Taxi. Where to? White Hart Lane, please. Righty-o. I'm a big Millwall

:00:10.:00:28.

fan, me. We haven't played them for years. Last time we played them, you

:00:29.:00:33.

scored. Times have changed since then. The game has gone mad, hasn't

:00:34.:00:41.

it? Some of them celebs, do me a favour. Since we last played them we

:00:42.:00:46.

made it to the FA Cup final. Loved that day. Not the result, mind. Our

:00:47.:00:53.

bomber Harris played up front that day, use our gaffer now. We've been

:00:54.:01:02.

brilliant this season. It would be great to see old Harry again. You

:01:03.:01:06.

know we put a lion in that boy's heart. One of your own? Ha! Anyway,

:01:07.:01:17.

here we are, White Hart Lane. He seems up for it. Welcome to the FA

:01:18.:01:20.

Cup quarterfinal, Tottenham versus Millwall.

:01:21.:02:01.

This will be the final FA Cup tie to be played at the old White Hart

:02:02.:02:12.

Lane. The development of Tottenham's new 61,000 seat stadium continues

:02:13.:02:16.

apace. The old ground is sure to have a raucous atmosphere for this

:02:17.:02:21.

London derby. Millwall of League 1 have already knocked out three

:02:22.:02:25.

Premier League clubs in this season's competitions. There are no

:02:26.:02:28.

replays, so we could have extra time or penalties to decide the tie.

:02:29.:02:37.

Welcome Jermaine Jenas, and we have reunited the old Sheeran Sheringham

:02:38.:02:40.

which is difficult to say. You were pretty good in your day. Cannot

:02:41.:02:46.

believe you pass this, Terry, there's no way I would have. I've

:02:47.:02:53.

told people in a few interviews, there is no way you should pass from

:02:54.:02:58.

a position like that. Beautifully sliced Finnish. You also played in

:02:59.:03:05.

the game back in 1990 at the Den, great memories, no doubt? Fantastic.

:03:06.:03:11.

The best of my career. We came through the ranks together, playing

:03:12.:03:15.

in the youth team, reserves, got into the first-team. Great memories

:03:16.:03:18.

looking back on these goals at the old a proper place to play. Always a

:03:19.:03:24.

warm welcome one got there as an away player, that's for sure. You

:03:25.:03:30.

were the record scorer for a long time until Neil Harris, the now

:03:31.:03:34.

manager, took over. People don't realise that was before the Premier

:03:35.:03:38.

League, there was a division before that. Football didn't exist before

:03:39.:03:42.

the Premier League. Scored a lot of goals, had a lot of fun along the

:03:43.:03:46.

way. Millwall have beaten three Premier League sides along the way

:03:47.:03:51.

but this is a different task. Yes, only conceded one in their last ten.

:03:52.:03:56.

It will be a very difficult day for Spurs. Having said that they have

:03:57.:03:59.

not come up against the opposition they are about to face today. You've

:04:00.:04:04.

seen Millwall a few times this season, you were saying earlier,

:04:05.:04:08.

they are on an impressive run? Really good, seven, eight games

:04:09.:04:12.

unbeaten at the moment. Even before that they've got a rigid formation.

:04:13.:04:18.

4-4- two, two banks of four, get it up to their front two who are very

:04:19.:04:26.

good, both can score goals, one big one, one little one. Spurs on a good

:04:27.:04:35.

run as well, Jermaine. They've been absolutely sensational at White Hart

:04:36.:04:38.

Lane this season. Since being knocked out of the Europa League

:04:39.:04:43.

we've seen a shift in Mauricio Pochettino's focus on desperately

:04:44.:04:46.

wanting to win a trophy. And the performance they put out against

:04:47.:04:55.

Fulham was sensational. It has been a strong run, and they are playing

:04:56.:04:59.

with such confidence, could be a tough afternoon for Millwall.

:05:00.:05:04.

Impressed by the progress of your former club Tottenham? Without a

:05:05.:05:08.

doubt. Pochettino has got his team performing. To a man they are very

:05:09.:05:12.

good and as a team they are exceptional. That's all you can ask

:05:13.:05:16.

other manager, to get your team performing. What do you make of

:05:17.:05:21.

Spurs, kind of an unusual season, at times very consistent at home, and

:05:22.:05:25.

some dodgy results in Europe? I think they'll be up for it. As you

:05:26.:05:30.

said in the opener, this is the last FA Cup tie here. They have a great

:05:31.:05:34.

history, albeit they have not won it since 1991. The fans are desperate

:05:35.:05:39.

for it. Could be a big season for them, still. Certainly could be.

:05:40.:05:45.

Let's confirm both teams. This is how Spurs line-up. Michael Vaughan

:05:46.:05:48.

is one of four changes to the side that beat Everton a week ago --

:05:49.:05:57.

Vorm. The same back three that started that match. Kieran Trippier

:05:58.:06:00.

and Harry Winks come in for their fourth successive FA Cup starts. Son

:06:01.:06:07.

Heung-Min is recalled, he and the in form Dele Alli will support striker

:06:08.:06:13.

Harry Kane. Hat-trick hero at Fulham in the last round, starting against

:06:14.:06:15.

the club where he launched his career five years ago. Let's take a

:06:16.:06:19.

look at the Millwall side. Tom King only made his league debut last

:06:20.:06:25.

month, continuing to deputise for the injured Jordan Archer. The club

:06:26.:06:30.

stalwart, Tony Craig, captains the side in a back four with no Premier

:06:31.:06:35.

League experience. On loan winger Jed Wallace makes his first start

:06:36.:06:40.

since returning from a calf injury. Upfront fit again Steve Morison

:06:41.:06:42.

reunited with Lee Gregory, the pair have scored 17 goals between them

:06:43.:06:50.

since the beginning of last season. The Millwall manager Neil Harris is

:06:51.:06:54.

a Lions legend. As a player his 138 goals broke a club record that was

:06:55.:06:59.

set by Teddy Sheringham back in the day. He has played in an FA Cup

:07:00.:07:04.

final for Millwall, now he has steered them to the quarterfinals.

:07:05.:07:08.

Mark Clement went to the seaside to meet him.

:07:09.:07:17.

Good chest and a good drive and a really fine goal by Harris.

:07:18.:07:28.

You've got these strong south London credentials but you are a Southend

:07:29.:07:33.

home bird which is why we are here today? Yes, this has always been my

:07:34.:07:38.

home, this is where I grew up, where my friends are, where my family up.

:07:39.:07:43.

Canvey Island just over there. You've got the pier. Just telling

:07:44.:07:47.

them how perfect it is to live down here. Beautiful, isn't it? I live

:07:48.:07:52.

about 15 minutes away. Amazing who you meet down here. Being by the

:07:53.:07:58.

sea, being near the family, I think certainly helps me focus and do my

:07:59.:08:02.

job. You could not have imagined when you turned up down there nearly

:08:03.:08:07.

20 years ago the bond you were going to form with that football club? No.

:08:08.:08:11.

There's been some highs and some lows, must admit. I've been

:08:12.:08:17.

fortunate. The club suits me as a person. Suits my ethics as well.

:08:18.:08:24.

During my playing days it was always said I wasn't the best player on the

:08:25.:08:26.

pitch but I would give everything and that's what the fans want to

:08:27.:08:30.

see, playing with that pride, passion and drive. I always gave

:08:31.:08:35.

that. I believe that gave me a good starting point to be manager. You

:08:36.:08:39.

mentioned highs and lows. I want to ask where the 2004 FA Cup final fit

:08:40.:08:43.

in, you were having some trouble at the time, Wisey didn't fancy you,

:08:44.:08:49.

was that bittersweet? Yes, moments when I was not playing regularly.

:08:50.:08:57.

That was a slight disappointment. It's been a hard, hard data Neil

:08:58.:09:02.

Harris. What that experience has enabled me to do is to pass back

:09:03.:09:09.

onto the players in this cup run. Played in four Cummings and Cummings

:09:10.:09:17.

scores! 90th minute of the match! Because of the life-threatening

:09:18.:09:21.

illness you had back in 2001, do you think you've got a perspective and

:09:22.:09:25.

subjectivity that maybe allows you to attack your work in a different

:09:26.:09:30.

manner? The perspective for me, I can look back sometimes and say,

:09:31.:09:36.

let's put this into reality, let's be disappointed when we've thrown

:09:37.:09:39.

the game away that we should have won but let's get up in the morning

:09:40.:09:43.

in the cold light of day and say, let's take the positives out of it,

:09:44.:09:48.

how can we get better, how does that not happen again? I'd like to think

:09:49.:09:52.

it certainly made me a stronger person. Do you think you can beat

:09:53.:09:56.

Spurs this weekend? Of course we can. It's a one-on-one fight on the

:09:57.:10:03.

day. Being underdogs suits us, Millwall Football Club is at its

:10:04.:10:06.

best with its back to the wall as an underdog. We will certainly embraced

:10:07.:10:12.

the occasion. We've got nothing to lose. Everybody expects Spurs to

:10:13.:10:16.

win. Nothing to lose but of a lot to gain. Well said. His done a terrific

:10:17.:10:26.

job, unbeaten in 17 games as well now. Like he said, the Millwall

:10:27.:10:29.

unity, they will come together today. No one likes them. They were

:10:30.:10:34.

come here and have a bit of fun today. Put in a workmanlike

:10:35.:10:40.

performance. As I said earlier, very solid, rigid, two banks of four. Get

:10:41.:10:45.

the ball up to the front two, very good. You never know what happens in

:10:46.:10:50.

a one-off tie. You've had a look at those two upfront? They will be a

:10:51.:10:54.

handful today. Not many times Tottenham will come up against a

:10:55.:10:59.

two, in the Premier League anyway, two out and out centre forwards.

:11:00.:11:03.

Millwall will not be afraid to get it for it and the vast majority, the

:11:04.:11:07.

two will be linking and working together. That was after a minute in

:11:08.:11:12.

their game against Watford. Getting the ball out wide. Long ball up, no

:11:13.:11:17.

harm in doing that. Look how well they work together. They know each

:11:18.:11:20.

other's game, they understand it, they've been around the block, both

:11:21.:11:26.

of them, if you times. Should actually do better. At every

:11:27.:11:29.

opportunity today the ball will be thrown into the box, thrown up

:11:30.:11:35.

towards them, one to flick it on, and they will be a threat. The other

:11:36.:11:41.

aspect is that they are pretty solid at the back as well, only conceding

:11:42.:11:46.

one in their last ten? It tells you they are very organised and he's got

:11:47.:11:49.

them playing the Whiteway. The thing that stood out for me, against

:11:50.:11:54.

Premier League opposition they have a percentage of about 38% which

:11:55.:12:00.

tells me they like to drop off. The record of unbeaten runs in their

:12:01.:12:02.

last ten games which is unbelievable.

:12:03.:12:07.

A bit like Leicester? It is. They put the ball in the channel, get

:12:08.:12:14.

them chasing and causing problems. I think Spurs should be expecting the

:12:15.:12:18.

same today. What will Spurs have to do differently than when they face a

:12:19.:12:24.

Premier League side? Well, Millwall will have no problem about sitting

:12:25.:12:28.

off and letting Tottenham come onto them. They know they will have a lot

:12:29.:12:32.

of possession. They've just got to be patient, work the ball. They've

:12:33.:12:37.

got a lot of good players. Big day for Harry win to find passes. He'll

:12:38.:12:43.

have Little Thompson against him, who likes a challenge, he'll be

:12:44.:12:47.

trying to leave one on him early on. For Tottenham they've got to kind of

:12:48.:12:50.

grind them down, make them move more than what they normally do. In the

:12:51.:12:55.

championship, in the First Division, teams don't really like to break

:12:56.:13:00.

teams down. Where is Tottenham have the capacity to be able to pass it,

:13:01.:13:04.

come back out, move out the other side, and they do that so well as

:13:05.:13:09.

well. Let's go pitch side for two men who played with distinction for

:13:10.:13:11.

these two clubs. Good afternoon, two former captains

:13:12.:13:20.

here. Former Spurs captain Michael Dawson at Hull City, and Paul

:13:21.:13:26.

Robinson. Huge day for Millwall, they will not come here with any

:13:27.:13:31.

fear and they certainly have big backing inside White Hart Lane. It's

:13:32.:13:34.

fantastic and obviously the fans will be in good voice. With the FA

:13:35.:13:38.

Cup you get a lot of away fans, they will be making a lot of noise. The

:13:39.:13:42.

challenge for Neil Harris is to put a team on the pitch for fans to

:13:43.:13:47.

identify with. To knock out three Premier League teams so far they

:13:48.:13:52.

have certainly done that. And Michael, Mauricio Pochettino has

:13:53.:13:55.

come strong again, he had to today, who is key for you? Armstrong after

:13:56.:14:03.

the only scraping through -- he has gone strong. Harry Kane in fine

:14:04.:14:08.

form, scoring goals, I'm sure he'll be looking to get on the scoresheet

:14:09.:14:13.

today. Dele Alli, another top player. Certainly Millwall will need

:14:14.:14:17.

to be at their best. Harry Kane is somebody you played alongside at

:14:18.:14:19.

Millwall, what was he like as a youngster? Did you see him having

:14:20.:14:25.

this career path? Hand on heart I would probably say for him to be

:14:26.:14:28.

leading the line for club and country, to be the leading Premier

:14:29.:14:32.

League scorer, that was a tough thing to say at that time, but he

:14:33.:14:36.

had a chance. He had a good work ethic, good head on young shoulders,

:14:37.:14:39.

and the ruthless thing of all top strikers of wanting to score goals,

:14:40.:14:44.

wanting to work and his trade. Even as an 18-year-old he scored some

:14:45.:14:48.

important goals. Fantastic to see him doing well. Spurs go in as

:14:49.:14:52.

favourites. They've challenged in the last couple of seasons in the

:14:53.:14:56.

Premier League. Do they now need to make the next step to get a trophy,

:14:57.:15:01.

get some silverware and show that they can contend? been a long time

:15:02.:15:05.

since they have had silverware, 2012 since they were last at Wembley,

:15:06.:15:10.

semifinal. Great opportunity to do it today and that is what they will

:15:11.:15:15.

be doing, the fans here today, at a new stadium, got to get silverware

:15:16.:15:19.

to take the next step. It is a huge match for both teams. Predictions?

:15:20.:15:26.

3-1 Spurs. 2-1 Millwall. We have one of each, surprise surprise, I will

:15:27.:15:31.

not make any score predictions but I predict it will be loud because it

:15:32.:15:36.

is already allowed in here, Gary. STUDIO: One of Tottenham's Keith men

:15:37.:15:40.

is Toby Alderweireld, who is regarded, and is, one of the best

:15:41.:15:44.

defenders in the Premier League -- key mental and formed an excellent

:15:45.:15:48.

partnership with his fellow defender Jan Vertonghen. Alderweireld wants

:15:49.:15:52.

to get his hands on an FA Cup medal, just like Garth Crooks.

:15:53.:15:56.

You and the Tongan have played together quite a lot over the years.

:15:57.:16:02.

Can you tell me how many games you've lost in the 128 games you've

:16:03.:16:08.

played in in Holland and England? I don't know, 35, 40. 14. That is

:16:09.:16:18.

pretty amazing, isn't it? Surprised? Jan is doing pretty well isn't he?

:16:19.:16:23.

