:00:10. > :00:12.Researchers claim eating curry can improve performance. If that's true,
:00:13. > :00:14.this show's going to be a cracker. I'm Tony Husband, welcome to Late
:00:15. > :00:32.Kick Off. Coming up: Mark Saunders has just
:00:33. > :00:39.days to live so find out how this fan has united the Bristol City and
:00:40. > :00:42.Rovers supporters. I have h`d a good day.
:00:43. > :00:45.The thin white line ` who dhd score? Who didn't score by the narrowest of
:00:46. > :00:49.margins? And Benali could see red on the
:00:50. > :00:56.pitch but find out why this red hot performance in the curry kitchen is
:00:57. > :00:58.making scientific headlines. Hello again.
:00:59. > :01:03.Joining us in the studio three guests: Franny Benali, Southampton
:01:04. > :01:06.hard man, here to give us hhs football wisdom, of course. He's
:01:07. > :01:08.also pretty crucial to our curry experiment. And he's alongshde our
:01:09. > :01:11.resident stopper international defender Ady Williams. And, last but
:01:12. > :01:23.not least, our third guest, our rail seat ` the fans' answer to safe
:01:24. > :01:26.standing. More on this later. But first a story that's so
:01:27. > :01:30.inspirational and so sad. I don t know if you picked up on thd story
:01:31. > :01:33.last weekend about the termhnally ill Bristol City fan with d`ys to
:01:34. > :01:36.live. Mark Saunders' dying wish was to give the City team talk before
:01:37. > :01:40.last week's game. The story's spread all round the world through the web
:01:41. > :01:43.and social media. Now, with the time still afforded to him, Mark's made
:01:44. > :01:47.another pilgrimage to a place he's never been before. To the blue side
:01:48. > :01:51.of the City, to Bristol Rovdrs with his friend Dave Jeal ` well known to
:01:52. > :01:57.Late Kick Off ` he starred on the programme last year. Both of them
:01:58. > :02:00.used to square up to each other in the bad old soccer hooligan days,
:02:01. > :02:03.then things changed drastic`lly To the extent that Jeal is now the
:02:04. > :02:12.Rovers chaplain. And they'vd become good mates who're now sharing their
:02:13. > :02:19.final Saturday afternoon together. All green from top to toe who get us
:02:20. > :02:23.under way. You showed me respect. Unbelievable. Look around, never in
:02:24. > :02:27.a million years would I dre`m I would be here. The last place op
:02:28. > :02:35.earth you want to come on a Saturday.
:02:36. > :02:43.Towards the back! Bristol Rovers have the lead. The messages I got
:02:44. > :02:49.off the forums is superb. How does it make you feel? I feel hulble so
:02:50. > :02:53.um bell it's unbelievable. `` so humble it's unbelievable. I didn't
:02:54. > :02:57.think I would be here this week I am on such a natural high mx doctors
:02:58. > :03:02.are amazed I look so well. Ht's been brilliant. All blue and white shirts
:03:03. > :03:10.around me, and not a bad word's been said to me. And my mate, Dave. He is
:03:11. > :03:22.a mate. He knows he is on hhs last legs. He is burying me.
:03:23. > :03:30.There's more to life than, xou know, rivalry and match days he is going
:03:31. > :03:35.to want City to win, I want Rovers to win. At the end of the d`y he is
:03:36. > :03:42.my mate, I love him to bits. He is putting me in the ground. Only thing
:03:43. > :03:48.is he is not allowed to wear a Rovers' shirt.
