A LATE collapse by Charlton beat my line last week so I'm hoping for better luck this time round.
I'm starting off with Everton against an Aston Villa side whose fortunes show signs of changing any time soon.
While Everton were beating West Brom in midweek Villa were crashing 2-1 at home to Newcastle to follow on from their cup exits to Bradford and Millwall.
It doesn't get any easier for Paul Lambert who hasn't made any January signings of note and a trip to Goodison is as tough as it gets.
I'm staying in the Merseyside area and backing Tranmere at home to Carlisle. The Prenton Park men are back in business after a ropey spell and last week's win at Brentford was impressive.
Tranmere have now won four of their last five to climb back to the top on goal difference and should beat a Carlisle outfit who concede too many goals – 50 in the league.
Carlisle lost 3-0 at home to Tranmere earlier in the season and haven't kept a clean sheet in seven outings.
Complete the treble with Dundee United who face Rangers in an intriguing SPL v SFL William Hill Scottish Cup tie. Rangers have had mixed fortunes against top-flight opposition this season, beating Motherwell but losing to Inverness at home, and this represents their toughest test.
United managed to keep hold of star men Johnny Russell, Jon Daly and Gary Mackay-Steven in the transfer window and are capable of giving a side relying on a handful of youngsters a torrid time.
Rangers, of course, were banned from making signings and have struggled in recent weeks, beating Peterhead 1-0 and drawing 1-1 with Montrose and Elgin.
Ally McCoist's men may be cruising to the Third Division title but there is a gulf between them and United and we could see it here.

Bold backing Rangers given they drew with Montrose last week and got eliminated by a rampant ICT in the other cup? What are you basing this on? Bare in Mind Gers are away from home against superior opposition.
1plus2, just give us the tips please. Don’t want an Old Firm debate. You as well Hank. Thanks.
Mr F did i miss something ? what you mean about a debate on the Old firm ? i never mentioned nothing about the Old Firm as far as i can see or remember ?
1plus2, it was anything major but it doesn’t take a lot to get a reaction and I had to delete one of Hank’s responses. Unfortunately just saying “the mighty Rangers” can get a reaction and it did. I wanted to kill it before it got nasty as it’s done in the past.
Was that all it was ffs i missed what was said and deleted but if it was because of the (Mighty Rangers) then the lunatics have definately taken over the asylum.
But i take on board what you are saying m8.
No intentions of starting a debate Mr.F, I save that for twitter. Thoughts on Chelsea tomorrow 23/20 anyone?
Hank, unfortunately it doesn’t take much to start a fight. As you see I’m on Dundee United simply because man on man they have the better squad. Rangers will have to produce the display of their season to have a chance. I can Newcastle v Chelsea being a draw with goals too.
Southampton, ross county, swansea all massively over priced tomorrow as well I feel. Think your right with the newc/chels draw as well mr.f.
RANGERS 3.45
PRESTON 1.95
PORT VALE 1.50
GOOD LUCK FOLKS :)
Another one bravely backing Rangers
LET’S JUST WAIT AND WATCH THE GAME HANK..
Appreciate for a rangers fan that the price on Rangers tomorrow must be very tempting, and almost surreal to see your team priced in such a fashion against Dundee Utd. Changed days one would say. Just bare in mind the gulf in class and bet with your head.
LOL The gulf in class theres no class in Scottish football the top team here central coast would beat everytime in Scotland bar celtic
Danny dont talk pish, i was at last seasons grand final and it was worst game of fitba ive seen. Mike mcglinchey plays for central coast. an average celtic reserve once upon a time. pipe down and stop talking nonsense
aye and ave gawn tae Scottish football for years and most people stand in the ground talking rather than watchin the football coz its that shite puntin the ball up fur a heeder and hopin it lands for a dig I magic watchin that for 90 minutes
Dont compare the A-League to the SPL, theres no comparison. Our games not as bad as what certain people make out. We have quality in our league outside of Celtic, the product isnt great, as in half empty stadiums, poor pitches etc but we have quality.
here mate am not going to get into an argument about Scottish football with you Some of my best memories are from going to games in Scotland am not denying there is some talented players but it can get boring at times dusny stop me watching the highlights when a can but
Well thats a different story from saying theres no class and CENTRAL COAST would beat every team in SPL bar Celtic isnt it? Ridiculous statement, listening to Mark Bosnich on FOXTEL too much me thinks.
