:04:09. > :04:13.But there is guaranteed to be a giantkilling over the next few

:04:14. > :04:15.days in the third round and it could happen right here.

:04:16. > :04:19.I am in the Eastleigh dressing room where in a few short hours

:04:20. > :04:21.the players will receive their final team talk from manager Chris Todd,

:04:22. > :04:26.before one of the biggest game of their lives.

:04:27. > :04:28.You may remember earlier in the season when we visited

:04:31. > :04:36.I started to believe I was a football manager.

:04:49. > :04:54.I do not want you to be Eastleigh, I want you to be beastly.

:04:55. > :04:56.I want to see Bolton scared, winning every single ball,

:04:57. > :05:06.I want you to go up and over, you know my way, and I know

:05:07. > :05:09.yours and you can win this game and make Eastleigh proud,

:05:10. > :05:12.you can make yourselves proud, you can make me proud.

:05:13. > :05:14.I do not want Eastleigh, I want beastly.

:05:15. > :05:20.I am not quite sure what happened there.

:05:21. > :05:22.Once the team talk is over the players will gather together,

:05:23. > :05:26.all geed up for the match and make their way collectively out

:05:27. > :05:34.of the dressing rooms, past the tunnel, the toilets

:05:35. > :05:37.and the other boring stuff and meet their opponents right here,

:05:38. > :05:38.Bolton, coming from the way changing rooms.

:05:39. > :05:41.Then they will, ever so slowly, walk down the tunnel,

:05:42. > :05:43.ready to face the passionate Eastleigh fan base.

:05:44. > :05:45.We have got some of those Eastleigh fans right here,

:05:46. > :05:49.Who better to give us the lowdown on their local club?

:05:50. > :05:52.Our nickname is the Spitfires, that is because old fighter planes

:05:53. > :05:59.They stadium can hold nearly 6000 people.

:06:00. > :06:07.We only became known as Eastleigh in 1980.

:06:08. > :06:10.Our FA Cup opponents Bolton are a lot older than us,

:06:11. > :06:20.The goal-line technology that is used in the Premier League

:06:21. > :06:29.was first tested out here at, you guessed it, Eastleigh.

:06:30. > :06:31.You will never guess how our manager Chris Todd keeps fit.

:06:32. > :06:34.He does press ups with his child on his back.

:06:35. > :06:39.If you do not believe me, watch this.

:06:40. > :06:46.Bolton are not the only big team to visit us lately.

:06:47. > :06:54.Last month, Jurgen Klopp brought Liverpool to train here.

:06:55. > :07:09.He once ran faster than Ronaldo in a match for West Ham.

:07:10. > :07:12.In fact, he broke the world record set by Antonio Valencia.

:07:13. > :07:21.Although Bolton are 50 places above Eastleigh in the league

:07:22. > :07:25.recent form suggests it could be quite a close game.

:07:26. > :07:27.The Trotters are currently struggling in the Championship

:07:28. > :07:29.near the bottom of the table while the Spitfires

:07:30. > :07:33.In total, there are 31 round three matches to be played this weekend,

:07:34. > :07:35.including my beloved, the mighty whites, Leeds United,

:07:36. > :07:42.who take on Rotherham in a local Yorkshire derby later today.

:07:43. > :07:44.There are dream trips for Dagenham and Redbridge who go

:07:45. > :07:52.to Goodison Park and for Scunthorpe who travelled to Stamford Bridge.

:07:53. > :07:54.Plus, there are five all Premier League clashes,

:07:55. > :07:57.of which features two clubs currently in the top four,

:07:58. > :08:01.We caught up with star defender Jan Vertonghen to talk about some

:08:02. > :08:05.Johnson over the top of Vertonghen, he has three options,

:08:06. > :08:16.It is a beauty, 1-1, and it is Jan Vertonghen.

:08:17. > :08:18.The FA Cup is a major tradition in England.

:08:19. > :08:21.The people around the club, they show their affection for the FA

:08:22. > :08:36.Whatever competition we play, we want to go as far as possible.

:08:37. > :08:40.We try to grow as a club, we want to show in the Premier

:08:41. > :08:49.I think we will have a strong team on Sunday.

