Evans: Goals-oriented

The 23-year-old Wales international struck his 20th and 21st goals of the season in the Blades' 2-1 win over Preston at the weekend, but remains hungry for more as Danny Wilson's side maintain their challenge for automatic promotion.

Evans said: "My next target which I would like to hit is 30. I think it's possible, I set myself targets for inspiration and at the moment I'm enjoying my football.

"I'm delighted with how my season has gone, having missed games at the start, and all the times I have hit the woodwork and, on Saturday, missing a penalty.

"I've kept a count on how many times I've hit the post or crossbar and I believe it's about 14 times. If they had gone in I'd be looking at nearing 40 goals by February."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
