Stoke manager Tony Pulis:

"We get Robert Huth rugby tackled and it was a stone-banker penalty.
"We just ask for fair play and we haven't had it and it's very disappointing.
"It'll be interesting to see if we get a phone call for this one saying he got it wrong."


Birmingham manager Alex McLeish:

"The run the players have gone on is a fantastic feat.
"We set the standards and with every performance and result the expectation levels rise and we've challenged the players to meet those expectation levels.
"Europe hasn't even been mentioned in the dressing room. We're focusing on Premier League security and anything higher will just be a bonus for us."