CHUCKLES You've been in London a little while

:16:24.:16:29.

you settled here and comfortable? Yes, everything is well, my family

:16:30.:16:36.

is good, I feel at home here, I bought an apartment as well so I

:16:37.:16:40.

have settled well. We heard a few rumours you are a bit homesick.

:16:41.:16:45.

People ask about me and of course I miss my family and I miss home but I

:16:46.:16:50.

love it here. If I want to feel that good I wouldn't perform on the pitch

:16:51.:16:56.

-- if I wouldn't feel that good. But of course if you ask me if I miss

:16:57.:16:59.

Belgium and my family, of course I miss them but it doesn't affect my

:17:00.:17:04.

game. Now we have a situation where one by one this group is re-signing

:17:05.:17:10.

their contracts to Tottenham. How close are you to committing to

:17:11.:17:15.

Tottenham? I focus on the pitch, I do what I do, it is all rumours and

:17:16.:17:19.

there is nothing I can say about it, so I just try and focus on the pitch

:17:20.:17:23.

and do my performance and help the team in that way, my contract is

:17:24.:17:28.

something I don't have control of now. You're playing Millwall, do you

:17:29.:17:32.

know much about the rivalry between Spurs and Millwall? I know that

:17:33.:17:34.

every London derby is special, especially this one, or we try and

:17:35.:17:39.

focus on the team we play against. It's going to be a massive

:17:40.:17:45.

atmosphere so I'm looking forward to it at the Lane. The Millwall fans

:17:46.:17:50.

are very intense and will bring lots of atmosphere. Yes but I love all

:17:51.:17:55.

fans and ours will take over and I love to play at the Lane and base --

:17:56.:18:02.

they really support the team and give something extra. Were you aware

:18:03.:18:07.

of the FA Cup as a kid growing up in yes, of course. It's the biggest cup

:18:08.:18:15.

in the world. There is Belgium's up, Holland's up but the FA Cup is the

:18:16.:18:19.

biggest one in the world so it is a big prize.

:18:20.:18:26.

And are you aware of the traditions with the FA Cup and Tottenham

:18:27.:18:29.

Hotspur Football? I don't want to look too much at the

:18:30.:18:35.

past, just the future. We have to do our best to bring one home. Harry

:18:36.:18:39.

Kane, Danny Rose, or the other English boys haven't mentioned this?

:18:40.:18:44.

No, they just say we have to win the next tournament.

:18:45.:18:45.

I think Garth Crooks was desperate for him to acknowledge the fact he'd

:18:46.:18:49.

won the FA Cup. I don't think Toby had a clue, did he? Terrific central

:18:50.:18:56.

defender, that's for sure. Me he is the best central defender in the

:18:57.:18:59.

Premier League, he has everything to his game. We have a graphic of him

:19:00.:19:03.

playing at other clubs here and where the team has stood from a

:19:04.:19:08.

defensive record. Ajax people might say he was a lot younger but look at

:19:09.:19:13.

that one, 2000 14-15 season, Southampton, second in differences

:19:14.:19:16.

in the Premier League at that point shows how valuable he is as a

:19:17.:19:23.

defender -- 2014 - 15. He never panics and doesn't dive in at the

:19:24.:19:26.

wrong moment. He chooses the right moment to make his move, he reads

:19:27.:19:30.

the situation well, has a little nibble, he doesn't switch off, lots

:19:31.:19:34.

of defenders would switch off, he knows there is danger and gets into

:19:35.:19:37.

a good position. This is an unbelievable part of Toby's game, so

:19:38.:19:43.

calm and comfortable on the ball and in the situations strikers and

:19:44.:19:46.

midfielders start coming to life because he has a whole different

:19:47.:19:50.

array of passing. That is a low fade, that is a midfielder's pass,

:19:51.:19:53.

you don't expect centre halves to hit balls like that and the

:19:54.:19:57.

relationship everyone knows he has with Dele Alli over the years, Dele

:19:58.:20:03.

Alli makes the run and he casually found him over 50 yards. In this

:20:04.:20:10.

game, that comfortable but he says, let me do it with my left foot, and

:20:11.:20:15.

sprays it out of his left foot, so, and comfortable on the ball and he's

:20:16.:20:19.

the best in the business at centre-half. Is a fraud you always

:20:20.:20:22.

weigh up who you are playing against and I look at Toby and think could I

:20:23.:20:30.

do bully him,, I'm not sure? I think if you want a running behind or have

:20:31.:20:33.

a scrap with him he can do everything. Watching his interview,

:20:34.:20:37.

should Tottenham be concerned that he was noncommittal in terms of his

:20:38.:20:41.

long-term future at Tottenham? He didn't really want to get involved

:20:42.:20:45.

in that chat. He wasn't expecting the question, talking about the big

:20:46.:20:49.

FA Cup quarterfinal coming up and all of a sudden the contract comes

:20:50.:20:53.

up. They wouldn't want to lose him, would they? Not at all, I played

:20:54.:20:58.

with some good centre halves in my time at Tottenham, Sol Campbell and

:20:59.:21:01.

Ledley King and he is up there but he has some body alongside him,

:21:02.:21:05.

Vertonghen, a great relationship, and that builds a great basis in the

:21:06.:21:11.

team. It is now four years since Mauricio Pochettino arrived in the

:21:12.:21:14.

Premier League and is fast becoming one of the most highly rated

:21:15.:21:15.

managers in Europe. Ho-ho-ho it's magic.

:21:16.:21:34.

# Ho-ho-ho it's magic never believe it's not so #

:21:35.:21:49.

You have gone with another strong side today. How much importance to

:21:50.:21:55.

you now place on the FA Cup is a realistic chance of some silverware

:21:56.:21:57.

this season? I think it is very important. We are only one game to

:21:58.:22:04.

go to Wembley. I think it's very important day for us, the FA Cup and

:22:05.:22:12.

the Premier League, and it is a massive game for us today. We have

:22:13.:22:15.

Alan Shearer in the studio. Earlier this week you said you thought Harry

:22:16.:22:19.

Kane could go on and beat his goal-scoring record. What is it that

:22:20.:22:23.

you see in Harry that makes you say that? Now that I was thinking a

:22:24.:22:28.

little bit it will be very difficult for Harry because it is an amazing,

:22:29.:22:33.

amazing record. We were talking a little bit before. Harry needs to

:22:34.:22:38.

score 20 goals in the next ten years every season, 20 Premier League

:22:39.:22:42.

goals to try to catch Alan. I think it was unbelievable what Alan made

:22:43.:22:48.

in the Premier League, and it will be tough for Harry to catch up with

:22:49.:22:55.

him. Can he do it? You hope not! LAUGHTER

:22:56.:22:58.

I said that without moving my lips! If he stays free from injury and of

:22:59.:23:03.

course if he stays here because over the years Tottenham have sold a lot

:23:04.:23:08.

of their best players. It depends whether Tottenham are going to be

:23:09.:23:11.

successful over the next two or three years, I would imagine. What I

:23:12.:23:15.

would say about Harry, and I am a huge fan, there was a time in my

:23:16.:23:18.

career similar to his age now where I thought... The penny dropped and I

:23:19.:23:24.

thought I deserved to be in that list of players up there at that

:23:25.:23:28.

time. I think he's at that stage of his career now where he thinks that.

:23:29.:23:32.

He can do almost anything, he can score almost any girl, whether it's

:23:33.:23:38.

headers, left foot, right foot and when you get to the stage of your

:23:39.:23:43.

career -- score almost any goal. More often than not there are two

:23:44.:23:46.

guys looking to pick you up, you are not battling just one or -- and

:23:47.:23:53.

that's the sign of the player. No backlift, in the back of the net. He

:23:54.:23:56.

can do this because those Everton defenders are happy with him there,

:23:57.:24:02.

43 yards and all of a sudden the ball is in the back of the net so

:24:03.:24:06.

they are not happy at all. He has a hell of a record and I am a huge fan

:24:07.:24:10.

of his. He is handling the situation well. For the third consecutive year

:24:11.:24:14.

he has scored 20 plus goals now so I think he is comfortable at this

:24:15.:24:17.

level and comfortable being talked about as a top player and he will

:24:18.:24:21.

only get better. It is probably not for you to say but in many ways he

:24:22.:24:25.

is a bit like Alan Shearer, isn't he? Good in the air, likes the shot

:24:26.:24:29.

from long-range. I've been asked this a couple of times this week. He

:24:30.:24:34.

has a little bit more than Alan Shearer!

:24:35.:24:35.

LAUGHTER He passes the ball as well. This guy

:24:36.:24:42.

never passed, he shot, which is fine, when you play with a centre

:24:43.:24:45.

forward and he shoots you know you can only get the ball off the

:24:46.:24:49.

goalkeeper or a rebound but Harry has a little bit extra in as much as

:24:50.:24:53.

he can drop a little bit deeper and thread the ball through, which

:24:54.:24:56.

worked so well with Harry Kane, one combines and one goes long. He has

:24:57.:25:02.

already gone past us in terms of hat-tricks for Tottenham. He has a

:25:03.:25:05.

bit of everything. Was there ever a time in your career when you thought

:25:06.:25:09.

I enjoy it at this level and enjoy the way people are talking about me

:25:10.:25:12.

and the penny drops and you think I love playing at the top level.

:25:13.:25:18.

Without a doubt. He has masses of the Dylan Sage that he doesn't rely

:25:19.:25:21.

on pace. He still manages to get that yard -- he has a massive

:25:22.:25:28.

advantage that he doesn't rely on pace. You look at Henry and you

:25:29.:25:32.

think you are going to get slower. He's obviously a marked man and has

:25:33.:25:36.

a reputation so does that make it harder? It does, as we say he has a

:25:37.:25:40.

bit of everything. If you cannot run someone you drop off deep and if you

:25:41.:25:44.

can't beat them in the year you can shoot from distance and he has

:25:45.:25:47.

something and can score from anywhere. They have to keep him.

:25:48.:25:52.

That will depend on how Tottenham successful Tottenham are going to be

:25:53.:25:55.

in the next two or three years. It's inevitable if he keeps on improving

:25:56.:25:59.

and scoring the goals it is inevitable that interest will come

:26:00.:26:02.

in from other clubs. Whistle Pochettino interviewed and that's

:26:03.:26:08.

the other thing -- we saw Pochettino interviewed. He's been looked with

:26:09.:26:13.

Barcelona. It depends what Tottenham want to be, they have this fantastic

:26:14.:26:17.

stadium and fantastic training ground and the message to the fans

:26:18.:26:20.

is we're going to be a Champions League club, challenging for titles

:26:21.:26:23.

and to do that they need top players so they will have to keep their

:26:24.:26:27.

players and to do that you have to pay them top money and that is where

:26:28.:26:31.

spares may find it difficult at times. Hickam Millwall finally, they

:26:32.:26:34.

kept Spurs waiting a while in the tunnel. Interesting to see those

:26:35.:26:38.

pictures of that massive stadium looming over White Hart Lane. You

:26:39.:26:43.

deserve a shot at this because of how well they have played in this

:26:44.:26:48.

competition. They have beaten three Premier League teams to get here so

:26:49.:26:52.

they deserve that. I hope it doesn't faze them. They've got one or two

:26:53.:26:56.

experienced players which they will need and they will also need a bit

:26:57.:27:00.

of luck but good luck to them, they deserve to be here. Big day for

:27:01.:27:03.

Millwall, Tottenham against Millwall for a place in the semifinals of The

:27:04.:27:07.

Emirates FA Cup. Your commentators are Danny Murphy and Steve Wilson.

:27:08.:27:13.

COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Gary, good afternoon everybody. 115 years on

:27:14.:27:19.

from the first White Hart Lane has opened its doors for the last FA Cup

:27:20.:27:26.

tie to be played at this famous old ground. 202 matches including 12

:27:27.:27:32.

semifinals, which is where these two sides are hoping to be in tomorrow

:27:33.:27:38.

night's draw. Spares hungry for success, second in the Premier

:27:39.:27:40.

League but with Chelsea almost out of sight in that competition in the

:27:41.:27:45.

FA Cup looks then most likely route to a trophy and ending that wait for

:27:46.:27:50.

silverware that stretches back to 2008.

:27:51.:28:00.

Their opposition, Millwall, two divisions below but under Neil

:28:01.:28:06.

Harris bidding for promotion to the Championship, and they are the only

:28:07.:28:10.

side in the top four leagues in England yet to lose a game in 2017.

:28:11.:28:16.

Their last defeat was December 17th, 17 games ago. And there is the man

:28:17.:28:27.

so far of 2017. As we saw that list of goal-scorers in the top five

:28:28.:28:31.

European leagues, Harry Kane but this is the company he is keeping

:28:32.:28:35.

now. That list said: Griezmann 12, 11. Skeete, Lacazette and Suarez 13,

:28:36.:28:45.

Kane and Cavani 14, Messi 16. He is in amongst the best of the best.

:28:46.:28:51.

Spares yet to play top-flight side this season's FA Cup and the

:28:52.:29:02.

furthest they have had to travel is Fulham. The cup keeper Michel Vorm

:29:03.:29:06.

keeps his place as does the back three of Eric Dier, Alderweireld and

:29:07.:29:09.

Vertonghen. Kieran Trippier and Harry Winks come into the middle

:29:10.:29:13.

four, Son Heung-min who has a good goal-scoring record in this

:29:14.:29:17.

competition, and Dele Alli who has a good goal-scoring record in every

:29:18.:29:21.

competition support Harry Kane whose first-ever senior honour would have

:29:22.:29:24.

been the Millwall young Player of the Year in 2012 at the end of a

:29:25.:29:30.

loan spell which Kane says helps to make him a man. Three Premier League

:29:31.:29:35.

scalps already for Millwall but therefore former Spurs trainee

:29:36.:29:38.

Jordan Archer, the goalkeeper, is injured, so Tom King continues to

:29:39.:29:47.

deputise in goal. 21-year-old midfielder Ben Thompson is very

:29:48.:29:52.

highly rated. Upfront Gregory has 14 goals this season and Morison 15

:29:53.:30:01.

goals. Danny Murphy, Millwall are the last of the minnows in this

:30:02.:30:05.

season's FA Cup. It has been a tournament of upsets so far, but can

:30:06.:30:06.

they provide one more? They will believe they can. They

:30:07.:30:14.

deserve great credit for what they have already done. Doesn't matter

:30:15.:30:18.

what level of football you play at, if you go 17 games unbeaten and you

:30:19.:30:23.

are a good side. They've obviously got leaders who organise each other,

:30:24.:30:27.

good defending, clean sheets, we were talking about earlier, weren't

:30:28.:30:34.

we? Unbeatable Daly unbelievable. Options on the bench for Spurs

:30:35.:30:40.

include Christian Eriksen, he of multiple assists this season. Of

:30:41.:30:44.

course disappointment for Onyedinma and Ferguson who both have been left

:30:45.:30:51.

out of the starting line-up today but are amongst the substitute.

:30:52.:31:00.

Martin Atkinson is the referee. And when you're up against Harry Kane

:31:01.:31:03.

and Dele Alli then you know you are up against a very, very good duo.

:31:04.:31:11.

When Harry Met Ali, that line must have been used many times, but

:31:12.:31:15.

dealing with it is something different. I'd not actually heard

:31:16.:31:21.

that, that's a good one. Do you know what? Neither had I, but I thought

:31:22.:31:26.

somebody must have used it. Neil Harris played in the cup final in

:31:27.:31:31.

2004 on the losing side to Manchester United. Can he died

:31:32.:31:38.

