READING were relegated from the Barclays Premier League despite a convincing victory over Derby at Pride Park.

The Royals put in a performance to be proud of as they swept the Rams aside with relative ease. James Harper curled home to hand the Royals a deserved half-time lead before Dave Kitson, Kevin Doyle and Leroy Lita made it a second-half rout.

FANCY PANTS!

DERBY fans turned up in fancy dress — but it was quite appropriate that their team wore all black.

Paul Jewell's side are officially the worst in Premier League history. This horrific season has seen them earn a solitary win and rack up minus-65 goal difference.

DIABOLIC-AL

GEOFF SWEET at Upton Park

FICKLE Hammers fans laid into Alan Curbishley.

They booed his substitutions, and booed their team off before trudging home with heads bowed.

Curbs was treated to a loud rendition of "You don't know what you're doing" and everyone seemed against him even though Carlton Cole scored the winner two minutes after coming on.
