COMMENTARY MONTAGE

Welcome to Rochdale for the fifth

round of the Emirates FA Cup. We

have all the classic upsetting

ingredients, the home side rooted to

the bottom of League 1 against a

Tottenham team 63 places above them

and doing well in Europe. And, of

course, there's the pitch.

Calvin Andrew. He has got to the

ball. Andrew inside the penalty

area! 1-0! What a goal! What

wonderful work. Aside from Cannon.

Rochdale take the lead.

wonderful work. Aside from Cannon.

Rochdale take the lead.

Tottenham stars would have been

dreading playing on that pitch but

they needn't have worried, it's been

relayed. It's like Wembley!

Tottenham are now on a 13 match

unbeaten run in all competitions

after that cracking draw away to

Juventus in the Champions League

last week. 11 changes from the team

that started in Turin, but plenty of

internationals in the team today. A

daunting task for Rochdale and their

manager, Keith Hill. Just one win in

their last six league games have

left them 11 points from safety at

the bottom of League 1.

It's a sell-out today, 10,000 have

fans have packed into the recently

renamed Crown Oil Arena. You might

know it better at Scotland. 3000

Tottenham supporters have made the

journey. The first time the clubs

have ever played each other.

Joining us for this special

occasion, Alan Shearer and birthday

boy Jermaine Jenas, still only 35!

Been doing this for 12 years.

Too

long. You must have retired very

early as a footballer, that is all I

can say.

Firstly, spectacular change

of the playing surface.

Absolutely.

Incredible, they've done a

magnificent job in the last few days

to get it in the condition it

actually is in. Speaking to the

manager beforehand, I said, "Did you

not want to leave it until tomorrow

to have the new page?" And he was

adamant he wanted the picture laid.

Possibly has Tottenham helped them?

-- new pitch. There is every chance

Tottenham has helped them

financially. They will be delighted

with the condition on the pitch. The

manager wants the pitch in good

condition, Keith Hill, because he

believes his team can take them on

playing football.

As I say, makes an

upset less likely, Jermaine Jenas?

playing football.

As I say, makes an

upset less likely, Jermaine

100%.

Yes. We saw the pitch before. It

looked very difficult to play any

type of football.

That is not the

groundsman, that is Keith Hill, the

manager.

But it will give these

founds a spectacle, to see some real

quality not only from their own

players, world-class players from

Tottenham.

You know who made his

professional debut here?

Harry Kane.

For who?

Leyton Orient. 1-1!

Here is

the Tottenham team for this

afternoon. Let's have a look at the

starting line-up.

11 changes for Spurs. Michael

Vaughan captains the side. Toby

Alderweireld comes in at centre-back

after missing the midweek trip to

Turin. Harry Weeks partners Victor

Wanyama in midfield and Brazilian

Lucas Moura makes his first start

for the club on the wing. Fernando

Llorente leads the line with Harry

Kane on the bench.

For Rochdale, we will... Look at

Rochdale very shortly. First, let's

go pitch side. We have been speaking

to Kieran Trippier.

Here we are. Bury lad at Rochdale

and you played at Burnley, not too

far from here. Like home to home.

I

live a couple of minutes away from

here. I'm delighted to be back. It

will be a tough game today and

hopefully we can win.

Considering

you were in Turin taking on Juventus

on Tuesday and here while we do

League 1 Rochdale, how much does it

take to readjust your focus for a

fixed you like this?

It was a big

midweek game. A good result and we

have come here fully focused. Full

of momentum. We want to get the win

and go

and go through round.

So much has

been made about the pitch. It almost

looks spotless. What is your initial

impression?

Rochdale have done a

good job, only a couple of days.

Looks like a fantastic surface. Get

the ball down, play well and

hopefully we will win. We can see

your manager over his shoulder

having a look with his assistance.

He will be delighted with what he

has seen.

Of course. People

complained about the pitch

previously but they did a fantastic

job to get it ready for today's

game. A good game and hopefully

everyone enjoys it.

Possibly the

draw has been made ready for the

quarterfinals, you could be up

against Sheffield Wednesday or

Swansea, is there added incentive

knowing you have eluded the other

members of the big four for the

final eight?

We want to get there

added to the final. A tough game

today against Rochdale, we will not

look too far ahead to the next

round, there is a tough fixture in

front of us. We will enjoy ourselves

and try to win.

We wish you well.

Thank you.

It shows signs that the Tottenham

squad is strong when they can still

put a team as strong as that. Some

changes. A chance for you rent out.

It is a chance come he hasn't had

that many.

We will not if you have

Harry Kane in your team.

I am sure

he knew the deal when he signed.

When you are playing, particularly

as a forward, you've got to make an

impression.

as a forward, you've got to make an

impression. This was in the previous

round. You can see he is rusty. Not

comfortable at all with his back to

goal. This was in... The replay. Did

reasonably well. Gets into the box.

An absolute sitter. We know how good

he is or how good he can be in the

air. Another very, very good

opportunity late on. He puts this

one wide or so. He's got another

opportunity today to try and stake a

claim. But as I said, when you've

got a guy like Harry Kane in front

of you, you will not buy that often.

You can see the headed goals, it

gives them a different dynamic. We

saw them play Real Madrid with Harry

Kane but not very often.

The problem

for you rent, when they played

together, the game against Madrid

was the only one when it clicks

between him and Harry Kane --

problem for your rent day. No doubt

he is a top player. When you have

Harry Kane leading the line...

290

minutes all season twice that is all

he has played, not enough. Lucas

Moura making his first start. -- two

90 minutes starts.

The club have been crying out for

some raw pace ever since they lost

Kyle Walker to Man City. Danny Rose

hasn't played as much. We will see

him play today. Hasn't got the fear

factor with blistering pace in

behind Harry Kane or Llorente. He

needs the minutes to get himself

going.

Pochettino has decided to

rest one or two of his big stars,

Kane and Alli in particular have

been left out. They are on the

bench. Does that defeat the object

of resting?

I can speak from

experience. The travelling tires

you, you need to do the warm up and

if they don't get on, they will be

doing runs after the game on the

pitch. I often look at managers and

think, why don't you start with your

strongest team, scored two or three

goals and then get your top players

off.

Or rest them all together, give

them a weekend.

That in itself,

Gary, is a risk because you might to

save the game.

Jermaine you are much

more recent than us old boys to the

game. LAUGHTER

From a Spurs perspective, the fans

will be delighted to see them as

that insurance. They had a bit of a

scare against Newport County. They

will feel that this is a competition

that they can go on and win. To have

them is an insurance that is needed.

The Rochdale manager Keith Hill has

been in charge for more than 500

games in two different spells. As

well as playing more than 150

matches for the club. Here he is.

Here we

Here we are. Never has a pitch been

rarely spoken about so much before

this cup tie. Have a look, it has

been some transformation since the

Millwall type.

