Stoke boss Pulis: Bellamy will go down as Cardiff legend

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis is looking forward to facing Craig Bellamy's Cardiff City in the FA Cup.

Pulis is delighted with Cardiff's progress this season, but wants their hopes of FA Cup glory to hit a roadblock at the Britannia tomorrow.

Pulis said: "I thought Bellamy was as good for Man City as anyone before he made his move.

"He is a top player. If they get promoted, his decision to go there will have been totally justified. He will go down in Cardiff's history if he helps them win promotion.

"In terms of having goals in the side, Cardiff are better than anybody else in the Championship and we will have to treat them with respect.

"We can't afford to take them lightly and we won't. We don't do it for any game and also I'm a massive fan of the FA Cup. I will definitely be putting a team out to try and win the tie, but we know it won't be easy.

"Cardiff have nothing to lose and they come here second in the league. It will be a tough game, that's for sure."
