:00:07. > :00:12.How much do you pay to see your team score of goal? And who tried
:00:12. > :00:22.to blackmail one of our teams? So many cash-for-questions on this
:00:22. > :00:32.
:00:32. > :00:39.show. I'm Tony Husband, welcome to While Pele played for glory, we
:00:39. > :00:46.reveal who was trying to corner our teams behind the scenes. The class
:00:46. > :00:49.of 2012, a Reading ace reveals why the Royals have title ambitions.
:00:49. > :00:59.Tutors will stress, and a review was ordered over the new Bristol
:00:59. > :01:05.City stadium. -- judicial stress. It is a bit worrying. Plus, Steve
:01:05. > :01:15.Evans explains this later in the programme. And of course, all the
:01:15. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:25.goals from our clubs this weekend. So, welcome to the programme, on
:01:25. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:33.the night we reveal who gets the bang for your buck is...�10. We
:01:33. > :01:43.work out how much it costs you've heard goal scored by your team. For
:01:43. > :01:49.
:01:49. > :01:54.heard goal scored by your team. For We will compare notes at the end.
:01:54. > :01:58.There are rich pickings tonight, as Leroy is joined by Steve Fletcher,
:01:58. > :02:00.who has played more than 800 professional games, and he added
:02:00. > :02:05.Plymouth to his list of clubs on Plymouth to his list of clubs on
:02:05. > :02:12.Saturday. More on that later. First up, Reading, very much contenders
:02:12. > :02:17.for the title now, alongside Southampton. What a win for the
:02:17. > :02:25.Royals at West Ham, what a story to tell the kids in Berkshire today.
:02:25. > :02:29.Jeremy Pearse investigates. Reading's statistics have tumbled
:02:29. > :02:34.dramatically since Jason Roberts arrived. 48 hours after the ecstasy
:02:34. > :02:38.of West Ham, it was back down to earth today for Jason Roberts, as
:02:38. > :02:45.he made time for us and community work and a visit to a soccer school
:02:45. > :02:49.for children with special needs. How are you? But how good was that
:02:49. > :02:56.performance at West Ham? Upton Park is a special place to go. It meant
:02:56. > :03:00.a lot to them. Some of the stuff that had happened in the previous
:03:00. > :03:06.game, there was a charged atmosphere, and I think it affected
:03:06. > :03:11.all the players a little bit. But I think we handled that emotion
:03:11. > :03:16.better than they did, and that's why we managed to come out with a
:03:16. > :03:22.win. Reading's spectacular run of form has coincided with the arrival
:03:22. > :03:27.of Roberts, the 34-year-old having hit five goals in 12 appearances.
:03:27. > :03:33.He is looking for a quick return to the Premier League. I want to get
:03:33. > :03:38.promoted, anyway we get it, I will take it right now. Upton Park was
:03:38. > :03:41.packed with more than 33,000 fans. packed with more than 33,000 fans.
:03:41. > :03:45.Reading did it the hard way, after conceding an early goal from
:03:45. > :03:53.Carlton Cole. Two girls in two minutes before half-time
:03:53. > :04:00.transformed the game. The first came from Kaspars Gorkss, and then
:04:00. > :04:03.Noel Hunt got the second. So, what did manage a Brian McDermott say at
:04:03. > :04:09.half-time? As always, the manager was calm and meticulous, he said
:04:09. > :04:14.what he thought we could do better, in the second half, and we did it.
:04:14. > :04:21.Reading extended their lead when Ian Harte scored from the penalty
:04:21. > :04:30.spot. Then, a towering header from Ricardo Vaz Te games -- gave West
:04:30. > :04:33.Ham a glimmer of hope, but it was cancelled out by Leigertwood's goal.
:04:33. > :04:38.Jason Roberts will be looking to add to his goal tally in the
:04:38. > :04:48.remaining games, and no doubt the kids from this school in Berkshire
:04:48. > :04:50.
