Well, I didn’t expect that, did I?
At the start of the day, if you told me Tottenham had beaten Tamworth 3-0, I would not have batted an eyelid. It’s a scoreline I expected.
However, the trails took to do the task far from simple, in fact, they were very close to being removed within 90 minutes.
In the end, they brought on their big guns for extra time and got the job done, but it’s to a performance to be proud of.
Tamworth, however, must have been brilliant. They pushed Tottenham all the way, giving them a great game.
Anyway, I’m sorry to start so early, but a game in the Emirates demands me. Yes, agitated times.
I will see them all there.
By Harry Bamforth
This is the whistle, Tottenham does the job.
He took the visitors until they came together, but in the end, they were too much for Tamworth.
The non-league can walk away with their heads held high, they ran the Premier League until the end.
It wasn’t meant to be that way.
By Harry Bamforth
Football is a ruthless and merciless game.
Tottenham’s fitness degrees and quality shone in extra time and in the end it turns into a victory.
Brennan Johnson whips home the third in style after Dejan Kulusevski wins the ball in the box.
This scoreline feels unfair.
By Harry Bamforth
This is why extra-time can be frustrating.
These two targets killed this setting until there was nothing, there was almost nothing.
There is also no atmosphere now because enthusiasts know that their hopes have been dashed.
Now we are counting the minutes until the final beep.
By Harry Bamforth
This is the kind of day I wish we still had replays.
With the old design in place, Tamworth would have deserved a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a little more bench.
But no, instead they had 30 extra minutes and are on their way to being knocked out.
So cruel.
By Harry Bamforth
Tottenham may be on the verge of booking their place in the next round, but I don’t think they will leave happy.
The body language out there is that they are still feeling shame at this performance, and they should.
By Harry Bamforth
We have our answer!
Tottenham, despite everything, shows a bit of quality and comes from the boots of no less that Kulusvksi leaves.
The Swede kills the game off with a lovely low drive into the far corner from inside the box.
Any hope Tanworth had of returning to this has dissipated.
By Harry Bamforth
Cut and we return to the road.
Can Tamworth a way back to this game or Tottenham will retire?
We are about to leave.
By Harry Bamforth
Messy doesn’t have it canopy. . .
It didn’t take a bit of genius to nevertheless give the boy to Tottenham in this match, but rather a mistake from Tamworth.
There are practically no celebrations from either the fans or the players, they must be a little embarrassed.
By Harry Bamforth
Well, we have 15 minutes left.
Tottenham took their sweet time but in the end, a bit of luck has gifted them the lead.
You have to feel for Tamworth, this protection has come so brilliant. However, it is not over yet.
By Harry Bamforth
It was going to be like Tottenham scored, wasn’t it?
It’s confusing functionality and it’s a confusing purpose to adapt to.
However, they would possibly not care, as long as they get away with it.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, that is a terrible way to admit . . .
Tamworth’s hearts are damaged when Nathan Tshikuna whips his house after a horror exhibition at the back.
Tamworth fail to deal with a free-kick and it initially looks like Dominic Solanke taps home into an empty net, but no it’s Tshikuna.
The bubble has exploded.
By Harry Bamforth
Okay, I will say that we never have a purpose in this party.
These first few minutes of extra-time have confirmed it to me because neither side are really testing the keeper.
The sanctions will happen, look at this space.
By Harry Bamforth
My word, no one needs to go there today, that?
In Yorkshire, Hull and Doncaster they will separate after 120 minutes of action.
You all know what that means… yes, we are going to penalties at the MKM Stadium.
By Harry Bamforth
These adjustments have already had an impact.
They are Heung-min made a great opposite pass to send Sergio Reguillon to the left.
The full-back looks for Dominic Solanke in the middle once Jas Singh frustrates the visitors.
Tamworth would not be raped, it is amazing.
By Harry Bamforth
Okay, Ángel Postecoglou happens to pass now.
Dejan Kulusevski, his son Heung-Min and Djed Spence arrived here for time.
There are no players to bring, huh?
They want to mention anything here to save the spurs from embarrassment.
By Oliver Holt In The Lamb Ground
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, dear, oh dear.
We knew Tottenham were Mr. Inconsistent, but my word, it’s just the poor point.
They were the fourth Premier League team (from 1992 to 1993) to play extra time in an FA Cup match against a non-league club.
Could they lose that?
If they did, it would easily be the biggest shock in FA Cup history, the scenes would be remarkable.
By Harry Bamforth
Former Premier League defender Stephen Warnock on BBC Radio Five Live:
By Harry Bamforth
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Tamworth takes Tottenham to the Premier League in extra time, I can’t.
