HARRY HAPPY WITH WEMBLEY VISIT

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has said that he is extremely delighted with the prospect of being able to play at the new Wembley once again in his managerial career. Tottenham managed to enter into the semifinals of the FA Cup after convincingly beating Bolton Wanderers 3-1 in the quarter-final stage at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night. Redknapp will be taking charge of his third FA Cup date at Wembley in just five years when his side face Chelsea in April. Redknapp has won the competition with Portsmouth before taking Tottenham to the semifinals back in 2010.

Louis Saha, Gareth Bale, and Ryan Nelsen scored the goals for Tottenham in a very emotional night for Bolton Wanderers. Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch during the original match between the two clubs, which was abandoned. Bolton managed to grab a consolation goal through Kevin Davies late in the match. This is the first victory Tottenham have achieved since the 3-1 win over Stevenage almost a month ago. The other semi-final will see Liverpool take on Everton at Wembley. Redknapp spoke in delight about the two matches, which promised to be extremely exciting due to the history between the four clubs.

“I am looking forward to it, it will be a great weekend. I wouldn’t like to pick a winner from either tie, Liverpool and Everton are both capable of winning the Cup. It is an even game, you couldn’t pick a winner between us and Chelsea. Chelsea have beaten Benfica in the Champions League tonight (the Blues won 1-0 in Tuesday’s quarter-final first leg in Lisbon), which was a fantastic result, so it is wide open,” Harry Redknapp said after the 3-1 win over Bolton. This win will also be extremely crucial in their efforts to ward off any challenge from Chelsea for the top four position.
