    Reading have just been promoted back to the Premier League. I hope Southampton follow them, they only need one more point to guarantee promotion. Also, really hope West Ham don't get promoted!

    I'd rather watch their blue and white hoops than Q P upyerarcelona <ok>

    Come on Saints, make the 'glory' Hammers sweat for "their" place back at the top table of English football <ok>

    Wet Sham were all over it earlier on in the season but have gone right off the boil. Suspect if they miss out on the 2nd spot they'll struggle in the playoffs too. Well done Reading.

    Looks like West Ham, Birmingham, Blackpool, Cardiff, maybe Middlesborugh in play-offs. No easy ride there.

    I like Reading, used to live near there, nice place, great fans. I see a lot of the ingredients in their club that made our club so successful this year. I reckon they will do quite well.

    That's what I thought. They deserve it!

    They really do deserve it. 16 wins and a draw out of the last 21 games since the start of the year. What a phenomonal run.

    Ditto. I used to go and watch them when I couldn't get to a city game, at the old Elm Park. Always stood in the Tilehurst road end, in the days of Kerry Dixon and Trevor Senior.

    Look forward to seeing them back in the Prem. Also not too far to go for the away game.

    Congratulations to Reading.
    Only downside I can see, is that the to**er that is Ian Harte will be coming with them!

    On the plus side Holt can get his revenge, although he pretty much did this last season when he scored a last minute winner. Was that the game that involved the mcnally throw?

    Really? Reading is a nice place? I lived there for a year and thought it was a dismal place. Nice walks and few decent pubs on the Thames, then nothing else going for it, until the snooker players made the place more lively !!!!!!!!!!!

    I thought they were going to repeat the end of last season, go on a good long unbeaten run but just run out of steam at the end.
    I am genuinely surprised they have made the auto place secure and more so that they did it before Southampton! but genuine congratulations to them and hopefully we can get some payback nest season <ok>