The hosts had a chance to win it in the end, but it just wasn’t to be. However, it is already over.
I am speechless.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, was that the moment for Tamworth?
Tom McGlinchey has the chance to win it at the death as he wins the ball in the area.
Cut inside and then send the ball directly to the goalkeeper, he will have to score.
Tottenham are on!
By Harry Bamforth
Ooooft. . .
Morrison just brought a ball where no boy can be touched. Yes, you know where.
It will take time to recover, that’s safe. To be honest, I felt like this when he realized.
By Harry Bamforth
There will be six minutes of detention time . . .
If there is no purpose in this time, we will spend another 30 minutes.
Surely not…
By Harry Bamforth
I can’t, I’m about to write this, but I’d possibly go the distance.
Tottenham’s supporters in the domain can’t do what they’re looking for, their team was so poor.
The fact that they let this game go so far is shameful. . .
By Oliver Holt At The Lamb Ground
By Harry Bamforth
Tom Tonks’ race is run, so that means no more long throw-ins for us today. I’m gutted, I loved them.
Nathan Tshikuna is in his position and I can tell you that he is a specialist in the touchline.
Meanwhile, Dan Creaney is replaced by Chris Wreh.
By Harry Bamforth
Tom Tonks is in the book.
He won a yellow card for asking the referee to expel Radu Dragusin.
I bet that doesn’t get given in the fifth tier, does it?
By Harry Bamforth
More changes are coming in for Tamworth.
Captain Ben Milnes makes way with Fletcher coming on in his place for the final few minutes.
And the brilliant Beck-Ray Enoru also stands out, what functionality he gave.
He is replaced by Kai Williams.
By Harry Bamforth
It’s all Tottenham now, they have Tamworth pinned back as they search for a late winner.
I mean, why they couldn’t do this before, I don’t know.
Jas Singh denies them once again, this time with a status very opposite to Brennan Johnson from a tight angle.
Will they one day exceed him?
By Harry Bamforth
Ooooh, Pedro Porro is a satisfied bunny.
The Tottenham full-back is booked for pulling back Beck-Ray Enoru on the counter, and I’m not sure why he is moaning.
This is a transparent error!
By Harry Bamforth
Oh my word, what has just happened?
Tottenham wore messy behind and, in an attempt to transparent the ball, shot Tonks.
The ball then passes almost completely over Antonin Kinsky with the goal, but he recovers it slightly.
It would have been one of the wildest I’ve seen.
By Harry Bamforth
Brennan Johnson simply has to do better!
A swinging cross is sent to the back post where Johnson is there to fulfill it, yet he can’t even get his effort on target.
That sums up his day, the winger was virtually anonymous for most of the afternoon.
By Harry Bamforth
Ange postcoglou has had enough and brings the weapons.
Dominic Solanke now takes the top spot in place of Mikey Moore, while Lucas Bergvall repositions Pape Sarr.
I bet I expected to love those two array.
Meanwhile, Munashe Sundire replaces Cameron Cockerill-Mollett for the hosts.
By Harry Bamforth
Let’s go through time. . .
Nothing can separate the two sides in Yorkshire so we need another 30 minutes and maybe even penalties.
Who will do the work?
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, the idea in him!
Jordan Cullinane-Liburd appears to have given Tamworth the lead as he finds himself in the corner, in position to kick a goal.
But no, his head bounced in agony off the post.
The visitors were just inches from stunning Tottenham with just over 20 minutes to go.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, Timo Werner. . .
How the German has not just put Tottenham ahead, I have no idea. Oh, wait, yes I do, it’s because he never scores one-on-ones.
Werner is fed and only has Jas Singh, but you never expect you to write down.
He does not have the usual killer instinct and Singh hastened to frustrate him when he enters the box.
A and miss.
By Harry Bamforth
Mikey Moore had problems today.
She took the ball lightly today, and neither did teammate Brennan Johnson.
If I was Ange Postecoglou, I’d look at making some changes.
By Harry Bamforth
Ohhhh, this is getting a bit tasty now.
Daniel Creaney and Radu Dragusin face off in the penalty box as they wait for a corner and Peter Bankes is happy.
The referee comes over and books the both of them for the little tussle.
No bag alert, but almost.
By Harry Bamforth
This return will lead to a goal, I can feel it.
Tom Tonks throws one into the domain and reasons out the absolute chaos.
Tottenham fail to clear the ball and it falls to Beck-Ray Enoru to hit, which he of course does.
It’s a decent effort heading into the back corner, but it deflects off the post.
By Harry Bamforth
Haydn Hollis is having a hell of a match!
