The latter happened. Utd drew 0 - 0 at Selhurst Park but the 2 - 1 reverse at the Madejski sees Reading face two games against Burnley.
Marek Matejovsky score Reading's goal but it was only in colsolation to Keith Fahey's first half goal and Kevin Phillips' clincher in the 60th minute.
So it was the Blues fans celebrating. Good luck to them in the Premier League. Hopewfully we'll be joining them.
Reading finish 4th and now face Burnley away next Saturday and and home the following Tuesday.
The winners face a trip to Wembley to play Preston or Sheff Utd. Quite incredibly Cardiff managed to miss out altogether.
