate circumstances for United as the last miss from Sheffield's penalty taker was their goalkeeper Steve Simonsen who performed somewhat fantastically in over the 120 minutes of football at Wembley and kept his side in it, still well done to Huddersfield for triumphing in the all Yorkshire final and commiserations to Sheffield United. 

Hazard A Guess Who He's Signed For

Highly sought after Ligue 1 player of the year Eden Hazard announced on his Twitter on Monday night, that he would be joining recent Champions League winners Chelsea. Despite interest from Manchester City and Manchester United and a few other clubs, Hazard has opted to join the Abramovich empire at Stamford Bridge.

Very interesting signing from the blues, we for one are looking forward to seeing him next season and how he copes with the physical aspets of the Premier League. Especially when he is brutally decked by Alex Song or Marouane Fellaini.

Crewe 're ya? 

Also, congrats to Crewe Alexandra who secured promotion to League 1 after defeating Cheltenham 2-0 in the League 2 Playoff Final with a cracking opener from another sought after player 18 year old striker  Nick Powell rumoured to be sealing a multi-million pound move to Manchester United. 

Gylfi as charged 

To conclude on this pointless post, impressive Swansea loanee Gylfi Sigurdsson has signed a permanent deal with The Swans for  a confirmed £6.8m fee, the club's record transfer fee. Good bit of business from 'Swans-A-Lona' there.

Unfortunately, that's it for the football roundup, we may do more if any good stories come up (I know you're all impressed). Until then we'll be sat here twiddling our thumbs until Euro 2012 starts on the 8th June. *Sigh*
