WE DON'T FEAR ANGE-BALL, BE CONCERNED ABOUT US!

AFTER having steered Tamworth to back-to-back promotions, magic the continues for popular boss Andy Peaks this afternoon when Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur roll into town for a dream FA Cup third round tie in front of the TV cameras and the watching world.

We caught up with the Lambs boss ahead of the crunch clash with Ange Postecoglu's men and discussed the buzz of the dressing room, his approach to facing Ange Ball' and how a group of £500m worth of footballers will feel about visiting the modest surroundings at The Lamb.

Q: Has preparation been any different this week to your usual schedule?

A: To be honest, we haven't really had much prep because we haven't had any time. Tuesday we didn't train because we had to play at Sutton. It meant the lads got minutes, which is a good thing, but there's been no prep for Tottenham as such.

We know quite a lot about them, more than most clubs in our league because we watch them on the TV. We know the way they play and how good they are at it, so we'll train tonight [Thursday] based on that.

Q: How are your players looking forward to the occasion?

A: When you draw a team like Tottenham, you've got to look forward to it. Yes, there's a bit of apprehension because they could absolutely steamroll you, I know that, and I don't want it to be embarrassing for me, the players or anyone at the club, but football's football, isn't it?

There's a real buzz around the dressing room but I'm sure there will be some nerves as well - I just don't want it to pass them by. These opportunities don't come along very often.

They've earned the right to play in front of 4,000 people against one of the best teams in the country so don't let it pass you by. Be nervous, of course, but when you get out there, go and play.

Q: What have you thought Tottenham's recent form, in particular the 1-0 Carabao Cup semi-final win over Liverpool on Wednesday?