Millwall to the cup semifinal? -- can he guide them? We know Arsenal

:31:39.:31:42.

are there, we know Manchester City are there into the last four. Will

:31:43.:31:47.

it be Tottenham or Millwall with Chelsea and Manchester United to

:31:48.:31:50.

battle it out tomorrow for the last place? It is Millwall all in yellow

:31:51.:31:56.

from left-to-right, of course. With Martin Atkinson in charge. And

:31:57.:32:01.

Tottenham Hotspur in the white and dark blue.

:32:02.:32:05.

Eric Dier to Alderweireld. Vertonghen.

:32:06.:32:16.

It's going to be a boisterous atmosphere. There's that ball from

:32:17.:32:23.

Alderweireld, first of the afternoon. Not quite on the mark

:32:24.:32:28.

with his first attempt. Actually played a couple of games with Neil

:32:29.:32:32.

Harris, came to Liverpool on trial, played a couple of reserve games

:32:33.:32:36.

together. Great lad, actually. Decent footballer. Really nice lad.

:32:37.:32:42.

Pleased to see him doing so well with Millwall. Excellent

:32:43.:32:48.

goal-scorer, and proving to be an excellent manager. That was the

:32:49.:32:53.

first flick on from Gregory towards Morison. Went through to Vorm. Here

:32:54.:33:08.

is Wanyama. Trippier, whose delivery from the right-hand side, he doesn't

:33:09.:33:13.

often get the chance to show it because Kyle Walker is just so good,

:33:14.:33:17.

but Trippier never let them down. I'm a big fan of his. Last time we

:33:18.:33:22.

were here, you are right, his delivery is up there with any

:33:23.:33:23.

full-back I have seen, tremendous. Son Heung-Min has actually scored

:33:24.:33:38.

four goals in this tournament in seven appearances in his career in

:33:39.:33:45.

the FA Cup. Kane, just nicked away from him in the nick of time. But

:33:46.:33:49.

lost again. Son Heung-Min could not wriggle through. Wanyama, and now a

:33:50.:33:55.

chance for Trippier to deliver. Brings it on to his left. Cleared

:33:56.:34:04.

away. It's always hard when you are a lower league team coming you come

:34:05.:34:07.

to a big club, you want to get some touches of the ball and settle

:34:08.:34:13.

yourself. At the moment obviously Tottenham are dominating possession.

:34:14.:34:18.

Ben Davies, new contract signed this week. Kept in, I think, by Dele

:34:19.:34:25.

Alli. Millwall were hoping to get in behind for the corner.

:34:26.:34:32.

Gregory couldn't get it back to Thompson, it has only gone to Son

:34:33.:34:41.

Heung-Min. Kane and Dele Alli inside the penalty area. Winks! It's on

:34:42.:34:47.

target, and Tom King treated it with respect. Hooked out but only to

:34:48.:35:05.

Troicki once more. -- Trippier. Wanyama holding off O'Brien. Here is

:35:06.:35:06.

Harry will. -- Winks. Tottenham have been camped

:35:07.:35:21.

inside Millwall territory. Winks around the corner back to Son. We

:35:22.:35:29.

saw the Winks shot a little bit earlier, not a bad effort, keeper

:35:30.:35:36.

did well. Got to be careful, Millwall, not to pay them too much

:35:37.:35:40.

respect, dropping off too deep, letting them have space to shoot

:35:41.:35:44.

from there. Decent save for Tom King, the young goalkeeper, who is

:35:45.:35:47.

just sort of finding his way, really, in senior football. Released

:35:48.:35:52.

by Crystal Palace. Had a loan spell at Welling and another at Braintree.

:35:53.:35:58.

Just celebrated his 22nd birthday, the Millwall deputy. Got to feel for

:35:59.:36:02.

Jordan Archer, young goalkeeper, Spurs trainee, groin injury. Missed

:36:03.:36:08.

the last four games. I'm told he did everything that could possibly be

:36:09.:36:11.

done to be involved today but in the end beaten by the injury and denied

:36:12.:36:17.

the chance to face his former club. That's a good ball, Trippier to

:36:18.:36:21.

Harry Kane, definitely onside. King stood up at the post. No kind of

:36:22.:36:25.

angle for Harry Kane but he went for it anyway. I think he has hurt

:36:26.:36:29.

himself. But why is he shooting from there? We know he has scored a lot

:36:30.:36:39.

of goals. He has done something. This is the constant fear... As he

:36:40.:36:44.

lands on his right ankle. Nagging fear for Spurs fans all the time,

:36:45.:36:48.

particularly given that Vincent Janssen has not looked to be an able

:36:49.:36:52.

deputy so far. We didn't quite see it then. As he has taken the shop

:36:53.:36:56.

and he lands on his right foot, just loses balance with the ankle.

:36:57.:37:09.

He's off the pitch so play can carry on and Harry Winks is going to take

:37:10.:37:19.

the corner. Tracking it away from Wallace. Winks. Needed three

:37:20.:37:24.

attempts to make that absolutely safe.

:37:25.:37:35.

This is the Winks chance we have just seen. Harry Kane, meantime,

:37:36.:37:47.

back on his feet, but hobbling behind the goal. Son Heung-Min,

:37:48.:37:52.

accelerating towards Cooper. Dele Alli inside the penalty area, good

:37:53.:37:57.

feet by the South Korean, then stayed on his feet. King at the post

:37:58.:38:01.

again, for all five saves already from Tom King. Done the same again,

:38:02.:38:08.

Son. Dele Alli was therefore a tap in. Seems to be shoot on sight for

:38:09.:38:13.

Spurs at the moment. It's greedy. Lack of awareness or greed, one of

:38:14.:38:15.

the two. Harry Kane is coming off. Well,

:38:16.:38:32.

there's no point taking a big risk. They are dominating the game.

:38:33.:38:36.

Obviously you would like him out there, and fingers crossed for him,

:38:37.:38:39.

we know they struggle in that area, we always talk about it. Here is

:38:40.:38:47.

Kieran Trippier. Jan Vertonghen, that's a good ball in.

:38:48.:38:58.

Well, that's a sad sight for Tottenham fans. Yeah. He's had a

:38:59.:39:05.

couple of ankle issues in the past. Maybe we'll see better. As he comes

:39:06.:39:10.

down, there... Ooh, yeah. His right ankle caught between the legs of the

:39:11.:39:15.

defender and bends horribly. Complete accident, obviously. Yeah.

:39:16.:39:23.

Will it be a disappointment to Gareth Southgate as well? England

:39:24.:39:26.

with two games coming up, friendly against Germany and the match

:39:27.:39:29.

against Lithuania in World Cup qualifying. Harry Kane is yet to

:39:30.:39:33.

play for England under Gareth Southgate because of injury. Well, I

:39:34.:39:42.

mean, that looks a nasty one. The fact he was able to walk up the side

:39:43.:39:45.

of the pitch and down the tunnel is, I would suggest, a good thing. So,

:39:46.:39:54.

Christian Eriksen is getting instruction. He will be on shortly.

:39:55.:40:03.

He hasn't got any confidence in the lab Janssen, has he? If the striker

:40:04.:40:09.

is coming off, you would think he would go up there. Four goals for

:40:10.:40:13.

Janssen since he moved here, all of them penalties. Alderweireld

:40:14.:40:17.

covering. Cleared only as far as Dele Alli.

:40:18.:41:04.

Harry Winks. Trippier again, that's a good ball. Unlike him, isn't it?

:41:05.:41:11.

Jinxed him a bit. His quality from their normally very good -- from

:41:12.:41:21.

there. So, Christian Eriksen comes on. Jan Vertonghen taking the

:41:22.:41:23.

Captain's armband. Looks at the moment like Son

:41:24.:41:45.

Heung-Min and Dele Alli are almost going to play as a two with Eriksen

:41:46.:41:53.

just behind. Here is Son. Ten minutes has been almost all Spurs

:41:54.:41:56.

but the story is the injury to Harry Kane so far unfortunately. Here is

:41:57.:41:58.

Eriksen. Jan Vertonghen. Every yellow shirt now behind the

:41:59.:42:20.

ball. Ben Davies weights, thought about the shot, then clips it

:42:21.:42:24.

cleverly away to the far side, Trippier inside to Son. Eriksen.

:42:25.:42:31.

Decent block. And here goes Morison, looking up and seeing where Gregory

:42:32.:42:35.

is, and just behind Gregory, dealt with by Jan Vertonghen. Do you know

:42:36.:42:41.

what? He did the first bit so, so well. Great first touch from

:42:42.:42:47.

Morison. Didn't need to give it away, had time to settle on the ball

:42:48.:42:52.

and wait for some support. This is the foul on Son. No arguments there.

:42:53.:42:59.

The back four of Millwall have a really nice shape but they are too

:43:00.:43:05.

narrow. If you go too narrow, you make it so easy for them to get

:43:06.:43:09.

crosses in. You've got to find that balance. You may remember Harry Kane

:43:10.:43:13.

got injured in September against Sunderland and did not play again

:43:14.:43:18.

until early November, and that was an injury to the same ankle. Winks

:43:19.:43:27.

with the free kick. Millwall with the goalkick. That's disappointing.

:43:28.:43:37.

Reached the play-off final last season with Millwall, Neil Harris.

:43:38.:43:50.

And lost the final two -- to Barnsley. Nickname chopper,

:43:51.:43:59.

presumably in reference to Ron Harris.

:44:00.:44:02.

They've not done much other than defend, Millwall, but they've got

:44:03.:44:21.

through it. Stay in the game early on, get a bit of confidence. They'll

:44:22.:44:25.

be pleased they have not conceded an early goal, there's nothing worse.

:44:26.:44:33.

Here's Winks. Behind off Jed Wallace for the Spurs

:44:34.:44:56.

corner kick. The wide men so far have been almost auxiliary

:44:57.:45:01.

full-backs. Because the back four is so narrow. Very similar to what

:45:02.:45:05.

Aston Villa did hear a couple of rounds ago. So, Christian Eriksen to

:45:06.:45:16.

take. Alderweireld trying to get the near post flick but it was Morison

:45:17.:45:19.

who made last contact. Another Spurs corner. If you are just joining us,

:45:20.:45:25.

Harry Kane substituted in the seventh minute with what looked like

:45:26.:45:33.

a nasty injury to his right ankle. Eriksen's Corner carefully delivered

:45:34.:45:40.

into the box. Space here for Jan Vertonghen, he's used it

:45:41.:45:45.

intelligently. Son Heung-Min couldn't quite reach its. Yeah,

:45:46.:45:46.

unlucky. Winks has started brightly. Good little pass from Vertonghen, a

:45:47.:46:01.

few yards ahead of Son, who now has the responsibility of trying to run

:46:02.:46:04.

in behind, find the space, give them a focal point. There is the view of

:46:05.:46:12.

the day. Only a bit higher than us. Was just thinking, I wouldn't fancy

:46:13.:46:23.

that. Trippier, Dele Alli in behind. Well, little bit of a let off.

:46:24.:46:26.

Webster can clear. Here is Morison, the free kick goes

:46:27.:46:37.

Tottenham's way for a foul against Steve Morison. Dele Alli here,

:46:38.:46:43.

beautifully found. Yes, Trippier with the diagonal, the keep her

:46:44.:46:50.

umming and ahing, in the end he got caught in no man's land and Dele

:46:51.:46:56.

Alli should have done better. The time and trying to play it between

:46:57.:47:06.

Wallace and Cummings. Alderweireld to Michel Vorm, Hugo Lloris amongst

:47:07.:47:09.

the French Dominic substitutes. The Frenchman has only played one cup

:47:10.:47:15.

tucked for Tottenham, when they drew Arsenal in the third round three

:47:16.:47:21.

years ago. He doesn't always make the bench in the cup but he has

:47:22.:47:25.

today. That is nicely played, Christian Eriksen. Another corner,

:47:26.:47:31.

the weight of pressure continues to grow on Millwall's goal. Another

:47:32.:47:38.

good move from Tottenham. Eriksen making runs behind different

:47:39.:47:42.

players, getting into that space is important.

:47:43.:47:52.

Eriksen with this delivery short to Dele Alli. Good positioning from

:47:53.:48:02.

coupettes get ahead on that in front of Toby Alderweireld.

:48:03.:48:11.

Well, the Millwall fans enjoyed that, they have a throw in deep in

:48:12.:48:16.

Tottenham territory. You could see why they keep so many clean sheets.

:48:17.:48:22.

I'm sure they are not quite this negative in the league but they are

:48:23.:48:26.

well organised and have a very good shape. They have conceded two in 13,

:48:27.:48:31.

they went 14 and a half hours without conceding at all. Now that's

:48:32.:48:34.

impressive. Very well-organised team under Neil

:48:35.:48:42.

Harris. It's worth saying that Millwall have

:48:43.:48:59.

reached the FA Cup semifinal more recently than Spurs, beaten by Wigan

:49:00.:49:10.

as Wigan went on to lift the cup. Eriksen, blocked by Thompson.

:49:11.:49:16.

Millwall's number eight Ben Thompson is very highly regarded, he's been

:49:17.:49:22.

given a four and a half year contract, lifetime Millwall fan, he

:49:23.:49:29.

was there as a ten-year-old with his dad at that semifinal. Wallace has

:49:30.:49:33.

flown forward from the right of midfield. A chance now for Craig to

:49:34.:49:37.

deliver but instead goes to Williams. That's a shame, straight

:49:38.:49:40.

down the midriff of Michel Vorm. It was a shame but it was a good idea.

:49:41.:49:45.

They got some men forward in the box there.

:49:46.:49:51.

Wanyama. Look at that run. Brilliantly found, too. Trippier

:49:52.:49:55.

just couldn't control it. Hands on the head because he might have done

:49:56.:50:00.

more with that. It was a great break, wasn't it? He got in behind

:50:01.:50:04.

really well, SuperPACs, he will be disappointed with that. Just under

:50:05.:50:15.

4000 Millwall fans at White Hart Lane. -- super pass. They have never

:50:16.:50:19.

won on this ground, two draws is the best they have ever done, 1-1 in

:50:20.:50:25.

1929 and 3-3 in March 1978, Glenn Hoddle was amongst the Spurs scorer

:50:26.:50:30.

that day and Brian Hamilton for Millwall, former Everton midfielder

:50:31.:50:36.

and Northern Ireland International. Trippier forward to Son. Winks. Son.

:50:37.:50:56.

I like Millwall's middle two Williams is six and Thompson is

:50:57.:51:00.

eight. Williams is a clever player, both are tenacious. Alderweireld and

:51:01.:51:05.

that is a trip by Wanyama. On Thompson. One thing is for sure with

:51:06.:51:13.

those two, they are going to get through a lot of work. They look

:51:14.:51:16.

like they are more than willing to do it. Yes, it is a foul. Ben

:51:17.:51:25.

Thompson did well there. Well, this free kick is in an

:51:26.:51:28.

interesting position for the League 1 side.

:51:29.:51:33.

Jake Cooper, all six up from the back for Millwall, number 24. --

:51:34.:51:51.

6'7", number 24. -- 6'7" not many people could look Peter Crouch in

:51:52.:51:52.

the eye but he could. They will have worked on these all

:51:53.:52:11.

week, Millwall. It's Williams with the delivery, Wanyama left at the

:52:12.:52:14.

back poacher marking Morison and Morison's header bounced possibly

:52:15.:52:19.

off Davies actually, it is a corner. Yes, it was a good delivery looking

:52:20.:52:26.

for Morison, and good movement in front as well. Millwall's first

:52:27.:52:33.

corner of the game. 20 minutes played. Shaun Williams to take this.

