LOVELY PAIR

CARDIFF City's impressive promotion charge continued with a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Dave Jones' team have gone 13 games without defeat in League and Cup and there's even more good news for Bluebirds' fans.

City chairman Peter Ridsdale was last night locked in talks to bring goal king Michael Chopra back to Cardiff for the remainder of the season. The potential return of Chopra will emphasise City's promotion challenge. They have also clinched the loan from Spartak Moscow of former Arsenal striker Quincy Owusu-Abeyie.

Paul Parry and Jay Bothroyd scored their goals yesterday - but City may have paid a heavy price for their win. Defenders Gabor Gyepes and Roger Johnson as well as skipper Joe Ledley all picked up injuries which leave them doubtful for Tuesday night's big FA Cup replay at Arsenal.