Within the last week

we had the game cancelled at

Fleetwood last weekend. We were due

to start work on the pitch straight

after the postponement. We couldn't

start until mid -- mid-afternoon on

Sunday. An achievement to get a

superb pitch laid.

This has been

labelled as I could be the biggest

game in Rochdale's history, how

excited are you buy this cup tie?

Very excited but as a manager, you

have to be, I suppose, focused on a

plan. They plan to try and be

successful. We want to win every

game and that is what we have done.

We have tried to focus on the game

itself on that everybody else deal

with the sideshows, the carnival,

the day in itself is an experience

for the supporters. A tremendous

achievement for the football club

and players.

What is the game plan

for Rochdale? How do you go about

doing something that Manchester

United, Liverpool, Arsenal and even

Juventus have failed to do recently

and beat this Tottenham side?

We are

not focused on that.

My players are capable. On a one-off

occasion situation like this, they

can bring their A-game. The new boys

coming in as well, it is like an

experience for them to test

themselves against an outstanding

side. We want to try and play our

natural game, we have to make it

uncomfortable for the opponents. We

have to do. That will probably mean

pressing, getting up close and

physical. Key decisions within the

games, the players have got to be

responsible. They've got to be

better than they have been in their

careers.

That's the thing, you are

just as comfortable in possession,

that's the style of play you like to

implement. Whatever has gone on with

the pitch did hinder you as well?

It

has but it can't be an excuse. We

try to play football. To test those

ethoss against Tottenham will be

difficult. I can't change the way

that the players think. The way we

have trained the players over the

course of the last five years. We

will be testing ourselves severely

against supreme opposition who do

things the way that we want to do

probably 20 or 30 times better.

Interestingly Matt Dunne spoke up

about teams higher up the pyramid

underestimating Rochdale because

it's little Rochdale, is that what

you are hoping for?

I don't think

they will get it. They had it in the

previous round against Newport and

they realised they dodged a bullet

potentially. You know, the banana

skin. But I think they will respect

us and the way we play. Hopefully,

we can do enough to at least give a

good reflection of the way we do

things at this football club.

It's a

family occasion for you?

Your son,

Sydney, is one of the mascots today.

He is, he is the lead mascot with

Iain Henderson. Unfortunately my dad

died this time last year that he

will be here in memory. Special

occasion for the family.

Should be

an amazing afternoon. We wish you

will be very best.

Thank you. I am

looking forward to it now.

I'm sure

he is. I used to play a board game

when I was a kid, football game,

can't remember what it's called but

I always used to like to be little

Rochdale. Not very interesting but I

thought I would share that. I

suppose the man who will get the

goals for them if they score any

will be Iain Henderson. Five in this

cup run.

Their captain, their leader

is experienced. I've already in the

FA Cup. Including the winner in the

last round against Millwall. They

will be looking to him today. A very

clever finish. They will not get

many today that when they do, they

will want at least one to fall to

this guy. He is the guy that can

finish.

The atmosphere is important

and he is a fan favourite. It is

already getting going.

and he is a fan favourite. It is

already getting going. They will

need people like himself as captain,

leader of this team to not only give

them that assurance with his

experience, but get the place is

buzzing and rocking.

Build that

pressure. They have got a player

half his age on that bench, Daniel

Adshead, 16 years old. He has called

tomorrow, doing his GCSEs. Deputy

head boy as well. -- he has school

tomorrow. He will start on the

bench, I don't know whether that is

detention.

He was saying that is

what he has to do at this particular

football club. He has to promote the

youth and he's doing a very good job

in doing that over the years, some

of the players that have come

through.

of the players that have come

through.

Can't go to extra time, he

will be home to do his homework.

Time to hear from Joe Thompson, just

28 years old, he has fought back

from cancer not once but twice. Here

is his story. He is a player for

Rochdale.

I was playing quite well, to be

fair. I was feeling good and then

all of a sudden I just woke up one

morning and I felt terrible. I have

some lumps that had popped up on the

left-hand side of my neck and a week

later the doctor came back and told

me that I'd got cancer. I had

chemotherapy for six months. The

doctors told me that, basically, I

was sorted and I was clear. It was,

"Right, locate, we can start to

build", because life has been put on

hold. A sense of relief, definitely.

I came to Rochdale 18 months ago.

I was playing week in, week out,

last season. I just happened to have

a three-year scan and the doctor

just flagged up that something was

slightly different from previous

scams. -- previous scans. He tried

to break it to me as best as he

could. I burst into tears, there's

no shame in saying that. Everything

was good and it all just came

crashing down again. I needed to

make sure I got myself sorted for

myself and obviously my family. I

was petrified that, potentially,

wasn't going to be around for them.

My little girl was one, the first

time round. But I knew, this time, I

was physically going to change. I

knew I had to spend more time in the

hospital, we from her. It did... It

broke my heart.

I hope you get

better soon. I miss you.

I was on 24-hour chemotherapy. Those

weeks felt long. And then I was,

basically, locked in a room,

solitary confinement. You're in a

box. At the start of that, you're

given what I would say is probably

the most potent chemotherapy you can

have. And it was torture.

And that's where you come across the

emotional side of things and the

psychology side of things. And it

was testing. And it did test my

sanity.

Luckily, I managed to get out after

18 days. I could barely walk. But

when I did get myself out, little

bit of breeze on my skin, I did,

literally, feel like a free man. Not

everyone has beaten cancer, so I am

very, very lucky. Crossing the white

line is something that I hoped to do

again, even though I was obviously

not guaranteed to do. It kind of

justifies everything of why I've

worked so hard and sacrificed so

much and gone through so much pain

to get out there. I know every day

is a blessing. Being out of the

football pitches where I feel free.

You can forget about everything and

just go and enjoy competing.

We certainly wish him well,

remarkable story, just six months or

so ago he was finishing his

treatment and here he is now on the

bench this afternoon, facing the

mighty Tottenham Hotspur 's.

It's quite a story, isn't it?

It is.

That is the first time I've seen

that BT. -- that video tape. Taken

aback by how he handled the whole

situation. His family is obviously

very important to getting him back

out there today. It is one of those

situations where you just think, you

know what, fair play, you've

obviously fought hard to get

yourself back out here. Hopefully he

gets on the pitch.

Powerful,

powerful story listening to how hard

it has been. It says a lot about who

and what he is, that he is able to

take part hopefully in some part of

the game today.

We wish him well.

Let's hear from the Tottenham

Hotspur manager, Mauricio

Pochettino.

A lot has been made about the

playing surface. We saw you earlier

inspecting the pitch. You seemed

very happy.

I think it is fantastic.

We need to congratulate everyone

that was involved in this hard job

to try to... To improve and changed

the pitch. I think they are very

happy.

