As Wycombe prepare for the visit of Spurs on Monday night, what does a Tottenham fan think of it all?
Ryan Curtis, a contributor from the blog Spurs for Life, has revealed what he thinks could happen on Monday evening.
He said: “The best bit about the FA Cup, even as a Spurs fan, is playing lower league opposition at their ground packed to the rafters and seeing how the stars cut it out of their comfort zone.
It’s such a shame there won’t be fans as I’m sure Adams Parks would have been bouncing with the Wycombe faithful as well as plenty who have a second team of Spurs… or Arsenal!
“From a footballing perspective, I’m sure Jose Mourinho will be happy to have no fans in the ground and the tie comes down more to footballing ability.
“Both teams you’d assume will have distractions with Wycombe fighting to protect their hard-fought Championship status and Spurs battling on all fronts but Spurs will name a strong team, Jose always does in the cups.

“That said Spurs have a huge game with Liverpool coming on Thursday so it may be that the likes of Kane, Son, and Ndombele are kept on the bench and the likes of Lucas Moura and Vincius come in.
“The outside impression of Wycombe is Akinfenwa and maybe Gareth Ainsworth but as someone who has followed them a little more than the average Soccer AM viewer you know, they are a lot more than that.
“As a Spurs fan, you can look past the league form and just know if any of the Spurs players are already looking forward to Liverpool on Thursday they could easily come unstuck against a team who works as hard as you, especially as a team that has conceded a lot from crosses.

“But, I’m sure I know that without the fans there, the opportunity for a big away day, whether in a replay or the next round, Wycombe would happily take a 6-0 battering if it meant they could grab a couple of wins in their next three in the league!
“So, let us through in the cup and stay up on the final game of the season sending Millwall down, OK?”