:52:34.:52:47.

Williams's delivery. Michel Vorm, could take them under pressure from

:52:48.:52:54.

Gregory, possibly fouled by Gregory but he claimed it. Yes, it was a

:52:55.:52:58.

good take. Difficult ball, lots of bodies around it. That is

:52:59.:53:06.

encouragement for Millwall, and it all started because of some

:53:07.:53:09.

slightly, well, very sloppy Spurs play. Well, there was a buzz and a

:53:10.:53:17.

temper when Kane was on the pitch and it's kind of lost a little bit

:53:18.:53:19.

of that. Understandable. Tottenham are a team of so many star

:53:20.:53:32.

players. But Harry Kane is the star involved, if you like. As a player,

:53:33.:53:37.

Danny, if the star man is ruled out of your team does it affect you when

:53:38.:53:41.

you are out on the pitch? Does it put a doubt in your mind or affect

:53:42.:53:45.

your confidence while you are playing? I think if it happens in

:53:46.:53:49.

the middle of the game you do feel a bit deflated after a while but you

:53:50.:53:59.

know you have got to get on and you have a game to win and give somebody

:54:00.:54:02.

else an opportunity. But the Harry Kane situation is very different

:54:03.:54:04.

because they are so reliant on his goals. There isn't another striker

:54:05.:54:06.

really here who is adequate to fill his boots so it is a big worry for

:54:07.:54:12.

them. That is Vertonghen's header, Eriksen, Wanyama, super signing

:54:13.:54:15.

Wanyama has been. Son Heung-min, Dele Alli in the middle, Eriksen to

:54:16.:54:20.

his left hand side, Christian Eriksen here. Dele Alli... Was he

:54:21.:54:25.

being held? Martin Atkinson says not but many say he was. Wanyama got

:54:26.:54:31.

caught as well after he made the pass. He is down. Well, there is no

:54:32.:54:38.

question at all that Craig has a handful of Dele Alli's shirt. I

:54:39.:54:45.

don't know why he's trying to grab his shirt and get in front of him

:54:46.:54:50.

there. He got lucky. It's a penalty for me. Wanyama here has a problem,

:54:51.:55:00.

court after the ball had gone, lovely bit of play by Wanyama to

:55:01.:55:06.

start the move. I just think Craig might have got away with one here. I

:55:07.:55:13.

don't know how he's not seen it, the ref, he was in a good position.

:55:14.:55:21.

Great noise peeling around White Hart Lane.

:55:22.:55:29.

Here is Vertonghen. Craig backpedalling, Trippier in behind

:55:30.:55:39.

and again trippy's control lets him down. That's twice now. --

:55:40.:55:46.

Trippier's control. I know he has played a good few games but in and

:55:47.:55:50.

out of the team, you don't quite have your rhythm all the time but he

:55:51.:55:54.

will be disappointed with that. Getting himself in some good

:55:55.:55:58.

positions, though. His side have been awarded 11 penalties this

:55:59.:56:02.

season, Tottenham, and they may well have had a case for making it a

:56:03.:56:04.

dozen there. Cooper wants King to come, danger

:56:05.:56:18.

here. Lucky that Son Heung-min couldn't control the spinning ball

:56:19.:56:25.

instantly. Shaun Cummings is there. Vertonghen's head. Williams.

:56:26.:56:30.

Slightly uncertain, the young Millwall goalkeeper. I thought the

:56:31.:56:35.

defender should have dealt with that because he made the keeper come out

:56:36.:56:39.

of the box. You don't really want your keeper coming out of the box.

:56:40.:56:46.

He was playing in the National League last season, Tom King, had

:56:47.:56:54.

alone spell from Millwall to Braintree, and it's a big step up.

:56:55.:57:02.

Mind you, since he has come into the sides in the place of Jordan Archer

:57:03.:57:07.

he has kept that solid defensive run going, conceding just one in four.

:57:08.:57:16.

David Livermore alongside Neil Harris, Team Aitken the 2004 FA Cup

:57:17.:57:24.

final in the millennium Stadium, or the Principality Stadium, as it is

:57:25.:57:27.

now. David Livermore brought down Ryan Giggs for the penalty converted

:57:28.:57:32.

by Ruud van Nistelrooy for Manchester United's second. --

:57:33.:57:44.

team-mate in the 2004 FA Cup Scott Davies. Son, Eriksen to Vertonghen.

:57:45.:57:56.

Cooper. Smashed away for Gregory to chase and Eric Dier is not entirely

:57:57.:58:00.

comfortable. This is Gregory, and this is Morison, and that there's a

:58:01.:58:04.

couple of yards wide. That was a chance. He liked that, Neil Harris.

:58:05.:58:11.

It's the first time we have seen Gregory, really. You could argue it

:58:12.:58:15.

was a little nudge but he was brave. Morison doesn't set it out and get

:58:16.:58:22.

enough bend on it. Encouraging, though, for Millwall. A little bit

:58:23.:58:27.

of room for Winks before Williams comes out at, and now Wanyama who

:58:28.:58:33.

seems to have run off that little knock, Eriksen, Alli, Wanyama.

:58:34.:58:40.

Simon King men, Davies to his left waiting. That's clever. Good

:58:41.:58:48.

recovery, though, by Jed Wallace. It was. He's been given that job, I

:58:49.:58:57.

think, making sure that he tracks the runs. Wallace in the side ahead

:58:58.:59:01.

of Frank Onyedinma today. Onyedinma is a flying winger who, I would

:59:02.:59:09.

suggest, is less likely to be disciplined defensively than the

:59:10.:59:14.

more experienced player. Eriksen with the ball in, of Williams's

:59:15.:59:21.

head, and over the top from Jan Vertonghen on his right foot. Yes,

:59:22.:59:26.

certainly not as good as with his left, but he has a go anyway, and

:59:27.:59:32.

rightly so. He just got under it a little bit. Millwall have defended

:59:33.:59:36.

set plays quite well. They have not been caused too many problems with

:59:37.:59:39.

the Tottenham corners and free kicks in.

:59:40.:59:51.

I think he will be quite content at 28 minutes to be 0-0, Neil Harris.

:59:52.:00:00.

Cummings coming forward now. And a handball given against Aiden

:00:01.:00:01.

O'Brien. Half-hour mark approaching. Here is

:00:02.:00:27.

Davies. Clipped in. Dealt with by Cooper. That early barrage of shots

:00:28.:00:35.

which Tom King had to deal with and did deal with has rather dried up.

:00:36.:00:58.

Hits his shin pad in frustration. Yeah, sloppy. Really those first two

:00:59.:01:09.

chances, Kane and Son from tight angles that made us think there was

:01:10.:01:16.

going to be a build-up of pressure from Spurs, but it didn't come. They

:01:17.:01:21.

deserve credit, Millwall, for getting themselves in the game and

:01:22.:01:25.

looking reasonably comfortable. He doesn't look massively impressed at

:01:26.:01:30.

the moment, Pochettino. Byron Webster with the clearance. Wanyama

:01:31.:01:42.

holding off Thompson. Spurs have passed the ball crisply and

:01:43.:01:46.

precisely to midfield, then they will really test Millwall. Trippier

:01:47.:01:55.

in towards Eriksen. Eriksen! Great finish from Christian Eriksen. You'd

:01:56.:02:06.

struggle to call it half a chance, but boy did he take it. Spurs lead,

:02:07.:02:15.

Eriksen scores. Well, we were just saying, hadn't been a chance for a

:02:16.:02:20.

while. Good defending. Drops to him. What a strike that is. We know how

:02:21.:02:26.

good he is technically. Sometimes we think he should score more goals

:02:27.:02:29.

with his talent, but that's what he's capable of. Really, really good

:02:30.:02:37.

strike. Low into the ground, far corner. Good substitution. Ooh,

:02:38.:02:45.

wonderful goal. Wonderful finish from Christian Eriksen. Ninth goal

:02:46.:02:50.

of the season. Spurs in front. Super strike. Didn't seem to be much

:02:51.:02:56.

danger at all, but he hit it so well, so accurately.

:02:57.:03:02.

Now what riposte can Millwall find here with this free kick which Shaun

:03:03.:03:08.

Williams is going to take? O'Brien forward, Webster forward,

:03:09.:03:32.

Morison now. Jake Cooper, too. Williams to deliver. Flick on... Ooh

:03:33.:03:39.

it just flashed in front of Jake Cooper. It was flicked on by Aiden

:03:40.:03:43.

O'Brien. Cooper wasn't far away from getting something on that. Yeah, it

:03:44.:03:51.

wasn't a great ball in, but the first click on causes Spurs a

:03:52.:04:00.

problem. It was Jan Vertonghen standing in front of Cooper who had

:04:01.:04:04.

to be strong to hold off the centre-half.

:04:05.:04:17.

The very first FA Cup goal of scored at White Hart Lane was by Johnny

:04:18.:04:25.

McMahon for Preston North End in February 19 01. Could be that

:04:26.:04:27.

Christian Eriksen's is the last. There's the goal-scorer, Super Bowl,

:04:28.:04:48.

too. Yeah, she does score some great goals, doesn't he? -- super goal.

:04:49.:04:54.

When you've got that much ability and you are technically that could,

:04:55.:05:01.

in bigger games, contributing a bit more. Thompson with a clearing

:05:02.:05:08.

header, Trippier forward, Thompson again. And again. Now Wallace. Did

:05:09.:05:19.

well, Wallace. Being chased here by Wanyama, still going. He's had a

:05:20.:05:25.

little look up, played a decent ball in. Alderweireld dealt with it. Did

:05:26.:05:30.

really well, Jed Wallace. Williams to Thompson and back again. Clipped

:05:31.:05:36.

up towards Morison, got a head on it, couldn't find Gregory. Might

:05:37.:05:43.

have let that go through to Vorm but Spurs have dealt with it. Eriksen

:05:44.:05:48.

into Davies, Spurs countering. Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min both forward.

:05:49.:05:56.

Cooper back. Corner, Spurs. Good break from Spurs after Millwall

:05:57.:05:58.

having some joy getting crosses into the box, better from Millwall. But

:05:59.:06:04.

they are always going to be susceptible to that break from

:06:05.:06:15.

Spurs. Imperative they get to half-time without conceding again,

:06:16.:06:22.

really is. Christian Eriksen to take. Three are up from the back for

:06:23.:06:29.

Spurs, in it goes deep towards Wanyama. Off the woodwork and not

:06:30.:06:35.

turned away by O'Brien when it probably should have been. Here is

:06:36.:06:42.

Wallace. He has done well. Up towards Gregory, ploughing a bit of

:06:43.:06:46.

a lone furrow, and Trippier feeding Vorm. Might have been two. Yeah,

:06:47.:06:55.

lost him for a second. Good header from Wanyama, he's dangerous in the

:06:56.:07:03.

box. Spurs come again with Ben Davies. They are comfortable now.

:07:04.:07:14.

Pass the ball about, try and draw Millwall out a bit.

:07:15.:07:23.

Alderweireld for Spurs, Jan Vertonghen.

:07:24.:07:34.

Shaun Cummings did well. Son Heung-Min was a bit weak in the

:07:35.:07:40.

challenge. Gregory chasing this. Alderweireld.

:07:41.:07:50.

Made that look easy, the pair of them. Some stat Garth Crooks came

:07:51.:08:04.

out with about Alderweireld, as a partnership they've lost only 14 out

:08:05.:08:07.

of 120 odd games they've played together, club and country. They

:08:08.:08:12.

balance each other. I know Tottenham play a three now, but when they had

:08:13.:08:15.

the two together, they complement each other really well. Nice balance

:08:16.:08:19.

with the right foot and the left foot. Their biggest rent, they both

:08:20.:08:26.

can play. Here's the header. Yeah, good. Unlucky. Big, powerful header,

:08:27.:08:27.

that is. Could probably agree that of Spurs

:08:28.:08:45.

summer signings, Wanyama has been the most effective. Sissoko and

:08:46.:08:54.

Janssen still rather peripheral. Created a strong base in the middle

:08:55.:08:59.

of the park with Dembele. And then with Winks playing his games as

:09:00.:09:05.

well, looks fantastic young footballer. The centre of the pitch

:09:06.:09:13.

is a strong area for Spurs. He may yet come good, Vincent Janssen, but

:09:14.:09:17.

not if he doesn't get on the pitch, he won't. With Harry Kane going off

:09:18.:09:21.

he certainly would have been thinking he was entitled to come on

:09:22.:09:27.

but he didn't. No, must be thinking a little bit negatively at this

:09:28.:09:34.

moment. Here's Ben Davies. No foul, Jed Wallace taking it away from

:09:35.:09:35.

Davies. Wanyama. Steve Morison upfront for Millwall

:09:36.:09:57.

in the centre circle had a spell at Norwich City a few years back in the

:09:58.:10:02.

Premier League. Playing as a lone striker in a struggling team, scored

:10:03.:10:05.

nine goals that season in the Premier League which is no mean

:10:06.:10:10.

achievement. Here he is. Here is Eriksen.

:10:11.:10:25.

He was allowed to take that a very long way, Eriksen. Volleyed away by

:10:26.:10:36.

Byron Webster. There he is, Morison. 15 goals so far this season. His

:10:37.:10:41.

return from injury has come at a good time. Good pace, willing

:10:42.:10:51.

runner. He won't have wanted to have been doing this much defending of

:10:52.:10:55.

course. But playing against higher quality opposition, that's what you

:10:56.:11:00.

have to do. The key thing, the difference between the three Premier

:11:01.:11:03.

League scalps, apart from the difference in class between Spurs

:11:04.:11:07.

and Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester, with all due respect, is

:11:08.:11:10.

that Millwall were at home in those three. Webster with the clearance.

:11:11.:11:16.

In fact Millwall at home in every round of the FA Cup, all five of

:11:17.:11:18.

them that they've played up until now. That's come off Alderweireld to

:11:19.:11:24.

Morison. O'Brien getting forward here. Williams. Four up for

:11:25.:11:29.

Millwall. Towards O'Brien. Not offside. Dealt

:11:30.:11:46.

with by Dier, Spurs can break. Millwall had committed a few yellow

:11:47.:11:51.

shirts forward. Son Heung-Min. Dele Alli is furious with him for not

:11:52.:11:57.

controlling that. Son Heung-Min, ooh, makes amends with an absolute

:11:58.:12:03.

beauty! Well! Take Christian Eriksen's goal and raise you. That

:12:04.:12:10.

Sabrina and goal from Son Heung-Min. -- that's a brilliant goal from Son

:12:11.:12:15.

Heung-Min. Well, his first touch wasn't great, but his second was

:12:16.:12:22.

absolutely brilliant. Great break from Spurs. We criticised him

:12:23.:12:25.

earlier for not looking across to Dele Alli, but this time he has

:12:26.:12:30.

every right to have a shot. Look at that, on his supposedly weak foot.

:12:31.:12:36.

Really, really difficult technique, there, on your weak foot, to bend it

:12:37.:12:46.

with that pace. Keeper no chance. Still a great finish. Well, that's

:12:47.:12:58.

12 goals now, for a guy who doesn't play every week, that's a good

:12:59.:13:04.

return. Yeah. Welcome he gets on with it. Fit. He can play on the

:13:05.:13:09.

left, play on the right, played down the middle he gives it his all.

