Well, I was not expecting that, were you?

At the start of the day, if you told me Tottenham had beaten Tamworth 3-0, I would have batted an eyelid. It’s a score I expected.

However, the Spurs’ path to doing the task far from easy, in fact, they came here very close to being knocked out within 90 minutes.

In the end, they brought their big guns longer and were given the task, but it’s a feature he’s proud of.

Tamworth, however, were surely brilliant. They lead Tottenham all the way, giving them a game.

Anyway, I regret having to start so early, but a match in the Emirates demands of me. Yes, hectic times.

I’ll see you all there.

By Harry Bamforth

There’s the whistle, Tottenham does the job.

The visitors went until the extension came together, but in the end, they were too much for Tamworth.

The Non-League side can walk away with their heads held high though, they ran the Premier League side all the way.

It just didn’t pretend to be.

By Harry Bamforth

Football is a ruthless and ruthless game.

Tottenham’s fitness levels and quality have shone through in extra-time and this is becoming a comfortable win in the end.

Brennan Johnson hits the house in third place after Dejan Kulusevski wins the ball in the box.

This score is unfair.

By Harry Bamforth

That’s why the extension can be frustrating.

Those two goals have killed this game to the point of nothingness, barely anything is happening.

There is no atmosphere now either as the fans know their hopes have been crushed.

Now we’re counting the lows until the last whistle.

By Harry Bamforth

This is the kind of day I wish we still had replays.

With the old design instead, Tamworth would have deserved a Hotspur Stadium in Tottenham, with a little more bank.

But no, instead they had 30 extra minutes and are on their way to being knocked out.

So cruel.

By Harry Bamforth

Tottenham would possibly be on the verge of booking their position in the next round, but I don’t think they will leave happy.

The frame language is that they feel ashamed of this performance, and they should do so.

By Harry Bamforth

We have our answer!

Tottenham, despite everything, seem to have some quality and that comes from the boots of none other than Dejan Kulusevksi.

The Swede kills the game with a great low run into the corner inside the box.

All Tanworth’s hope to return to this has now dissipated.

By Harry Bamforth

Short and we hit the road again.

Can Tamworth find a way back into this game or will Tottenham bow out?

We are about to find out.

By Harry Bamforth

Messy doesn’t quite cover it…

It didn’t take a bit of brilliance to finally give Tottenham the lad in this match, but rather just a mistake from Tamworth.

There is almost no birthday party, whether it’s supporters or players, they’ll have to be a little embarrassed.

By Harry Bamforth

Right, we have just 15 minutes to go.

Tottenham took their sweet time but in the end, a bit of luck has gifted them the lead.

You have to feel for Tamworth, they have gone so protecting so brilliantly. It’s not over yet, though.

By Harry Bamforth

That was always going to be how Tottenham scored, wasn’t it?

It is a messy functionality and it is a messy purpose to adjust it.

They won’t really care though, as long as they get through.

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, that is a terrible way to admit . . .

Tamworth’s hearts are damaged while Nathan Tshikuna returns home in his own goal after a horror exhibition at the back.

Tamworth can’t handle a free throw and first of all, it looks like Dominic Solanke is hitting an empty net, but no, it’s Tshikuna.

The bubble has officially burst.

By Harry Bamforth

Okay, I’ll say it, we never have a purpose in this game.

These first few minutes of extra-time have confirmed it to me because neither side are really testing the keeper.

Penalties will happen, watch this space.

By Harry Bamforth

My word, nobody wants to go through today, do they?

In Yorkshire, Hull and Doncaster they will separate after 120 minutes of action.

You all know what this is Aray . . . yes, we are going to sanction at the MKM stadium.

By Harry Bamforth

These adjustments have already had an impact.

Heung-Min’s son has just made an inverted pass to send Sergio Reguillón to the left.

The full-back looks for Dominic Solanke in the middle but yet again Jas Singh thwarts the visitors.

Tamworth probably wouldn’t be raped, that’s amazing.

By Harry Bamforth

Right, Ange Postecoglou is just going to go for it now.

Dejan Kulusevski, his Heung-Min and Djed Spence came into play in extra time.

It is a bad player to recruit, huh?

They’ll have to pull out anything here to save the Spurs from embarrassment.

By Oliver Holt At The Lamb Ground

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, dear, oh dear.

We knew Tottenham were sloppy, but my word is just another point of poverty.

They are only the fourth Premier League team (from 1992 to 1993) to compete in extra time, an FA Cup as opposed to a non-Championship club.

Could they lose this?

