Andy Carroll's X-rated apology divides opinion after Championship relegation

Ex-Liverpool forward Andy Carroll has divided opinions with his "committed" social media post after Reading were relegated from the Championship on Thursday night.

The Royals' fate was confirmed following Huddersfield's 1-0 win over already-promoted Sheffield United. Reading, who were handed a six-point deduction earlier this season, needed the Terriers to lose and hope they beat Huddersfield on the final day to stand any chance of survival.

However, Neil Warnock's side edged out the Blades at the John Smith's Stadium courtesy of Danny Ward's long-range effort. This meant Reading would join Blackpool and Wigan in League One next season, despite once looking like play-off contenders during the first-half of the campaign.