:13:10.:13:15.

Wouldn't say he's a natural in front of goal, far from it. But he's a

:13:16.:13:20.

good player and he's just proven it there with the technique. Gregory

:13:21.:13:25.

getting away from Dier. Alderweireld is covering.

:13:26.:13:33.

Just what Neil Harris and Millwall did not need, but you cannot argue

:13:34.:13:42.

with the quality of the finishing. Wallace. Eriksen in to Dele Alli,

:13:43.:13:50.

they've got to be careful, Millwall don't want to get caught on the

:13:51.:13:54.

break again. Dele Alli crowded out of it. Ben Davies was in all kinds

:13:55.:13:58.

of space to his left-hand side. Meantime, that's Wanyama in a heap

:13:59.:14:07.

on the floor, again. Hmm. Don't know if he's been whacked on the same one

:14:08.:14:19.

he got whacked one before. Yeah. Don't think it's too bad. Yellow is

:14:20.:14:23.

maybe about right. Followed through a little bit. So, yellow card for

:14:24.:14:36.

the man who is on loan from Wolves to Millwall. They've not actually

:14:37.:14:44.

kept the ball well enough, Millwall. Sometimes you've just got to hold

:14:45.:14:48.

your hands up, haven't you? I mean, that is such a good goal. He has got

:14:49.:14:55.

a fantastic left foot actually, considering he is right footed. Been

:14:56.:15:01.

practising the handshake that Harry Kane has been doing. That would take

:15:02.:15:08.

me a few weeks to get that. I wouldn't try, of course. That's two

:15:09.:15:09.

days of training, that. Wanyama is currently off the pitch

:15:10.:15:25.

getting treatment. But he's a strong boy. Millwall throw.

:15:26.:15:49.

Helped on by Thompson but Winks takes up such good positions, Harry

:15:50.:15:54.

Winks, he always seems to have pockets of space around him. Wanyama

:15:55.:15:59.

is back on for Spurs. Davies. Dele Alli.

:16:00.:16:08.

Eriksen back to Harry Winks. Dele Alli thinking about it. We have seen

:16:09.:16:11.

two pretty spectacular finishes, that wasn't a third. No, not one of

:16:12.:16:24.

his better efforts. I love the fact he has the confidence to try it,

:16:25.:16:28.

though. There are a few medals there, Ray Clemence, Clive Alan,

:16:29.:16:34.

Mark Fallon, Ossie Ardiles sitting behind, Paul Allen. I saw Ray

:16:35.:16:40.

Clemence on Friday, actually, at a dinner, he was in good form. Worked

:16:41.:16:47.

with him in the England squad, good guy, gentlemen, for work Liverpool

:16:48.:16:58.

goalkeeper. It was a move which was a stunning move at the time from

:16:59.:17:01.

Liverpool to Tottenham for Ray Clemence.

:17:02.:17:10.

A real gentleman, good to see him here, Ray Clemence, looking well.

:17:11.:17:42.

Alderweireld for Spurs. That will be a Spurs hoping and looking now as if

:17:43.:17:52.

they will be heading to their 20th FA Cup semifinal in their history.

:17:53.:17:57.

It's a tournament which Spurs are sort of associated with. They have

:17:58.:18:04.

an won it since 1991. That's a long time. It is and I was talking to a

:18:05.:18:10.

couple of supporters earlier about the fact that although they are

:18:11.:18:12.

progressing and things are going really well here, lots of positives,

:18:13.:18:18.

silverware is what it's all about, you know? This is a great

:18:19.:18:24.

opportunity for them, two games away. From lifting a trophy, if they

:18:25.:18:31.

can see this one out. Here is Jan Vertonghen. Eriksen Trippier. King

:18:32.:18:46.

has dealt with that. Martin Atkinson's whistle goes and Millwall

:18:47.:18:55.

are two down at White Hart Lane against Tottenham Hotspur. Christian

:18:56.:18:57.

Eriksen on in place of the injured Harry Kane very early in the game

:18:58.:19:03.

with a super finish topped by Son Heung-min's which flew in off his

:19:04.:19:09.

left foot. Two great goals and Spurs halfway to the last four. Half-time

:19:10.:19:13.

at White Hart Lane. And Hotspur 2-0 Millwall.

:19:14.:19:19.

Tottenham certainly emphasising their high class in this game so

:19:20.:19:23.

far, Millwall resolute for a while but in the end two terrific goals.

:19:24.:19:29.

Total dominance from Tottenham, as you said they dominated possession,

:19:30.:19:33.

they have been in so many good positions, stretching the wingbacks,

:19:34.:19:37.

Trippier and Davies, high up and stretching the back four and

:19:38.:19:40.

Millwall can't cope with it. They have been in great positions but

:19:41.:19:44.

other than the two pieces of magic for the goals they have been so

:19:45.:19:47.

wistful when they got into those areas, should be four or five with

:19:48.:19:54.

better balls and finishing. We saw Millwall were very organised that

:19:55.:19:57.

you felt it was just a matter of time. Yes, Tottenham got so much

:19:58.:20:02.

possession, Millwall were having a 4-4- to effect but with Davies

:20:03.:20:07.

pushing so far on he is bringing Jed Wallace back into a second right

:20:08.:20:10.

back position really, so when Millwall get the ball they can't get

:20:11.:20:14.

out because he's too far behind because there is nobody to pass two,

:20:15.:20:17.

doing an honest job but Tottenham are wearing them down with their

:20:18.:20:23.

superior ball keeping skills. Two leagues above and it shows. This is

:20:24.:20:27.

the point as a manager were you think maybe I should have played

:20:28.:20:31.

three in midfield because the gulf in class, Millwall are finding it

:20:32.:20:35.

impossible not only to get out of their own half but sustain any

:20:36.:20:39.

possession. Marcus Ericsson got the first goal out of nothing, wasn't

:20:40.:20:44.

it? The two defenders both went for the same ball which enabled Eriksen

:20:45.:20:48.

to have the space at the edge of the box when the ball falls, they are

:20:49.:20:52.

both there and no one picks up Eriksen and before they know it it

:20:53.:20:55.

is in the back of the net, wonderful finish. He has such a and awareness

:20:56.:21:00.

of the space around him and he knows he must hit it first time but he

:21:01.:21:03.

doesn't panic, he knows he can get good contact and to swivel and kick

:21:04.:21:08.

it like that is a hard skill. He had to wait for it to come down but he

:21:09.:21:11.

knows the two lads have challenged for the same ball so they are

:21:12.:21:15.

unaware of where he is and as the ball comes off Dele Alli's chesty

:21:16.:21:18.

waits for it to drop at the precise moment and hit it into the ground

:21:19.:21:21.

and zip it off the surface. Which goal would win the goal of the half

:21:22.:21:27.

competition? I like the technical element of Eriksen's. I would agree.

:21:28.:21:36.

This one from Son was sensational. I was screaming at his touch at this

:21:37.:21:41.

point but he answered perfectly with that unbelievable strike. I watched

:21:42.:21:44.

him a lot at Bayer Leverkusen do this on his left foot, cutting

:21:45.:21:52.

inside. Dele Alli unhappy, he's on a good goal-scoring run. But he

:21:53.:21:55.

answered him. How many times have you done that in your career when

:21:56.:21:58.

somebody has had a shot from too far out and you go, well done, good

:21:59.:22:02.

goal. The keeper has absolutely no chance. It does help if it goes on,

:22:03.:22:07.

if you hit the ball with your right or left foot, it makes the defender

:22:08.:22:12.

think, you could only kick it with your right foot, you would never

:22:13.:22:15.

bend it in with your left. We couldn't do that either! Running

:22:16.:22:21.

away with one arm in the air, come on, guys! Whatever happened to

:22:22.:22:25.

keeping it simple in the celebration? Do what ever you want,

:22:26.:22:29.

it is fine. That was the good news for Tottenham, the bad news, of

:22:30.:22:32.

course, is the injury to Harry Kane. It looks like he sustained a similar

:22:33.:22:36.

sort of injury as the one at the start of the season that kept him

:22:37.:22:40.

out for seven weeks. Such an awkward fall. We were debating whether he

:22:41.:22:44.

should have passed it. The defender goes on top and straightaway it is a

:22:45.:22:51.

very nasty thing to see. It was as he planted it, that's the problem

:22:52.:22:55.

and he takes the full weight of his defender onto his ankle. The fact he

:22:56.:23:03.

is walking, but limping but not on a stretcher. The fact he was out for

:23:04.:23:06.

seven weeks at the start of the season with the same injury shows it

:23:07.:23:10.

has not mended properly and that will be another couple of months. We

:23:11.:23:14.

think Tottenham should have had a penalty? They should have had one. I

:23:15.:23:18.

don't know how the referee doesn't see this, he was clearly having his

:23:19.:23:24.

shirt pulled there. The ref isn't far away at all. He actually pulls

:23:25.:23:30.

him down, doesn't he? He pulls him all the way, when he has hold of him

:23:31.:23:34.

he doesn't let go for a while and it is very blatant and I don't know how

:23:35.:23:37.

the ref has not seen it and the linesman has not seen it. Possibly

:23:38.:23:42.

an underdog decision. He might have thought I have given you one here.

:23:43.:23:47.

But it was a penalty. Only one opportunity, and not a great one, in

:23:48.:23:52.

the first half, Morison on the counterattack. We said they would do

:23:53.:23:56.

this, rigid two banks of four but when they get out they are trying

:23:57.:24:00.

with the two Centre forwards, hopeful ball, Gregory does well

:24:01.:24:03.

nudging him at the right time and gets his body in and they get a

:24:04.:24:07.

little bit of luck. Might need Alan Shearer to put his foot through it

:24:08.:24:10.

there rather than putting it in the top corner. It sat perfect for him,

:24:11.:24:17.

didn't it? You can see the angle it was a couple of yards wide, but it

:24:18.:24:21.

was worth an effort. That's the only time they've had any sort of sniff,

:24:22.:24:26.

the long ball up, and the two forwards getting close together we

:24:27.:24:28.

said they would do that but other than that they have hardly had the

:24:29.:24:32.

ball. Bringing it back to the Harry Kane injury and what I could mean

:24:33.:24:35.

for Spurs for the rest of the season if he is out for some time, it's

:24:36.:24:38.

quite an unusual situation where they have Vincent Janssen on the

:24:39.:24:41.

bench who is a striker and he hasn't even brought him on to make do. It

:24:42.:24:45.

shows how weak they are in that position apart from Harry Kane. We

:24:46.:24:49.

all felt for Vincent Janssen as Harry Kane was going off, you are

:24:50.:24:53.

the centre forward on the bench thinking you are coming on and he

:24:54.:24:58.

has put Son on. Son gives them something and stretches than the

:24:59.:25:01.

other way, he goes in behind and stretches defences. I think that is

:25:02.:25:05.

probably what he looked at, Vincent Janssen is more about holding the

:25:06.:25:08.

ball up and they didn't need that today, they already have good

:25:09.:25:11.

possession so he's gone for the legs and getting in behind to stretch

:25:12.:25:15.

them. Whistle the stats with Harry Kane before the game about how many

:25:16.:25:19.

goals he brings to the top and side, so to lose him for any period of

:25:20.:25:22.

time would be a disaster for them. Especially at this stage of the

:25:23.:25:26.

season. The Loston Footie months at the start of the season and look

:25:27.:25:29.

like they could lose him for a couple of months at the end of the

:25:30.:25:33.

season. It was a poor purchase not having a strong replacement and

:25:34.:25:36.

could cost Spurs, I don't know how, whether it is a top position or a

:25:37.:25:39.

trophy, you don't know how but that's the decision that could come

:25:40.:25:43.

back to haunt them. It is worrying. We Haatheq rocking quarterfinal

:25:44.:25:47.

tomorrow night on BBC One with Chelsea against Manchester United

:25:48.:25:49.

live from Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have won the cup six times in the

:25:50.:25:53.

last 20 years but their first success came in 1970 when they beat

:25:54.:25:58.

Leeds in a replay. It was one of the most physical FA Cup games ever

:25:59.:26:03.

played and that's putting it mildly and wrong Chopper Harris loved it. I

:26:04.:26:09.

think it was a dream that anybody, any footballer wanted to do. It was

:26:10.:26:16.

one of the proudest moments in all my years at Chelsea Football Club.

:26:17.:26:22.

I'm proud of the fact I was the first Chelsea captain to ever lift

:26:23.:26:32.

the FA Cup. COMMENTATOR: This year, a Cockney cup final, Chelsea versus

:26:33.:26:36.

Tottenham Hotspur, two London teams. My memory on the Saturday was

:26:37.:26:40.

fantastic, driving up Wembley Way which was thousands and thousands of

:26:41.:26:46.

people, a fantastic day, leading the side out at Wembley was an ambition

:26:47.:26:50.

of mine and at the time I was the youngest player ever to captain the

:26:51.:26:57.

side in a cup final, 19. Robertson! Goal right on half-time! Robertson!

:26:58.:27:11.

What's a good goal! We got beat 2-1. I think we froze on

:27:12.:27:16.

the day, they played ever so well, we were a little disappointed

:27:17.:27:20.

because we never really performed at all. A few years later we had a cup

:27:21.:27:30.

run again and played Leeds in the final at Wembley. They were a

:27:31.:27:37.

tremendous side, Leeds, very physical, and they had Jonny Giles

:27:38.:27:45.

and Eddie Gray but we had players who could match them for enthusiasm,

:27:46.:27:47.

Peter Osgood. It's a goal. ! Goal! Jones has done it. Goal!

:27:48.:28:13.

I think we were a little bit fortunate, we got out of jail, and

:28:14.:28:18.

about three weeks later we played in the replay at Old Trafford. We made

:28:19.:28:24.

a tactical switch because I played right back at the time, to pick up

:28:25.:28:29.

Eddie Gray, by orders was to follow him around and ruffle him up and I

:28:30.:28:37.

think I did that. People used to say that all I used to do was kick

:28:38.:28:42.

people but I played 795 games for Chelsea and captained them for many

:28:43.:28:45.

years and I'd like to think I was a bit better than just going around

:28:46.:28:50.

kicking people. You had two good sides that were fully committed and

:28:51.:28:55.

people would say it was a very physical game.

:28:56.:29:12.

My dad used to always say to me you get nothing for being second best.

:29:13.:29:20.

All of the years I played football was an achievement I always wanted

:29:21.:29:25.

to do when I was a young lad. 47 years later Chelsea are two games

:29:26.:29:39.

away from the cup final against a live from Stamford Bridge from

:29:40.:29:44.

7:30pm tomorrow evening from the -- for the semifinals follows that.

:29:45.:29:48.

Before that Match of the Day 2 tonight will have highlights of

:29:49.:29:51.

Liverpool versus Burnley in the Premier League. Rugby special is

:29:52.:29:54.

back this evening with all of the highlights from the Six Nations

:29:55.:30:01.

matches this weekend. 600 horsepower, ?200,000 car, what

:30:02.:30:04.

could possibly go wrong? This is a rally stage will stop that is

:30:05.:30:14.

immature. It sounds like I just kicked your as. Top Gear, the new

:30:15.:30:20.

series continues tonight on BBC Two. Will afford to that but we will look

:30:21.:30:24.

back at a couple of the tackles in the Chelsea- Leeds cup final. It was

:30:25.:30:28.

extraordinary, they got a referee at one point to look at the game and

:30:29.:30:33.

said there would have been 21 bookings and three sendings off. Did

:30:34.:30:37.

he say it was called roughing him up? He probably didn't even get

:30:38.:30:42.

booked for that. Casual stud in your cheek. Get in there, again, Peter

:30:43.:30:51.

