Spurs boss Redknapp: FA Cup has lost standing

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits the FA Cup has lost it's gloss.

"I'd be a liar if I said the FA Cup had the same standing," he said. "Burnley is the priority. You have one competition when you are in the semi-final and the other one you are on the long and winding road and there is a long way to go.

"It would be lovely to win the FA Cup this year and I think this side has a chance. We're looking forward to doing our best and giving it a real go. I'd rather have a run in this than the UEFA Cup - there are so many games left in that.

"But we need league wins, we are still in the UEFA Cup and I've got 17 players. For me the Carling Cup is very important but the most important thing is the league."
