BARNET ARE THROUGH TO THE FOURTH ROUND.

FULL-TIMEBristol Rovers 0-0 Fulham
It's penalties at the Memorial. Nervous?

2213:RED CARD
Dejan Stefanoic is sent off after a second yellow for a late tackle.

2211: Derby's Rob Earnshaw misses with a turn and shot after coming on as a substitute.

2208: "I think Saj has gone for a cuppa tea. Love him, I bet all he wants to do now is go home."
aleeg81 on 606

I'm very much still here. Waiting for an inevitable three-way penalty fest. Also slightly stunned by the death of Heath Ledger.

2200: Former County Ground favourite Giuliano Grazioli makes an apperance as substitute for Barnet.

2156:FULL-TIMETottenham 5-1 Arsenal (agg: 6-2)
Spurs are on their way to Wembley. What a win for Juande Ramos' side. That was a proper rout. Will Arsene Wenger stick with his kids in future Carling Cup competitions? Probably.

2155: GOAL Tottenham 5-1 Arsenal
Great work from Jermaine Jenas down the right. He squares the ball to Steed Malbranque who slots in from five yards at the far post.

2153: Open start to extra-time at Barnet, if anything the hosts have created the better chances. It has got penalties written all over it.

2151: Spurs' Jermain Defoe misses an easy chance from 10 yards after being played in by Jermaine Jenas.

2147: The extra 30 minutes begin in all three FA Cup matches.

2146: "Saj, do you get paid overtime for the three games going into extra time?"
RedDevil 16 (@Ronaldo@ �No Price) on 606

No.

2144: Arsenal team-mates William Gallas and Nicklas Bentdner exchange heated words. Boys! Boys!

2141: EXTRA-TIMEBarnet 1-1 Swindon
Barnet are a man down. Will they feel the effects? Can Billy Paynter score again... for his own side? Am I still going to be typing at 2220 GMT?

2140: EXTRA-TIMESheff Wed 1-1 Derby
Derby's Kenny Miller should have put the Rams into the next round late in the game.

2139: EXTRA-TIMEBristol Rovers 0-0 Fulham
Rovers looked strong at the end of normal time. Who will be stronger in the next 30 minutes?

2138: Swindon continue to press as Jon-Paul McGovern's effort is well saved by Rob Beckwith. Extra-time is looming at Underhill.

2137: Kenny Miller heads over for Derby. He should have won it for the Rams.

2136: Spurs' Aaron Lennon is coming off for the more defensive minded midfielder Tom Huddlestone.

2132: Wednesday's Deon Burton fires over from 12 yards following a rare second-half attack.

2132: GOAL Tottenham 4-1 Arsenal
Emmanuel Adebayor scores a cracker. Eduardo da Silva finds the Togo player on the edge of the area and smacks in a beauty from 19 yards and into the roof of the net.

2131: Swindon now taking full advantage against the 10 men and are all over Barnet. Substitute Barry Corr goes close with a rasping shot.

2129: "Wow what's going on with Arsenal? Tottenham have only had four shots on target and have four goals. Just a shame this isn't a league match."
Joe from Surrey via text on 81111

2126: "How long ago was it since Arsenal were beaten this bad, Saj?"
RedDevil 16 (@Ronaldo@ �No Price) on 606

A while ago. Off the top of my head, I'll say the 6-1 loss to Man Utd - 25th Feb 2001.

2122: GOAL Tottenham 4-0 Arsenal
It's a rout and an embarrassing one for Gunners fans. Aaron Lennon is fed in by Robbie Keane and the diminutive midfielder calmly fires his shot past Lukas Fabianski for eight yards.

2120: RED CARD
Barnet's Michael Leary is sent off for violent conduct. Leary is punished after a nasty challenge on Sofiene Zaaboub who is subsequently stretchered off.

2118: "Why don't any of the Arsenal supporting texts appear on your web site. Try being a little more neutral! Bias rubbish!
Matt in Croydon, sixth text, via text on 81111

2116: There's been a minor fracas between some of the players at Hillsborough. It all looks much ado about nothing, as Shakespeare once said.

2114: Barnet looking lively in the second half, Lee Peacock heading clear as the hosts apply the pressure down the famous Underhill slope.

2112: It's all happening down at the Lane. Nicklas Bentner comes close to pulling a goal back for Arsenal, after his acrobatic overhead rebounds off the crossbar. At the other end Lukas Fabianski saves down low to stop Steed Malbranque's shot.

2110: GOAL Tottenham 3-0 Arsenal
I think it's all over for Arsenal. Robbie Keane scores after he is fed in from midfield and with the outside of his foot fires his shot past Lukas Fabianski, who gets a hand to the ball.

2107: Earlier, I wrote that Billy Paynter had scored at both ends. He has, of course, scored twice at the same end. But you guys really did know what I had meant. Clever clogs.

2106: Arsenal kick off the second half. They need to score twice.