Osgood. That is when men were men. That was Man United against

:30:52.:30:54.

Bournemouth, wasn't it? LAUGHTER

:30:55.:30:57.

Things have changed a bit, they certainly have. Back to pitch side

:30:58.:30:59.

to see what Michael Dawson and Paul Robinson made of the first half.

:31:00.:31:04.

These two were wincing at a couple of those. Michael, the happier of

:31:05.:31:11.

the former captains. Spurs came in as favourites. How impressed have

:31:12.:31:15.

you been by their professionalism and their approach? Very impressed,

:31:16.:31:19.

the way they have dominated the game. Being professional, that's

:31:20.:31:22.

what it's about when you are playing teams from the lower leagues.

:31:23.:31:27.

They've been in some good positions, should be maybe more than two up.

:31:28.:31:31.

They'll be delighted the way it is going. The only downside, losing

:31:32.:31:35.

Harry Kane to injury which could be a big loss. It could indeed. Paul,

:31:36.:31:40.

it was always going to be tough for Millwall, how do you feel they have

:31:41.:31:43.

done in this game? Defensively looked strong up until the first

:31:44.:31:48.

goal of the first real mix-up in defence. They knew they would spend

:31:49.:31:51.

long periods without the ball, they knew they would have to work

:31:52.:31:56.

defensively. For a good 25 minutes they did that. Two bid strikes from

:31:57.:32:01.

Tottenham. Especially the second one. 2-0 up at half-time looks a

:32:02.:32:05.

commanding position but they had nothing to lose beforehand and even

:32:06.:32:09.

more so now, I'm sure they'll have a good go in the second half. What

:32:10.:32:13.

will Neil Harris do in the second half? Players like Onyedinma on the

:32:14.:32:20.

bench, very good upfront, perhaps not so good defensively, will they

:32:21.:32:23.

go for it and perhaps risk a real drubbing? They've got nothing to

:32:24.:32:28.

lose on the day, it might as well be 4-0. Defensively they'll still have

:32:29.:32:32.

to work really hard, keep defending their box well like they have done.

:32:33.:32:36.

The keeper will need to make some good saves. I'm sure he will let the

:32:37.:32:39.

shackles of a tiny bit more, take more attacking risks. I'm sure you

:32:40.:32:45.

will see the pace and power of Fred, soon, and maybe Ferguson. What about

:32:46.:32:52.

the Spurs players? 2-0 up, looking comfortable, is it difficult to

:32:53.:32:55.

mentally come out and prepare for a second half when you know you cannot

:32:56.:32:59.

let anything slip? With Wembley and a semifinal at the end of this?

:33:00.:33:04.

Pochettino will be drilling them to come out and start right, the way

:33:05.:33:08.

they did in the first half, and keep going, to build on 2-0, get the

:33:09.:33:12.

third goal and the game will be finished. The two centre halves for

:33:13.:33:18.

Spurs have got to be strong, Dier, Alderweireld and Vertonghen. Spurs

:33:19.:33:24.

will want to go on and get the third and fourth, game over. I just got

:33:25.:33:28.

hit by the match ball, everybody wants to touch the match ball, don't

:33:29.:33:31.

they? Hope you can enjoy the second half.

:33:32.:33:36.

Will it be Tottenham, will it be Millwall? Think he's hurt himself. A

:33:37.:33:44.

sad sight for Tottenham fans. Dele Alli, was he being held? Martin

:33:45.:33:51.

Atkinson says not. Eriksen! Great finish from Christian Eriksen. Son

:33:52.:33:54.

Heung-Min! That's a brilliant goal from Son Heung-Min! STUDIO: Yes, two

:33:55.:34:01.

wonderful goals have given Tottenham a comfortable half-time lead. It

:34:02.:34:06.

would take something rather spectacular for Millwall to come

:34:07.:34:10.

back from this, Alan? What Millwall have got to do, they've got to

:34:11.:34:14.

gamble now. Got to try to get a bit closer to the 2-macro/ because it

:34:15.:34:19.

was really nonexistence in the first half.

:34:20.:34:26.

To do that you have got to have the ball and they have not had much of

:34:27.:34:31.

it. Next ten minutes have got to be important. Millwall need to have a

:34:32.:34:36.

little gamble, get people forward, women their knock-downs in the half

:34:37.:34:43.

-- and win their knock-downs. Got to get the ball first, then try and do

:34:44.:34:48.

something with it. They could just not come out... Seems like an option

:34:49.:34:55.

as it stands. They were two exceptional strikes, really. There

:34:56.:35:01.

will be 11 thinking, let's not get embarrassed today, let's put in a

:35:02.:35:04.

similar defensive display and we can walk out, if we get beaten, with

:35:05.:35:08.

some pride and they have definitely shown they are capable of that. The

:35:09.:35:12.

Millwall players are now venturing out on to midfield. We can rejoin

:35:13.:35:17.

the commentators, Danny Murphy and Steve Wilson. COMMENTATOR: Millwall

:35:18.:35:24.

have made a change, Ben Thompson has come off, and this is Calum Butcher

:35:25.:35:31.

in midfield, former Spurs trainee, was on the bench for a Uefa cup game

:35:32.:35:37.

in 2009. That was as close as he ever came to pulling on the lily

:35:38.:35:46.

white jersey. Get the chance to play against them here in the second half

:35:47.:35:51.

of this cup quarterfinal with Spurs leading by two excellent goals.

:35:52.:35:58.

Eriksen and Son. But Spurs without Harry Kane, injured early on. It's a

:35:59.:36:03.

big ask for Millwall, the League 1 side, to get back into this cup tie.

:36:04.:36:09.

But one goal can change a lot. Eric Dier. Cushioned by Davies, to Dele

:36:10.:36:22.

Alli. Harry Winks, here. Williams getting in smartly for Millwall.

:36:23.:36:31.

Unable to find Morison. Gregory certainly put in a shift for

:36:32.:36:34.

Millwall, hasn't he? But no real reward as yet, anyway. Worked

:36:35.:36:45.

tremendously hard. Here is Eric Dier, forward to Dele Alli, on the

:36:46.:36:50.

turn, can he find a way to get the shopping? He can't, but Tom King

:36:51.:36:51.

ends up with the ball in his hands. My microphone is playing up a bit,

:36:52.:37:05.

sorry about that. Great run from Dele Alli, wasn't it? So good at

:37:06.:37:10.

that. And they are so good at finding him. Yeah, they are.

:37:11.:37:21.

Here's Davies for Spurs. That's a good run by Ben Davies, he's going

:37:22.:37:30.

all the way! Well, a scuffed shot in the end. Those yellow shirts

:37:31.:37:35.

retreating just about did enough to bring this run to an end, but what a

:37:36.:37:41.

super run it was. He just kept going, didn't he? Unfortunately

:37:42.:37:43.

found itself on his right foot which is not his strongest. Can't get a

:37:44.:37:49.

decent connection on it. It suits him playing more as a wingback,

:37:50.:37:55.

doesn't it? Can get forward and use his skills higher up the pitch.

:37:56.:38:04.

Here's Gregory. Vertonghen once Vorm to come, and he did. We saw his only

:38:05.:38:12.

goal so far the Spurs, Ben Davies. That was second against Aston Villa

:38:13.:38:19.

in round three. Cute little header. Well, he's been unfortunate. Because

:38:20.:38:25.

the form of Danny Rose over the last year, 18 months, has been

:38:26.:38:29.

exceptional, hasn't it? I'm kind of surprised he's signed a contract to

:38:30.:38:30.

be honest with you. Here's Williams. Trippier to the right, Eriksen, good

:38:31.:38:47.

hit, good save by King. Dele Alli is onto it, Eriksen wants it back. Here

:38:48.:38:56.

is Wanyama. Header didn't really do the job but Wanyama couldn't find a

:38:57.:38:58.

way to get a shot away. Ghosts in and out of games

:38:59.:39:14.

sometimes, Christian Eriksen. At when on song he is such a good

:39:15.:39:22.

player. Also a good striker of the ball, isn't he? Technique's really

:39:23.:39:28.

good. He gets such pace on those shots. Nice, positive run. Looking

:39:29.:39:39.

at his options. Son, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen just got

:39:40.:39:42.

underneath that one with O'Brien making it difficult for him, closing

:39:43.:39:46.

him down. Actually saw, I think it was last week, a stacked with

:39:47.:39:52.

Eriksen saying he's covered more distanced than anybody in the

:39:53.:39:54.

Premier League and I thought that was quite interesting. Because you

:39:55.:39:59.

look at him and think, creative, skilful, somebody who can win a

:40:00.:40:03.

game. You wouldn't put him in probably with the guys who do the

:40:04.:40:07.

most running but it just shows you, he certainly does put a shift in for

:40:08.:40:11.

his team as well. That's long from Byron Webster. Hoping to find

:40:12.:40:16.

Wallace, who has kept the ball in play and found Gregory. And Gregory

:40:17.:40:21.

has support. Williams wastes the chance. Well worked. Yeah, it's a

:40:22.:40:31.

good cross. Brings it down really nicely. Fires it back a bit too

:40:32.:40:38.

hard. Hard to run onto a ball coming at you that quickly and keep it

:40:39.:40:39.

down. Here is Wanyama. Do you prefer Eric Dier in a three

:40:40.:40:59.

or as a defensive midfielder, Danny? He's better as a defensive

:41:00.:41:04.

midfielder. He was absolutely sensational last season. But I think

:41:05.:41:10.

if Spurs are going to play that way, it's OK to have him there because

:41:11.:41:15.

he's got such good cover around him. Either or, really. But I think his

:41:16.:41:19.

best form was when he played in a deep midfield role last year. But

:41:20.:41:25.

now Wanyama has come, he's obviously got good competition in there. So

:41:26.:41:28.

he's found himself at the back. Here is Wanyama. Christian Eriksen. Jan

:41:29.:41:32.

Vertonghen. Winks, using his body well. Dele

:41:33.:41:44.

Alli, lovely little flick, didn't quite come off, Shaun Cummings is

:41:45.:41:48.

there. Snapped away rather hurriedly by Jake Cooper, don't think he

:41:49.:41:52.

wanted the past much. Winks to Trippier. Taking on Craig. Behind by

:41:53.:41:56.

Cooper, Tottenham corner. It's been a great cup run for

:41:57.:42:14.

Millwall. Ooh, sensational. They've done themselves proud. Deserve this

:42:15.:42:21.

tie. When you consider at one point they were 1-0 down to Braintree, it

:42:22.:42:27.

has gone extremely well. But very tough to come back from here, you

:42:28.:42:31.

would say, against the Spurs side playing with such confidence,

:42:32.:42:34.

unbeaten at White Hart Lane since last May. Their only defeat in home

:42:35.:42:40.

games, in inverted commas, are the games they played at Wembley in

:42:41.:42:48.

Europe. Semifinal will be under the arch at Wembley, where they have won

:42:49.:42:51.

one of their last nine games and that was the dead rubber in the

:42:52.:42:55.

Champions League this year against CSKA. Somewhat of a worry, that, I

:42:56.:43:01.

would suggest. Especially as they will be playing all their games then

:43:02.:43:05.

next season in all likelihood. I gather the contract with the

:43:06.:43:10.

National Stadium is as yet unsigned. Maybe they are having second

:43:11.:43:12.

thoughts because of the form there, who knows? Certainly need to get

:43:13.:43:21.

used to the place. Beaten in the air by Alderweireld. Spurs have also

:43:22.:43:26.

lost their last six FA Cup semifinals. Here is Cummings. Is

:43:27.:43:37.

there any good stats? For the poor Spurs fans who aren't here today,

:43:38.:43:43.

listening. They are going to be a bit worried now. All things, good

:43:44.:43:47.

and bad, must come to an end, I suppose. Here is Trippier. Son, good

:43:48.:44:05.

run, well found, 3-0! Well, his cup runneth over. Millwall add cup run

:44:06.:44:12.

is over. Son Heung-Min with another delightful goal. Brilliant ball from

:44:13.:44:17.

Trippier. Well, the quality of their goals today has been exceptional.

:44:18.:44:21.

Brilliant pass again. We've seen this from various players. Look at

:44:22.:44:27.

the movement. I mean, to pick him out there, take it on the Wally. --

:44:28.:44:37.

on the volley. That's what Trippier gives you from those full-back

:44:38.:44:42.

areas. Son's finishing is on point today. That's a really difficult

:44:43.:44:46.

thing to do, volley it as it is coming out of the air. Three

:44:47.:44:54.

high-quality goals from Tottenham Hotspur today. Hmm. I think probably

:44:55.:45:11.

that one being the best, for me. Here goes Vertonghen. Davies.

:45:12.:45:19.

Cummings in the way for Millwall. O'Brien.

:45:20.:45:31.

Yes, his movement is really good, Son, when he plays high up there he

:45:32.:45:43.

doesn't half keep the defenders on their toes. Down the left, down the

:45:44.:45:48.

right, getting in behind, his comfortable down both flanks. Michel

:45:49.:45:59.

Vorm to Trippier. Great noise at White Hart Lane. Wanyama. Cut out by

:46:00.:46:12.

Cummings stretching also lofted high in hope, Wanyama arrogantly controls

:46:13.:46:17.

it on his laces. Winks over the top looking for that man, Son. Webster's

:46:18.:46:24.

header goes straight to the South Korean. Eriksen in the box,

:46:25.:46:29.

overlapping is Davies, tipped out by King, Dele Alli, Eriksen, was Dele

:46:30.:46:34.

Alli felled? Martin Atkinson again says no. Craig clears his lines,

:46:35.:46:39.

Millwall in danger of being swamped. They are. Spurs are playing with

:46:40.:46:45.

such confidence now, everyone wanting the ball. O'Brien wants that

:46:46.:46:51.

to go out of play and it hasn't. Davies kept it in.

:46:52.:46:54.

Eriksen Wanyama to Winks. Spurs in full flow just now.

:46:55.:47:10.

Trippier nutmegging Drake, foul by the Millwall captain and the card is

:47:11.:47:17.

coming out for Tony Craig. -- nutmegging Craig. Rightly so. The

:47:18.:47:21.

fact it is 3-0 doesn't really matter, that is a penalty. Could

:47:22.:47:29.

easily be a penalty. Millwall are going to make a change. The young

:47:30.:47:38.

winger is going to come on, Onyedinma, but maybe not before this

:47:39.:47:39.

free kick. Winks pulling it square. Dele Alli

:47:40.:47:57.

dragged across it. Yes, a bit different, though a nice and

:47:58.:48:06.

inventive from Winks and Dele Alli. Got the touch perfect, just cut

:48:07.:48:12.

across it. Here is Onyedinma coming on. Steve Morison, who has run, and

:48:13.:48:21.

run hard, makes way. 20 years old, from Plumstead, comes on. Six goals

:48:22.:48:26.

this season, he is a wide player, normally plays on the right, can

:48:27.:48:28.

play up front. It is towards Onyedinma. He has kept

:48:29.:48:49.

the ball in play. Cummings is in support for Onyedinma. It is

:48:50.:49:01.

deflected, and Onyedinma takes it up and over the crossbar, Wallace. That

:49:02.:49:09.

is a chance. Their best. Onyedinma does brilliantly there. He's just

:49:10.:49:13.

come on the pitch, he's positive, he made a great run, well found, and

:49:14.:49:17.

then confident enough to get the ball and go past people. Wallace

:49:18.:49:21.

will be disappointed. Yeah. Here is Harry Winks for Tottenham.