:04:50. > :04:55.Well, he is certainly making a name for himself in the media and on the
:04:55. > :05:00.field - what an impact he has made. He is a big, strong striker, he has
:05:00. > :05:05.got more to his game than that. He is good with his feet. He is a
:05:05. > :05:10.handful for defenders. They must hate playing against him. At times
:05:10. > :05:14.he is unplayable, isn't he? certainly is. It is not just on the
:05:14. > :05:20.pitch, it is what he brings to the dressing room in terms of, he has
:05:20. > :05:27.been there, people look up to him, he has brought out the best in Noel
:05:27. > :05:32.Hunt as well. And he still manages to do a phone-in on Saturday night
:05:32. > :05:41.as well. Still to come, lots more goals, and the game which has
:05:41. > :05:48.become folklore, when Pele played in Plymouth. Plus, what did manager
:05:48. > :05:53.Steve Evans say to his players after this incident? Bristol City
:05:53. > :05:57.now, stuck on the pitch and off it. Today's legal judgment has made way
:05:57. > :06:02.for a judicial review of the planning process for their new
:06:02. > :06:06.ground. The delay and cost has got majority shareholder and owner
:06:06. > :06:13.Stephen Lansdown frustrated. He has said it is the wrong decision, they
:06:13. > :06:19.will fight it. The game in a moment, but first, let's hear from the fans.
:06:19. > :06:28.Pretty nerve-racking at the moment. Stressful, really stressful. A bit
:06:28. > :06:32.worrying. Once you're a supporter, you're always a supporter. I shall
:06:32. > :06:38.you're always a supporter. I shall be here next year, whatever happens.
:06:38. > :06:48.A chance to break from midfield, he pulls it back, and it's a goal,
:06:48. > :07:03.
:07:04. > :07:13.after 19 minutes, Bristol City are from Brett Pitman! Taking in the
:07:13. > :07:17.adulation of the Home fans. Living dangerously, Bristol City. Yes,
:07:17. > :07:21.they need to get another victory, draws are not enough. They are
:07:21. > :07:23.battling away, not playing great, but that doesn't matter. If they
:07:23. > :07:26.but that doesn't matter. If they get three points, that's what they
:07:26. > :07:32.get three points, that's what they get three points, that's what they
:07:32. > :07:36.need. You have played with Brett Pitman, will he helped them get out
:07:36. > :07:40.of danger? He can definitely score a goal or two. He scored a
:07:40. > :07:46.fantastic honour at the weekend. But they have got to stop them
:07:46. > :07:51.going in at the other end as well. Looking dangerous for them at the
:07:51. > :07:57.bottom, but fingers crossed for Bristol City. Southampton,
:07:57. > :08:01.Portsmouth and Brighton coming next. And lookout for who gets most bang
:08:01. > :08:04.for their buck. Southampton have for their buck. Southampton have
:08:04. > :08:11.been good value for season ticket holders this season. But this match
:08:11. > :08:18.was one to forget. It could have been very different, had this spot
:08:18. > :08:23.kick from Billy Sharpe been successful. Blackpool went ahead
:08:23. > :08:28.through Stephen Dobbie. Southampton had scored in each of their 10
:08:28. > :08:32.previous matches, but not in this one. Stephen Dobbie got another,
:08:32. > :08:40.then Ian Evatt got Blackpool's third. It's the Southampton remain
:08:40. > :08:50.top. Brighton provide great value for money, as our statistics show.
:08:50. > :08:54.Boro went ahead through Marvin Emnes, but Brighton equally East --
:08:54. > :08:59.equalised through Inigo Calderon. No Portsmouth fan will see this
:08:59. > :09:03.match as good value for money. Five of the six goals was caught by
:09:03. > :09:09.Burnley. David Norris got an equaliser for Portsmouth, and they
:09:09. > :09:17.were level at the break. But everything went wrong for
:09:17. > :09:27.Portsmouth in the second half. Portsmouth are now five points away
:09:27. > :09:30.from safety. This was the low point, this poor pass from Jason Pierce.
