:02:42. > :02:51.Great name, by the way. I made my debut at 24 which, in football

:02:51. > :02:59.terms, is really late. I didn't even expect to play my first season.

:02:59. > :03:07.You are very modest, mate. How did you find out you had the condition?

:03:07. > :03:17.I was 16, at the football club, and I had had the ball. As I came down,

:03:17. > :03:19.

:03:19. > :03:23.I collapsed. -- headed the ball. I remembered from this day, being

:03:23. > :03:31.carted off. 1 I woke up, did not know what had happened. It was not

:03:31. > :03:37.until I got to the hospital, and my mother said she -- I had had a fit.

:03:37. > :03:42.I said, what? When I was told I had epilepsy, that is when it kicked in.

:03:43. > :03:49.I was thinking, will I be able to play football still? I didn't

:03:49. > :03:57.wanted to affect me anyway. I went out and just got on with it. Tell

:03:57. > :04:02.me about how you treat your condition. It is simple. I have two

:04:02. > :04:08.15 milligrams twice a day, once in the morning and one in the evening

:04:08. > :04:14.at 6pm. I have it with dinner. It is as simple as that. I can't help

:04:14. > :04:20.but notice the T-shirt, "Passion, power, progress." It describes how

:04:20. > :04:25.a play. The progress with my epilepsy. It represents me. And you

:04:25. > :04:30.wear this under your skirt -- under your shirt? Yes, during games. I

:04:30. > :04:34.think it had -- I feel that it helps me. This is what I about.

:04:34. > :04:38.have seen the world of football coming together with Fabrice Muamba

:04:39. > :04:44.collapsing on the football pitch. For very different reasons. Did

:04:44. > :04:52.that bring any memories back off when you were 16? I can relate to

:04:52. > :04:55.being on the football field and collapsing and waking up. Do you

:04:55. > :05:00.believe there has ever been a time where a club has looked at you and

:05:00. > :05:08.found out that you have had epilepsy and said, maybe not?

:05:08. > :05:12.hoping not. It is kind of discrimination. I hope that is the

:05:12. > :05:18.reason, not because of what I have. I have played against teams that

:05:18. > :05:23.have actually let me go on trial, and they have said, no, not for us.

:05:23. > :05:29.I have played against these managers and one. It is a nice

:05:29. > :05:32.feeling to play against them and prove them wrong. Good to see in

:05:32. > :05:38.doing so well and positive news about Fabrice Muamba over the

:05:38. > :05:44.weekend. Do you think that incident, and some of the things we have been

:05:45. > :05:49.talking about in the light of this, will make a difference to screening,

:05:49. > :05:55.preventing this happening in the future? I hope so. It is great news,

:05:55. > :05:59.his recovery. There is a long way to go, but I was involved with the

:05:59. > :06:04.PFA for five years as chairman. I know the great work they have done,

:06:04. > :06:07.and they have started screaming scholarship players that come into

:06:07. > :06:12.full-time football. But there are a number of players that have come

:06:12. > :06:16.into the ranks, maybe from non- League, like Leon Legge, and we

:06:16. > :06:22.have some players at Charlton that have come in, and you have to test

:06:22. > :06:27.those boys. Normally, our club doctor has said that if you don't

:06:27. > :06:34.pick up a problem at 16, it is very rare to get it later. I know the

:06:34. > :06:37.people keep talking about constant screaming, but really, between 16

:06:37. > :06:41.and 21 is when you pick it up. should talk about Leon Legge

:06:41. > :06:47.because he came to the game quite late. You have seen him play

:06:47. > :06:54.recently. He is a big unit, I believe we would say. He is an

:06:54. > :06:59.inspiration for anybody out there who suffers from the same thing. I

:06:59. > :07:04.think Gary Matt Brittin was a diabetic. Football is a challenge

:07:05. > :07:09.anyway but to come in from non- League, 24, grabbing an opportunity.

:07:09. > :07:15.They won for nail, they played some excellent football against Carlisle.

:07:15. > :07:19.And back to winning ways of the weekend for Bradford. -- four 0.

:07:19. > :07:24.Their 10th on the table. Can you Their 10th on the table. Can you

:07:24. > :07:27.see them making a charge for the play-offs? They have to make double

:07:27. > :07:32.play-offs? They have to make double figures in term of home wins. They

:07:32. > :07:35.are eight points off. They have again in hand. Wheel was once the

:07:35. > :07:41.home team's to do well but I think it is going to be difficult for

:07:41. > :07:46.them. -- a game in hand. We have had a huge response to you being on.