:49:22.:49:55.

Trippier. Son in behind again. Blocked by Jake Cooper.

:49:56.:50:12.

There is more goals in this and he's hoping he might get one of them.

:50:13.:50:22.

Spurs have not yet assessed that injury to Harry Kane's right ankle.

:50:23.:50:55.

The prognosis will become clearer tomorrow. The most positive thing is

:50:56.:51:01.

he was walking by himself. But it could still be quite a while out the

:51:02.:51:10.

way he went over on it. Davies trained to play it square, cut out

:51:11.:51:15.

by Williams, almost managed to squeeze it through to Wallace,

:51:16.:51:16.

Vertonghen cut it out. Trippier back to Son Heung-min. It

:51:17.:51:44.

will be a goal kick. If Kane is out for a few weeks then Son, Eriksen

:51:45.:51:48.

and Alli, all goal-scorers, will be the men Pochettino turns to. They

:51:49.:51:52.

will have to step up, that's for sure. They are more than capable,

:51:53.:51:59.

they have ability, they have not got the consistency Kane has in scoring.

:52:00.:52:04.

Gregory Pauling Eric Dier's shirt but Spurs carry on by Martin

:52:05.:52:07.

Atkinson playing advantage. Ben Davies trying to find Eric Dier who

:52:08.:52:09.

continued that run forward. I mean, he must be maybe thinking

:52:10.:52:24.

Vincent Janssen in a game like this to get him a couple of chances. His

:52:25.:52:29.

former club Southampton are the next opponents after this game for

:52:30.:52:32.

Tottenham Hotspur, they come to White Hart Lane. It is Burnley,

:52:33.:52:39.

Swansea and Watford next in line for Tottenham in the Premier League.

:52:40.:52:46.

They will continue to try to close the gap on Chelsea but it's looking

:52:47.:52:50.

a tall order at the moment in the Premier League. They are as always

:52:51.:52:56.

keeping one eye on Arsenal, hoping to finish above their neighbours for

:52:57.:53:02.

the first time since 1995. The FA Cup sixth round, the final place in

:53:03.:53:09.

the last four up for grabs tomorrow, 7:30pm, BBC One. Here is some human,

:53:10.:53:16.

off target this time, certainly after a hat-trick. -- Son Heung-min.

:53:17.:53:21.

Chelsea against Manchester United tomorrow at 7:30pm and the semifinal

:53:22.:53:27.

draw will follow that. Manchester City definitely there, Arsenal

:53:28.:53:31.

definitely there, Spurs almost definitely there. And then either

:53:32.:53:35.

Chelsea or Manchester United, it may well be, Danny Murphy, that the

:53:36.:53:40.

2016-17 FA Cup is remembered as a year of shocks but no shot in the

:53:41.:53:44.

last four unless Millwall termers around and that doesn't look like

:53:45.:53:49.

happening. It doesn't but what it does do is give us some semifinals

:53:50.:53:52.

to look forward to. Any combination of those teams is mouthwatering at

:53:53.:54:00.

Wembley -- Millwall turn this around. You could not split them in

:54:01.:54:04.

terms of odds, could you? If Chelsea were to beat Manchester United you

:54:05.:54:08.

think the way they are playing they would edge it but you could debate

:54:09.:54:13.

it, you are right, it could go either way. Here is Davies. Wanyama

:54:14.:54:20.

might hit it. Did. And it hit Cooper, that will be a corner.

:54:21.:54:40.

Cummings got himself in the way of Dele Alli who I think was attempting

:54:41.:54:56.

to swing a volley in the direction of the Millwall goal. Millwall very

:54:57.:55:03.

much in the hunt for play-offs at the end of this season in League 1,

:55:04.:55:10.

maybe more the form they have been in in league football. Eriksen. That

:55:11.:55:16.

was a good block by Craig, Neil Harris the League 1 manager for the

:55:17.:55:20.

month of February, and received that award this week.

:55:21.:55:26.

He will know they've had a fantastic run in the cup. They were never

:55:27.:55:35.

going to win it. The priority for them, especially after last year's

:55:36.:55:48.

disappointment. Trippier and Son. Cooper watched the ball and watched

:55:49.:55:57.

it well. It was another good run from Son, so willing to get in those

:55:58.:56:00.

channels. We talked in the studio earlier about why he plays him

:56:01.:56:08.

instead of Vincent Janssen, the mobility he has got. Davies...

:56:09.:56:15.

Volleyed clearance. Christian Eriksen.

:56:16.:56:26.

Eric Dier now. Heavy touch. They are just enjoying it, aren't they?

:56:27.:56:45.

Passing the ball around. The centre halves getting forward now, enjoying

:56:46.:56:51.

their football. They don't get many games like that in a season where

:56:52.:57:00.

they are comfortable at 66 minutes. The fear for Spurs is that the cream

:57:01.:57:12.

of the crop in their playing staff, and coaching staff, are being

:57:13.:57:16.

coveted by others. Onyedinma. Wallace. Alderweireld

:57:17.:57:24.

covering. The interview from Alderweireld was interesting before

:57:25.:57:27.

the game. He was very noncommittal about his future and contract and

:57:28.:57:32.

stuff, which surprised me. It wouldn't surprise me that some of

:57:33.:57:35.

the best teams in the world are trying to sign him. Tottenham over

:57:36.:57:42.

the years have been a selling club and they've got to change that now.

:57:43.:57:45.

Here is Eriksen. Alli. Wanyama. Trippier. Almost midway

:57:46.:58:00.

through the second half of the game. Three really, really special

:58:01.:58:01.

Tottenham goals. I think in a way that will please

:58:02.:58:13.

Neil Harris. They haven't conceded anything sloppy, they haven't

:58:14.:58:17.

conceded anything silly. They've just been really, really top-class

:58:18.:58:23.

goals. Yeah, and I think that does give you some comfort but it shows

:58:24.:58:27.

that when the better teams in the Premier League to play their more or

:58:28.:58:32.

less best 11, although there are a couple missing today, Dembele and

:58:33.:58:38.

Eriksen coming off the bench. But very hard over a period of 90

:58:39.:58:42.

minutes to defend against such quality in the Premier League now

:58:43.:58:51.

which the Premier League teams possess. They had their scares when

:58:52.:58:55.

Wycombe came here, Spurs. They got away with that one. They have had a

:58:56.:59:02.

bit of luck, that's for sure, that game, and the fact they've been

:59:03.:59:07.

drawn at home. They have not played a Premier League team yet. I was

:59:08.:59:11.

just going to say, and not a Premier League team. That's what the cup is

:59:12.:59:15.

sometimes. Sometimes it goes for you, sometimes it doesn't. Eriksen.

:59:16.:59:23.

Trippier. There is the cross in, Dele Alli's touch, cannoned off

:59:24.:59:30.

Davies, I think. Goalkick. It was Davies who got the last touch

:59:31.:59:33.

despite Dele Alli's attempts to put the ball in the corner quadrant.

:59:34.:59:39.

And we are about to see Shane Ferguson come on. Jed Wallace is

:59:40.:59:52.

making way. Shane Ferguson, the former Newcastle man, Northern

:59:53.:59:58.

Ireland international, played in Euro 2016 for Northern Ireland in

:59:59.:00:15.

the group match against Poland. Good experienced player to bring on,

:00:16.:00:17.

Ferguson. Well, Millwall, now, supporters

:00:18.:00:32.

anyway, our thinking, can we get the consolation of a goal to cheer at

:00:33.:00:40.

White Hart Lane? Yeah. This came close. Probably their best chance

:00:41.:00:46.

after that move involving substitute Onyedinma. Williams is going to take

:00:47.:00:57.

this. Cushioned it in, Williams. Cooper got ahead on it. Vertonghen

:00:58.:01:11.

has gone down holding his face. The ball in was not quite brave enough,

:01:12.:01:15.

looped in rather than trying to put pace on it. Easy to defend. Caught a

:01:16.:01:21.

little forearm in the face. Never used to get centre halves that

:01:22.:01:36.

good looking back in the day, did you?

:01:37.:01:50.

Had a terrific side, Millwall, in the Sheringham days. Tony Cascarino,

:01:51.:02:02.

Jimmy Carter in midfield. Yeah. Here is Trippier, Eriksen, tap in, 4-0,

:02:03.:02:06.

Dele Alli. Well, perhaps not as spectacular in

:02:07.:02:22.

its conversion, but very, very nice in its creation. Dele Alli scores.

:02:23.:02:33.

Look at this for a pass. Great spot from Eriksen. He knows that Dele

:02:34.:02:39.

Alli continually runs late into the box, he has done all afternoon and

:02:40.:02:44.

he was always going to get one. He gets himself in there. Great desire

:02:45.:02:52.

to want to score goals. Eriksen playing with that vision and

:02:53.:03:01.

confidence is a real danger. It has been a dominant display. Really,

:03:02.:03:06.

really good from Tottenham. Dele Alli's 16th goal of this season.

:03:07.:03:10.

That's a terrific return. Here he is. Janssen is stripped and ready

:03:11.:03:21.

for action. Here is Trippier. Ooh, that touch from Shaun Cummings just

:03:22.:03:29.

took it away from Wanyama. Having taken his season 's tally to 16,

:03:30.:03:35.

Dele Alli, I think, is going to be replaced by Vincent Janssen. They

:03:36.:03:42.

may take this corner first, they do. Here is Winks. Blocked by Ferguson.

:03:43.:03:44.

Onyedinma here. Good turn from Son Heung-Min. Too

:03:45.:03:58.

quick for Webster. Stretching Cooper.

:03:59.:04:07.

Free kick, Millwall. And a chance for Spurs to make the substitution.

:04:08.:04:20.

Standing ovation, richly deserved, yet again. Good decision, there.

:04:21.:04:36.

Nice little tap in for him. Give him a little breather. Plays lots of

:04:37.:04:40.

games, Dele Alli, put in a hell of a shift every time he does venture

:04:41.:04:45.

onto the pitch. 20 minutes breather for him. Give Jansen may be the

:04:46.:04:53.

opportunity to score in open play. 27 goals last season for Alkmaar in

:04:54.:05:01.

Holland. Four so far for Spurs in England, all of them penalties. Here

:05:02.:05:12.

is Wanyama. Son. Janssen trying to play it back into the path of Son

:05:13.:05:15.

Heung-Min, who is not done yet. Wanyama.

:05:16.:05:32.

Onyedinma trying to force Son Heung-Min away from the danger area

:05:33.:05:39.

and he has won a throw in the end, he has done well. Son looks

:05:40.:05:52.

horrified with Martin Atkinson's decision. All he will be thinking

:05:53.:05:57.

about now, can I get the match ball? You don't get many opportunities to

:05:58.:06:05.

score a hat-trick. Seen three hat-tricks, Spurs fans, already,

:06:06.:06:12.

this calendar year. All of them from Harry Kane. Christian Eriksen,

:06:13.:06:24.

Trippier. Wanyama... On target. King getting his body behind it. The ball

:06:25.:06:26.

is kept in by Kieran Trippier. Here is Janssen. Winks dispossessed,

:06:27.:06:54.

good challenge by Onyedinma. Free kick, Millwall. Played up

:06:55.:07:19.

towards Gregory. It has been really tough for

:07:20.:07:51.

Millwall, this. Tottenham aren't just the Premier League team, they

:07:52.:07:55.

are a very, very good Premier League team, who, at home, are nearly

:07:56.:08:01.

unbeatable, at times. Their defensive shape, their quality,

:08:02.:08:06.

organisation, creativity and energy going forward. It was a massive ask

:08:07.:08:18.

for Millwall. Janssen... A long way wide in the end. Can't blame him,

:08:19.:08:22.

get it out of your feet and have a go. Spurs making another change.

:08:23.:08:32.

Victor Wanyama is coming off to be replaced by Moussa Sissoko. He was

:08:33.:08:41.

good, Wanyama, especially in the first half. Really good season for

:08:42.:08:55.

his new club. Sissoko comes on. He has not had the impact at White Hart

:08:56.:08:59.

Lane, yet, that Spurs would have been hoping for since his move from

:09:00.:09:06.

Newcastle. His pretty hefty move from Newcastle in terms of shillings

:09:07.:09:14.

and pence. Yeah, he's been inconsistent. Certainly not short of

:09:15.:09:23.

ability. Pochettino was quite openly critical of him back in the autumn.

:09:24.:09:32.

Ooh, a mistake by Eric Dier. Vorm away. On site here, Son. Jansen!

:09:33.:09:47.

He will be ecstatic with that. Getting become -- getting the

:09:48.:10:06.

congratulations all his team-mates. Vincent Janssen scores from open

:10:07.:10:09.

play for the first time for Tottenham Hotspur. You can see what

:10:10.:10:16.

it means to him. Son did really well for him, you are thinking, Ayew

:10:17.:10:20.

going to go on your own for the hat-trick? He looks up and sees him

:10:21.:10:24.

in a better position. Really tidy finish, that is. Crisply hit into

:10:25.:10:36.

the corner. And exactly why Pochettino was right to bring him on

:10:37.:10:44.

in a game like this. They are absolutely thrilled for him. Ten

:10:45.:10:55.

starts, 20 substitute appearances, first goal from open play.

:10:56.:11:08.

That will do him the world of good. Might get another one in a minute.

:11:09.:11:16.

Here he is again, Janssen scrapping for it. Cummings only just evading

:11:17.:11:24.

Christian Eriksen. That's an wise from Shaun Cummings, here's Ben

:11:25.:11:28.

Davies. Put behind for the Spurs corner. With ten minutes to go it's

:11:29.:11:34.

kind of pick a number at the moment as to how many more Spurs might get.

:11:35.:11:38.

Well, they are dead on their feet, aren't they, Millwall?

:11:39.:11:56.

Out by Onyedinma, back to Christian Eriksen. Goalkick. Remember many

:11:57.:12:11.

years ago Arsenal fans had T-shirts printed, I saw Jensen score. Similar

:12:12.:12:21.

name. To be fair he had scored prior to today but only from the penalty

:12:22.:12:27.

spot. Might be the first of many, who knows? Careers have turned on

:12:28.:12:34.

less than that. Could well do. Whistle had gone already before

:12:35.:12:39.

Gregory lashed that. It can be hard at a new team, you get a run in the

:12:40.:12:45.

team and it doesn't quite go for you, your confidence drops and

:12:46.:12:48.

before you know it you are being looked at different than you were

:12:49.:12:52.

six months previous. So hopefully it will get better for him now. Neil

:12:53.:12:56.

Harris now is just concerned that his team does not unravel in the

:12:57.:13:03.

last ten minutes. Here is Son Heung-Min. Trippier, there's a space

:13:04.:13:10.

everywhere for Spurs. Behind by Craig for yet another Tottenham

:13:11.:13:19.

corner. To 11 now. Trippier. Sissoko.

:13:20.:13:32.

In from the Vertonghen, Jansen! Welcome he really should have

:13:33.:13:41.

scored. He should have. Great ball in as well. I mean, it was an easier

:13:42.:14:01.

chance than the one he scored. Here it is. Doesn't get a great contact

:14:02.:14:10.

on it. Got to aim that more to the back post. Putting it in just about

:14:11.:14:14.

the only place Tom King could possibly save it. Here he is again,

:14:15.:14:18.