:09:30. > :09:34.Taking a look at the table, it Taking a look at the table, it
:09:34. > :09:40.makes great reading for Southampton, Reading and Brighton. A straight
:09:40. > :09:42.shoot-out, do you think, between the top two? We have got to think
:09:42. > :09:46.about West Ham as well, because the top two will play each other
:09:46. > :09:51.between now and the end of the season. But it will be a difficult
:09:51. > :09:56.for anybody to overtake those two. Portsmouth really thumped at home,
:09:56. > :10:00.so of course, the next game, that will be a big one. The Portsmouth
:10:00. > :10:06.manager, he has been quite pleased that he has got such a big game
:10:06. > :10:10.coming up. We have got a week to prepare. We get an opportunity to
:10:11. > :10:14.get our frustrations out against Southampton. But news for
:10:14. > :10:19.Southampton today, their Japanese striker is out for the rest of the
:10:19. > :10:23.season, which makes Rickie Lambert crucial for the run-in. He is
:10:23. > :10:28.crucial anyway, he has probably been the best player in the
:10:28. > :10:33.Championship all season. He is a superb player, deserves to be in
:10:33. > :10:37.the Premiership. Brighton are holding on, have they got enough to
:10:37. > :10:41.stay in the play-off places? They certainly have. They have had a
:10:41. > :10:46.fantastic 2012, unbeaten at home this year. That home form will get
:10:46. > :10:55.them through, I think. Gus Poyet will be relishing this. I think the
:10:55. > :10:56.players will, too. Before we leave the Championship, here are the
:10:56. > :11:06.the Championship, here are the statistics which we have been
:11:06. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:18.Anything we are surprised to see in that group? Not really, but Bristol
:11:18. > :11:27.City firms will think they have got value for money if they stay in the
:11:27. > :11:33.Championship this year. Southampton, decent value, Steve? Absolutely.
:11:33. > :11:37.Goals galore at home. Players scoring from all over the park.
:11:37. > :11:39.Lots more bang for your buck to Lots more bang for your buck to
:11:39. > :11:45.come, the full list of 17 will be coming up at the end of the
:11:45. > :11:49.programme. And we will continue the debate online. Moving on to League
:11:49. > :11:54.Two, Crawley manager Steve Evans says the midweek brawl involving
:11:54. > :12:02.his team was bad, but he does not think his team were all to blame.
:12:02. > :12:08.They have been charged with failing to control their players during
:12:08. > :12:15.this post-match brawl. Two players are facing suspensions already, and
:12:15. > :12:22.those extensions -- those suspensions could be extended.
:12:22. > :12:27.was horrible, you can see me and my staff, we walked away from it. You
:12:27. > :12:30.do not want to get involved in the middle of that. I would defend one
:12:30. > :12:34.or two of my players, to say their actions were retaliatory. But that
:12:34. > :12:42.does not matter, you're on a football field, you should not be
:12:42. > :12:52.getting indulged -- involved in that, it is shocking behaviour.
:12:52. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :12:57.for the match, no goals for Crawley, and just one penalty claim. It
:12:57. > :13:01.finished goalless against Burton Albion. You played for Steve Evans,
:13:01. > :13:06.what is he like? Very charismatic. In and around the dressing room,
:13:06. > :13:11.and on the pitch. He is a handful, but he has done brilliant. He has
:13:11. > :13:17.got Crawley promoted. He is different the way he does things,
:13:17. > :13:21.but he is very successful. He gets under your skin, I had one
:13:21. > :13:26.experience of him when he was at Boston, I took Torquay there, and
:13:26. > :13:29.he was having a go at me most of the time. That's what they do, they
:13:29. > :13:35.get under your skin, but it has worked for him, he has had lots of
:13:35. > :13:38.success. Now, has promised, the story of that glorious footballing
:13:38. > :13:44.talent who travelled miles to Plymouth to grace Home Park. We
:13:44. > :13:48.will have more of Steve Fletcher in a moment. But first, that match
:13:48. > :13:56.from 1970s which goes down in soccer folklore. And they still
:13:56. > :14:06.talk about it in the City today. This story was part footballing
:14:06. > :14:09.
:14:09. > :14:15.Pele and Brazil are world champions, they are superstars of their
:14:15. > :14:20.generation. Both the captain and Pele were
:14:20. > :14:24.among World Cup winners who played for Brazil's top club side, Santos.