:03:49. > :04:15.I had a good day. Have you had a good day? That is it. Full`time He
:04:16. > :04:26.baptised me. When was that? Five weeks ago. Don't start doing that to
:04:27. > :04:28.me, I won't come again. It's a pleasure and that's what football is
:04:29. > :04:40.about, going home happy. A win for his rivals and he loved
:04:41. > :04:43.it. The repeatable bit of Mark's Bristol
:04:44. > :04:47.City team talk last week gods like this: He tells us, "we pay lots of
:04:48. > :04:50.money to watch you play so can you please play like a team". They
:04:51. > :04:57.didn't take offence they've had lunch with him today. By thd way,
:04:58. > :05:00.more on Bristol Rovers later in the programme with the judicial review
:05:01. > :05:03.on their plans to move stadhum announced this week. Plus the best
:05:04. > :05:07.of the action. And the bizarre, too. We reveal the scientific sttdy which
:05:08. > :05:12.could prove curry is the next red hot thing in pre`match meals for
:05:13. > :05:14.footballers. Why the Rock of Gibraltar is the pinnacle for an
:05:15. > :05:17.ex`Southampton defender and an ex`Wycombe plumber. And will England
:05:18. > :05:25.rugby legend Austin Healy bdat Big Fletch at his own game?
:05:26. > :05:27.The match of the weekend in the Championship pitted Brighton against
:05:28. > :05:34.Reading. 1`1 the score. Points shared but who got the best of the
:05:35. > :05:38.strategic battle? We are gohng to break it down right now. Very much
:05:39. > :05:41.so. 16 minutes on the clock, Brighton's goal come from nothing
:05:42. > :05:47.really in all honesty. A big clearance. Headed back in the danger
:05:48. > :05:52.area. I like this, good link`up play. A third man run. The rest is
:05:53. > :06:00.history. Great movement. One`touch football.
:06:01. > :06:03.Hard to defend against. As the ball comes into the box some poor
:06:04. > :06:08.defending there and lack of communication which is obviously
:06:09. > :06:15.resulted in the own goal. McCarthy has to take responsibility there.
:06:16. > :06:21.1`0 down. Second one was thd main talking point. A red card for the
:06:22. > :06:25.Brighton Captain. A mistake there. That's a yellow card. This one is
:06:26. > :06:31.out of position, slightly spuare on, how would you go about this one He
:06:32. > :06:39.is in unfamiliar territory. He had a little dip in there. Minimal
:06:40. > :06:42.contact. It's a bit harsh. That s the modern game. If you are going to
:06:43. > :06:47.dip in and you are walking that tight`rope already you are playing a
:06:48. > :06:52.dangerous game. He's alreadx been booked, he has... You got to be
:06:53. > :07:05.careful. Win the ball. Four changes for the starting 11. This is a
:07:06. > :07:15.little bit of luck. Brighton are off the hook on that one. Not this one.
:07:16. > :07:20.Two or three yards is too mtch in this area of the pitch when you are
:07:21. > :07:24.inside your own box. He cut back to his stronger foot. Maybe a bit of
:07:25. > :07:29.communication, but better ddfending needed Should you be prepardd for
:07:30. > :07:32.that? You know that's his strength. Shouldn't you be ready for that You
:07:33. > :07:38.should after seeing the first bit of action. You know he is left`footed.
:07:39. > :07:43.It's like a wand, keep him on his right, get him away from thd goal.
:07:44. > :07:48.Brighton are down to ten men at this stage. They've to throw in deep into
:07:49. > :07:55.Reading's half. Keep the ball. They give it away sloppily. A hopeful
:07:56. > :08:02.ball up to the pitch here. Bruno has one. Cusack maybe redeemed himself?
:08:03. > :08:07.Yeah, gad save. The defence are all over the place. Bruno I think is
:08:08. > :08:13.unaware that the player's on his shoulders. A good save. Reading win
:08:14. > :08:18.that game. I think so. They had the momentum, they were having the
:08:19. > :08:21.possession. They can't quite string it together
:08:22. > :08:27.can they these two? Which is going to be in the top? It's a totgh one.
:08:28. > :08:30.There's nothing between thel. Brighton two points behind with a
:08:31. > :08:34.game in Franked. It's tough. It s getting to the business end of the
:08:35. > :08:43.season now. The three points can make a huge difference winnhng those
:08:44. > :08:47.games. That 6th place changds every week.
:08:48. > :08:55.Let's stay chatting for a moment, there were 11 international players
:08:56. > :08:57.on show in that match. A few could be Brazil`bound. But worth larking
:08:58. > :09:02.Southampton's contribution to the England squad with Franny hdre.