Just moments after showing his skills he foils Timo Werner by clearing his header off the line.
So he can mig off players for fun and then defend brilliantly. Maybe he is due a move.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, prevent that!
Haydn Hollis has just produced what I’ve noticed in the FA Cup this season.
He is under pressure at the back and then pulls out the roulette to get past Pape Sarr.
I think it’s what you call ‘filthy’.
Bringing the greatest joy of the day so far, it was natural gold. From now on he will be called Haydninho.
By Harry Bamforth
Hull City are level!
Gustavo Puerta notes his first purpose for the Tigers and would have stored his side.
This would possibly go towards additional time . . .
By Harry Bamforth
Is it Tamworth vs. James Maddison?
The midfielder is the only player who happens to have presented the visitors and again, he has a chance in goal.
His strike is saved yet again by Jas Singh but the keeper the goes down in some discomfort.
All is fine though – he has some treatment and gets on with it. No messing about and fake limping.
By Harry Bamforth
My word, Beck-ray Enoru is fast.
The winger put on his skates and chased Radu Dragusin, who forced the ball back to Antonin Kinsky.
Enoru then continues and nearly pinches it off the young keeper, but it’s hooked away just in time.
The winger is so fast that flames come out of his feet.
By Harry Bamforth
As the song Mamma Mia goes… here we go again!
Both are back in the box and there have been no settings on any of the sides.
It’s a big forty-five minutes, will it end with a surprise?
By Harry Bamforth
Picture this, you’ve just had lunch and you imagine yourself watching football and all you have to do is stop by your window to watch Tottenham.
That’s pretty crazy, right?
The best price ticket in the space for me, you can even drown in a snack and prepare without spending any money.
By Oliver Holt At The Lamb Ground
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, Tottenham. . . you’re leaving us guessing.
Spurs were brilliant in midweek to beat Liverpool, their most productive performance this season.
They are now detained through a 96 -seat team under them in English football and even chain the intelligent movements together.
I don’t think it’s unfair to say that Tamworth is the most productive team in this first half.
Football is so strange, like that.
By Harry Bamforth
Well, Array. . What do we have here?
Tottenham play the third round of the FA Cup against Tamworth.
The hosts have many of the problems of the Premier League, they have possibly been the major team.
Bar a couple of moments of quality from James Maddison, Tottenham have been pants.
Is a surprise planned?
By Harry Bamforth
Boooo . . .
Tom Tonks used short jet-ins, that’s not what we need to see, right?
Simply throwing it into the son of the blender is a natural entertainment.
By Harry Bamforth
Ooooooh, Is Tottenham a little unstable?
Both Pedro Porro and Radu Dragusin play hospital passes at the back and Antonin Kinsky finds himself in a pickle.
He is persecuted before having to take the ball desperately.
By Harry Bamforth
Ah, Hello . . .
You haven’t forgotten about this game, have you?
Well, Tow Doncaster Rovers took the lead in the game.
Luke Molyneux is played and moves away before driving the ball to the corner.
That puts the cat amongst the pigeons.
By Harry Bamforth
James Maddison is getting walking
The Tottenham captain is in position to shoot after a pass from Timo Werner.
Maddison cuts and you just think the net is about to bulge, but sends a shot straight into Jas Singh’s gloves.
I just needed to locate a corner and that’s a goal. . . a poor finish.
By Harry Bamforth
Well, now I know that Beck-ray Enoru is in a position for the Premier League.
It falls after a slight thrust through Pedro Porro and then acts as if he had shot.
That’s when you know a player is ready to make the next step, not what they actually do with the ball.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, what an endorsement from Jas Singh!
The Tamworth goalkeeper arrives to repel James Maddison remotely.
Spurs stand-in captain provides the first real bit of quality this afternoon as he cheekily nutmegs a Tamworth defender before bending a sumptuous strike toward the corner.
It turns out that it was intended for the network, but Singh is intelligent when passing it in front of the post.
By Harry Bamforth
No matter how much I look at them, I can’t triumph over those jets.
My colleague laughed when Tom Tonks launches his last article and says they are “crazy”.
I mean, they really are.
Tonks simply puts them in the blender as a missile, I had never realized that.
By Harry Bamforth
Ohharray . . . don’t look for Tamworth.
Their brightest spark yet, Beck-Ray Enoru, has fallen and it’s a little painful.
Oh wait, he looks like he will be OK to continue – I was being a little dramatic.
By Harry Bamforth
Archie Gray smells a little bad.
The youngster was superb against Liverpool in midweek but has just pinged a ball out of play.
There are ironic cheers from all four stands and Gray gives a wry smile.
By Harry Bamforth
I love it, it’s an FA mug all the way through.