If they did, it would easily be the biggest shock in FA Cup history, the scenes would be remarkable.

By Harry Bamforth

Stephen Warnock, former Premier League defender, on BBC Radio 5 Live:

By Harry Bamforth

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Tamworth takes the Tottenham Premier League in longer, I can’t.

The hosts had the possibility of winning at the end, but not being. But it is not over yet.

I’m speechless.

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, was that the moment for Tamworth?

Tom McGlinchey has to win it in death by winning the ball in the painting.

He cuts inside and then fires the ball straight at the keeper, he has to score.

Tottenham clings!

By Harry Bamforth

Ooooft…

Morrison has just taken a ball to the place no man wants to be hit. Yep, you know where.

It will take time to get up, that sure. To be honest, I felt that he hit him.

By Harry Bamforth

There will be six minutes of detention time. . .

If there isn’t a goal in that time we will be heading for an extra 30 minutes.

Certainly not. . .

By Harry Bamforth

I can’t be about to write this, but you can really take the distance.

These Tottenham fans in the domain can’t what they are looking for, their team was so poor.

The fact that they let this game happen so far is shameful.

By Oliver Holt on Lambland

By Harry Bamforth

The Tom Tonks race is taking place, which more longer jets for us today. I’m exhausted, I enjoyed them.

Nathan Tshikuna is in position and I can tell you that he is a specialist at the keys.

Meanwhile, Dan Creaney is replaced by Chris Wreh.

By Harry Bamforth

Tom Tonks is in the book.

He earned a yellow for asking the referee for Radu Dragusin.

I bet that doesn’t get given in the fifth tier, does it?

By Harry Bamforth

More adjustments are coming for Tamworth.

Captain Ben Milnes gave and Fletcher replaced him during the final minutes.

And also comes the great Beck-ray Enoru, what a functionality it gave.

He is replaced by Kai Williams.

By Harry Bamforth

That’s all Tottenham now, they have pinned on Tamworth as they look for a winner from the beaten.

I mean, why couldn’t they do that before, I don’t know.

Jas Singh denies them once again, this hard-time status opposed to Brennan Johnson from a narrow angle.

Will they ever get past him?

By Harry Bamforth

Ooooh, Pedro Porro is a satisfied rabbit.

The Tottenham full-back is booked for pulling back Beck-Ray Enoru on the counter, and I’m not sure why he is moaning.

It is obviously a fault!

By Harry Bamforth

My God, what happened?

Tottenham looked disorganized at the back and in an attempt to clear the ball he shot at Tom Tonks.

The ball then went almost absolutely over Antonin Kinsky in goal, but he recovered it slightly.

That would have been one of the craziest goals I have ever seen.

By Harry Bamforth

Brennan Johnson will have to do better!

A balanced half is sent to the back post where Johnson is there to meet him but even manages to put his effort on target.

That sums up his day well, the winger was nameless for the afternoon high.

By Harry Bamforth

Ange Postcoglou has had enough, he brings the weapons.

Dominic Solanke is now more sensible in Mikey Moore’s position, while Lucas Bergvall repositions Pape Sarr.

I bet that I did not expect to want those two . . .

Meanwhile, Munashe Sundire replaces Cameron Cockerill-Mollett for the hosts.

By Harry Bamforth

Let’s go through Timarearray . .

Nothing can separate the two teams in Yorkshire, so we want another 30 minutes and even penalties.

Who will do the work?

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, I thought that was in!

Jordan Cullinane-Liburd seems to give Tamworth the lead while he was with a corner, in a position to score the goal.

But no, his header bounces agonisingly wide of 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 didn’t give Tottenham the credit, I have no idea. Oh wait, yes, it’s because he never scores head-on.

Werner is fed and only has Jas Singh, but he is never expected to score.

He lacks the killer instinct as usual and Singh rushes out to foil him as he enters the box.

A big, big miss.

By Harry Bamforth

Mikey Moore has really struggled today.

He took the ball today, either his teammate Brennan Johnson.

If I am a post-coglou angel, I would seek to make changes.

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, now it’s getting a little tasty.

Daniel Creaney and Radu Dragusin are going at each other in the penalty area as they await a corner and Peter Bankes is not happy.

The referee arrives and books them for the little fight.

Not quite handbags alert, but nearly.

By Harry Bamforth

This throw-in is going to lead to a goal, I can feel it.

Tom Tonks throws one into the domain and reasons absolute chaos.

Tottenham fail to clear the ball and it falls to Beck-Ray Enoru to hit, which he of course does.