:09:03. > :09:05.Lallana looks a shoe`in. But who of the other three, youngster Shaw
:09:06. > :09:12.Lambert's journey via Bristol Rovers would be remarkable? But ard he and
:09:13. > :09:19.Rodriguez doubtful? Who is going? I would love to see all four go. Which
:09:20. > :09:23.ones? Adams with his recent performances, but I also believe
:09:24. > :09:29.Luke Shaw and Lambert will be on the plane, as well. Roy Hodgson has
:09:30. > :09:36.Cole, Baines and Shaw. Shaw and Baines. How good is Shaw? You have
:09:37. > :09:42.broke broken into the team `t Southampton. Look how he's done it.
:09:43. > :09:46.He is a fabulous footballer, to show the calmness on the pitch at a
:09:47. > :09:50.tender age, he is getting bdtter. He stepped up to the international
:09:51. > :09:55.stage and didn't stand out whatsoever. He raised to thd
:09:56. > :09:57.occasion. He deserves to be there with his performances It's
:09:58. > :10:02.interesting to be interesting the next few weeks. What do you think?
:10:03. > :10:10.Which Saints' players will lake it to Brazil? You can continue the
:10:11. > :10:22.debate via social media. How many of those four will make it
:10:23. > :10:26.on the plane? Bournemouth are moving closdr to
:10:27. > :10:28.securing their championship status for another season after thhs win at
:10:29. > :10:41.Blackpool. Two successive victories for
:10:42. > :10:46.Bournemouth. A huge win for Yeovil at thd bottom
:10:47. > :10:51.of the Championship. Miller towards the bottom of the screen, on his
:10:52. > :10:54.heels, he is not expecting ht. Flat`footed. This is is a dhfferent
:10:55. > :10:58.matter. He is expecting it to fall to him. He is alert, bright and
:10:59. > :11:02.makes no mistake. Buries it top corner. Miller already on the score
:11:03. > :11:05.sheet. He is thinking of nothing else when he gets the ball to run at
:11:06. > :11:10.the defence. Looking to get his second of the game. This is a
:11:11. > :11:21.sublime finish. He will enjoy this one. Great finish. Reading back move
:11:22. > :11:25.to the top six. At the bottom, plenty still to do for Yeovhl. Not
:11:26. > :11:29.helped by the fact that although they won the teams around them also
:11:30. > :11:33.did this weekend. I predictdd Bournemouth were safe last week
:11:34. > :11:37.Surely they are now? On the subject of Bournemouth, fellas, thex've got
:11:38. > :11:40.tighter at the back. They'rd giving less away even though this hs a side
:11:41. > :11:46.that likes to play fluid football. I am sure you can remember those
:11:47. > :11:50.times where you have been vdry hard at work, shape and discipline on the
:11:51. > :11:55.training ground that must bd the key. Very much so. That givds you a
:11:56. > :11:59.solid foundation. You work object a training ground, start with a clean
:12:00. > :12:03.sheet. Keep things tight and don't give anything away. They're a
:12:04. > :12:06.naturally positive side to play football. If they can keep things
:12:07. > :12:12.shut up at the back they've a great chance of getting results. Reading `
:12:13. > :12:18.Yeovil five unbeaten as well, they're looking to improve on that
:12:19. > :12:23.in weeks to come. In league one is Swindon's play`off
:12:24. > :12:28.chase running out of steam? Their manager suggest it is might be.
:12:29. > :12:33.Steve Cotterill's starting to get Bristol City fired up.
:12:34. > :12:35.A massive victory for Bristol over one of the other teams at the wrong
:12:36. > :12:41.end of the table. He won't forget that in a htrry On
:12:42. > :12:45.his top ten goals DVD. Unfortunately, City couldn't
:12:46. > :12:51.maintain their lead. What a strike that is. I like this a lot. Keep an
:12:52. > :12:59.eye out for Sam. He gets a little bit of luck. Head up once, twice,
:13:00. > :13:06.puts it in there. An OG puts them in front. Bristol City got the winner.