Everyone is happy and we are so

happy because it is a pitch you can

play football. The common touch with

football, for Rochdale, Tottenham,

the FA. -- to get in touch. We're

both happy but I to recognise that

the people that work involved to

improve and change the pitch. It was

a big job. Congratulations. Because

this afternoon, football is going to

win.

You have decided to make 11

changes, how much of a gamble is

that?

No... I think almost all the

players started this season in the

Premier League and Champions League.

All different cups.

The starting XI are all

international. They all have

experience.

A few months ago, like Son started

in the Premier League, the Champions

League, but it's not about the is

rotating the squad, it is about

being focused on the performance. We

are focused and ready to compete. We

know very well because it's

important to learn from the past.

Newport is a fantastic example of

how we need to do the things. We

have a great opportunity to show

that we have learned. If not, we

need to improve again.

Thank you.

Not the be all and end all but he

could really do with a trophy.

Desperately need a trophy in the

next 18 months for the reasons many

have spoken about. Big-name players.

It is a bit of a risk today.

11 changes and naming players in

there who are short of game time.

That could give Rochdale a

confidence boost today. And the way

they play against Newport.

It will

be tough. Quite good to see players

coming back from fitness like Winks

and Alderweireld. Moura's first

start.

Good to see them coming back

into the squad. It can be a bit of a

risk. Five of them almost that

haven't got that game practice so to

speak under their belts. They have

got more than enough quality to get

through this particular game. There

is no way they wouldn't have seen

the draw yesterday and thought we

need to be added to get ourselves

through.

But this is Rochdale's day.

Fifth round in the FA Cup. Have they

got a chance?

If we need an example

of why we love the FA Cup, four days

ago this team was in during playing

against superstars and what an

opportunity for this Rochdale team

to make a name for themselves --

playing in during.

The biggest day

in their club's history. They are up

for it. The fans are so glad I can

hardly hear you talk to me. Looking

forward to it.

Very noisy. The

referee grabs the match ball. Danny

Murphy and Guy Mowbray

referee grabs the match ball. Danny

Murphy and Guy Mowbray are our

commentary team. COMMENTATOR: Thank

you and welcome to the Crown Oil

Arena for a game of firsts. First

time this new pitch will be played

upon, first time these two clubs

have ever played each other and

can't ever have been a time when any

club's of fixtures at in eight days

has been Wembley, Juventus and

Rochdale. -- club's one of fixtures

in eight days. Don McAllister who

played for Spurs in the mid to late

70s ended his playing career here.

Danny Murphy comes up in the history

of both. This Rochdale had a wing

half by that name in the 1950s.

Ian Henderson is the main man for

Rochdale these days with 14 goals

this season. Five of those in the FA

Cup. Including the one that got them

here. By meeting Millwall in their

fourth-round replay. On the sandy

loam. A remarkable job Rochdale have

done to get this pitch completely

relayed afresh in less than a week.

Mauricio Pochettino was talking a

few moments ago and he said I like

it here, you can smell football.

Josh Lillis in goal, son of Mark

McGhee ex-Huddersfield, Darby and

Man City play. Jim McNulty is the

old head at the back. Camps is a

very highly rated 22-year-old

midfielder and former Northern

Ireland, the U21 international.

Captain Ian Henderson with a goal a

game ratio, five games, five goals.

Partnered by Humphrys, a home debut

for the 20 on from Fulham. --

20-year-old. Michel Vorm will be

behind their back line that includes

Toby Alderweireld for just his

second game since a hamstring injury

at the start of November. Second

appearance back for Harry Weeks

following an ankle injury. First

start for Lucas Moura -- Harry Weeks

stop sign from PSG at the end of

January. Fernando Llorente takes his

turn as the main man in attack for

Spurs. Harry Kane and Dele Alli, for

England, amongst the substitutes.

Keith Hill in his second spell in

charge of Rochdale after a brief

interlude at Barnsley. Real

characters of the lower leagues in

England.

Been madly in charge of this one,

might be a good omen for Spurs, he

was the man in the middle for their

fifth tie last year. -- Bobby

Madley. Ian Henderson has done the

rounds with Luton and Colchester,

started at Norwich City.

Along with the Rochdale team, they

have been enjoying the build-up all

week. Lucas Moura, maybe not the

sort of thing he expected to be

starting a game for Tottenham at.

For his first game. Although Harry

Kane, as we heard in the build-up,

did get his first football league

appearance here for Leyton Orient

aged 17.

Rochdale in blue, Tottenham in

white. It is the last 16 of the

Emirates FA Cup. With the winners

either to go to Swansea City or

Sheffield Wednesday.

We've been enjoying the atmosphere,

let's hope we get a game to enjoy.

Alongside me to talk you through the

action is the former Tottenham

midfielder, Danny Murphy. As the

first free kick of the game goes to

Danny's old team.

Good afternoon

everybody. A great opportunity for

the Rochdale players. Brings back

many memories for me, late teenage

years playing in lower leagues. It

is a chance to test yourself against

top quality players. And show people

how good you are. You raise your

game. You try your best to put in a

performance that people will

remember.

Keith Hill has been giving

out that message all week.

New pitch, not at Tottenham's

behest, but at his own, three league

games in a row postponed here over

the last few weeks. He wants a good

playing surface for his own players

to perform on. It looks as though

they've got a good playing surface.

This pitch has been laid in a week,

having been imported from Slovenia,

the turf.

It has cost an awful lot of money

for a club of Rochdale's budget.

Kieran Trippier flexing his knees as

he prepares to take the throne for

Tottenham Hotspur. -- take the

throw.

Harrison McGahey Hee. Jim McNulty,

33 last Tuesday. One of the

experienced players in Rochdale's

side. By and large it is a young

side. One that likes to play

football... The ball is spread wide.

Done to do his stuff. Turned away by

Foyth. Lucas Moura manages to get

away. From Ryan Delaney. Moura

continues on his merry way. Son

takes it down. Excellent challenge

by McGahey to prevent him from

shooting on goal.

A good start. That

move from Rochdale was tremendous,

they played out from the back.

Confidence in their ability to do so

and almost got a good chance from

it. Tottenham broke away. First

games of Moura running with the

ball. We know he is good at that. --

first glimpse.

Talk about the the

supporters of lower league teams,

getting up for the big games, the

Tottenham supporters are making an

awful lot of noise as well.

They've

got a lot to be happy about at the

moment with their performance

performances, they have been

fantastic. Especially Juventus, what

they have achieved -- their recent

performances. Remarkable considering

the start they had they dominated

the game.

Sissoko.

Trying to turn inside to get himself

a shooting opportunity but it never

materialised.

WHISTLE

A free kick for Rochdale. Mark

Kitching trying to escape the

clutches of Wanyama but he couldn't.

WHISTLE

Kitching did well, good control when

he is running for the ball. Felt

Wanyama coming. Right decision.

Free kick looks as though it will be

taken by 22-year-old Camps.

