Jimbo 172 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Cardiff 4-1 Luton Cardiff returned to the top of the Championship thanks to a fine display from striker Michael Chopra. Luton were on the back foot from the 10th minute when Lewis Emanuel was sent off for handling Ricardo Scimeca's goal-bound header on the line. Darren Purse converted the penalty, before Paul Parry curled home a second. Rowan Vine pulled a goal back for Luton before half-time, but Chopra stabbed home a Steve Thompson flick-on and then converted Malvin Kamara's deep cross. The handsome win, coupled with Birmingham being held 2-2 at home by Ipswich, means the Bluebirds top the Championship on goal difference from Steve Bruce's side. Only an injury to the industrious Parry, who limped off after 83 minutes, spoiled Cardiff's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsaw's Juggernaut 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yeah. I liked Chopra, but he was never a premiership striker. I'm glad he's found his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyG 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yeah. I liked Chopra, but he was never a premiership striker. I'm glad he's found his level. He is better than Rossi and Sibierski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is better than Rossi and Sibierski Based on how many matches involving Rossi it's likely you've seen, I'd say that statement was opinion rather than fact.

Isegrim 9680 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) I have to say that I am still a bit undecided about Chopra. He might still become a decent Premiership striker, but he never really got the chance to prove himself for Newcastle. Maybe if had been given only half the chances Amoebi got...

Isegrim 9680 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 BTW I went to watch the Baggies today. McShane looks like a really good prospect as a central defender. Sewpa Kev is so past it, paster is hardly possible. He has the pace and movement of a pott whale on a overdose of sleeping pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44107 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Nowhere near good enough for the Premiership, but I'm pleased he's doing well and has found himself a proper football career at the right level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