:13:07. > :13:14.Fantastic leap here at the far post. Up nice and early. The referee says
:13:15. > :13:18.it's a goal. It's a goal. No need for goalline technology.
:13:19. > :13:22.Three points and four places above the relegation zone.
:13:23. > :13:29.Here is the winner of the e`sy goal of the weekend award. Doesn't get
:13:30. > :13:33.simpler than this. He is allost too embarrassed to celebrate. Ntmber 24
:13:34. > :13:36.on the edge of the box in the white shirt, absolutely free as you like.
:13:37. > :13:44.Disappointing goal to give `way If that was me I would be fuming.
:13:45. > :14:03.Swindon lost the match in stoppage time. Five without a win now. They
:14:04. > :14:08.play each other, who is going in as favourites? For me it's a strange
:14:09. > :14:12.one. Bristol I think are slhght favourites. It's a local derby. The
:14:13. > :14:16.fans will be up for it but City nr good form. Swindon aren't. For me
:14:17. > :14:19.possibly City. City have perhaps that kind of inventive, the bit
:14:20. > :14:22.between the teeth at the molent A bit of form going into the game and
:14:23. > :14:26.confidence plays a huge part. It's going to be probably down to the
:14:27. > :14:33.bravest team who probably come out on top one day. That will bd our
:14:34. > :14:39.feature next week. Back to Bristol Rovers now.
:14:40. > :14:42.A long, drawn out planning row should come to a conclusion this
:14:43. > :14:45.week. The current plan to sdll their Memorial Ground to a superm`rket
:14:46. > :14:52.will be given the go ahead or stopped in it's tracks when a judge
:14:53. > :14:56.rules on the proposal. Rovers need the deal and thd money
:14:57. > :14:58.to make this vision come to life ` a 20,000`plus stadium built ott of
:14:59. > :15:01.town. Protesters claim the supermarket deal will bring traffic
:15:02. > :15:03.chaos, pollution and would harm local businesses. With the decision
:15:04. > :15:06.imminent, Rovers supporters, led by Conservative Bristol North West MP
:15:07. > :15:09.Charlotte Leslie, have been giving the decision makers a nudge ` a
:15:10. > :15:16.13,000 signature petition ` handed in to Number 10.
:15:17. > :15:19.We have listened to the comlunity. We have developed a mixture scheme.
:15:20. > :15:21.It's not all about a superm`rket. It's about affordable housing, it's
:15:22. > :15:24.about parking for local people. It's about community space, it's about
:15:25. > :15:26.refurbishing and maintaining the memorial gates and building a garden
:15:27. > :15:29.around them, pedestrianising them. Listening to the local people. We
:15:30. > :15:32.have had dozens of consultation processes on both projects to get to
:15:33. > :15:38.the he final step, just abott to start, and to get this, it just
:15:39. > :15:39.makes you feel uncomfortabld. An all`seater stadium could be on
:15:40. > :15:45.the way, then. Here's the irony. When you're
:15:46. > :15:48.building a brand new stadiul, you can't have one of these, a rail
:15:49. > :15:53.seat. Brilliant response last week to your thoughts on safe st`nding.
:15:54. > :15:58.Here's some of them. Andy McCallum says, "It's all about giving fans
:15:59. > :16:04.the choice to stand. It's mtch safer than standing in all`seated stands."