:08:50. > :08:58.There is no point going into this game say at 50%, whatever.

:08:59. > :09:05.I have never played in a better team, I can say for a fact.

:09:06. > :09:07.And you can watch Tottenham versus Leicester tomorrow

:09:08. > :09:18.The pitch at Eastleigh has had to absorb an incredible amount

:09:19. > :09:20.of rainwater over the past few weeks, so much so that

:09:21. > :09:33.weekend's fixture was called off and head groundsman

:09:34. > :09:35.Tony has been working ever so hard to make sure the today's

:09:36. > :09:40.They even have rain covers on the pitch at the moment,

:09:41. > :09:44.so to help him out, we thought we would send him a new recruit,

:09:45. > :09:48.though I am not sure how useful he actually was.

:09:49. > :09:51.You do not really need to do that if you're going to be a groundsman.

:09:52. > :10:06.You're meant to be better dressed than that and you do not really need

:10:07. > :10:16.I take this ball everywhere, I need to use the ball.

:10:17. > :10:19.You cannot use the ball when you're working on the ground.

:10:20. > :10:22.Tony, this is my favourite ball, I have some super tricks

:10:23. > :10:26.All right, as long as it does not stop you doing the work

:10:27. > :10:37.Do some work on the pitch, please, now.

:10:38. > :10:45.Leave the ball and concentrate on making a nice straight line.

:10:46. > :10:50.Deary me, you will not make a groundsman.

:10:51. > :10:56.Sorry, John, you have not got the job, you are too laid-back.

:10:57. > :11:01.That was incredible, John, though I do not think Tony

:11:02. > :11:08.He thought I was a little bit too lazy.

:11:09. > :11:20.What was that, this invisible chair-ball balancing?

:11:21. > :11:22.Surely it is some kind of camera trickery.

:11:23. > :11:26.I can do it now if you want to see it.

:11:27. > :11:29.That sounds like an offer too good to refuse.

:11:30. > :11:34.There are some more people who would like to see it too.

:11:35. > :11:37.We still have Springhill, all decked out in their Eastleigh kit.

:11:38. > :11:55.Take my hands and I will use my power and your power and hold it

:11:56. > :12:24.That is of showing off from John Farnworth.

:12:25. > :12:30.It is time to see of Springhill can do a bit of showing off themselves.

:12:31. > :12:35.I want you to come out here and see many goals you can score

:12:36. > :12:38.Get yourselves in a line and away we go.

:12:39. > :12:56.While Springhill try and find the target,

:12:57. > :13:01.they are quite big ones, the viewers at home have been

:13:02. > :13:08.You lot at home have been sending in your videos

:13:09. > :13:13.A couple that caught my eyes even featured some

:13:14. > :13:43.They were marvellous, and please do keep sending us your skills. You can

:13:44. > :13:49.get a parent or guardian to film it on the smartphone or tablet and send

:13:50. > :13:56.it to us via the CBBC website. Now it is time for our dream five aside

:13:57. > :14:03.team and this week's manager is no stranger to getting his hands on a

:14:04. > :14:09.famous trophy. Hello, this is Jay McGuiness and this is my dream five

:14:10. > :14:13.aside team. I am in goal. You hold the strength of your body from

:14:14. > :14:19.beginning to the end and those are the best male arms I have seen from

:14:20. > :14:24.a celebrity. In defence, Rio Ferdinand. Looking for Ferdinand,

:14:25. > :14:39.how about that? We have got George Best. And Paul Scholes. What a

:14:40. > :14:49.drive. Up front, we have got Ronaldo. That is a great shot, it is

:14:50. > :14:53.a second goal in a day for Renaldo. That is just about all we got time

:14:54. > :14:57.for today, but the FA Cup third-round excitement has only just

:14:58. > :15:01.begun, with matches go lower over the next few days. Good luck to all

:15:02. > :15:05.the teams still involved in the competition, including the visitors

:15:06. > :15:10.today, Bolton Wanderers, but the last word, with it being the FA Cup

:15:11. > :15:17.full of giant killings, has got to go to the Eastleigh and this lot.

:15:18. > :15:18.Come on, use Spitfire is. Goodbye.