Might get a helping hand from Joe

Rafferty. WHISTLE

Camps uses Rafferty. He clipped it

forward but it will just run away

from Humphrys.

That wasn't far away

from being a good little move. A bit

of a better pass from Rafferty.

Vorm to Foyth. Sissoko to Trippier.

Foyth was being closed down by

Kitching, but it across to other via

Ralph, who was then closed down very

successfully by Cannon. -- across to

the virulence.

Just over the head of Matt Done.

There was a slight slip from

Harrison McGahey. We saw one earlier

from Alderweireld.

It will do that

on a new surface. It is still a

million times better than what was

here before so you have to put up

with the odd thing like that. No

excuse today for Tottenham players.

Newport, the performance was

lacklustre and the pitch was

definitely a factor in that.

Son

under pressure immediately.

Juan Foyth, his seventh senior

appearance for Spurs. Lucas Moura is

dazzling already on his first start.

He was just impeded.

He is good at

running with the ball and still

being in control that fast speed,

which is difficult. He will add a

different dimension for Tottenham.

It will be a Spurs throw.

Trippier managed to evade Matt Done,

who held onto his arm.

Trippier takes the free kick.

Two weeks on from his blistering

goal at Anfield.

Nice and easy for Josh Lillis to

roll it out to Camps. But he lost

out to Son.

Headed out by McNulty.

Delaney looks tentative.

A challenge from Henderson. Not

enough to take it from Wanyama.

Son combining with Rose. Matt Done

kept it away from Kieran Trippier,

who had advanced.

Interesting tactically. Rochdale

ended up in a five because they are

playing two wingbacks. The three

centre halves against Llorente. The

wingbacks have to get higher

otherwise the Tottenham fullbacks

will have time and space on the

ball.

It is a young Rochdale side. The

ages of the midfield three, they

will not lack for energy and

enthusiasm, even if they do not have

experience.

21 and 22.

Son tried to pick up the pace.

Josh

Lillis was ready for that. He looks

dangerous, Moura.

He has started

excitingly for Spurs.

Son could not collect. McNulty will

be the guards to let that go behind.

Son has seven games without a goal,

after scoring seven in 11 from

December to January.

He is having an

excellent season. He's a great

athlete, he has two feet and he can

finish and he is reliable

defensively. Superfit. He does the

job asked, he is selfless. He has

progressed a lot this season.

He

scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup

last year in the sixth round against

Millwall.

Alderweireld got it away. Humphrys

almost carried it back. Went

clattering in.

They look well organised. They look

like they have a plan. Obviously

worked hard this week, listening to

the manager earlier in the

interview.

Pochettino has done his

homework and recognises Rochdale are

a team that likes to play. Keith

Hill, as we talked about the pitch,

was the reason he wanted it done, he

wants the world to see his team can

play. There is a lot of football to

play with four, five games in hand

on those above them in League 1.

They looked like they have players

in the middle of the pitch who want

to get onto the ball.

Llorente's header went straight to

Camps.

Camps. Camps does not shy away from

receiving the ball in the middle of

the field.

Sissoko managed to get past Matt

Done. Son was forced wide by the

touch and the defending of Harrison

McGahey.

Good move, starting with a

super touch in the middle of the

pitch. Moura again. Sissoko down the

right-hand side. A positive move

from Tottenham.

It will be a Rochdale corner.

Trippier was under real pressure.

Real quality on the ball from

Rafferty. Really good defending.

Matt Done will take the corner.

Lucas Moura, everything he is doing

is being greeted by rapturous

Tottenham Hotspur applause at the

moment. He was once hailed as the

new Neymar, even though he is only

six months younger. And largely lost

his place at PSG due to the arrival

of Neymar.

Good from Kitching. Good running

with the ball and pressing. Really

trying to make an impression on this

game.

He was looking for Humphrys to win

that. Lucas Moura. A hand on from

Delaney, a free kick for Tottenham

Hotspur.

They cannot question his appetite

for any sort of football match.

He

has started really well. Talking

about Neymar, he was not best

pleased he was leaving.

Close to

tears, apparently, losing a fellow

Brazilian and close friend.

Trippier with the Tottenham Hotspur

free kick. Headed towards goal but

it was easy for S. Now what, that

almost went in -- for Josh Lillis.

It is interesting to see that again

because nowadays, that will always

be given as a foul.

Bobby Madley has

explained the decision.

What did they say, ungentlemanly

conduct? Got away with it there.

Only just. A slip from Josh Lillis.

There are some losing their footing

on the newly laid grass.

Delaney finding Kitching, who turned

nicely and beat Wanyama.

Cannon. They are slipping and

sliding. Tottenham have some more

defending to do. Alderweireld does

that.

What a great move. Really good

football from Rochdale. I am

impressed with their confidence.

When you look at their league

position, I am shocked. The way they

are playing at the moment, with a

spring in their step, full of

confidence.

confidence.

It was not a massively

animated reaction from Keith Hill.

Alderweireld just managed to get

that away. Kitching attacked it.

Trippier away. The job not

completed, but it will do now

because it is a free kick for

Tottenham.

The ball is not staying idle for

long. Bobby Madley is going to have

his first words.

It was a bit

naughty, that.

First of all just checking as to the

welfare of the injured party before

dishing out words of advice to

McGahey, who has only been booked

twice this season and not since

September, so for a centre-back,

that is not bad.

Winks did him a

favour. He got up. He shrugged it

off and carried on, which makes a

big difference in a referee's dies

when he judges a tackle like that.

We have seen more than a yellow card

for those, haven't we?

Yes.

Wanyama trying to keep Cannon at

home's length and couldn't.

Henderson.

He had options left and

right. What a chance! Great

pressing, again. I think this time

it was Cannon, winning it back from

Wanyama. He wanted a free kick. He

could have played his mate back in,

he could have given it to Cannon. I

was listening to the lads in the

studio talking about they will not

get many.

They will not get many

better than that.

Three men in the

box. Players in a better position.

But of course, you want the glory.

He is the Rochdale top scorer. He

scored two at Bristol on Tuesday in

a 3-2 defeat, a defeat that left

them in 20 Fourth Place in League 1.

Sissoko and the boot was raised high

by Llorente. It is going to be a

free kick for Rochdale.

I think

Rochdale can be pleased with the

first 20 minutes in this game.

Tottenham need to up the tempo a

little bit. They have shown moments,

but, a bit like Newport, scares

early on, they got some warnings,

and before you know it, they are a

goal down and climbing a mountain.

The header went straight to Camps.

He just got the ball caught beneath

his feet and so did Son.

A free

kick. I think it was on Llorente.

It will have to be taken again. Jim

McNulty is having a word with Ian

Henderson and the referee.

There is a lot of chat going on with

the referee. Sometimes I used to

say, let the game go, stop lecturing

every body. Either get the yellow

card out, or let the game go.