:16:05. > :16:10.Paul Andrews, "I used to st`nd in the Milton Road Stand at thd Dell
:16:11. > :16:17.back in the '80s '90s. St. Mary's doesn't come close to that
:16:18. > :16:21.atmosphere." True? I'd agred. Niall Otway is a Plymouth fan, he says, "I
:16:22. > :16:24.love Home Park. I don't see why people would need to stand, apart
:16:25. > :16:28.from block three, where we have lads standing." Bournemouth fan Daniel
:16:29. > :16:31.Lee says there should be a choice, "I want to stand. In my opinion
:16:32. > :16:36.supporters create a better atmosphere when standing." Thanks
:16:37. > :16:39.for all your reactions. Next week, we're at Bristol City and hdre in
:16:40. > :16:43.the studio we'll be hearing both sides of the argument as we talk
:16:44. > :16:46.more about our rail seats. Now, we reveal a bit of scidnce
:16:47. > :16:49.which could get every Sundax League footballers' Hearts and taste buds
:16:50. > :16:52.racing. Solent University scientists are midway through a study which is
:16:53. > :16:58.examining if curry could be the new pre`match meal of choice for
:16:59. > :17:02.footballers. And the study hs being run in partnership with us. It just
:17:03. > :17:05.seemed the polite thing to do. And why has Franny Benali been ` key
:17:06. > :17:16.part of the experiment? Let's find out with our reporter Andy Steggall.
:17:17. > :17:23.The tests have lasted a fortnight for three volunteers, fans of food
:17:24. > :17:24.and football. 1402g of lean chicken and spices precisely for evdry
:17:25. > :17:40.person. Right, we've got the guinea pigs.
:17:41. > :17:43.The students who are going to be involved. We have got the
:17:44. > :17:46.ingredients, we have the schence and now we need someone to bring it
:17:47. > :17:50.together, someone who knows all about football and curry. And I ve
:17:51. > :17:53.got the answer. The Benali Biriani is named after the Southhampton man,
:17:54. > :18:04.Francis Benali, at top`flight defender for more than a decade A
:18:05. > :18:08.red card assassin on the football field and pretty brave in the
:18:09. > :18:13.kitchen. So it's lucky therd are no referees here. The scientists have
:18:14. > :18:16.their own rules. Each plate for each participant has a certain alount of
:18:17. > :18:23.curry, measured by body weight, with the same amount of curry powder in
:18:24. > :18:26.it. The students are in a phlot study. They signed up to eat several
:18:27. > :18:31.plates of lean chilli chickdn in very measured conditions. Gtys, I've
:18:32. > :18:34.got to applaud you to begin with. Not just eating a meal laced with
:18:35. > :18:37.chillies but the fact that ly cooking skills are as good `s my
:18:38. > :18:44.goal`scoring record when I played, and that's not too good. So, how's
:18:45. > :18:50.the meal? Really nice. It's hard work. It's in the name of science.
:18:51. > :18:53.Sportsmen all around the cotntry are thinking they can have a curry
:18:54. > :18:56.before any sporting event and that performance will be improved is
:18:57. > :19:01.quite exciting and interesthng to know. Next, they have to walk for 20
:19:02. > :19:06.minutes from restaurant to science lab.
:19:07. > :19:18.Sit down, rest, and digest. Then back to the treadmill for a
:19:19. > :19:20.gruelling five kilometre run. In an ideal situation, you'd like to see
:19:21. > :19:25.some form of potential analgesic effect, a painkilling effect. If you
:19:26. > :19:28.think about, in any sport, the difference between the first and
:19:29. > :19:31.second place, obviously, winning and losing a game, it comes down to the
:19:32. > :19:38.tiny changes you can make and nutrition is one of those things
:19:39. > :19:44.that can make a big difference. The first... Four or five minutds, all I
:19:45. > :19:49.could taste was curry. And then I wasn't sure if I was going to carry
:19:50. > :19:57.on. But then that subsided `nd I was hanging on.
:19:58. > :20:02.One of the things that drew our attention to this was that the idea
:20:03. > :20:05.that back in the Beijing Olxmpics, there were four athletes
:20:06. > :20:12.disqualified for eating capsicum. And they were all horses. The data
:20:13. > :20:20.is being collated now. And the results of curry power will be hot
:20:21. > :20:26.off the press very soon. Can't wait to know what thex are as
:20:27. > :20:30.well. Well done to all the volunteers. We salute you. We might
:20:31. > :20:36.be looking more for a proper trial because the university are looking
:20:37. > :20:41.at extending their trial. So, Fran, we saw you there, did you ever have
:20:42. > :20:46.a curry before a game? I didn't I steered well clear of it. It was too
:20:47. > :20:50.lively from me for a pre`match meal. What was your pre`match meal?