:07:46. > :07:52.Chris, you have been at Cheltenham for 14 months. What has your

:07:52. > :07:57.biggest challenge been on the job? I had a big challenge last year, we

:07:57. > :08:03.had a really tough season. It was a tough baptism for me but I learned

:08:03. > :08:09.a lot about myself and my staff and my players. I was backed up well by

:08:09. > :08:14.the board. The key to it all was selling Carl Dickinson to Arsenal

:08:14. > :08:22.because it gave me some money because we are struggling

:08:22. > :08:26.financially. -- we were struggling. I made big changes on the playing

:08:26. > :08:30.side. I brought in a group of players that have really gelled.

:08:30. > :08:37.They really enjoy playing with the club and the supporters are happy

:08:37. > :08:40.with them. You have had a great with them. You have had a great

:08:40. > :08:46.season so far. It did not work out against Huddersfield. Jordan Rhodes

:08:46. > :08:53.scored goal number 484 of the season. You are not happy with the

:08:53. > :08:57.sending off. What happened? His 35th goal of the season. It is

:08:57. > :09:02.outstanding what he has done, and it was a penalty. And this was

:09:02. > :09:06.Darel Russell's sending off. That was the second bad tackle from

:09:06. > :09:10.Antony Kay. The first one was on Scott Wagstaff and it went

:09:10. > :09:13.unpunished. Darryl kicked out, so there was no problem I have no

:09:13. > :09:17.there was no problem I have no problem -- there is no problem. I

:09:17. > :09:21.have no problem with that because we are taught, if you retaliate,

:09:21. > :09:28.you go. I felt the player should not have been on the pitch to begin

:09:28. > :09:34.with. Three weeks ago, the gap was with. Three weeks ago, the gap was

:09:34. > :09:37.17 points. Thanks(!). It is down to nine. Is complacent and -- his

:09:37. > :09:42.complacency creeping in or have you done something differently? We have

:09:42. > :09:46.come to the business end. Everyone says that. It is true. Teams are

:09:46. > :09:50.fighting for different reasons. Maybe things that were not going so

:09:50. > :09:52.well, it is going to happen. You will have a blip. Whether people

:09:52. > :09:57.will have a blip. Whether people thought we should have had that at

:09:57. > :10:01.the start of the season, we have had a great time and we have to see

:10:01. > :10:06.it over the line. It is about being mentally strong because the

:10:06. > :10:10.physical side -- the physical side is fine. I have a good squad. You

:10:10. > :10:19.are trying to find a good balance. I have not changed my team too much.

:10:19. > :10:28.It is about keeping calm, keeping our heads. We have four home games.

:10:28. > :10:34.It is there for us. It is a doddle(!). A question from Twitter.

:10:34. > :10:39."If any, which manager do you go to to ask advice?" I shouldn't really

:10:39. > :10:44.say but I have spoken to one or two. I am a fledgling manager. It is new

:10:44. > :10:47.to me. My first full season. I tried to remember what those

:10:48. > :10:52.managers are played under, Alan Curbishley, Alan Pardew, Nigel

:10:52. > :10:57.Pearson, Sven Goran Eriksson, what did they do in these situations?

:10:57. > :11:02.Ultimately, you have to look at yourself and interact with your

:11:02. > :11:08.staff. They have a role to play. Ultimately, it is about getting a

:11:08. > :11:13.group together and galvanising them. Charlton are desperate to get into

:11:13. > :11:14.the Championship next season. West Ham are desperate to get out of it.

:11:14. > :11:24.Ham are desperate to get out of it. Yet another disappointing results

:11:24. > :11:30.

:11:31. > :11:35.those were the words of exam after this one. But Burnley will be

:11:35. > :11:38.kicking themselves. Martin Berkeley opened the scoring after weaving

:11:38. > :11:42.through the West Ham defence. Kevin Nolan looked to have equalised but

:11:42. > :11:46.as he was celebrating, the officials were ruling it out for

:11:46. > :11:51.what they deemed to be a push. It got worse for the Hammers when

:11:51. > :11:56.Martin Paterson made it 2-0 before half-time. West Ham launched a

:11:56. > :12:03.fightback with a quarter of the game remaining. Two minutes later,

:12:03. > :12:13.James Tompkins equalised. A 5th successive draw leaves the Hammers

:12:13. > :12:19.

:12:19. > :12:24.four points outside automatic creative enough in this one. The

:12:24. > :12:30.Sussex side's day started unravelling late on, Sparrow took

:12:30. > :12:40.an early bath in his comeback match from suspension. Brighton succumbed

:12:40. > :12:44.

:12:44. > :12:49.in injury-time, Lynch capitalised on scruffy play in the penalty area.

:12:49. > :12:55.Both Watford and Ipswich needed to win to keep up the pressure for a

:12:55. > :13:00.play-off berth. Emmanuel Thomas capitalised on some slack defending.

