The big surprise coming out of Sunday’s play in the fifth round of the FA Cup was Stevenage holding the line against Tottenham. The Boro and Spurs tied nil-nil.

Stevenage had their chances and so did Tottenham but neither side could push the rock across the goal line.

Spurs did score a goal in the 56^th minute. Saha found the back of the net but mate Parker was offside.

This was a good call.

Stevenage played tough “D” against Spurs. The Boro clogged the middle and forced Saha and company to fight through four or five defenders. Tottenham was never allowed to get their free following attack going and this gave Stevenage the tie.

Stevenage and Tottenham will have a replay at Spurs house.

Former Spurs keeper Chris Day who is now the keeper of the “D” for Boro said this ”We did lots of homework this week and worked really heard. The game got stretched at the end and we were on the front foot. We’ve had a tough game in the week at Sheffield Wednesday – and have got two clean sheets.”

Day added this- ”It’s a tight pitch here, quite dry today and bobbly – and it was windy.

”They had great possession but we banked up and anything they slung in the two centre-halves gobbled up.

”But we had some chances as well. We’ll be a long shot in the replay but this will be first time I’ll go there this season and not pay to get in. We’ll enjoy the occasion.”