It is a decent effort aimed at the rear corner, but deviates in the post.

By Harry Bamforth

Haydn Hollis has a great game!

Moments after showing his skills, he frustrated Timo Werner by dropping his head on the line.

So he can mig off players for fun and then defend brilliantly. Maybe he is due a move.

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, stop that!

Haydn Hollis has just produced what I have noticed in the FA Cup this season.

It’s defense tension and then leaves the roulette wheel to overtake Pope Sarr.

I think it’s what you call ‘filthy’.

This is the biggest joy of the day so far, it was the natural gold. Now it will be called Haydninho.

By Harry Bamforth

Hull City are level!

Gustavo Puerta scores his first goal for the Tigers and it may have just saved his side.

This can spend more time anraray . .

By Harry Bamforth

Is Tamworth as opposed to James Maddison?

The midfielder is the only player that seems to have turned up for the visitors and yet again he has a shot in goal.

His strike is saved yet again by Jas Singh but the keeper the goes down in some discomfort.

Everything is fine, even if he has remedy and move on. Without disorder and false lame.

By Harry Bamforth

My God, Beck-ray Enoru is fast.

The winger rides his skates while Radu Dragusin continues, who must pass the ball to Antonin Kinsky.

Enoru then goes on and almost snatches it from the young goalkeeper, but hooks it in time.

The winger is so quick that he has flames coming from his feet.

By Harry Bamforth

While the song Mamma Mia passes . . . We spend here again!

The two teams are back out on the pitch and there have been no changes to either side.

This is a big 45 minutes, will it end with a surprise?

By Harry Bamforth

Imagine this, you just have lunch and think about going out to play some football and all you have to do is pop over to your window to watch Tottenham.

That’s crazy, right?

For me, the best price in the space, you can even have a snack and brew a beer without spending any money.

By Oliver Holt At The Lamb Ground

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, Tottenham . . . you leave us guessing.

Spurs were brilliant in the middle of the week to beat Liverpool, it is their most productive performance this season.

Now they are carried out through a 96 team, put under them in English football and even the chain in clever move combinations.

I don’t think it’s unfair to say that Tamworth were the better side in that first half.

Football is so strange, like that.

By Harry Bamforth

Well, what do we have here?

Tottenham are being held by Non-League Tamworth in the third round of the FA Cup.

The home team has caused a lot of disruption in the Premier League, they were the most productive team.

A few moments of James Maddison, Tottenham, a pair of trousers for a few moments.

Is a shock on the cards?

By Harry Bamforth

Boooooo . . .

Tom Tonks has resorted to short throw-ins, that’s not what we want to see, is it?

Just throw it in the mixer son, it’s pure entertainment.

By Harry Bamforth

Ooooooh, is Tottenham a bit unstable?

Pedro Porro and Radu Dragusin give hospital passes in Defense and Antonin Kinsky is in trouble.

He is being hunted down before having to hook the ball clear in sheer desperation.

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, hello…

You hadn’t forgotten this game, right?

Well, League Tow Doncaster Rovers have taken the lead completely against the run of play.

Luke Molyneux plays and moves away before driving the low ball into the box.

This puts the cats.

By Harry Bamforth

James Maddison is getting Andarray

The Tottenham captain digs himself into a shooting position after being slipped by Timo Werner.

Maddison cuts inside and you just think the net is about to inflate, but it’s going into Jas Singh’s gloves.

He just needed to find a corner and it’s a goal… poor finish.

By Harry Bamforth

Well, now I know that Beck-Ray Enoru is in a position for the Premier League.

He falls after a slight push to Pedro Porro and then acts as if he had been shot.

That’s when you know that a player is in a position to take the next step, not what he is doing with the ball.

By Harry Bamforth

Oh, what a save that is from Jas Singh!

The Tamworth goalkeeper comes up trumps to deny James Maddison from distance.

Captain Stand-in Spurs supplies the first quality of genuine quality this afternoon, while a Tamworth defender is desirable before doubling a sumptuous shot into the corner.

It seems destined at the end, but Singh does well to launch it beyond the post.

By Harry Bamforth

No matter how much I look at them, I can’t come back from those reboots.

My colleague scoffs when Tom Tonks throws his and says they’re “crazy. “

I mean, they really are.

Tonks just sticks them in the blender like a missile, I’ve never noticed it.

By Harry Bamforth

Ohhh.. this doesn’t look good for Tamworth.

Her brightest spark yet, Beck-Ray Enoru has fallen and a little painful.

