no tv in the US or the UK its not on tv at all I am following it here http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/matchcentre/tottenham-hotspur-vs-barnsley-19092017/ and also on the bbc site http://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/41230008
14:06 Tottenham 0-0 Barnsley What a start to Juan Foyth's Tottenham career this would have been. The defender, who joined Spurs last month from Estudiantes, heads just over from a corner. Strong start by the hosts.
7.13 - CHANCE - SPURS Slick move, Walker-Peters into Son into Llorente, edge of the box, out to Dele, one-two with Sissoko, Dele curled over from 20 yards.
From one of the pictures I saw, it looks ike there are a lot of empty seats - are the Spurs support getting Wembey fatigue already?
25.50 - CLOSE - SPURS Llorente lost his man and strained every inch to meet Trippier's corner, met it but couldn't keep header down from eight yards. Tottenham 0-0 Barnsley Fairly low key start to this game. Quite reminiscent of Spurs' match with Swansea on Saturday with the hosts dominating possession and struggling to create many clear-cut chances.
Posted at 14:28 CLOSE! Tottenham 0-0 Barnsley You've got to stick that one away! Fernando Llorente is inexplicably left all alone for a corner and the striker has time to place is header... but puts it over. Terrible defending from Barnsley.
So far a quiet night in the Cup, just 4 goals combined in the other games as they approach half-time.
31.08 - CLOSE - SPURS So close... Trippier spotted Son's run between defenders, almost put it on a sixpence for him, Son couldn't quite reach it.
Barnsley have a player named Barnes. Maybe that's what we need, a player named Totten! Now that I think of it, I used to work with a pretty lass by the name of Victoria Totten. I know, I know, but what do you expect when it's 0-0?
14:35 Tottenham 0-0 Barnsley Big chance for Barnsley to sneak ahead as 19-year-old midfielder Harvey Barnes gets into a good position and shapes to shoot but his effort is blocked by a fine last-ditch challenge by Jan Vertonghen.
Six of the games are 0-0 at half-time. What is this, 1980s Serie A? We could be heading to extra-time and possibly penalties...
40.24 - Chance to Barnsley Visitors best chance yet - Hedges whipped in the corner met by Lindsay, glanced header wide from six yards.
So in almost 225 minutes of home football against Burnley, Swansea and Barnsley, we have scored 1 goal. Sigh. Almost makes me long for Janssen...
I am getting tired of reading "fired over from xx yards" take some advice from the American Civil War: AIM LOW! sheeesh
I am following this from Vancouver, Canada, so I have the existential dilemma of whether I should go out for lunch now (it is almost 1 pm here), or wait until after the tie (which could have extra time and penalties). Pros: That kebab food truck I like won't have that big a queue at that time. Cons: I might miss a Spurs goal. I wonder what Victoria Totten is doing at this moment in time...
The goals are flying in now, Middlesbrough are 1-0 up at Villa, Norwich is 2-0 up at Brentford and Bristol City have taken a shock lead against Stoke!
