Former Cardiff striker Michael Chopra is convinced his old club have made the right decision by appointing Neil Warnock as manager. Dario Saric Jersey . Cardiff last week became the 15th club of Warnocks managerial career after the Bluebirds ended Paul Trollopes five-month spell as boss following a poor start to the Sky Bet Championship season which sees the club languishing in 23rd place. Warnocks record compared to predecessor Paul Trollope The 67-year-old, who has achieved seven promotions as a manager, begins his reign with a clash against rivals Bristol City, live on Sky Sports 1 on Friday night. Cardiff needed somebody with a good record in the Championship and when it comes to winning promotions Neil Warnock is the man, Chopra told Sky Sports. Warnock kept Rotherham up last season after taking the Millers on an 11-game unbeaten run I hope he can bring success to the club and can get Cardiff back in the Premier League for the fans and the city of Cardiff.Neil is a true Yorkshireman and he is so determined. His teams always show fight and passion and thats what the fans want to see. Friday night is a derby game because Bristol is just across the water. When I played in those derbies we always used to come out on top but this one promises to be a great occasion live in front of the Sky cameras for his first game. Im sure it will be tremendous and he will definitely get huge support from the fans. Chopra celebrates after scoring in Cardiffs 6-0 win against Bristol City in 2010 Chopra scored 63 goals in 159 appearances over three spells at Cardiff and picked out his added-time winner against bitter rivals Swansea in 2010 as the highlight of his time in the Welsh capital.People often tell me I played my best football down at Cardiff but a lot of that was down to the manager at the time Dave Jones, who seemed to be able to get the best out of both myself and my strike partner Jay Bothroyd, he said.Ill never forget scoring that goal in stoppage-time against Swansea and we won 2-1. To get that win and to see the looks on the faces of our fans meant so much to both myself and the club. Michael Chopra is in his second spell playing in the Indian Super League Chopra has just begun his second spell at Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters and captained the side during their goalless draw with Delhi Dynamos in Kochi on Sunday.The 32-year-old is now playing under Steve Coppell, and the former Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Reading boss told Sky Sports the chance to manage in India was too good to refuse.He said: I just felt this was a massive challenge from a management point of view trying to get people with different languages, cultures and footballing styles to try and play a certain way. But in a kind of sadistic way that appealed to me. Steve Coppell is relishing his latest challenge as Kerala Blasters manager There was also the opportunity of seeing a country that Ive been to before and Im fascinated by. I wanted to experience the culture, the people, the travel and the varied landscapes across a country which I believe is the fastest growing economy in the world.The reason why I joined Kerala Blasters was a conglomeration of all of those things.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

Now thats something both golf and football fans can enjoy putting a little action on.Proposition bets will be huge once again in Nevadas legal sports books, where bettors can wager on anything from the jersey number of the player who scores the first touchdown to how far the longest kickoff return will be (over/under is 28.5 yards).And, of course, the ever-popular bet on whether the first score of the game will be a safety. That one exploded on the bookies last year when the Seahawks scored a safety on Denvers first offensive play of the game.The game was five minutes old and we were already down $130,000, said Nick Bogdanovich, the oddsmaker for the William Hill US chain of sports books. That was a disaster.Not so much of a disaster, though, that the bookies didnt come back to score some big wins of their own. A Seattle blowout of the favoured Broncos helped legal sports books make nearly $20 million on record wagering of $119.4 million on the game.Bettors will win some of this years props, too, and in a game that is basically a tossup they might get more action than usual. William Hill lists 690 different prop bets, ranging from the mundane (total points scored, 48.5 over/under) to the more exotic (Number of goals in the Barcelona/Villarreal soccer match).Number of tackles by New Englands Devin McCourty? Theres a prop for that, with an over/under of four.Think Tom Brady will throw more touchdown passes than the Minnesota Wild scores goals on Sunday? Theres a prop for that, too, with the Wild a 3-2 favourite.Or, on the more esoteric side, how about the number of goals in the Worlds Mens Handball Championship in Qatar versus tthe total receiving yards by Seattles Doug Baldwin (11-10 odds, with handball minus 1. Timothe Luwawu Jersey. 5 goals)?A lot of people have to have action throughout the game, Bogdanovich said. As soon as the game starts theyre cashing tickets. Every five minutes theres a prop decided.So-called prop bets have proven lucrative in Nevadas legal sports books since their debut in the 1990s, and oddsmakers spend days following the conference championship games trying to come up with as many as they can. The only limit is Nevada betting regulations that restrict any sports book bets on things that actually happen on the field of play.That includes the opening coin flip, which can be bet even up with a bet of $102 for a $100 payoff at the Westgate LV Superbook. But the Nevada books cant offer the more bizarre bets put up by online books that include everything from the colour of Bill Belichicks hoodie (grey is a prohibitive favourite) to whether Katy Perry will wear a skirt/dress or pants during the halftime show (skirt/dress is a 4-5 favourite).Betting at the online books is illegal in the U.S., but that hasnt stopped online bookie Bovada from putting up those odds. Those who can bet at Bovada can also wager on whether Idina Menzel will forget or omit a word in the national anthem (6-1 odds against) or the number of times deflated balls will be referred to in the NBC broadcast (over/under is 2.5).For the prop bets you can legally wager on, though, the safety (1-7 against and 5-1 in favour) will almost surely be the most popular. Thats after bookies took a beating in the past two Super Bowls, where the safety was the last score in one game and the first in the other.Im not going to say its a sore subject with us but it has become the most bet prop on the board, said the Westgates Jay Kornegay. Its guaranteed were going to have some liability attached to that one come the day of the game.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
