Arsenal hero Paul Merson is delighted for Brian McDermott over Reading's promotion.
Merson wrote in the Daily Star Sunday: "I know him and he's a lovely bloke who's doing a phenomenal job.
"McDermott hasn't spent millions but he has a team full of pace, and that is priceless.
"To win 15 out of 17 matches is some going. It's a remarkable run, and they deserve to go up. They have handled the pressure unbelievably well.
"I think they will be OK in the Premier League because of their pace. It scares defenders and it gives your own defenders breathing space. You can give it to your wingers and let them race it out of the danger areas.
"They will look at Swansea and Norwich as the models to follow."
