I'm just going to focus this on the game tomorrow and not derail this thread! Basically its going to be Tottenham B though as we have a match against Chelsea on Tuesday. I think that Kane won't make the trip at all and maybe Alli is on the bench in case they need the firepower. Aside from that, some of the young guys make an appearance and likely Gazza##### in goal should be enough to handle the Rovers.
Truthfully though, it's these games that make the FA Cup enjoyable. I think it's pretty awesome to have the big clubs play in the smaller stadiums, despite the likely outcome. It's got to be pretty amazing for a young kid to go to the local pitch and see the big names.

I love the BBC live text commentary
Halfway through the first half, still 0-0.

League Two pitches aren't the battlegrounds they used to be but the Prenton Park surface is definitely a touch more bobbly than Spurs are used to. Spurs do win a corner early on here though.

I just love the British commentators in general. “I don’t want to be unkind, but it looks like the Tranmere captain is on the same diet as me!”

Rovers 0-1 Spurs at the half.
40th minute scorcher into the top corner by Aurier.

Spurs are up 6-0 and bring on Harry Kane.
That's just mean.

I really don’t know why they put Kane out there. At least no one was injured, because that would have been a brutal result to that decision.

It would probably be cheaper to fly to Liverpool and watch Tranmere.

I figured I would take you to a game and for a change we could support the same team!

Love that this thread is still going even it took a shellacking by Spurs to resurrect it.
Tranmere actually are the form team in the entire English football league right now. They are currently 5th in league 2, sitting in a playoff place.
Still love this team....
Hope you’re all doing well. (Locke, Girly and all!)