:14:24. > :14:29.They decided to tour Britain to raise a bit of cash.
:14:29. > :14:37.And it was headline news when Santos picked lowly Plymouth as one
:14:37. > :14:45.of their opponents. I am convinced that I would have
:14:45. > :14:51.been about here. The place was packed to the rafters. 35,000
:14:51. > :14:55.people, perhaps a few more. It was amazing. They had seat around the
:14:55. > :15:01.perimeter. Can you imagine that now?
:15:01. > :15:10.But this was not happening just 15 minutes earlier, because this
:15:10. > :15:14.Santos team were still in their suits.
:15:14. > :15:21.I was thunderstruck, because they said that the Santos team would not
:15:21. > :15:31.take the field until they had an extra payment for the match.
:15:31. > :15:32.
:15:32. > :15:35.We were black belt into paying them �2,000 extra, -- blackmailed.
:15:35. > :15:40.So they were going to play for the summer that was agreed before the
:15:40. > :15:44.match? Yes, but they cannot read English,
:15:44. > :15:49.and they did not want to know about the contract.
:15:49. > :15:53.What happens to make you decide to put aside with the match?
:15:53. > :15:58.I looked out the window and we saw that there were already 30,000
:15:58. > :16:04.people in the ground. My first thought was that if we
:16:04. > :16:13.abandon the match, there will be blue murder amongst the crowd.
:16:13. > :16:18.What was it like walking out here? There was fear or on your face. I
:16:18. > :16:25.had been playing local football 18 months before this, and now I was
:16:26. > :16:32.playing against Pele. It was unbelievable. Pele was the
:16:32. > :16:40.name, so to have him playing here was just unbelievable. The majority
:16:40. > :16:47.of people, it will stick with them forever. The mood only increase
:16:47. > :16:54.because after three minutes, Argyle took the lead.
:16:54. > :17:00.The goal was only just caught by the BBC cameras.
:17:00. > :17:06.Plymouth then went two up thanks to Derek.
:17:06. > :17:11.A cross came in from out there, and they moved up, and I dived in and
:17:11. > :17:18.headed it, and it ended up in the back of the net. I will never
:17:18. > :17:22.forget it. Two up, an old Third Division side,
:17:22. > :17:32.League One in present -- present currency, playing the greats of the
:17:32. > :17:40.game. Here is all we have got of a third goal. The game itself was a
:17:40. > :17:45.delight. But at half-time, Argyll's -- Argyle's Secretary still had a
:17:45. > :17:49.headache. We had to go to their
:17:49. > :17:56.representative and play them the money.
:17:56. > :18:06.Santos fought back with Pele's penalty. Pele's through-ball
:18:06. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:16.created a second. But Argyle held on to win. As the
:18:16. > :18:25.teams socialised at a hotel reception afterwards, backstage at
:18:25. > :18:32.in a Santos room, the deal was done. We went into this room and this
:18:32. > :18:37.official came with us, and we said to him, you're absolutely cricket.
:18:37. > :18:40.It is disgusting what you have demanded of us, and we shall report
:18:40. > :18:45.due to the Football Association, and you will never play football in
:18:45. > :18:51.this country again. He shrugged his shoulders and said there were
:18:51. > :18:59.plenty more countries. I dropped the packets of money on to the bed
:18:59. > :19:04.and he's good them on tour -- into a bag and walked out.
:19:04. > :19:08.It was a great night in my opinion. Probably the greatest night in
:19:08. > :19:14.Plymouth Argyle's history. And it is a real shame that this problem
:19:14. > :19:18.has arisen. I have been in some pubs in
:19:18. > :19:21.Plymouth, and you can find somebody in a corner that will remember that
:19:21. > :19:25.night. It is something that generations have grown up knowing a
:19:25. > :19:34.lot about. A tremendous to have such a player playing at a ground
:19:34. > :19:39.like that. Just to finish this story, there
:19:39. > :19:42.was a little bit of a twist. The FA phone to Plymouth up three
:19:42. > :19:45.years later and said they had got their money back, because Santos
:19:45. > :19:50.were playing in Holland, and FIFA would not sanction the game until
:19:50. > :19:56.they gave Plymouth for the money back. So it all finished happily
:19:56. > :20:01.ever after. 37,000 at Home Park, something
:20:01. > :20:06.people do not forget. There were just under 7000 there, let's bring
:20:06. > :20:12.it up to date, because Plymouth were playing against Bradford.