2105: Fulham's David Healy chests the ball at the edge of the box and volleys his looping effort towards goal. But his shot pushed to safety by Steve Phillips.

PLAYER RATER
Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal
HIGH - J Jenas 7.89 (Tottenham)
LOW - J Hoyte 4.93 (Arsenal)

2058: GOAL Barnet 1-1 Swindon
From hero to zero for Swindon's Billy Paynter, who has now scored at both ends.

2057: Miguel Comminges manages to clear the Swindon goal line as Barnet search for the equaliser immediately after the break, Akarung failing to force the ball home from close range. A real let off for the Robins.

2056: "The Brasilian Spurs supporters are happy with what they are reading whilst drinking Capetas on the beach."
Anon via text on 81111

Thanks, no really, thanks from a damp west London.

2053: All the FA Cup games have restarted.

2051:GOAL Sheff Wed 1-1 Derby
Kenny Miller equalises for the Premier League strugglers. The sprightly Scot fires into the bottom right from the edge of the area.

2050: Tottenham's Jermaine Jenas cuts in from the left but hits the side-netting from 12 yards. The referee blows for half-time at White Hart Lane.

2049: They've kicked off at Hillsborough.

2046: "Saj, keep up the good work its having the desired effect down the Lane."
Cav via text on 81111

Cav, now that's a familiar name, I just want to see good entertainment. It will be a fascinating second half.

2044: "Oh well if we don't manage to turn this round losing at White Hart Lane is hardly the end of the world. Sooner or later Spurs have to beat us and rather in the CC than in the Premiership!"
rockin_van_persie on 606

Did I read correctly? "Losing at White Hart Lane is hardly the end of the world"?!!!

2039: Elsewhere on the website, we have also got live commentary on the Africa Cup of Nations game between Sudan and Zambia. Alistair Magowan is the man at the helm there.

PLAYER RATER
Sheff Wed 1-0 Derby
HIGH - S Watson 7.83 (Sheff Wed)
LOW - Claude Davis 3.80 (Derby)

2034: It's half-time in the three FA Cup ties.

2032: Dimitar Berbatov comes close to putting Spurs 3-0 up on the night. But he hits the bottom post after finding himself one-on-one with Lukas Fabianski.

2029: GOAL Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal
Nicklas Bendtner heads in an own goal from Jermaine Jenas' free-kick after coming under pressure from Michael Dawson. Unlucky

2029: Bristol Rovers' David Pipe sidefoots an effort from just outside the six-yard box but Tony Warner dives to push the shot away.

2027: GOAL Barnet 0-1 Swindon
Goal for Swindon as Billy Paynter finds himself free on the left-hand side of the box before drilling a powerful shot through the keepers legs to give Maurice Malpas' side the lead. Half-time just a couple of minutes away at Underhill

2026: Barnet pushing for the opener in north London, Cliff Akurang heads over from a couple of yards. He really should have given the hosts the lead.

2025: "Great to see Jimmy Bullard back, good on him."
Anon via text on 81111

It certainly is. He'll probably have to put the fishing on hold now.

2023: Tottenham's Steed Malbranque is booked for a late tackle on Bacary Sagna.

2021: Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas comes on for Denilson who picked up an injury earlier on. The Spaniard comes on to huge cheers...I mean jeers.

2020: Barnet striker Adam Birchall attempts a long-range effort that clears Peter Brezovan's crossbar by just a few inches.

2019: Jermaine Johnson cutting in from right wing hits shot that deflects behind for a corner.

2018: It's been quite quiet at Bristol Rovers. Not the best pitch. Rain and rugby are a bad combo.

2017: Derby's Kenny Miller hits high and wide from 20 yards.

2016: "There is another sheriff in London. And his name is Juande Ramos."
redandblackT(1899 was a vintage year) on 606

Would be great to see him stroll up in sheriff gear - Sergio Leone style.

2013: Jermaine Johnson cutting in from right wing drives just wide for Wednesday. The Rams don't look too clever.

2014: "Got a tenner on Keane to score first at 6-1. Will be getting pretty drunk if he does or walking home if he doesnt. Come on Robbie."
Matt, Brighton via text on 81111

Bad luck Matt. Hope it isn't raining down there.

2010: Bristol Rovers' defensive rock Steve Elliott is forced off on a stretcher and is replaced by Craig Disley. Elliott had made a vital challenge on Clint Dempsey but will take no further part.

2009: Wednesday's Wade Small's at it again. His shot from just inside the box goes narrowly wide.

2006:GOAL Tottenham 1-0 Arsenal
Jermaine Jenas scores for the home side. The midfielder plays a clever one-two before moving to the edge of the area and firing a low crossshot from the right into the Arsenal corner.

2005: Wade Small has blazed over for Wednesday from 10 yards. It was a proper blaze.

2004: Lively start to the encounter at Underhill with both keepers called into action.