Janssen. Deflected. He will want to get one more, I

:14:19.:14:31.

would imagine, after missing that. Who is to say in the next six

:14:32.:14:34.

minutes he went? Because Tottenham are completely on top.

:14:35.:14:43.

Getting a little carried away, Harry Winks. Hoping that he could get in

:14:44.:15:03.

on the act. He's an exciting young prospect for Tottenham Hotspur, is

:15:04.:15:09.

Harry Winks. I think he's a super player. I've seen him three times

:15:10.:15:13.

live now. He's very confident. He always wants the ball. It doesn't

:15:14.:15:19.

look to faze him, no matter how big the game. Great future ahead of him.

:15:20.:15:24.

Gives you a minute or two to consider your Man of the Match,

:15:25.:15:29.

Danny, in this FA Cup quarterfinal. Here is Williams. Spurs throw.

:15:30.:15:51.

Obviously this has been a step too far for Millwall today. Yeah, I mean

:15:52.:15:57.

they will be disappointed because they've been battered, basically, by

:15:58.:16:01.

a really good team. But they should not be down on themselves, they've

:16:02.:16:04.

had a great run, beaten three Premier League teams. They've all

:16:05.:16:09.

been good goals, but the first two especially, super quality. And once

:16:10.:16:16.

they went 2-0 up, it's very difficult for them to come out and

:16:17.:16:20.

try and press Spurs. They should just be proud and not let it affect

:16:21.:16:26.

their form coming up in the league. Davies hammering it into Shaun

:16:27.:16:34.

Cummings. Who is your Man of the Match, Danny? There has been some

:16:35.:16:40.

great performances, Eriksen has been terrific, Dele Alli again. But I'm

:16:41.:16:45.

going to go for Son. Not just his goals, since he has gone up front he

:16:46.:16:50.

has ran the channels, his movement has been great, his touch has been

:16:51.:16:55.

good. He's give the assist to Janssen. For me, best player on the

:16:56.:17:04.

pitch today. Son Heung-Min will be pleased with his goal tally this

:17:05.:17:05.

season, 13. Eriksen Ford, Son might get his

:17:06.:17:18.

hat-trick yet, Son finding space. Important touch by Craig to take it

:17:19.:17:22.

away from him, well timed touch as well, actually. I tell you what,

:17:23.:17:28.

there was an argument to take him on because with Harry Kane injured you

:17:29.:17:36.

need to protect him now. I think Pochettino wisely taking off Dele

:17:37.:17:40.

Alli with two stars shining brighter than the rest of this Spurs team,

:17:41.:17:45.

then it is probably Kane and Alli. That's true. Vincent Janssen almost

:17:46.:17:57.

finding Son. Gregory. Onyedinma here for Millwall, back into Gregory, who

:17:58.:17:59.

has done well to get there. Vincent Janssen being held by

:18:00.:18:27.

Webster. So this is it now, the last couple of minutes of FA Cup football

:18:28.:18:39.

at one of the grand old homes of cup football, White Hart Lane. Their

:18:40.:18:45.

biggest win was 13- to hear against Crewe. Even the new stadium were

:18:46.:18:54.

holed quite as many. A bright future for this club and this team, and an

:18:55.:18:59.

FA Cup semifinal for certain coming their way. Trippier. Sissoko.

:19:00.:19:19.

Son Heung-min. Williams got his head on that. It was a good strike. It

:19:20.:19:25.

looked to me that it had the curl he was hoping to get as well which

:19:26.:19:28.

might have taken it in the top corner. Here is Winks. Spurs looking

:19:29.:19:39.

for a sixth. Sissoko. Deflected. Vincent Janssen. It is a free kick.

:19:40.:19:52.

He will have appreciated the gesture, Vincent Janssen, every

:19:53.:19:55.

single outfield player came to congratulate him. What is important

:19:56.:19:58.

about that is he is well liked, obviously popular amongst the squad,

:19:59.:20:02.

and that means he's doing something right in training, he's obviously

:20:03.:20:06.

working hard, getting on with the lads, it gives him half a chance.

:20:07.:20:15.

Still emotionally part of the group. Sometimes if you are having a bad

:20:16.:20:21.

time yourself you can let it affect your mood and your relationships

:20:22.:20:24.

with your team-mates when you are new to a club and feel a bit

:20:25.:20:28.

isolated, but obviously not the case with Janssen. Here is Sissoko,

:20:29.:20:34.

nicely done by Son Heung-min. Sissoko. Out by Cooper. Trippier.

:20:35.:20:40.

Lee Mason, the fourth official, is waving his board about getting it

:20:41.:20:44.

ready. Son Heung-min, lovely feet, Eriksen. Sissoko. Harry Winks. Maybe

:20:45.:20:53.

a couple of feet off the mark from Harry Winks. Still a good effort,

:20:54.:20:59.

though. I like the fact he's prepared to take on his weak foot.

:21:00.:21:12.

Technically a very good shot. Just a few inches past the post. He has

:21:13.:21:18.

that mindset, confidence, at such a young age.

:21:19.:21:26.

Still, Onyedinma in support. Cummings looking to take on

:21:27.:21:43.

Vertonghen. Beaten to it by Davies. Moussa Sissoko here, Spurs might

:21:44.:21:47.

break if Sissoko gets his pass right, Sissoko still, Christian

:21:48.:21:51.

Eriksen is onside, Janssen and Son in the middle, Son on a hat-trick

:21:52.:21:56.

and here he is Andy King lets it through his legs for six and Son has

:21:57.:22:05.

his hat-trick. Well, you have to feel sorry for Tom King in the

:22:06.:22:15.

Millwall goal. But Son Heung-min gets a hat-trick and Spurs get six.

:22:16.:22:21.

Sissoko, brilliant run, good pick out from Eriksen, he doesn't quite

:22:22.:22:25.

get hold of it. You've got a feel for him but you've got to be happy

:22:26.:22:29.

for Son, his performance has warranted the hat-trick. The keeper

:22:30.:22:39.

will not want to see that again. It is rather cruelly being played time

:22:40.:22:43.

and again on the big screen. I know, I know. He cannot fail to see it.

:22:44.:22:50.

Pretty much six of the best, a bit of a masterclass from Tottenham

:22:51.:22:58.

Hotspur in the art of finishing, even without their main man.

:22:59.:23:03.

Thoughts will turn to Harry Kane and what the medical staff have to say

:23:04.:23:11.

about the injury to his right ankle. But Spurs turned it on even without

:23:12.:23:15.

Harry Kane, far too good for Millwall in the end. They are

:23:16.:23:20.

through to the last four of the FA Cup. Eriksen scored a good goal,

:23:21.:23:25.

Janssen scored his first goal from open play, Dele Alli scored a

:23:26.:23:30.

beautifully crafted tap in and Son Heung-min got three. Tottenham

:23:31.:23:31.

Hotspur 6-0 Millwall. STUDIO: Spurs are on their way to

:23:32.:23:41.

Wembley, as they like to say in these parts, as they often are these

:23:42.:23:44.

days, of course, and will be for much of next season, hat-trick for

:23:45.:23:49.

Son, Pochettino will be happy, and all in all a massive gulf in class,

:23:50.:23:56.

Alan. Yes, a very professional and impressive performance from

:23:57.:23:59.

Tottenham, they never gave Millwall a sniff, Millwall didn't have an

:24:00.:24:03.

effort on target, going forward some of their goals were superb, the

:24:04.:24:08.

technique of three or four of the goals was great to watch. Very one

:24:09.:24:15.

sided, Teddy. Yes, we said ten minutes at the start of the second

:24:16.:24:17.

half would be crucial but Tottenham killed it off with a fantastic goal

:24:18.:24:21.

for Son, with his second and the third goal killed it off. We have

:24:22.:24:26.

seen lots of football from Tottenham as we have on many occasions this

:24:27.:24:30.

season. Very professional from back to front, stand-up performances, Son

:24:31.:24:34.

got the hat-trick but Trippier at right back was sensational and Harry

:24:35.:24:39.

Winks was calm and control in midfield and ever impressive,

:24:40.:24:42.

Pochettino obviously giving his players a hug and he will be

:24:43.:24:46.

delighted. Difficult one for Millwall to bounce back from. You

:24:47.:24:49.

just hope it doesn't have some kind of negative effect on their league

:24:50.:24:54.

form. Yes, they've got to put that out of the window now, you've had

:24:55.:24:57.

your day out at White Hart Lane, back to the bread-and-butter, they

:24:58.:25:03.

play Bury at home next week and they are in a promotion push and they

:25:04.:25:06.

need to get back to winning ways and put it out of their minds and get

:25:07.:25:09.

back to winning ways next week. It was a bit of a lesson, though. It

:25:10.:25:12.

was always going to be tough, nobody other than the Millwall fans thought

:25:13.:25:15.

they could go away with a victory today but it was total domination

:25:16.:25:19.

from Tottenham, very, very professional from start to finish

:25:20.:25:23.

and some excellent goals. We will start with the second half goals, we

:25:24.:25:29.

will have a look at those. Son's second of the game, fabulous pass

:25:30.:25:32.

and wonderful finish over the shoulder. The weight of pass is

:25:33.:25:35.

superb, the run in the first place but the technique coming over the

:25:36.:25:39.

right shoulder, and the technique to get it on target, it was a brilliant

:25:40.:25:46.

goal. Everything about the goal was just superb. This is exactly why he

:25:47.:25:52.

came on, or he stayed on and Janssen didn't, it was a case of stretching

:25:53.:25:56.

them behind and little balls over the top, perfect timing, fantastic

:25:57.:26:00.

ball as you said from Trippier, and a wonderful finish. As is so often

:26:01.:26:05.

the case, in recent weeks, Dele Alli got in on the goal-scoring act

:26:06.:26:09.

again. He makes so many runs into the box, eventually one will drop to

:26:10.:26:12.

him. He missed an opportunity from a great ball from Alderweireld

:26:13.:26:17.

actually, but he was never going to miss this one, intelligent play from

:26:18.:26:21.

Winks in midfield, lovely pass out wide to Trippier and this pass from

:26:22.:26:24.

Eriksen this spot on, beautiful football. It is, as a team goal that

:26:25.:26:30.

is as good as it gets and it is real quality but it's about Dele Alli

:26:31.:26:33.

consistently making runs into the box at the right time at the right

:26:34.:26:39.

moments. He gets his head down. That was the difference in standard, how

:26:40.:26:42.

they passed it so quickly and moved it so quickly, Millwall couldn't

:26:43.:26:46.

cope with it. Perhaps the biggest cheer was for Vincent Janssen for

:26:47.:26:49.

understandable reasons, his first goal in open play, it has been a

:26:50.:26:52.

long time coming, you could feel the relief around the stadium. Without

:26:53.:26:56.

doubt, and a lovely goal for him, and sometimes when you get 3-0, 4-0

:26:57.:27:02.

up people start taking the Mickey out of other teams and getting a

:27:03.:27:06.

little bit flash but this was a professional performance by

:27:07.:27:10.

Tottenham in the second half, 3-0 up and the game was over with half an

:27:11.:27:13.

hour to go and they still played it properly and that's why the goal

:27:14.:27:16.

came about, they opened the team, short pass, lovely finish. That is

:27:17.:27:20.

what the manager would want, you put him on because he could see they

:27:21.:27:23.

were creating chances and that is why he put him on, to do that. We

:27:24.:27:28.

can hear from one of the Tottenham goal-scorers, Dele Alli.

:27:29.:27:30.

What a performance and result and you have shown everybody you are up

:27:31.:27:35.

for this cup. Definitely, we fancied ourselves

:27:36.:27:37.

today, we knew it would not be easy for us but we knew if we stuck to

:27:38.:27:41.

the game plan and the chances would come and we stuck them away. Some

:27:42.:27:44.

great finishes and he will needed to step up when Harry Kane went off. It

:27:45.:27:48.

was a difficult start in that regard but some great finishes. Definitely,

:27:49.:27:52.

always horrible to use Dummett lose a player like Kane but it shows the

:27:53.:27:57.

depth and quality we have in the squad, when he went off everybody

:27:58.:28:00.

stepped up and rose up and everybody stepped up a gear and we wish him a

:28:01.:28:03.

speedy recovery. We have together and see what has happened to him but

:28:04.:28:06.

it was an important win for us, not just for the cup but for the league,

:28:07.:28:11.

important to keep the form and get the goals. You were relentless as

:28:12.:28:14.

well, you didn't switch off or slow down when it got a three or four.

:28:15.:28:18.

Why is that? What is it about this team? We are hungry for goals, we

:28:19.:28:22.

knew it would be a difficult game and we didn't want to give them a

:28:23.:28:25.

chance to get back into it because they have got a threat and when it

:28:26.:28:29.

was 2-0 it is a horrible result in case they score and it can get a bit

:28:30.:28:33.

nervy but everyone wants to score and get goals and that is a good

:28:34.:28:37.

thing for this team. Well done, Dele Alli.

:28:38.:28:43.

Thank you. Let's round it off, six goals for Tottenham, three for Son,

:28:44.:28:47.

nice hat-trick for him. Bit of a shame for the keeper. I felt sorry

:28:48.:28:51.

for the goalkeeper, the other five he had no chance with those goals

:28:52.:28:54.

but this one he should save it, it is straight at him. But very good

:28:55.:28:59.

for Son, in the position again. Straight through Tom King. It's all

:29:00.:29:04.

about hitting the target, as you three constantly talk about, because

:29:05.:29:08.

there is a chance that the keeper will make a mistake. He deserved his

:29:09.:29:13.

hat-trick, great performance. Great for his confidence also because if

:29:14.:29:16.

Kane is going to miss a bit of the season he will have to step up and

:29:17.:29:20.

put in those performances. And it is a boost for Tottenham because they

:29:21.:29:24.

will need that cover. It looks like it but we hope it is nothing

:29:25.:29:27.

serious. Three goals coming on playing as a centre forward, you'd

:29:28.:29:31.

be delighted with that every time. The semifinals might be a bit tasty.

:29:32.:29:38.

There are few names in there. Tottenham, Manchester City command

:29:39.:29:41.

either Chelsea or Manchester United. It is a bit tasty now in the

:29:42.:29:45.

semifinal. Who do you fancy in the last one? Chelsea or Manchester

:29:46.:29:53.

United? Chelsea. Who do you think? Who do I think? Just thought you

:29:54.:30:00.

might go against the grain. I think Chelsea. Should be good game, on BBC

:30:01.:30:06.

One tomorrow night. Make sure you don't miss it, Chelsea against

:30:07.:30:09.

Manchester United and then we will know the four semifinalists but one

:30:10.:30:12.

of them are Spurs, through to the semifinal of the FA Cup on a happy

:30:13.:30:16.

Sunday. From all of us here, goodbye.

:30:17.:30:21.

COMMENTATOR: Will it be Tottenham? Will it be Millwall? That is a sad

:30:22.:30:25.

sight for Tottenham fans. Dele Alli, was he being held?

:30:26.:30:32.

Eriksen! Great finish from Christian Eriksen.

:30:33.:30:34.

Son Heung-min! That's a brilliant goal.

:30:35.:30:38.

Son, that's a good one, well found, 3-0.

:30:39.:30:44.

Tap in, 4-0, Dele Alli. Janssen!

:30:45.:30:47.
