Redknapp looks on bright side of draw

You wouldn’t bet against Tottenham going on to lift the FA Cup in May, especially as a home draw with Bolton Wanderers awaits them in the quarter-finals.

Should they dispose of Stevenage in a replay next week of course, as the League One side kept a clean sheet for a fifth successive tie and deservedly so.

But Tottenham hadn’t exactly looked Champions League material in the previous round, a single-goal scraping past of Watford, and Harry Redknapp knows from his time at Portsmouth that poor cup displays that aren’t punished can be turned into silver later in the season.
