Reading Safe As Disappointing Season Finally Ends
10/05/2018 - Reading finished their hugely disappointing season with an impressive result at Premier League Expand
10/05/2018 - Reading finished their hugely disappointing season with an impressive result at Premier League bound Cardiff City. The 0-0 draw would have been enough to keep Reading up regardless of other results, but with Burton and Barnsley both losing, Reading were always going to be safe on the final day of the Championship season. Cardiff found themselves in a similar situation with Fulham's defeat also meaning they were promoted as runners-up whatever the scoreline with the Royals. With Cardiff already promoted and Reading already safe from relegation, and with home fans eager to get on the pitch to celebrate promotion the last few minutes were spent with Reading just knocking the ball around the defence waiting for the final whistle. That summed up the game perfectly - perhaps with scorelines elsewhere the early pressure quickly evaporated and both teams then lacked urgency and were happy to settle for a point with time running out.
Before the match everyone was expecting Reading to Collapse

06/05/2018 - Cardiff pipped Fulham to promotion to the Premier League as Bolton came from behind against Nottingham Forest to secure safety 2.46pm BST What a breathless final day that was. It was brilliant drama. Cardiff City have been promoted alongside Wolves, four years after being relegated from the Premier League, and Bolton Wanderers have somehow managed to stay up at the expense of Burton Albion and Barnsley, who join Sunderland in League One. As for Fulham, it was a deflating end to their 23-match unbeaten run. They’ll need to dust themselves down for the play-offs. Their semi-final is against sixth-placed Derby County. The other one is between fourth-placed Aston Villa, who will have the luxury of the second leg at Villa Park, and Tony Pulis’s Middlesbrough. That’s all from me. Thanks for reading. Bye! 2.42pm BST Here’s Stuart James with the all-important verdict on Cardiff’s promotion.

Royals Set To Lose At Cardiff But Stay Up
05/05/2018 - Reading enter the final day of the Championship tomorrow knowing that there is still an outside Expand
05/05/2018 - Reading enter the final day of the Championship tomorrow knowing that there is still an outside chance of relegation after a hugely disappointing season. The Royals will be relegated to League One if they lose at Cardiff, Birmingham draw or win, and both Barnsley and Burton also win their games. It's a hugely unlikely situation and the most likely outcome remains a solid defeat for Reading at Cardiff City and Reading staying up thanks to someone else dropping vital points at the bottom of the table.
Cardiff City need a victory to guarantee second place in the table and promotion to the Premier League. Reading are seen as perfect opposition to pick up the three points they need. However, if Reading could somehow cause a shock, then just a single point would guarantee our survival regardless of other results. Sky have chosen to screen the game live (12:30pm kick-off) so they can capture the scenes as Cardiff secure promotion. It will be a strange day for Reading fans if Collapse

06/05/2018 - It was carnival time in the Welsh capital as Cardiff City celebrated their return to the Premier League on a day that felt like a personal triumph for Neil Warnock as much as the club. This is Warnock’s eighth promotion – a record that sees him eclipse the achievements of Jim Smith, Dave Bassett and the late Graham Taylor – and completes a remarkable turnaround since he took over as manager only 19 months ago, when Cardiff were second from bottom of the table.