A group of blokes who work jobs such as a university lecturer and a retail worker play against players who earn the average annual salary in this country in a matter of days.
And guess who’s been there so far?
By Harry Bamforth
Tamworth look so threatening on the counter.
They’re running thanks to none other than Beck-Ray Enoru, I mean who else?
The winger then slides the ball across to Tom McGlinchey to let fly and his shot is blocked behind for a corner.
The loose kick, however, is less threatening than his holds.
It’s not that I write this. . .
By Harry Bamforth
James Maddison has not been ruffled by that challenge to the head, that’s for sure.
Maddison is trying to run the show and comes close to opening the scoring with a cracker.
He lets fly form the edge of the area and it flies just over the bar.
By Harry Bamforth
I think Zara might need to start hiring some more staff in Tamworth because the way Beck-Ray Enoru is, he won’t be there much longer.
The winger is lightning-quick and is causing Tottenham plenty of problems down the left.
There is a name.
By Harry Bamforth
WOW!
This Tom Tonks coming back is an absolute joke, Tottenham can’t cope.
This time he launches it over everybody in the box and it hits the post – I’m not sure I have ever seen anything like that before.
The whistle rang for a foul in the area, but it was a moment of nervousness for Tottenham.
By Harry Bamforth
It’s a real challenge, a league. . .
Tamworth captain Ben Milnes leaves on James Maddison as they go up for a header.
He never intended to win this ball, he only sought to hurry some feathers.
By Harry Bamforth
Tamworth will be very satisfied with his debut here; Everything must be said, they look like a small team.
The hosts absorb Tottenham’s tension with relative ease while they break when they can.
Visitors, well, are not yet in progress.
By Harry Bamforth
James Maddison loves this all seasons, his passes come out of the 4G terrain.
Just when I say that, Maddison takes the ball magnificently in the U turn before opening its frame to shoot.
It has a pop, its effort is blocked in the direction of the goal.
By Harry Bamforth
My word, which Tom Tonks throws out, is mental.
He had his first opportunity to start a return to the area and it is necessarily like a corner.
Tottenham are clearing the ball, but today it will cause them disorder.
Rory Deap would be proud.
By Harry Bamforth
Tamworth scores in 30 seconds!
The hosts are at the forefront, they are not lost.
Beck-ray Enoru, who works at Zara when football bets, goes past several Tottenham players before reducing his shot on goal.
Antonin Kinsky will have to jump well to tip his effort over the bar.
By Harry Bamforth
There are huge cheers as the net is taped up and we are ready to go.
Those last few minutes were some of the funniest I’ve ever seen in my career, just brilliant.
Anyway, after a delay we are now underway.
By Harry Bamforth
It has been a chaotic start, I’m laughing while writing this.
Ange Postecoglou receives insults on the bench while the fans take refuge on the bench.
The Australian then turns around and laughs with them, telling them to calm down.
Kiss this atmosphere.
By Harry Bamforth
You couldn’t write Thatray . .
We have still started because the net is well placed.
The players are just standing there like melons at the moment, waiting for it to be sorted.
This is mental, and I am loving it.
By Harry Bamforth
This is the definition of a proper cup tie.
The teams walk out of what looks like a school corridor before being greeted by a boisterous 5,000-strong crowd.
Enthusiasts are making a lot of noise, they are well located for that.
There is no sophisticated show prior to the party, nor flames, nor an atmosphere of the old school.
That’s what it is!
By Harry Bamforth
Chris Sutton, it’s up for grabs! BBC Sport co-presenter:
By Harry Bamforth
Wow, Tamworth goalkeeper Jas Singh had a weekend.
While speaking to ITV about the warm-up, Singh revealed that his wife gave birth to their son last night.
No matter what happened in this game, he had the days of his life.
Congratulations!
By Harry Bamforth
We all know the term “David vs Goliath”, well, it corresponds perfectly to this description.
The two are 96 places away and five leagues in the English football pyramid.
That is many places . . . God.
None of that matters in the FA Cup though, there will be times when Tamworth feel like they are 10 feet tall too.
This is an opportunity for them.
By Harry Bamforth
Are we all excited?
If you have read this blog to the end, you should know that I am indeed.
The two groups finish their arms as I write this and my word wishes it.
It is very bloodless in Tamworth, the game will not exceed 4 degrees.
They won’t be able to wear snoods when it kicks off, though…
By Harry Bamforth
Tottenham boss Angel Postecoglou speaking to ITV:
By Harry Bamforth
Timo Werner, Tottenham forward, speaking to ITV:
By Harry Bamforth
We are underway in Yorkshire!