:20:12. > :20:17.Perhaps it had something to do with this man, Steve, are you going to
:20:17. > :20:23.help bring that price crashing down?
:20:23. > :20:27.I doubted! As long as I can supply a few and help the team, it is
:20:27. > :20:31.vital that the result comes, that is what we need, three points,
:20:31. > :20:36.which we got on Saturday. They are a big club and I want them to
:20:36. > :20:44.survive. How much time did you get? You were
:20:44. > :20:51.not on the pitch four minutes in. No, we had 86 minutes to survive.
:20:51. > :20:55.It was a great header. I cleared a few of the line and some headers,
:20:55. > :21:00.and it takes everything to get the result. It is the result that
:21:00. > :21:05.counts at this time of the season. You actually sat with the support
:21:05. > :21:11.as well? Yes, I went up to associate myself
:21:11. > :21:17.with the boys. There were 1200 fans there, and they were brilliant.
:21:17. > :21:23.Do you think able stay up? Absolutely, we have a big game on
:21:23. > :21:28.Friday against Hereford. We also have Swindon away, so it is tough,
:21:28. > :21:33.but these games are all vitally important. I think we give
:21:33. > :21:36.ourselves a bit of breathing space if we win our next two.
:21:36. > :21:46.More of the promotion chasers now, starting with Swindon in a West
:21:46. > :21:49.starting with Swindon in a West Country derby.
:21:49. > :21:59.Swindon are excellent value in a power back for your bucks that.
:21:59. > :22:09.This was a good point. Swindon's lead is now down to two Point. But
:22:09. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:24.three coming into this match, and they took the lead against
:22:24. > :22:29.Shrewsbury with a successful penalty all-star they could get
:22:29. > :22:32.into the play-offs, and it was looking better for them when
:22:32. > :22:42.Shrewsbury's David McAllister was sent off. But they failed to make
:22:42. > :22:48.the most of the advantage. The curse of -- the curse struck again,
:22:48. > :22:54.Marvin Morgan scored. All this lot are moving in on the top seven. --
:22:54. > :23:03.Aldershot. Oxford's fans have had a good value
:23:03. > :23:06.for money this season. They went a goal down after three minutes.
:23:06. > :23:13.Odds that remain in at 6th place, despite conceding again in the
:23:13. > :23:21.despite conceding again in the second half. -- Oxford.
:23:21. > :23:31.Two more games were played on Friday. Both were huge for Torquay.
:23:31. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:43.A superb finish coming up from Danny Stevens. They have won 13 of
:23:43. > :23:48.their last 17 games. John and supporters have not had
:23:48. > :23:55.many goals to cheer recently, and their chances of success as up and
:23:55. > :24:00.were not helped when Sido Jombati was sent off. The Essex side took
:24:00. > :24:10.advantage with four goals. It is now five matches without scoring
:24:10. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:20.Chobham on a bad run now. They are hanging on to a play-off place. --
:24:20. > :24:24.Cheltenham. They have had an outstanding season.
:24:24. > :24:28.He had to change things around and bring in some young players, lost
:24:28. > :24:32.their top scorer, and I think they are having a great season. They
:24:32. > :24:35.just need a bit of luck to get them going again.
:24:35. > :24:37.Now to reveal the League Two Bang for your Buck winners and losers.
:24:37. > :24:40.Pile them high, score them cheap. Pile them high, score them cheap.
:24:40. > :24:43.That's Swindon - just �6.40 per goal at the County Ground. Plymouth
:24:43. > :24:53.and, surprisingly, Aldershot are bottom of the basement. �17 a goal
:24:53. > :25:03.bottom of the basement. �17 a goal for both sides. Swindon at the top,
