Dion Dublin, at Villa Park for 5 live Sport
Aston Villa v Chelsea (1245 BST)
"Today is not a foregone conclusion for Chelsea. Villa are fighting for their lives and when a lion is backed into a corner it can be dangerous."

Sensible travel advice there from Dion Dublin. Never, ever, under any circumstances, back a lion into a corner...

What do you do then? Sideways? Front first?

What's the point in just giving half the ****ing required information, 5Live ****s?!

Depends what you're looking for the outcome to be.

There's probably a flowchart somewhere that explains it all.

I won't believe it unless it's on a website or comes directly from Kenny Jackett's lips.

I certainly wouldn't ever back Kenny into a corner.

That's 3 days that I won't be able to erase from memory.

Wigan down.

Overrated.

Wigan down.

Overrated.

Over here next season!

Over here next season!

Fine. Without Martinez (also overrated) and some of their better players, I don't think that they'll be anything to fear.

I'd enjoy this.

They could play it in Abu Dhabi, or Qatar, there has been talk of a 39 game for a while!

In terms of next season I don't have any fears about the teams that have been relegated.

Reading have been a Championship team all season and will probably be up there in the battle for top six next season but I don't see them running away with the league.

QPR have the very real potential to do a Blackburn or even a Wolves. Especially if 'Arry stays and no-doubt brings in another boat-load of players over the summer.

And as FryattFox pointd out, with or without over-rated Martinez and likely a number of their better players, I don't see Wigan being certs for promotion.

Pulis to leave Stoke at the end of the season:

Tony Pulis is set to leave as manager of Stoke City following talks with chairman Peter Coates on Tuesday.
Pulis's future has been in doubt for some time and he has been told the club feel the time is right to part ways after seven years in charge.
The 55-year-old was appointed Potters boss for a second time in 2006, and two years later he guided the club to the top flight after a 23-year absence.
Stoke finished 13th in 2012-13 to secure a sixth Premier League campaign.
More to follow

And welcome to your new job at Leicester City Mr Pulis.

And welcome to your new job at Leicester City Mr Pulis.

I think you'll find he'll be having a 7 month break before taking over at a Premier club in his homeland.

I don't think county will make it into the premier league within 7 months

The other 91 clubs in the top 4 leagues have now all changed managers since Arsenal last won a trophy.

I believe that is how you sort 'it' out. All 91 clubs must be doing really well.
