West Brom boss Tony Pulis has no ill-feeling towards Tim Sherwood after the new Aston Villa manager described the Baggies as a 'good little club'.

Sherwood went on to say that he had now taken over a 'massive football club', having previously been in contention for the West Brom job in the past.

That is Tim - there are no problems with me or the chairman at all.

Tim is Tim and he will be good fun for everyone around the West Midlands for the time he is at Aston Villa I'm sure.

I don't need to pin that (Sherwood's comments) up in the changing room.

We have a good group of lads here and they will want to win the game as much as Villa will.

I don't think we need any (extra) motivation. It's a local derby, it's the quarter-final of the FA Cup and it's absolutely wonderful that we've got to this stage. These are big games that everybody should look forward to and we will certainly be looking forward to it.
