Out-of-favour Sunderland striker Michael Chopra had a dig at Newcastle the other week for allegedly "ruining" his career because then-manager Glenn Roeder didn't play him in the first team.

He seemed to think Sunderland boss Roy Keane would give him his chance to rival the likes of Michael Owen and Fernando Torres in the Premiership, as he did pay £5m for him.

Sadly ... Chopra is set to join former club Cardiff on a two-month loan deal.