:13:00. > :13:06.Michael Chopra was guilty of a real howler, conspiring to miss an open

:13:06. > :13:10.goal from two yards. The introduction of a substitute gave

:13:10. > :13:18.the Hornets and added edge and Shaun Murray made it count with his

:13:18. > :13:23.fifth goal for the club. The winner for Watford was all about tenacity,

:13:23. > :13:33.showing great composure to seal the win, leaving the Hornets within six

:13:33. > :13:33.

:13:33. > :13:39.points of the play-offs. The Palace manager said the opening

:13:39. > :13:49.half-hour cost his side their unbeaten run. Steve Davis back his

:13:49. > :13:50.

:13:50. > :13:55.ninth of the season for the Rams. Friedman made two changes at the

:13:55. > :14:04.break but his side went further behind. Gardner was penalised for

:14:04. > :14:13.handball. No mistake made from this spot kick. The manager praised his

:14:13. > :14:17.team for not giving up, and this bizarre goal came from a back pass.

:14:17. > :14:21.Quick-thinking Glenn lorry set up Chris Martin to score the sixth

:14:21. > :14:26.goal of his loan spell. Darren Ambrose further reduced arrears in

:14:26. > :14:33.the last minute, and the defeat means play-offs now look like they

:14:33. > :14:37.are some way off. Millwall's miserable home form

:14:37. > :14:42.continues and this time it was Leeds United who did the damage.

:14:42. > :14:48.McCormack got the only goal, helping them forget their midweek

:14:48. > :14:53.thrashing by Nottingham Forest. The Lions weren't without their chances.

:14:53. > :14:59.Alex Bruce took down another player, with this loose ball being fired

:14:59. > :15:04.into the net. Unfortunately the referee had already awarded a spot-

:15:04. > :15:14.kick. Unfortunate, because Millwall are still without a home win this

:15:14. > :15:23.

:15:23. > :15:31.West Ham, the slip continues. Too many draws. Draw specialists, apart

:15:32. > :15:39.from the win against Burnley. They have got nice strikers, they should

:15:39. > :15:44.probably start playing two up front, but they were drawn games. Reading

:15:44. > :15:49.is a huge game on Saturday, but five wins from the eight games, it

:15:49. > :15:55.is still in their own hands. When you think about where Brighton are

:15:55. > :16:01.now, fourth in the championship, it must be hard not to get the old

:16:02. > :16:06.dream machine going? So moving to aspire to, of course. Looking at

:16:06. > :16:13.Southampton and Norwich, they are the role models for clubs in League

:16:13. > :16:19.One, such as ourselves and the two Sheffields. You don't want to look

:16:19. > :16:24.too far ahead, but if you get this job done first, you can bring that

:16:24. > :16:29.momentum to the next season. I was at Leicester, got in the play-offs

:16:29. > :16:32.the following season, and it happens to promoted clubs that they

:16:32. > :16:38.have still got the good feeling running through the club and they

:16:38. > :16:42.can possibly go into the championship. It is the moment we

:16:42. > :16:49.have all been waiting for, sort of. We take one fan from each division

:16:49. > :16:55.to prove their club offers the best match-day experience. This might

:16:55. > :17:05.seem similar to a popular dining show but there is football involved.

:17:05. > :17:07.

:17:07. > :17:11.Your Place Or Mine is brought to you by Kevin Day. If my name is

:17:11. > :17:17.Nick, I am 22 and I love the West Ham because you never know what to

:17:17. > :17:21.expect. I am very competitive, I don't like losing, I support West

:17:21. > :17:27.Ham so I am used to losing sometimes but on personal level I

:17:27. > :17:31.want to win. I am 19 and I am mad about Wycombe

:17:32. > :17:41.Wanderers. It started with my grandad, he took my mother to her

:17:42. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:53.first game. I am any to, I am 100% crazy about

:17:53. > :17:57.AFC Wimbledon. When these guys got up and said they were going to

:17:57. > :18:02.start from scratch and build a new club, I thought they were

:18:02. > :18:08.completely mad but I stuck my hand in the air anyway.

:18:08. > :18:13.These fans are competing for the most coveted trophy known to man,

:18:13. > :18:23.to us at Late Kick Off anyway. Anita is hoping to impress the

:18:23. > :18:30.judges by cocking up a storm in the kitchen. -- cooking up. Grey to

:18:30. > :18:40.meet you. Come on through. Do you like the corpse? Nearest to the

:18:40. > :18:42.

:18:42. > :18:47.warm balls I could get. Nick completes the trio. Take a seat.

:18:56. > :19:00.am allergic to lemon. Are you? Well, I promised my daughter I would take

:19:00. > :19:08.you down the garden to see our little friends. I wonder what we

:19:08. > :19:14.will find. I bet it is furry. are you hiding your warm bowls?

:19:14. > :19:21.quite warm bowls, a pair of lovely guinea-pigs. It takes a lot to feed

:19:21. > :19:29.Haydon. What about the other one? You can't remember his name, can

:19:30. > :19:34.you? Our can't remember my own kids' names either most of the time.

