Tamworth manager Andy Peaks has signed a new full-time contract to run until 2027, three days before their FA Cup third-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur.

Peaks has been in charge since February 2022 and led them to back-to-back promotions, including winning last season's National League North title.

They reached round three by knocking out Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion, both League One clubs.

The 53-year-old former AFC Rushden & Diamonds boss will leave his job as a support worker at Tresham College in Kettering, Northamptonshire, in February to focus full-time on The Lambs.

"I am delighted to have accepted the offer to go full-time with the club, which will allow me to focus and concentrate on securing the clubs position within the National League," Peaks said.

The sold-out tie against Spurs - which kicks off at 12:30 GMT on Sunday - is the club's biggest since facing Everton in the third round in 2011-12.

Tamworth are 16th in the National League table and go into the game after being knocked out of the FA Trophy by Sutton United last weekend.

LAST MATCH



We threw 3 points away thanks to a missed penalty, hitting the woodwork 3 times and poor defending again. We got off to a great start, Valery firing home after good work by Charles & Musaba. We then had a great chance to make 2 when we awarded a penalty, but Ugbo ballooned his effort over the bar after the players asked him to take it. Onto the 2nd half and we had chances to make it 2 but were denied by the woodwork twice. We then decided to let Millwall score after we did our usual when defending a set piece and Honeyman scored. Musaba then hit the woodwork and Millwall then took the lead when Wintle fired in from the edge of the box. But we managed to get a point when youngster Otegbayo fired in at the back post from a cross.

THE MATCH



A break from the league as we travel down to Coventry in the FA Cup. The Sky Blues have had a disappointing season and currently lie in 16th place in the league, which led to Mark Robins getting sacked and to be replaced by Frank Lampard. He has had a mixed start to his reign, won 3, drew 3 and lost 3. I think Coventry should have enough to stay away from a relegation dogfight. We won here earlier in the season, Charles with an injury time winner and we still owe them for that quarter final defeat at Hillsborough back in 1987, the year they went on to win the Cup. There leading scorer is Wright with 7 goals and 1 assist.

KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC

There's a TV film just started ("Bless 'em All"), and it took me back nearly 60 years!

We used to sing it (in the Brummie Road) when Everton came to play. To the tune of "Bless 'em All, The Long and the Short and the Tall":-

F*** 'em all
F*** 'em all
Especially Alan Ball
We'll never be mastered
By that little B*****d
So sing up you lads
F*** 'em all!!!



No doubt we copied it off Liverpool........ Any other comical football songs from the past to chuckle to???

Gillingham have sacked manager Mark Bonner after eight months in charge of the League Two club and replaced him with former Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman.

Coleman and his assistant Jimmy Bell will take charge until the end of the season.

The Gills have lost their past three league matches, including a 3-0 home defeat by Bromley on Thursday.

Bonner was appointed as the team's third permanent manager in the space of seven months in May 2024 and took charge of 28 matches, winning nine and losing 15.

"Mark is a top guy, a top professional and has given absolutely everything he could have given to help the club succeed," Gillingham's managing director Joe Comper told the club website., external

"We liked him from the moment we met him, and we still do, which makes this decision even tougher."

On appointing Coleman, Comper added: "I am delighted that John and Jimmy have agreed to join us.

"[Coleman] knows the league well, he is familiar with our group of players and has even managed a couple of them while with his previous club."

Gillingham were top of the table at the end of September, but 10 defeats from their past 15 games have left them 14th and 10 points short of the play-off places.

Gillingham's game at Chesterfield on Sunday was postponed and their next fixture is at home to Fleetwood Town on 11 January.