Llorente was not on his toes for

that.

I think it was more of a

lay-off, to be fair. You do not mind

that in the final third. Sometimes

things don't happen and you have to

try.

Rochdale's attacking, pressing play

having a bit of a breather.

You have

to to vary it. You cannot always do

that against any opposition because

it is physically difficult to do it

for long periods. Sometimes having a

breather helps.

Well, it does help.

Looking for Humphrys to win it and

he has. He could not win the second.

He was fouled, Danny Rose.

Alderweireld thought about looking

for Trippier again. Llorente helps

it onto Son. A lot to do from here.

Son can do it. But the shot is

blocked. It would have been a test

for Josh Lillis.

It was clever from

Juan Foyth, the first time he played

a long direct diagonal to Llorente,

who played it well.

who played it well.

More slipping.

Delaney that time lost his putting

in his own penalty area. -- lost his

footing.

I hope for Rochdale's say, the game

is not decided by anybody slipping,

either way.

We have reached the midway point of

the first half. To be honest, and

even game.

It is a very good start

from Rochdale and they can be proud

of what they have done so far. The

only problem is, as we have seen

with teams from lower leagues

playing better players, they wear

them down. They cannot get the

energy in the second half, the

latter period of games when it is

crucial, but we will see how this

develops.

Delaney did well with

that. Even better with the ball

forward. The man in the middle

waiting for the cross. Blocks. Not

in Bobby Madley's view. I am not

sure his view was the best. Another

slip, Callum Camps. Won back by the

very busy Kitching. He went too long

with it, straight into Rose. Danny

Rose forward. Plenty of time for

Josh Lillis.

Son has been a bit

sloppy a couple of times. When you

are running with the ball at pace,

it is difficult to choose the right

pass sometimes. Slow himself down a

little bit.

Alderweireld is stationed in the

right position pretty much every

time the ball comes into the box.

I thought Henderson was going to get

onto that. Kieran Trippier with a

vital defensive header and the flag

is up.

Another super cross from

Rafferty. Again, good defending from

Trippier. They had a man over at the

back, but good quality ball into the

box.

Son in on goal this time, saved by

Josh Lillis. Llorente's turn,

Llorente! He misses.

Llorente! He misses.

It was a good

move. Initially a really good move

from Spurs. Should be one up. Not

the best finish from Son. Nice and

patient.

patient. On Llorente's weaker foot.

He should have done better, Son, and

Llorente. But it was a good move.

Wide of the post. That is the way it

is going for him at the moment.

Only

got two since joining from Swansea

City and one of them at Swansea in

January, and another in December.

Goals create confidence, sharpness.

It is hard to come in one game here,

20 minutes there.

Danny Rose with the Tottenham throw.

Another one for the visitors. They

have gone 13 games unbeaten in all

competitions. The last defeat at

Manchester City in December. The

most recent performance, excellent,

coming from 2-0 down against

Juventus on Tuesday night.

Juventus on Tuesday night. This is

the save from Son.

It was a good

save. We have seen Son early in the

season put them away with ease.

season put them away with ease.

I

was going to say safely back to

Vorm, but it was nowhere near Vorm.

A gift for Rochdale.

It is never

easy coming to these places. Some

Tottenham players are a little bit

off the pace. Some of them have not

had many minutes recently, but they

need to be careful.

Victor Wanyama

is one of those. He has not started

a Premier League games since coming

back from an injury that ruled him

out till January.

Rochdale claimed the corner but they

are not going to get one.

Tottenham, as you might expect,

having more of the ball than

Rochdale.

Rochdale. Not able to do the thing

they need to do with it yet, though.

Out towards Trippier and he will get

there. Nobody managed to get there

in the middle. Lucas Moura has gone

too high.

It was a good move from

Spurs again. Brilliant pass from

Son. This is a good ball, as well.

Dying for someone to come in and tap

it in.

There are signs chances are starting

to come for the Premier League big

guns. Should it go to a replay at

Wembley, I am not sure when they

will get it in. Rochdale with games

in hand and Tottenham with Champions

League to think about.

It would be a

fantastic day for Rochdale for that

to happen.

I have been told, they

will get it in, don't worry.

Keith Hill is one of those who

enjoys life generally.

Enjoying his

afternoon. A bit like you.

Happy-go-lucky.

It is the company

that keeps me so cheerful. Son,

nowhere near Llorente. A little bit

of frustration in the Spurs ranks,

certainly among the supporters in

front of us.

You could argue they

have been spoiled recently.

Matt Done's turn to be frustrated.

He made the run and checked his run.

It was a misunderstanding.

Trippier with the throw.

Lovely clip forward from Camps. A

rash finish from Henderson, the go

to man for Rochdale goals.

That was

a better opportunity. He tried to

take it early, hard technique. Watch

this pass. Camps, brilliant through

ball.

Smashes at it. I think it came

purely off the laces.

He tried to

take it early, he did not let it

drop.

Rafferty's throw.

More confidence on the ball from

Rochdale. That was a little too high

for Matt Done. Everything we have

heard and read about Rochdale, we do

not get the chance to see them

often, they do get the ball down and

play a nice brand of football.

They

have been excellent. A really good

half-hour from them.

Somehow the

bottom of League 1 and 11 points

from safety, albeit with games in

hand.

Foyth was pestered by Henderson.

He managed to advance despite

Henderson.

Son, just enough on that.

Winks drifted away from Kitching and

a touch from Llorente. And good

covering from Delaney.

covering from Delaney. Sissoko will

not get onto that.

Cleared by

McGahey. Good defending and

concentration. Spurs are probing.

McGahey turns another one away.

Another youngster, relatively

speaking, at 22.

speaking, at 22. George Rochdale

from Sheffield United having started

out at Blackpool. -- he joined

Rochdale from Sheffield United.

Matt Done, up and away. Llorente

cannot quite find Son.

Henderson has the ball. It will be a

Spurs throw. A little bit of

unnecessary

unnecessary between them. Lucas

Moura. He gets past Delaney. And

coming across was McGahey to put it

behind.

Great defending again from

McGahey. I think Delaney thought he

had more and put himself into fifth

gear and gone.

And there he went.

He's electric,

isn't he? He's got that ability to

just go up the gears really quickly.

Very difficult to play against. Good

control.

Trippier at the Spurs corner.

Son's gone near. He will go over

him.

Humphrys headed out. WHISTLE

Guilty of holding onto Cannon, Danny

Rose.

Does he feel like he's been here

before, Mauricio Pochettino? Better

than a performance at Newport...

Better chances will

think he will be relying on the fact

that they can't keep playing with

this energy. And closing down the

way they have. He will expect a bit

more.

Llorente. Lucas Moura. Tried

to get it through the legs of

Delaney. Done coming back to help.

Trippier. Son. Trippier.