:20:51. > :20:57.Beans on toast or spaghetti Bolognese in the later years. And
:20:58. > :21:02.Ade, you had a food fiasco. When I was 17, just trying to break into
:21:03. > :21:06.the squad, I wasn't in the squad in that name, I got myself a phe,
:21:07. > :21:12.chocolate heart and drink, but the manager came in looking for me. I
:21:13. > :21:18.was the pie as he came lookhng for me, one of the boys got changed in
:21:19. > :21:23.the warm up and I had to go out and play. I survived. Jimmy Casd back in
:21:24. > :21:31.the day in Southampton, what did eat? Players like Jimmy, I remember
:21:32. > :21:35.he was eating a steak during a pre`match meal. It seems cr`zy, but

:21:46. > :21:51.think about the game? I lovd it gasp Berger, the best on the ment. Just a

:21:55. > :21:57.League Two now. We'll talk `bout Torquay in just a moment. Fhrst
:21:58. > :22:00.though, a few of our clubs `re looking over their shoulders and, in
:22:01. > :22:02.Portsmouth's case, they're looking to score.
:22:03. > :22:14.A third successive clean shdet for Portsmouth and a second successive
:22:15. > :22:17.goalless draw. Cheltenham h`ve now drawn ten of the last 20 le`gue
:22:18. > :22:19.fixtures. A couple of weeks ago Pompey were hammered 5`1 ag`inst
:22:20. > :22:22.Scunthorpe. Since then, Richie Barker's men have shown ten`city.
:22:23. > :22:25.Three clean sheets on the bounce, including giving Chesterfield the
:22:26. > :22:30.scare last Monday evening as you saw on Late Kick Off. Like Pompdy,
:22:31. > :22:40.Exeter store have some work to do to secure their football leagud status.
:22:41. > :22:44.Exeter, one win in 12. Tom Nichols alert to put them in front. Exeter
:22:45. > :22:48.almost threw it away although sometimes you just have to `dmire a
:22:49. > :22:51.goal, even if it is through gritted teeth. The Daggers, their sdcond
:22:52. > :22:54.goal, very soft penalty to give away. Easy to throw the towdl in
:22:55. > :23:01.when decisions like this go against you. Look at the body langu`ge. It
:23:02. > :23:04.says it all. Did they show some character coming back? Absolutely.
:23:05. > :23:07.Talk about character, they'd dug deep and you take what you can,
:23:08. > :23:17.including this absolute howler on a Dagenham goalkeeper. Watch this one.
:23:18. > :23:26.Whoops! Oxford without a in four now. Was it offside or wasn't it? It
:23:27. > :23:30.doesn't matter. It ends up hn the back of the net. The second one for
:23:31. > :23:33.me, the goalkeeper, but when you are against form, when you are scrapping
:23:34. > :23:37.for points, it often goes to the opposing player. 2`0 down bdfore you
:23:38. > :23:40.know it. The Oxford goalkeeper, he redeems himself. This is a stonewall
:23:41. > :23:43.penalty. Ryan Clark, he guesses the right way. Strong risk, but 2`0
:23:44. > :23:46.never a good scoreline. Ryan Williams goes through here. A tidy
:23:47. > :23:50.finish, but Oxford are back in the game. This is what I talk about when
:23:51. > :23:53.things are not going your w`y. A couple of months ago, this would
:23:54. > :23:57.have ended up in the back of the net. It doesn't, it hits thd post
:23:58. > :24:00.and it falls to safety. Absolutely gutted. Oxford should get in the
:24:01. > :24:03.play`offs but we all know about teams blowing their chances as the
:24:04. > :24:04.end of season approaches. Ldt's hope it's not them.
:24:05. > :24:12.Oxford haven't won since mid`February and they've now slipped
:24:13. > :24:15.to sixth. Plymouth may have lost that Bristol Rovers but thex're just
:24:16. > :24:17.outside the play`off race whth a game in hand.
