Congratulations to Brendan Rodgers. A thoroughly good guy and an Irish manager testing himself at the highest level of English football next season is a positive.
Commiserations to Reading, especially their Irish contingent. A shame there had to be a loser in the richest game in world football.
Update: Sunderland are officially relegated - as Burton Albion still have to play Bolton meaning one of those teams will reach 41 points, which Sunderland cannot reach.