Headed away, again. That time by

Camps to keep it away from the Spurs

attackers, Lucas Moura most notably.

Great to see that. Creative midfield

player back in there, winning his

headers. Doing his bit for the team.

WHISTLE

It has to be a free kick for

Rochdale. Sissoko almost taking a

ride on the back of Andy Cannon.

How many fouls are in there?

Enough.

Plenty of holding going on here as

well. Llorente being held on to,

this time. WHISTLE

Llorente having words with Sissoko

about presumably being fed rather

better.

Yeah. Don't mind seeing that

at all.

He has had one big chance,

the Spanish striker.

Yeah.

Winks is on the run but Lillis is

always going to be favourite.

From

Rochdale's point of view, it's

imperative that they try and get to

half-time without conceding.

Give them a massive boost, to come

out in the second half level.

WHISTLE

Lucas Moura judged to have been

backing in. Done went right over the

top of him. Some early stretching

for Harry Kane rated a doubt for

this game, he turned his ankle at

Juventus, as well as doing

everything else on Tuesday night.

Decent ball in. Really good ball in.

More good defending from Kieran

Trippier. Three times he's been

there. Great delivery in again.

Camps. Henderson was spinning,

trying to adjust.

APPLAUSE

The quality has been really good.

Crosses into the box. Three times

he's been there, really good

defending from Trippier.

Foyth.

Might not have tried that had the

pitch not been relayed. The bounce

was true enough and it's played true

enough despite a few slips here and

there.

It's been a right. As I said

earlier, in a new pitch you will

always get a few bits that cut up

but they won't be blaming the pitch

after this game, that's for sure.

Foyth.

Outcomes Lillis to head the ball

out. -- out comes Lillis.

Trippier to Lucas Moura. Winks.

Winks almost got through.

Henderson. Lost it to Wanyama. Son.

Son to Llorente and returned. It was

maybe a bit overdone. The moans and

groans of the Spurs fans around us.

Son should have shot. Two great

speed, good strike of the ball, no

need for the extra pass.

Good defending again, though.

Married really nicely. Small

distances between the players. Good

defending

distances between the players. Good

defending.

Foyth. Couldn't go back to Vorm

because of Henderson who does win it

anyway. Humphrys gets passed to

Sissoko. Out comes Danny Rose.

Llorente. Lucas Moura.

Cleverly done by Ryan Delaney.

Helped on by Humphrys but it was the

wrong side of Henderson.

Rose. Helped away nicely by McNulty.

Camps.

That was a poor ball from

Rose.

Henderson.

Camps. Instinctive ball through,

again.

Camps is shining as we were told he

would.

He's great, he sees a pass

and he can open up teams.

Alderweireld should be the cover,

there.

APPLAUSE

They've been really brave. They

pressed, they've played out from the

back.

WHISTLE

Considering where they are sitting

in the league, and their league form

at the moment, it's amazing that

they are sitting where they are when

they play like this. The contrast in

the form in the cup to the league is

remarkable.

Four wins from five FA

Cup games compared to five in 28

football league games.

I knew you'd

have the stats. I teed you up.

Lucas

Moura. And now Danny Rose.

Winks to Lucas Moura.

Trippier.

Son.

McGahey. There was a scream from the

Rochdale defender, he felt he was

fouled by Son but the referee didn't

agree. WHISTLE

Foyth.

Son let it run. Llorente was being

dealt with by McNulty. Wanyama.

Lucas Moura. Son Heung-min. Lucas

Moura. Challenged by Camps.

Brilliant tackle. A tad overdone,

again. Clever football, though, from

Spurs in the box. Great discipline

from the Rochdale defenders in

midfield, to get back in position.

Winks dispossessed by Kitching.

Humphrys to find Cannon to find

Henderson! CHEERING

Ian Henderson has found the net!

Third time lucky.

CHEERING

45th minute, Rochdale one - zero

Tottenham Hotspur. Their captain

with the finish after another

flowing move by the League 1

strugglers.

What a noise!

Well, we talked about

them going in at half-time level.

You could argue they deserve that

goal, they've been absolutely

superb. Winks loses the ball because

the Rochdale's good pressing again.

That's a great pass and he is

onside. I think it's Cannon who

plays the past, isn't it? Wasn't

going to miss that one. He can

forget the other two now, can't he?

He maintains that run. There's

always somebody, every season, who

comes up with this sort of

goal-scoring run. Six goals in six

games in FA Cup for the Rochdale

skipper. This one will mean a whole

lot more than any of the others

right now.

I said earlier they have

got to be careful, Spurs, there were

little moments that Rochdale had and

you thought, come on, they've got to

up their game. That too many of them

have been caught out in their own

half. Too many times. Which is

credit to Rochdale.

Now it is

Newport away all over again.

It is,

they haven't learned their lesson.

WHISTLE

Yes, they have had a couple of

chances themselves but well played,

Rochdale, super half.

What a

half-time score we have for you at

the Crown Oil Arena

. Ian Henderson have the home fans

rocking with the only goal at the

end of the half. Rochdale

STUDIO: Well, well, 63 places

between these two teams in the

league and Henderson just walking

off after missing a couple of

reasonable chances. He put that one

away with aplomb.

They had to come back from Newport

and now they have got to come back

again, Tottenham.

Rochdale have been

magnificent. Magnificent. The

manager before the game, Keith Hill

said they would be aggressive, they

would pass it. They were delighted

the pitch had been done because that

was their style of play. They were

going to work hard and close down.

Carried out every single one of

those things. They've been

magnificent. It would have been

disappointing if it hadn't have --

if they hadn't have been in front

because they created the best

chances.

Little to choose between

the two side, you didn't know which

one was Premier League.

Everything

you could possibly get caught up

with this type of type, Spurs is

getting caught out, not winning

headers, tackles are not being

aggressive and not being clinical at

the top end of the pitch.

All

around, Rochdale defended well,

passed the ball well and eventually

they stuck the ball in the net.

That's been their success, closing

down in midfield, and then when they

are actually winning the ball,

playing some nice, neat football,

using width, playing balls in behind

and creating chances. We said before

the game that if the chances will

fall, they want them to fall to

Henderson, he had two very good

ones. He missed those. He wasn't

going to miss that one. Brilliantly

worked. Out wide. He puts it on a

plate for him. He has just said to

him, go on, there it is, get on the

end of it, keep it low, tuck it

away.

Onside.

It's fantastic play

from Rochdale, they win the ball and

then before you know it, it's in the

back of the net.

Excellent. That

goal for Ian Henderson meant he is

now the joint top scorer in the FA

Cup this season with six goals,

level with Wigan's Will Grigg.

Henderson is on fire now.

Considering the chances he missed,

he took that one really confidently.

He certainly did. There was also a

possibility of a penalty shot. Maybe

three handballs, possibly four. He

fell on them.

What did you think?