2003: They've kicked off at White Hart Lane. Massive game.

2002: "Doesn't matter who goes through coz its Chelsea's cup again this season. Lol.
Luv kerry x via text on 81111

I liked the "luv" bit. Nice touch.

1959: Spurs appeared to have a host of mascots, but Arsenal only had one. One for Poirot.

1958: Fulham's Jimmy Bullard (welcome back again) cracks an effort from 25 yards that fizzes inches wide of the post. Decent chance - the first of the match.

1955: GOAL Sheff Wed 1-0 Derby Former Newcastle United player Steve Watson slides in and fires a shot past keeper Lewis Price and into the bottom corner.

1952: First big chance of the night. Derby's Kenny Miller shoots from a tight angle but Lee Grant's pushes his shot round the post.

1952: The Bristol Rovers fans are singing "Premiership you're having a laugh" at the Memorial.

It's now called the Premier League.

1949: "I'm here at work in my chef whites with a special shirt underneath. Even though I'm absolutly baking with an extra layer I don't mind, as long as the nine-year tradition doesn't carry on past tonight!"
Jez via text on 81111

Good effort Jez. I'll have a chicken kiev.

1946: All the FA Cup replays are underway. Good luck to all the teams.

1946: "Tottenham 10 - 7 Arsenal. Put money on it."
j_jamesdaniels on 606

I might not.

1941: "Saj, who's your shout for the Carling Cup this season? Who's everyone's shout!"
dirk-kuyt18 on 606

One of the two teams playing tonight. There, I've said.

1938: "Hoodoo is a form of predominantly African American traditional folk magic. Something Spurs will need tonight!"
Gupster via text on 81111

I can rest easy now. Cheers dears.

1936:TEAM NEWS
Fulham's Jimmy Bullard makes his first start for since suffering a dislocated kneecap at Newcastle back in September 2006. He is one of six changes from the side that lost to Arsenal on Saturday, with goalkeeper Tony Warner, defenders Chris Baird and Paul Konchesky, midfielder Wayne Brown and striker David Healy also coming in.
Bristol Rovers striker Richard Walker is left on the bench with Andy Williams and Rickie Lambert preferred up front, while Stuart Campbell comes in for Sammy Igoe in midfield.

1934: "Looks like Arsenal really want to win. This is close to there first team. Wenger must realise this is his only hope of a trophy this season."
MLS Football Sucks on 606

I reckon they're still in with a shout for the Premier League and FA Cup. Even the Champions League.

1931: "Remember Spurs broke a long hoodoo against Chelsea in a league cup semi, winning 5-1."
Ben, London via text on 81111

Out of interest, where did the word 'hoodoo' come from?

1929:TEAM NEWS
Sheffield Wednesday welcome back Steve Watson, and Akpo Sodje continues despite an ankle injury. Derby's Claude Davis, Dean Leacock and Stephen Pearson all return.

1926: "Ah Mr Chowdhury, I see you have latched on to Miss Cheese's wonderful creativity of the word Cupsets! Nice work. Arsenal to win in extra time."
Sunil, Bedford via text on 81111

Both myself and Cheese have to give credit to our colleague Dan Warren for the word "Cupset". He's a genius.

1922: "I would love to see a team outside the top four raise a cup."
Alec McJockstrap on 606

Interesting view, although you do have a more interesting name.

1919: TEAM NEWS:
Tottenham's Ledley King, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque return to the Spurs starting line-up along with Teemu Tainio. Robbie Keane gets the nod to start in attack he replaces Jermain Defoe, who returns to the bench.

Arsenal include William Gallas, Alexander Hleb and Bacary Sagna as the trio add experience to the youthful side the Gunners usually play in the Carling Cup. Arsenal also have Emmanuel Adebayor, Cesc Fabregas, Mathieu Flamini and Eduardo da Silva make up a strong bench.

1917: BBC Radio 5 Live say the pitch at Hillsborough is surprisingly good considering the heavy rain they've been having in that region. Take your wellies anyway.

1910: "Arsenal cannot claim this is their reserve team, the squad contains only two reserve players."
robbiekeaneisagod on 606

1902: Right, I better explain the Carling Cup rules for tonight. If the scores end 1-1 on aggregate (0-0 on the night) then the teams will play 30 minutes of extra time before away goals come into play - Spurs would win.

The only way the match will end on penalties is if the aggregate score after 90 minutes and extra time is 2-2 (1-1 on the night).

1900: Spurs haven't beaten Arsenal in nine years. Will it happen in the second leg of their Carling Cup semi-final?

Fulham have a had a lousy season up to now, but is it going to get decidedly worse at Bristol Rovers in their FA Cup third-round replay?

In the other replays, we could see Cupsets at Hillsborough, where Championship Sheffield Wednesday host Premier League basement side Derby and at Underhill where League Two Barnet entertain (or at least try to) League One Swindon.

All to play for.
