They absolutely thrashed Derby today [the match was not as close as the 4-0 score would indicate :)], and are clearly a viable Prem quality team. In truth, this was one of those years where few of the relegated sides "deserved" it. Throughout the season, both Birmingham and Reading put on fine displays, even moments of brilliance. But the three lowest sides of the Prem must go down, and if a team like Fulham is to have a "Great Escape", then there is a team like Reading, precisely on points with Fulham, who must be cast down into the Fizzy Pop. So now Reading is replaced such dreck as Hull, Stoke, or perhaps even Bristol City..... so it goes. It is sad to see Reading relegated.