Again, leading up to it, we

mentioned the way they were passing.

Bottom of League 1, Rochdale. You

would never have thought that they

were, the way they are passing. That

has come from the centre-half.

Through, one, two touch football.

They have been so good on the eye.

Keith Hill told us that is the way

they like to play football and that

is the way they have taken the game

to Tottenham Hotspur. They have the

goal, they could have had a penalty,

when you rightly say that it comes

across to the right-hand side.

Again, stretching the pitch, making

it big. Getting it out wide, a big

feature of their play. Getting

crosses in. I don't think... I think

the referee gets it right. He slips,

I don't think there's anything you

can a penalty for. I don't forgive

is deliberate.

It's not a penalty.

He falls over.

Toby Alderweireld has

slipped more than everyone this

afternoon, the pitch is a problem

but that is not a penalty, he lands

on his chest.

No harm done.

Not

after the other night.

Not after

last night.

That's for sure.

Overall, they have breast well,

played well and Henderson, you

mentioned he got the chances he had

earlier. -- they have pressed well.

The sign of a good forward is just

keep getting in there. He has belief

that one will fall to him. He had

two excellent chances again.

Pressing, working hard. Putting them

under pressure in the final third.

Making them kick it along. That what

they've done. That's been their

success.

From the start of the game

that is what Keith set out to do.

Spurs have approached the game

right, they allowed Rochdale to get

small victories. The midfield of

Rochdale have been phenomenal.

Wanyama has wanted to fight people

too much instead of being more

elusive. They have been on top of

him, winning balls. A good

opportunity. That's an example.

Wanyama wanted to fight, rather than

keeping the ball moving quickly.

They have been right on of

Tottenham, not allowing them

everything, showing zero respect.

You can see how Henderson scores

goals with his movement.

He gets

into those positions. He's had a bit

of everything about him in that

first half. He's gone short for the

ball, he's gone wrong for the ball.

It just shows you, it's important to

bounce back after a miss.

He gets

into those positions.

The other

threat, Rafferty down the right-hand

side, lots of good crosses.

They are

playing three at the back, Rochdale

and it's caused Spurs problems.

Rafferty has been the wingback

constantly coming down this site.

They have had about 50% of their

play coming down the right-hand

side. -- this side. The options and

quality he puts into the box. Look

at the options. Kieran Trippier has

done so well to defend three or four

of those. Rafferty is a big problem.

Going forward Tottenham have had

their moment and opportunities, not

as many as they would like. Perhaps

the best fell to Llorente

eventually.

I was concerned before

the game, how many players have not

had enough gametime for Tottenham

and their performance suggests that.

A lot of the players have been rusty

including Llorente. As we said, the

ball comes and it comes inside, he

scuffs it, should hit the target. A

good save from the keeper. He is

bright and alert. But it falls fall

to him. He chooses not to hit it he

comes to his left and misses the

target. That has summed up

Tottenham's performance, they have

four or five who are nowhere near

fit.

Lucas Moura, first-time rule

from the start of the game, he is

definitely quick.

That is for sure.

We had a few moments in this studio

where he got us off our feet. He has

a lot to his game. He has been one

of the brightest sparks for Spurs,

breaking into these types of areas.

Some of the passes he has played has

been down to the lack of, I suppose,

playing with each other for a long

period of time.

Nothing wrong with

that one.

Picks out a pass very

well. Speed and ability to go past

people at will. This is not even him

opening up. A couple of incidences

down this right-hand side especially

where he is causing havoc, linked up

really well with Llorente and Son.

Slightly over hit that one. But that

will come with that game practice.

Between him and trivia down this

right-hand side has been the main

threat. A fantastic ball from

Trippier -- him and Trippier. Happy

to go for it and get into the area.

Not the best of finishes but this is

the one that got us off our feet. We

said, what has happened, a blink of

an eye and he is in front of you, in

the box and maybe Llorente should

hold his run a bit longer.

Spurs in

another hole, the big boys are going

to have to come on?

Ten or 15

minutes and if nothing changes

within that time, then he will look

to the bench to bring on the big

guns.

Why not start with them?

We

said that.

Not necessarily

disrespect. But we said before the

game that certainly when you look at

it, when you come away to grounds

like this, you know it will be

difficult.

Staff sometimes with your

best players, get the goals, get up

and take off your best players

instead of doing it the other way

round. It looks like they will have

to come on.

Rochdale have something

really big to hang onto, this could

be one of the biggest cup shocks in

living memory.

Newport had the exact

same thing, they had something to

hold onto and they almost did the

wrong thing, they stopped doing what

got them there and they started to

drop off and got deeper. That is how

Spurs got back into the game. They

need to be brave in the second half

and the same pressure on Spurs, I am

not saying get the second but don't

drop too deep.

Final match of the FA

Cup fifth round tomorrow live for

you as League 1 Wigan Athletic take

on Manchester City. A replay of the

2013 cup final when Wigan upset the

odds.

It was a boyhood dream. When you're

growing up, playing with your

friends in the park.

You dream about

being a footballer.

friends in the park.

You dream about

being a footballer.

You always dream

about playing at Wembley.

You dream

about playing an FA Cup final.

It

was an honour to lead the team out.

It was a great day. Obviously,

disappointing not to be in the

starting XI.

We went into the cup

final quietly confident.

We believed

we could win the game.

The first

five or ten minutes they took the

game to us but as the game went on,

we got more control of the game.

A chance to take it first-time but

he puts it wide! Had he hit that one

first time, he might have given

Wigan the lead.

That player got sent

off late on.

Second yellow card.

Inevitable red card.

As soon as they

went down to ten men we had a

feeling it was going to be our day.

A great story for Ben who had just

come back from a serious injury.

Come

come back from a serious injury.

Come off the bench and I remember

the corner coming in.

Headed in!

He has won the FA Cup final for

Wigan Athletic! What a day. This is

the sort of moment that makes your

hairs stand up.

To score the winning

goal that was something special and

probably something you can't really

explain. Lucky enough that it

happened to me.

That's the stuff of

fairy tale.

Wigan, unbelievably,

have won the 2013 FA Cup final.

Wonderful piece of history that Ben

Watson has provided, not just for

Wigan but for football.

As a boy,

growing up and you see the captain

's leading their teams are, you

always dream one day it could

possibly be you. And then you get

the chance to lift the cup. It was

an amazing feeling.

You can't forget

that day. Everywhere you go in Wigan

there were pictures, everyone was

talking about it.

To go into that

cup final with no one giving us a

chance, and we proved people wrong

was a great achievement.

Little

Wigan, how far we've come from the

non-leagues to, you know, winning an

FA Cup.

Not many people have a

medal. I am more than proud to be

able to show mine off.

There's not a

day go by that someone isn't

reminding you about it. It's a day

you can't forget.

