Stoke boss Pulis: Premier League status bigger than FA Cup final

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis feels their FA Cup final appearance should take a back seat to what they have achieved in the Premier League.

Pulis believes the long-term future of the club will be linked to their Premier League record.

"People are talking about the weekend being the most important day in the club's history but what we mustn't forget is that next season we get our fourth year in the Premier League," he said.

"We are a much improved team than when we came into the Premier League.

"We have gradually got better but we have kept that DNA, which is really hard work and teamwork.

"When we first came up we were massive underdogs to stay in the league, we were written off after our first game.

"So to have that fourth year in the Premier League is a massive achievement."
