Biggest awards in womens football. Plenty to come, but we start with football and what a bank holiday it was for the fans of Huddersfield Town. For the first time, they were promoted to the Premier League thanks to a nail biting, Penalty Shoot Out Victory over reading in the championship play off final. In a moment, well go live to the town where thousands of fans have been lining the streets to pay tribute to their team as they parade with their play off trophy. But first, Patrick Gearey looks at how the terriers have hit the big time. One click, £170 million. No pressure. No problem. Christopher schindler had sent Huddersfield Town into the elite into the premier s league. They were led there by a young german manager, david wagner, who had been fairly unknown here. This is a fairy tale and normally it is not usual to do this. I am one of the happiest men on the planet. I am proud of what the players have done and everyone who has supported Huddersfield Town. They want hired a manager at younger than david wagner who led them to the fa cup and the english titles, something that had never been done before. As english football move from towns to cities, huddersfield declined. They fell out of the top tier in 1972. Later they we re of the top tier in 1972. Later they were earned the bottom division and in administration. Then a lifelong fan became chairman and yesterday he was an uncomfortable spectator. Danny ward, the goalkeeper, was the hero. Our wage bill is small but our heart and desire to win is outstanding. We did it. Huddersfield will start next season as they did last is one of the favourites to go down, just how they seem to like it. Great scenes for them there. It is a four day holiday in huddersfield. There is a Victory Parade for David Wagners side through huddersfield and its where we find our sports correspondent, katie gornall. There have been lots of clubs with parades celebrating promotion over the years does this one feel different bearing in mind how long huddersfield have been away from the top division . It feels very special here. The team are now onstage celebrating with theirfans are now onstage celebrating with their fans who have turned up to celebrate promotion with their side. They have lined the streets all day. They have lined the streets all day. The sense i get from speaking to fa ns the sense i get from speaking to fans is that these celebrations are so fans is that these celebrations are so unexpected. They did not think they would see their side be promoted. As you heard there, 1a yea rs promoted. As you heard there, 1a years ago the side were in administration in the bottom tier of the football league. This season they had one of the smallest budgets in the championship, what they have achieved in getting back to the top flight achieved in getting back to the top flight of english football for the first time in 45 years is nothing of remarkable. Plenty of happy fans there, but is there a sense that this might be a once in a lifetime celebration for them . The once in a lifetime celebration for them . The fans once in a lifetime celebration for them . The fans realise getting to them . The fans realise getting to the Premier League is one thing and staying there is another. When you look at the Play Off Finals recently, the three most recent to be promoted have gone back down to the championship. David wagner with ascot about how they would cut it in the Premier League and he said he was not thinking about next season yet. A great celebration here at st george s square. They are a great club and they do a lot for theirfans, they are a great club and they do a lot for their fans, but what can we expect next year . David wagner is highly regarded. When you think about it, he was a left field appointment when he was brought in 18 months ago. They have already been singing in huddersfield that david wagner is better than you can clock. That is how highly they regard him here. He has taken on a side with a very small budget and has done a lot of wheeling and dealing. Danny ward who made the crucial save yesterday was on loan from liverpool. There is a lot of admirers coming here today. They are not looking to the future very much at the moment. Thank you very much from a very loud huddersfield. Well, whether you sit in the wenger in or the wenger out camp, the news remains the same. The Arsenal Manager wont be leaving.

Having arrived in 199060 headlines who did not recognise them, he shook up the english game and revolutionised arsenal on and off the pitch. They League Titles followed and the fa cups, the most recent against chelsea on saturday. A triumph they may have proved crucial in the french man agreeing a new two Year Contract with the support of the clubs order. He needs to spend, he needs to be given funds and he needs to use them because we keep hearing that there are funds there and he does not go infor are funds there and he does not go in for the big players, for the players that are earning astronomical money.

His Side Play Scotland and france next month and southgate has also admitted that he didnt inform the england captain of his decision before the squad was released. So, does rooney have a future with the National Side . In the end, i think there are only so in the end, i think there are only so many times that you can speak about the situation. We have been very clear. I am very conscious, this is the first question you asked me, it is always a big story when you do not select him. I would like to do that in the right way, equally.
