Will Tim Sherwood get off to a winning start as Aston Villa manager?

His ability to man-motivate came to the fore last weekend as Villa, inspired by his half-time team-talk, raced into the quarter finals of the FA Cup.

However, having orchestrated their passage into the last eight of the cup, Sherwood’s attention now switches to his primary objective at Villa Park – keeping them in the Premier League.
Sherwood got his short-lived managerial career at Spurs off to a losing start but will fancy his chances against a Stoke side smarting from their FA Cup fifth-round exit to Blackburn.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
