Chris Sutton's comments about Cardiff City's relegation prospects have been well documented — so much so that Neil Warnock revealed it was mentioned in the dressing room after the Bluebirds' win over Wolves.

Sutton boldly predicted Cardiff would be relegated with a record low points tally.

And in an awkward moment live on Robbie Savage's BT Sport TV programme, Warnock spoke directly to Sutton over the phone, after the infamous comments were replayed.

With Warnock listening and Sutton stood beside, presenter Savage began: "For people who are unaware of what was said first day of the season on BT Sport Score — I think at about quarter to three — we're just going to play a clip Neil of what Chris actually said."

"Neil Warnock doesn't have a good Premier League record," he said.

"They're going to be organised, hard to beat, good at set pieces, gritty.

"But at this moment I'm saying Cardiff, they are down."

And following an awkward silence, Warnock revealed how the comments had been used as inspiration for his players, who now have their third win of the season under their belts.

"So Neil, that was at 10 to three before a ball was kicked," said Savage.

"Well apparently," replied Warnock.

"All our locals said he said we were going to go down with the lowest points ever, 11 points I think Derby.

"And we got to 11 last night thank goodness, so it did get a mention in the dressing room, one more point lads."

"Well I'm glad I'm inspiring the team, Neil," said Sutton in response.

"Yes you are!" Warnock finished.
