Excuse me talking with me mouth full I`m having 11Evansies. That`s 3 eggs, 3 legs (sausages), 6 fingers of bacon, Ethnic Pudding, a mountain of toast and some internal energy in the form of baked beans.

Me a Boston basher, never. Personally I hope we help them out by beating Wrexham next week. A good point today for the Imps, three would have been better but the results went our way. Hughes appears to be awakening. Mazza and the Furious Four kept clean sheet 96. A sub sixty figure in the goals against column is looking good guys. If 3 at Darlo can follow it we will still be up on the stage as Steve Evans begins the warm up to the fat ladies swan song to 2007-08.

Dons’ Auto dream took a dent defeated 1-2 by Grimsby. A Danny Boshell net busting 20 yard volley followed by James Hunts strike put the showl two up. Bolland was denied a third before Andrews pulled one back from 10 yards. Cods Till then hit the bar before Mcleod missed an open goal. Mondays trip to Shrewsbury could see moanin` Martins mob only one ahead of us.

Barnet surprised Hartlepool 2-1 Bee Adam Birchall stung the Monkeys in the fourth minute Eifion Williams who was denied a penalty, exacted revenge with a clinical close range finish., A point apiece seemed par for the course until Jason Puncheon’s 81st-minute screamer. Beware Danny Wilson the MOM curse comes in threes, Hartlepool now play Stanley, slayers of Posh`s playoff bubble 3-2.



Walsallsies closed the gapses. They were two up in a quarter of an hour. Trevor Benjamin headed home Kris Taylor’s left-wing cross and then Lee Mansell was adjudged to have tugged Benjamin ‘s shirt. Torquay were furious Keates kept calm to double the lead giving Raynor no chance. This galvanised the Gulls, Reuben Reid scored with a shot on the turn and Lee Thorpe was unlucky not to equalise. Walsall won`t fancy Hereford Monday after the Swindon result. But then they are only two off top spot.

Shrews and Wycombe are locked in the battle for 7th spot. Tax weekender Tommy Mooney broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark after Stewart Drummond’s moment of madness. A gift back pass allowed the pensioner to finish from eight yards. Shrews shrugged the setback and 7 minutes later Michael Symes turned in Ben Davies’ scuffed shot. Dave Edwards could have won it for them his header deemed offside. With Wycombe swimming with fish and Shrews entertaining Franchise; musical chairs will be order of the day tomorrow.

The Bulls battered Swindon from the off. Resilient defending and three missed chances just about earned a point. Tamika Mkandawire, Andy Williams and Alan Connell could have put Hereford three up early on. A superb Steve Guinnan save from Smith at the death edged Swindon a point closer to promotion. Walsall won`t fancy the bulls, Monday, but Swindon at home to Torquay will need heavenly intervention. Fortunately we have a Cathedral big enough and the Gulls need this one if they are to have any chance of staying up.