It is very without blood at the MKM stadium and the gloves are today.
I have to let them off this time, though.
By Harry Bamforth
We don’t get that in the Premier League, that sure.
Tottenham’s dressing room looks more like the wrecked dressing rooms of my old home swimming pool.
I mean, this is what the cup is all about.
These Tottenham players will not feel comfortable in such a small space.
Maybe that will discourage them from playing, but we’ll see about that later.
By Harry Bamforth
Don’t you love him?
This is what the FA Cup third round is meant to be, a bunch of lower league fans showcasing their tin foil trophies.
Every time I cover a game like this, I look like how many homemade trophies I can find.
FA, I saw about seven, but here are the 3 IMHO.
But what is in the lot?
For me, it has to be the little women in image two, it is brilliant. If he did everything on his own, he has a long career in the art industry!
By Oliver Holt in Lamb Ground
By Harry Bamforth
Best last ever!
After all, Tamworth has revealed his alignment, but the only thing I can concentrate is how elegant his art is.
I mean, I love it.
Anyway, FA Cup heroes Tom Tonks and Jas Singh are both starting for the hosts, so be wary of what they do today.
Tonks is the Rory Delap in non-league football.
By Harry Bamforth
Angel Postecoglou seems satisfied to be in Tamworth, right?
The Australian boss and his players have now arrived in Staffordshire ahead of the big game.
They will be desperate not to enter the story for bad reasons.
They all look fairly relaxed considering…
By Harry Bamforth
Teddy Sheringham, former Spurs forward:
The most productive of football: that it is magical with Joe Cole and Ashley Cole, presented through Carling, the official sponsor of the Emirates FA Cup and the Adobe Women’s Fa Cup. You can see the presentation on YouTube and Spotify or pay attention to any Place where you get your podcasts. Episode two is now available and can be seen here.
By Harry Bamforth
I wonder how those Tamworth players are feeling…
It’s through the biggest attack of their lives, and it’s not even close.
If I were in your position, I would have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. It would be a nervous wreck.
That’s probably why I’m sitting at this computer instead of going out into the field.
No matter what’s going on in the lamb box this lunchtime, Tamworth has already made history.
It is the day in the history of the club, there is no doubt.
They have played Stoke City, Norwich City, and Everton before this, but this fixture eclipses all of those occasions.
If you can somehow, my word would be one of the greatest shocks that this festival has ever seen.
Can they do it?
By Harry Bamforth
Ange Postecoglou is joking, damn it.
The Australian decided for a strong team this afternoon, but still made six team changes.
The survivors from the team that beat Liverpool in midweek are Antonin Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray and Yves Bissouma.
Mikey Moore comes back into the set-up after some time away.
By Harry Bamforth
This is when it starts to get genuine for those Tamworth players.
The hosts have arrived and it seems that many of them are already focused, according to those photos.
I mean, it’s the biggest game of his career, so it’s not a surprise.
I’m sure why manager Andy Peaks pulls that face, but it made me laugh.
Whether that was his intention, we’ll never know.
By Harry Bamforth
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham manager, speaking on Friday:
By Harry Bamforth
Do you know why I and so many others like this competition?
I mean, we all love an underdog, and better than that, we all love to see an underdog take down the big guns.
We love all primary clashes, right?
The idea of a lower league team releasing a giant from the game is a neutral thing for each and every season. It is a staple of English football.
We haven’t had too many giant killings this season, as of yet, but Tamworth have the opportunity to change that.
On paper, Tottenham cleans the ground with them, right?
But it is the FA Cup and they are also the Spurs: anything can happen, especially on a cold afternoon in Staffordshire.
If the story has taught us something, pour Tamworth even before the adjustment began.
They ask you.
By Harry Bamforth
Okay, before we go any further with the build, I need to give you an idea of what the menu looks like today.
While we are predominantly covering the Tottenham game in this blog, there is a pretty packed day ahead to look forward to.
Here is today’s billing:
By Harry Bamforth
That is the FA Cup, right?
It is not often that clubs that do not belong to the league have the opportunity to take over the elite of football; he is a commodity for those clubs.
Then, when Tottenham was taken from the hat to face Tamworth in the third round, the Midlands club could not see.
Well, the adjustment is here, so you’re going to have to do it now.
The National League aspect will host Spurs in just 90 minutes on their field.
It’s a lot of blows, I know.
This is by far one of the most engaging attacks of the afternoon, but it’s not the only one we’re going to cover.
Hull City and Doncaster are also in action this afternoon so I’ll keep them aware if anything happens in this match.
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to start this blog all morning, so I think it’s time to start, right?
Let’s all go through the cup.
