Not convinced by that red card, after replays 
Looked more like a reflex defensive action than an intentional handball, and as Newell said, how can you deliberately react to a deflection from one yard away? Didn't sound like Chopra was too convinced either in the post-match interview ("Yeah, you've gotta shout for it whether you think it was a penalty or not" as opposed to "Yeah, it was a clear handball")
That said, Cardiff deserved the win - 4-1 was maybe a bit harsh, but that's football. I'm at least glad we didn't sit back and defend for 80 minutes
(And let's face it, with what looks like a suspension and two more injuries, I need to find something positive from that match! 
)
