  • Ange Postecoglou is a huge fan of the FA Cup and its potential for shocks but will hope his Tottenham Hotspur side can avoid becoming the fall guys in what would be the biggest story of the third round when they travel to fifth-tier Tamworth on Sunday.

The FA Cup remains a prestigious competition, according to Tottenham Hotspur's manager Ange Postecoglou, who emphasized its significance despite the changes in football's landscape. In an interview with Reuters, Postecoglou highlighted the competition's rich history and its ability to capture the imagination of fans, players, and managers alike. He noted that while the format and scheduling might have evolved, the FA Cup's allure as a knockout tournament where any team can win on their day continues to make it special. This sentiment was echoed ahead of Tottenham's third-round match against Burnley, where Postecoglou expressed his desire to progress in the competition, underscoring its importance in the club's season objectives.