My kids talk about

it quite a lot. It still memories

that I am still reliving to this

day. -- it is still memories.

Coverage of that match from 7:30pm.

We will have the winning manager

that stay with us, Roberto Martinez.

Don't forget, this is the last day

you can register your team for the

people's cup. The details are on the

website.

Another view on this match. We are

pitch side with the Rochdale

Chairman.

I have Chris Dunphy with me as the

big guns from Tottenham are

training, warming up. They could be

calling on the likes of Harry Kane

and Dele Alli. Chris, what a first

from your team.

Brilliant. A great

display of what we can do. What we

have lost all of the talk was about

the pitch before. We can see now why

we wanted a pitched just as much as

Tottenham. We have been playing some

great football.

We talked about the

calibre of players that are training

and warming up for the second half

for Tottenham potentially. I think

you are thinking fingers crossed

they stay on the bench?

Well, bring

them on! Bring them on! We're doing

OK as it is at the moment. I like

the way we are playing. I just hope

we can keep it up for the full 90

minutes.

The irony is, with the

pitch the way it is, what a

transformation since the last cup

tie against Millwall, the goal of

that calibre and the way Watchdog

executed it possibly wouldn't have

been possible with that picture on

before -- the way that Rochdale

executed it.

No it wouldn't.

-- that

pitch before. Has that first 45

worked perfectly?

You would have to

ask the manager. I am a spectator

like anybody else on match day. I

thought we gave a good account. Our

midfield did extremely well. We look

forward, we are taking the game to

Tottenham. That is what I wanted to

see. We will always look suspect at

the back but we're up against

quality forwards. But I am happy.

How are you bottom of League 1

playing like that?

People ask us

that every week. Usually because the

opposition scores more goals! We

have got a lot of games in hand, I

am hoping we will rectify that.

Fingers crossed. On your behalf it

should be a terrific second half.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Let's hope we get a game to enjoy as

well.

That almost went in but the whistle

had gone.

Here's Henderson. Henderson shot

straight at Vorm. Son saved by

Lillis, now it is Llorente's turn!

Llorente misses. Henderson!

Henderson has found the net!

STUDIO: Last time Rochdale beat a

team from the top flight in the FA

Cup was 1971. Getting on for 50

years ago. That was commentary. Can

they do the same against Tottenham?

Lucas Moura seems to be leading for

something good to happen in the

second of -- that was commentary. No

sign Rochdale coming out, maybe they

want to stay there and stick at 1-0.

The manager will be saying more of

the same, keep up the aggression,

keep on passing it the way you work

and closing down. Do everything you

did in that first half. They will be

under pressure, I have no doubt,

from Tottenham's point of view, they

have got to move the ball a little

bit quicker.

Forward quicker.

Pochettino before the match said how

happy he was about 33 times about

the pitch. Probably less happy now.

He's got to do something.

His team

need to do something, they need to

step it up a notch, get themselves

back into this game. Give it ten

minutes and he will look to make

some changes and bring on the big

guns.

We talked about the mental

aspect for Rochdale, there is the

Chairman with the manager. I thought

it was John Watson but it certainly

didn't sound like him.

This is potentially a mass

giant-killing.

It is. The difficult

part is remaining positive.

--

massive giant-killing.

At the start

of the programme, we said the

messages, give them the confidence

and positivity, play on the front

foot. They will concede eventually.

They have something to hold onto. It

will give them so much positivity.

They have got to remain positive.

Here they go. Henderson walking out.

Potential matchwinner, potential

hero for Rochdale. They are marching

out onto the pitch for the 45

minutes of their life. Time for the

second half in the company of Danny

Murphy and Guy Mowbray. COMMENTATOR:

Thank you, Gary. Mentioned that

famous win over Coventry, they have

since lost all six FA Cup ties

against top sides. There was a

problem with the pitch this time,

but last time there was a problem

with the floodlights. It took place

on Monday afternoon, quite a few

people took the day off work and

school to get here. David Cross

scored for Rochdale. FA Cup back

story, he went on to win the cup

with West Ham in 1980.

No changes for either side for the

start of the second half. But

something 's got to change for

Tottenham Hotspur?

Yes.

It looks like Lucas Moura has come

over to this left-hand side for now.

Son up top. Sissoko on the right

over to this left-hand side for now.

Son up top. Sissoko on the right.

Could be a 4-4- two. That makes

sense to me.

Didn't get enough head on the ball.

Henderson found Cannon. Foyth timed

his intervention and it's behind for

a Rochdale goalkick.

The reason he

has done that is because the

Rochdale defence for long periods

were looking comfortable. An extra

body in the box is going to give

them a different problem, especially

when those crosses come in. With

Moura's pace on this side, testing

Rafferty...

Lillis gets the ball up and away.

Winks.

Might become ball for the goal that

we have seen so far. Robert of

possession in midfield. -- he was

robbed of possession.

Yeah, he had

his head in his hands. Sometimes

that happens. If you are a

midfielder who wants to get on the

ball, make things happen, get it off

the back four, take some

responsibility, you will get caught

occasionally.

WHISTLE

You have to learn from it.

It's not really the type of pitch

you want to be running with the

ball.

ball.

McGahey with the throw.

Rafferty.

Foyth under pressure from Humphrys.

The ball has rolled behind for what

Humphrys thinks is a corner. The

assistant showing the referee, he

agrees with him.

For play from Foyth. He has looked a

bit tentative at times today. Too

many touches on the ball, sometimes.

Joe Rafferty's corner. Kitching came

flying through to try to meet it.

Matt Done went for the percentage

option but he got too much boot to

ball.

Yes, he overdid that.

That will be a free kick.

I think Tottenham have to mix up the

game better. The keeper has to make

better decisions. Passing it to a

centre-half, encouraging them to

come and press. There are times to

plague and times to hit one of the

best headers in the Premier League.

Mix it up. Son has been dispossessed

by Callum Camps. Josh Lillis said to

McGahey, that is mine.

The flag is up against Humphrys.

Rose was caught by Humphrys.

Advantage indicated by the referee.

It has not gone anywhere for Spurs.

Henderson offside.

When you are trying to play long

passes, you have to plant your left

leg. Once you are slipped, you know

that is harder to do. You have to

adapt a little bit. Wanyama slipping

out trying to play a 60 yards

diagonal. You do not need to.

30 years since Spurs lost in the FA

Cup to aid team from the third tier

or lower, January 1988, against Port

Vale.

I think I was at that game. I

think. My uncle played for Port

Vale.

It is an education.

Was Ray

Walker the captain?

Absolutely.

That was a little casual from

Alderweireld.

Winks holding on to Henderson. No

free kick for Rochdale.

Llorente let it go. In the right

position and reading it nicely was

Ryan Delaney.

Calm defending again.

Their decision-making at the back

has been good.

has been good.

22-year-old Harrison

McGahey. Delaney. They have a good