:19:34. > :19:39.Game on. My first impressions of the meter is that she was very

:19:39. > :19:44.pleasant and welcoming, slightly bonkers but in a nice way. Allergic

:19:44. > :19:49.to the Lemon drizzle cake, probably have to get something better at the

:19:49. > :19:59.ground. Anita didn't have a cunning plan to take her friends dancing,

:19:59. > :20:04.

:20:04. > :20:14.this was home of the beloved one balls, hosting Burton. Cheers. --

:20:33. > :20:39.is the worst job. Even though I am a girl, I don't think they should

:21:31. > :21:38.she's talking about football wise, tactically she knows everything

:21:38. > :21:47.really. I am upset about the Lemon drizzle cake, and I think that is

:21:47. > :21:51.bad on the BBC, not checking out the allergy thing. I wish I had

:22:05. > :22:09.We should say well done to AFC Wimbledon for that impressive win,

:22:26. > :22:33.back to? I should say Charlton really, but... He you are Charlton

:22:33. > :22:39.through and through. I supported Spurs as a boy, and on cup games, I

:22:39. > :22:49.have been to a few games as a teenager, special nights. And if I

:22:49. > :22:52.

:22:52. > :22:59.want to know the best cook? It is awkward, because the players don't

:22:59. > :23:07.cook. Andy Gray from Palace, he cooked a stake for us one night

:23:07. > :23:14.when we were in Sweden. He did a really good job, so Andy Gray.

:23:29. > :23:37.

:23:37. > :23:42.role for Wycombe, his third successive penalty save to keep the

:23:42. > :23:49.blues on level terms. Just after half-time, the promotion-chasing MK

:23:49. > :23:54.Dons were ahead, thanks to Powell's tidy finish. Salvation came deep

:23:54. > :23:59.into injury time, Stuart Bevan heading his 22nd of the season to

:23:59. > :24:09.spark wild celebrations. Wycombe are one point above the relegation

:24:09. > :24:16.zone. Just four points above the drop so now, this capitalising on

:24:16. > :24:20.slack marking gave them another bite of the cherry.

:24:20. > :24:25.Loan signing Gary Alexander has helped Crawley get their promotion

:24:25. > :24:29.push back on track. He set up Billy Clarke for the opener against

:24:29. > :24:35.Rotherham and was then on target himself. This was his fourth goal

:24:35. > :24:45.in five games for the club. The skipper put the seal on it to make

:24:45. > :24:52.it three wins in one week. The manager reckoned the referee

:24:52. > :24:58.cost his team two points on this one. The men of Kent went further

:24:58. > :25:05.ahead against the relegation battlers when Ramsden scored into

:25:05. > :25:10.his own net. The substitute reduced the arrears with a deft flick, and

:25:10. > :25:14.then the moment that had the manager fuming. This shot was

:25:15. > :25:24.dribbled in with a man stood right in front of the keeper. The referee

:25:25. > :25:26.

:25:26. > :25:33.allowed the goal to stand. It was a relegation six-pointer on Friday

:25:33. > :25:40.night and it was the bee's who had marginally the better of it. When

:25:40. > :25:50.his shot came back off the post, he couldn't convert the fall. Simon

:25:50. > :25:50.

:25:50. > :25:59.Macleod does not miss many, but how costly might this slip prove? Just

:25:59. > :26:04.three points clear of the drop zone. The daggers were behind in this one,

:26:04. > :26:10.somewhat against the run of play. The home side did and lick their

:26:10. > :26:13.wounds for too long but had to be patient. Mickey Spillane eventually

:26:13. > :26:21.settled the striker for his equaliser for his first goal since

:26:21. > :26:24.January. In a grandstand finish, and Stanley down to 10 men, it was

:26:24. > :26:26.Scott dough whose God for the second successive game and helped

:26:26. > :26:31.second successive game and helped the daggers climb three successive

:26:31. > :26:36.places. We are trying to get through some of these questions.

:26:36. > :26:43.What do you put your success down to this season, in a sentence?

:26:43. > :26:49.players, staff, supporters and board. What is the proudest moment

:26:49. > :26:56.of Chris's career? Without a doubt playing for England. That is the

:26:56. > :27:02.pinnacle of any footballer's career. You still look back on that fondly?

:27:02. > :27:12.Absolutely. The best signing you have made this season? I have made

:27:12. > :27:17.

:27:17. > :27:24.23, so... Where do you expect to finish this season? The smile says

:27:24. > :27:29.it all. We have had no questions for you. Quaye right as well.

:27:29. > :27:34.luck for the rest of the season, Chris. If you ever needed proves

:27:34. > :27:41.the play-offs are a lottery to be avoided, we should point you in the

:27:41. > :27:46.direction of the Gillingham fan. Goodnight, and thanks for watching.
