Hey there, guy. Hi, girlfriend. The Magic of the Cup is back and Tottenham Hotspur are on the road to experience it. Spurs are in the south of Wales to take on League 2 Newport County in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, the oldest association football cup competition in the world.
We got: a tiny stadium! A rugby pitch! Welsh people! And a team I know nothing about but which is currently 72 points and three divisions below Tottenham!
LET’S DO THIS.
