StevenageVTottenham

Stevenage came into this match as the lowest ranked team left after Crawley had been knocked out earlier. New manager at Stevenage who had big boots to fill, but he has started filling them well. Redknapp's mind may have been else were, (England job or Premier League) but Spurs certainly, especially in the first half, did not perform.

Tottenham were nothing special but, you can't take anything away from the League One team.  The closest Spurs came in the first 45 was a header from skipper Dawson which was cleared off the line. Stevenage offered little in the way of clear cut opportunity's, however a few long shots came very near. Most noticeably a left foot strike from Byrom, only one foot over the bar with the Cudicini scrambling.

It would seem that at half time the away side were given a real bollocking. They came out and drilled continuously at Stevenage. The lower league side were well organised at the back and gave away very little. The team from North London had the ball in the back of the net 55 minutes in. Louis Saha scrambled the ball in and the goal was given, however the assistant on the far side raised his flag and the ref over turned his original decision. The shot from Saha hit Parker standing on the line, more importantly standing offside.

Parker offside from Saha'a shot.

Stevenage were incredible and 100% earned their replay at White Hart Lane. To be honest you can't see anyone going into the Quarter-Final, in this tie, other than Tottenham. Stevenage will have everyone apart from Tottenham supporters behind them. Awaiting the winner of that is Bolton.
