    Pulis critical of Martinezpublished at 15:27

    Football

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis has criticised his Everton counterpart Roberto Martinez for trying to get striker Saido Berahino banned.

    Martinez claimed that Berahino should have been sent off during last weekend's game between the sides, saying that Berahino had "stamped" on James McCarthy

    The FA reviewed the incident this week with a view to taking punishment retrospectively but decided against action.  

    “I was a little bit disappointed with Roberto in respect of trying to bring something up after we’d won the game," said Pulis. "It almost smells of sour grapes and you don’t need that."

    Former Stoke defender Andy Wilkinson has been forced to retire, aged 31.

    Wilkinson has been sidelined since 14 February last year when he suffered a head injury in an FA Cup tie at Blackburn.

    His contract ended last summer, but Stoke re-signed him on reduced terms to try and get him fit for a move elsewhere.

    Chelsea news conferencepublished at 15:15

    Chelsea v Manchester City (Sunday, 16:00 GMT)

    A bit more now from Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink who is not underestimating FA Cup opponents Manchester City, despite Manuel Pellegrini threatening to field a weakened team in protest at the scheduling of the fixture. 

    "A big team always reacts," Hiddink said. "We are warned. Let's see what happens Sunday. We'll take ourselves and them very seriously." 

    Hiddink welcomed some of the rumoured reforms reportedly being considered for the FA Cup, which he describes as "a charming tournament". 

     "About midweek [fixtures], I'm in favour," he added. "For smaller clubs it's a big adventure, to have the opportunity when they have a good result to have a [replay].  We should not just think of the big clubs and try to get a good schedule in Premier League, but also not forget the clubs who love to play against the big clubs."

    Mark Whitaker: He hasn't been at Sunderland long, but Big Sam has always been more suited to a 'big' club... You know it makes sense Man Utd.

    Euan Broderick: Giggs until end of season. Then look at options. Personally wouldn't mind Harry Redknapp, deserves chance with big club.

    Chris Aswell: The players should club together 39k to compensate the 800 Utd fans who travelled to Denmark and paid £71 a ticket.

    Sam Kinsley: If LvG doesn't move from the bench the whole game who is rallying the players? We need Roy Keane, someone the players fear.

    Joe Timothy: Would Real, Barca, Bayern or PSG take this? I dont think so. You wanna be part of the elite? Act like it. LVG must go.

    David Airey: Man U shouldn't sack LvG. It's keeping the spotlight off our problems at Newcastle.

    Last year, David Beckham set out on a charity trip to play seven games of football in seven continents in seven days for Unicef.

    One of the places he visited was the Ali Addeh refugee camp in Djibouti where he met coach Isaaq Ali, a former Somali international footballer.

    BBC World Service wanted to find out more about the football career of Isaaq so we called him at his home in the refugee camp. Through an interpreter, he explained how he first fell in love with football...

    Just a bit more on the news that Sheffield United have suspended forward Jose Baxter for the second time in nine months.

    BBC Radio Sheffield approached the Blades for details on the reasons for the ban but the club declined to comment.

    Muigai Moses: Ed Woodward has to be the first out the door, having to replace both Gill & Fergie at the same time has set Man Utd backwards.

    Jack Wooldridge: LVG must be sacked before more humiliation. Giggs until the end of the season but Pochettino is the man for me long term.

    Sorry to spoil your day but it turns out this, external isn't Tino Asprilla after all, despite the former Newcastle forward's claims to the contrary.

    Apparently, it's a promotional advert, external for a breed of horse. Either way, it's an odd state of affairs.

    Tottenham v Crystal Palace (Sunday, 15:00 GMT)

    Sunday's match will be a special one for former Spurs striker Emmanuel Adebayor as he returns to White Hart Lane for the first time since his move.

    And Pardew believes the 31-year-old can be a key figure in the game.

    "Adebayor is a player that has character, strength of belief. He can change games," he says. "He will bring his personality and his quality to the pitch and cope with the highs and lows of the game.

    "For whatever reason he didn't fit how Spurs wanted to go forward. He's highly motivated to do well in the game and for Palace."