:24:18. > :24:22.outside the play`off race whth a game in Do Oxford need a permanent
:24:23. > :24:26.manager? There is too much uncertainty for the fans and
:24:27. > :24:30.players. Maybe now is the thme to appoint someone permanently. A lot
:24:31. > :24:38.of talk about finances and new directors, some shares in the clubs,
:24:39. > :24:42.so, on field, what are their chances? They are in with a shout.
:24:43. > :24:47.It is that stage where you have to keep your nerve. Be brave and go for
:24:48. > :24:52.it. Confidence plays a huge part. Home form is a big thing as well so
:24:53. > :24:56.they've got every chance. Wd have seen the top of the table btt the
:24:57. > :24:59.bottom is ugly if you're a Torquay fan, are they all but down `lready?
:25:00. > :25:03.Our cameras were at Plainmoor for the game against Fleetwood, and we
:25:04. > :25:10.did try our best to lift sphrits but there was doom and gloom evdrywhere.
:25:11. > :25:18.That is the best chance of the game so far. Another nail in the coffin,
:25:19. > :25:25.we are doomed! Here comes the strike! Great save!
:25:26. > :25:32.Time is up, you've got to start preparing for the worst. Into the
:25:33. > :25:44.back of the net! No passion, no fight, gave up when they scored
:25:45. > :25:53.Fleetwood Town, good block by the goalkeeper. I can't see us going up
:25:54. > :25:58.for a minimum of five years. Exeter are backpedalling, Portsmouth and
:25:59. > :26:10.Wycombe, a better off. The consequences of going down, look
:26:11. > :26:14.at who you've got there. Te`ms that have been used to playing in the
:26:15. > :26:19.football the. Ten points adrift 11 if you look at their goal
:26:20. > :26:25.difference. Exeter, your old team`mates, they are going
:26:26. > :26:29.backwards. The run of form hs a worry lately. And they've got to be
:26:30. > :26:34.mentally strong because the consequences of dropping into
:26:35. > :26:38.relegation, you don't even like to consider it. They will need the
:26:39. > :26:46.expense of another team`matd down now. So, fingers crossed. They
:26:47. > :26:49.haven't won at home since they beat Plymouth, would they swap that now?
:26:50. > :26:51.Before we go, a search around the clubs to see what's odd and
:26:52. > :26:54.interesting. I'm starting whth Wycombe and, as Franny's in the
:26:55. > :27:00.studio, another Southampton back four link. Missing from Wycombe s
:27:01. > :27:05.2`1 win over Hartlepool at the weekend was Reece Styche. The
:27:06. > :27:12.striker has been on international duty with the world's newest
:27:13. > :27:15.football nation, Gibraltar. You are an international football play
:27:16. > :27:19.against teams that are going to be playing in the European
:27:20. > :27:22.Championships, in the World Cup so I am enjoying it while it l`sts
:27:23. > :27:28.because you never know when your career could be cut short. Gibraltar
:27:29. > :27:36.would lose to the Faroe Isl`nds but not before Danny he came bottom run
:27:37. > :27:43.the rule over his team`mates. `` Danny Higginbotham. That pl`yers now
:27:44. > :27:50.the fattest player Gibraltar have ever produced. It might not ever get
:27:51. > :27:53.better for Gibraltar. They have Germany, Poland, Republic of
:27:54. > :28:03.Ireland. Their first game is against Poland as well. What have you
:28:04. > :28:06.found? A complete mismatch, an England superstar, well, yot'll see.
:28:07. > :28:08.Austin Healey has been down at Bournemouth and he's up for a
:28:09. > :28:11.challenge. A crossbar challdnge against Cherries legend Steve
:28:12. > :28:14.Fletcher. Rugby to go first, Healey going with the drop kick. On the
:28:15. > :28:25.money, perfect. That is why they call me the magician. He is looking
:28:26. > :28:33.for a seven iron, a little bit of angle. He has another go, exactly
:28:34. > :28:40.the same result. Look. He dhd know it was a crossbar challenge?
