with harry rednakp leading Portsmouth to beat Man u in the last year FA cup final.. i think he could take tottenham pretty far this year.. keep in mind they never finished shopping last year..so i think the wallet is open and we shall see a new hotspurs this year...i dont know what the odds are for totenham i know they will win this one but i prefer to bet live in play so the odds go up so im expecting no goal for 35-45 min...i leave that up to you..and i dont see more than 2 goals in this game..

verdict .. tottenham hot spurs to win.

Redknapp has said he could do without the FA Cup right now. They are more interested in the Carling Cup and the UEFA Cup, not to mention their horrible league position. Who knows what type of side will be put out tomorrow.

Wigan will miss their strikeforce of Zaki and Heskey along with Cattermole and goalie Kirkland.

btw - That run last year by Portsmouth was more luck then anything else. They were a mediocre side who caught a lot of breaks. Not to mention the fact they squeaked by a non premier side in the final.

classic no bet for me here... HPark1 summed up the reason both clubs may not win with the motivation/injuries. I think (I could be wrong) that I read Camara wants to transfer because he is not a starter so if he does start tommorrow he might try and gain a spot or a decent transfer. I imagine Wigan doesn't honestly have UEFA Cup hopes, but they may be able to go for a FA Cup win (or close to it) (I could be talking about the wrong guy and plan on figuring out the game tomorrow - so sorry if i am wrong)

For me seems like a low scoring game under 2.5 at -124 might be my play.

But as i said, no bet is my main lean and will figure out tomorrow.

GL - on the tottenham - i think starting lineups will be crucial.

from tottenham's site:
Harry Redknapp makes three changes to the starting XI at West Brom for this FA Cup 3rd round tie. Gareth Bale returns in place of the suspended Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Jamie O'Hara comes into midfield for Jermaine Jenas and Aaron Lennon is on the bench as Harry switches to a 4-4-2 formation and Roman Pavlyuchenko up front with Darren Bent. Team: Gomes, Corluka, Bale, Dawson, Woodgate, Bentley, Zokora, O'Hara, Modric, Bent, Pavlyuchenko. Subs: Alnwick, Lennon, Ghaly, Gunter, Campbell, Taarabt, Boateng

--damn that's a lot better than i thought....makes me think tottenham home win has value. Still waiting for wigan's lineup but leaning tottenham more than the under now. (too late for the under bet though)