Oh wait, it looks like it’s going to be okay with the continuum, I’m a little dramatic.

By Harry Bamforth

Archie Gray is in a bit of pain.

The very good youngster opposes Liverpool in midweek, but has just hit a ball offside.

There are ironic cheers from the 4 stalls and gray a wry smile.

By Harry Bamforth

I love it, it’s the FA cup on a t-shirt.

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 has been better so far?

By Harry Bamforth

Tamworth so menacing at the counter.

They race forward yet again through 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 resulting set-piece is somehow less threatening than their throw-ins, though.

Not that I write that . . .

By Harry Bamforth

James Maddison wasn’t bothered by this challenge at the helm, that’s for sure.

Maddison tries to run the screen and walks over to open the marker with a cookie.

We are going to fly the edge of the domain and fly 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 full-back is like lightning and is causing a lot in Tottenham on the left.

There is a name.

By Harry Bamforth

WOW!

Tom Tonks’ launch is an absolute joke, Tottenham can’t seem to stand up to him.

This time he throws it all into the box and gets to the message. I’m sure I’ve noticed something like this before.

The whistle blows for a foul in the box, but it is a nervous time for Tottenham.

By Harry Bamforth

It is a true challenge to leaguearray . .

Tamworth’s captain, Ben Milnes, leaves James Maddison as they head to the lead.

He was never intending to win that ball, he just wanted to ruffle a few feathers.

By Harry Bamforth

Tamworth will be very pleased with his debut here, they look like a great little team, it has to be said.

The hosts are soaking up the Tottenham pressure with relative ease while looking to break when they can.

The visitors, well, they’re still gone.

By Harry Bamforth

James Maddison loves this all weathers, his passes escape the 4G launch.

Just as I say that, Maddison takes the ball magnificently in a 180-degree turn before opening his frame to shoot.

It has a pop but its attempt is blocked towards the goal.

By Harry Bamforth

My word that Tom Tonks releases is mental.

He gets his first opportunity to return to the box and is like a wedge.

Tottenham get the ball clear but that will certainly cause problems for them today.

Rory Deap would be proud.

By Harry Bamforth

Tamworth scores in 30 seconds!

The hosts are straight on the front foot, they are really not messing about.

Beck-Ray Enoru, who works at Zara when he is not gambling football, overtakes a number of Tottenham players before cutting his shot on goal.

Antonin Kinsky will have to jump well to get his effort over the crossbar.

By Harry Bamforth

There is great applause when the net is put away and we are ready to go.

These last minutes were among the most fun I looked in my career, brilliant.

In any case, after a delay, we are now on the move.

By Harry Bamforth

It’s a chaotic start, I’m laughing as I write this.

Ange Postecoglou is being pelted by insults by the dugout as fans hit the bench shelter.

The Australian then turns around and laughs with them, telling them to calm down in a joking way.

He embraces that atmosphere.

By Harry Bamforth

You couldn’t write that. . .

We haven’t kicked off yet because the net has not been fitted in the goal properly.

The players are there like melons right now, waiting for the problem to be fixed.

This is mental, and I am loving it.

By Harry Bamforth

This is the definition of a proper cup tie.

They leave what the hall of a school looks like before being received by a noisy crowd of 5,000 people.

The fans are making a lot of noise, they are well up for this.

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’s goalkeeper Jas Singh, had a weekend.

While speaking to ITV during the warm-up, Singh revealed that his wife gave birth to their son last night.

Whatever happens in this game, he’s had the two most productive days of his life.

Congratulations!

By Harry Bamforth

We all know the term “David versus Goliath,” and today it fits that description perfectly.

The two are 96 places and five leagues apart in the English football pyramid.

They are many places . . . damn it.

However, none of these issues in the FA Cup, there will be times when Tamworth will have the impression of measuring 10 feet.

It’s a monumental occasion 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.

Both groups are only completing the assembly while I write this and my word is that they want it.

It is quite without blood in Tamworth, it may not exceed the 4 degrees of the game.

However, they couldn’t possibly use SNEDODS when it starts. . .

By Harry Bamforth

Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham boss, speaking to ITV:

By Harry Bamforth

Timo Werner, Tottenham striker, talking to ITV:

By Harry Bamforth

We are marching in Yorkshire!

It is bitterly cold at the MKM Stadium and the gloves are out in full force today.

But I have to let them pass this time.

By Harry Bamforth

You don’t get this in the Premier League, that’s for sure.

Tottenham’s dressing room turns out to look more like the dilapidated conversion rooms at my old local swimming pool.

