So if we're going to go all the way to Wembley it looks like we're going to have to do it the hard way!
That said, we've won our last three games at White Hart Lane and the last time we met them in a cup competition was in April 1995 when we gubbed them 4-1 to reach the FA Cup Final.
No doubt there will be more omens and portents before the game is played!
The game will be played in the week commencing October 26th and, if last week's strange Manchester double header, whereby United and City both played at home on the same night, is to be repeated we could find ourselves travelling down with the loveables as they've been drawn away at Arsenal.
Oh we'll party like it's 1986....
