It is quite possibly the most tantalisingly balanced contest since the 1966 World Cup final went into extra-time.

The Headline Game, a daily battle between The Northern Echo and TFM Radio, stands at 3-3 going into tomorrow's final showdown.

It was a point each again this morning when the story was about a performer known as The Naked Cowboy who strums his guitar while wearing just his boots and a hat.

We went with "Rawhide" which had the extra merit of being a song title. They went with "High Moon" - decent but not a song title.

A score draw was announced, leaving the week on a knife-edge.

Fingers crossed.
