A pleasure to chat with Tamworth goalkeeper Jas Singh following their recent exploits in the FA Cup.

The Staffordshire side took Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur to extra-time last month in the famous old competition.

If you're going to read one book this year then I recommend Pondy by Nathan Pond & Dave Mitchell.

It's the autobiography of Fleetwood Town legend Nathan Pond and his career of going from the NWCFL to League 1 with the Lancashire club.

Some great TV picks after the Friday night game.

Sure most would rather have Leeds v Harrogate Town or even Newcastle v Bromley then Villa v West Ham.
