Showered, and having coffee. Mate picking me up soon and off to train stop for the best way to start a journey with a big fry up I'll have the full daffy, before leaving for the smoke at 9:42. Maybe post updates of journey as go along, on mates laptop, if they got sockets to use it regularly, and maybe a match report before crash out tonight. If not will give report in the morning when arrive back in civilisation.

Due in to the smoke at 12:49 if Grand Central on time.

Before anyone says anything I agree, I need some sort of help after that so called performance on Saturday. But this is Pools and we all know they as likely to put on their best display of the season and produce a shock result of the night and actually win with ease. Well that's what my heart says, what my head says something else.

Ladbrokes offer 7/1 Boyd, 9/1 Behan and 10s Monkhouse for 1st goal, With Gamble at 25s. If you fancy a Pools centre back scoring the 1st goal from maybe a corner its 25s Clark 33s Liddle, 40s Collins and a fluke goal (though of course may be meant) from an Austin cross gets you 50s.