I mean, that’s what the cup is for.

These Tottenham players will not feel comfortable in such a small space.

Maybe that will deter them from playing, but we’ll see later.

By Harry Bamforth

Don’t you just love it?

This is what the third edition of the FA Cup aims to be, an organisation of fans from the lower leagues with aluminium trophies.

Every time I cover a game like this, I look like how many homemade trophies I can find.

So, I have noticed about seven, but here are 3 in my humble opinion.

However, what is the batch?

For me, it will have to be the photo of the little women at the moment, that’s great. If you’ve accomplished all this on your own, you have a long and brilliant career in the art industry!

By Oliver Holt in Lamb Ground

By Harry Bamforth

Better late than never!

Tamworth has nevertheless unveiled its range, but what I can focus on is how sublime its graphics are.

I mean, I love it.

Anyway, the heroes of the Fa Tom Tonks and Jas Singh Cup begin with the hosts, so be careful with what they do today.

Tonks is the Rory Delap on non-league footie.

By Harry Bamforth

Ange Postcoglou seems satisfied to be in Tamworth, right?

The Australian boss and his players have now arrived at the Staffordshire before the game.

They will be desperate for not being part of the story for the current reasons.

They all look fairly relaxed considering…

By Harry Bamforth

Teddy Sheringham, former Spurs forward:

Football is the best – could it be magic with Joe Cole and Ashley Cole, brought to you by Carling, official sponsor of the Emirates FA Cup and Adobe Women’s FA Cup. You can watch the screen on YouTube and Spotify or pay attention to where you get your podcasts. Episode two is out now and can be watched here.

By Harry Bamforth

I wonder how those Tamworth players are feeling…

It is comfortably the biggest game of their lives, and is not even close.

If you were in position, you would have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. I would be made a bunch of nerves.

That is why I am sitting this PC instead of going out to the field.

No matter what happens at the Lamb Ground this lunchtime though, Tamworth have already made history.

This is the club’s greatest day in its history, there is no doubt about that.

They have already played against Stoke City, Norwich City and Everton, but this coincidence eclipses all those occasions.

If they succeeded in one or the other, my word, it would be one of the biggest shocks this festival has ever known.

Can they get it done?

By Harry Bamforth

Ange Postecoglou is not messing about, jeez.

The Australian has selected a fairly strong side this afternoon but has still made six changes to the side.

The survivors from the team that beat Liverpool in midweek are Antonin Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray and Yves Bissouma.

Mikey Moore returns to the setup after a while.

By Harry Bamforth

This is when it really starts to get real for these Tamworth players.

The hosts have arrived and it turns out that many of them are already incredibly focused, according to those photos.

I mean, it’s the biggest game of their careers, so it’s not a surprise.

I’m sure why manager Andy Peaks made that face, but it made me laugh.

If that is your intention, we will never know.

By Harry Bamforth

Tottenham’s director, Angel Postecoglou, speaking on Friday:

By Harry Bamforth

Do you know why I and so many others like this competition?

I mean, we all love a helpless, and more than that, we all love to see a helpless getting arms.

We all love primary crises, right?

The concept of a decrease in the league team that takes a giant from the game is any look at the neutrals for each season. It is a basic element of English football.

We haven’t had too many giant murders this season, but Tamworth has the opportunity to replace that.

On paper, Tottenham clean the floor with them, right?

But it’s the FA Cup and it’s also Spurs, anything can happen, especially on a bloodless afternoon in Staffordshire.

If the story has taught us something, do not write to Tamworth before the game has started.

They ask you.

By Harry Bamforth

Well, before starting with the preparation, I need to give them a task of what today’s menu is.

Although we basically cover the Tottenham game in this blog, we have a great day ahead to look forward.

Here is today’s billing:

By Harry Bamforth

This is what the FA Cup is all about, isn’t it?

It is not frequent that clubs that do not belong to the League have the opportunity to get the football elite; It is a merchandise for those clubs.

So when Tottenham were pulled out of the hat to face Tamworth in the third round, the Midlands club couldn’t believe their eyes.

Well, now the adjustment is really here, so they will now have to do it.

The National League team will host the Spurs in just 90 minutes at their home field.

It is many blows, I know.

This is by far one of the most interesting ties of the afternoon, but it’s not the only game we will be covering.

Hull City and Doncaster are also in action this lunchtime, so I will keep you updated if anything major happens in that game.

Anyway, I’ve been excited to start this blog all morning, so I think it’s time to laugh, right?

Let’s all go through the Cup.