LOL at ‘the top team here central coast…’ the top team in Aleague seems to differ from year to year. this seasons bottom team will be running away with it next season. Adelaide in the ACL last season.
it does differ from season to season and thats makes it good who wants to pay good money too watch one team win everything all the time and no get challenged
Australian football is piss poor. An average junior player in Scotland could land a contract in one of the regional premier leagues in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth earning a few hundred $ a week. McGarry and Mehmet are on contracts in the A-League ffs.
Everton
Tranmere
Man utd
st johnstone 6/4
stenhousemuir 6/4
brechin 5/4
Dundee Utd would win the A-League mate, hands tied behind their back and blindfolded.
one thing youve got to remember football isnt even the number one sport here its not takin as serious as in Scotland tell you one thing dundee utd couldny do here keep up a decent pace for 90 minutes in the roastin hot temperatures
I know ‘soccer’ is the 3rd or 4th sport, but im not making bold statements bigging up the A-League and slagging Scottish football mate. A-League is played at a slow tempo anyway, and players soon climatize. Our game deserves more respect than it deserves. Bosnich came out and said A-League is better standard as well, almost as ridiculous as that wig he wears on his napper.
on there day they would beat most teams in Scotland the football in Scotland is joke all round the world and you know it
and you canny tell me its not coz a went to it fur years and I know what I seen at the end of the day Scotland and Austrlias shite football doesnt effect me and am not going to spend a roastin hot day inside having a debabte about it
Dont make silly statements then, A-League is pish. Ive been there and seen it. Berisha is treated like Messi in Brisbane. enough said.
lol his wig is a belter have you not read any of my previous comments on the Aleague were i have said on the whole its can be utter shite apart from some teams producing some nice stuff at times if memory serves me I once compared some of the play to children in the play ground
Scottish Football is years ahead of Aussie fitba and to suggest otherwise is just ignorant. Away and watch an a -league game if its that good instead of wasting ur day indoors.
Fair do’s then mate but dont compare it to our league because its disrespectful to our game.
aye its not the best but ure making silly statements anaw why does Scotland deserve more respect than it gets coz celtic are doing good in the champions league thats one team what about other teams that have had a go at europa and papped right oot ae it be4 the group stage
Theres good players in every team in the SPL outside of Celtic. Ross County and St.Mirren have quality players that would stand out in the Aleague. im not saying out league is top notch, but to compare it to the Aleague is shocking.
One would think youve been throwing back the Carlton draught and this is affecting your judgement.
lol believe me it can and does effect my judgement on stuff carlton draught is awright a prefer tooheys extra dry or carlton cold
Was once throwing back Magners at $12 a pop up in a bar up in Cairns. Broke my heart paying that kinda cash.
aye it breaks ma heart ordering a pint getting charged $9 and they hit u with a poxy scooner
Hank, not sure what an Aussie dollar is worth but where I go in France for the golf you struggle to get a pint (it’s not even a pint) for less than seven euros. So it can be just as expensive all over. Most city cente Glasgow hotels are charging £4 to £5 for a bottle of beer now.
its only 9am ave got plenty of time al be doing what I usally do when the soccer is on melbourne derby is on al have it on mute and look at if a goal gets scored other than that its my tunes all the way an a booze
Pure Blonde man myself. Superdrys boke material.
never tryed the pure blonde and the han superdry is not the best naw
aw the bevy is expensive here about $90 a week for 2 crates
Was paying $52 for a crate of Peroni at the drive-thru round the corner, scandalous. Even if a was making $35 an hour.
thats the hing the moneys good but they hit u wae the insane cost of living is that were ure originally from Cairns
pity the beer tastes like wombats pish lol
Naw naw scots born and bred, just spent a good bit of time over there. Brisbane, Cairns and Perth. Love Cairns. Cost of living broke my heart, $10 can of deodorant. id rather have B.O.
Spoken like a true Sweaty Jock as the say lol
aye thats some holiday tae go on definetly the price of stuff is mad a wait for the deodrant to go on specialy usaully last week a payed $12 for a lynx was gutted did u not notice alot of people dae walk about heavy wreckin oot thare boxes I a like a good few tim tams same cant be said for there crisps and sweets but somtimes a find masel doing a 50km round trip to the shop that sells all the stuff a miss
Seen Irn Bru getting sold in a Woolworths in arse end of nowhere far north queensland, that was a pleasant surprise.
aye it woulda been a nice surprise a love the stuff but $4.60 fur a litre botto is pushin it
queens of the south, crusaders, tranmere rovers… these teams will be the best winners today. good luck guys
Faustino how confident are you??????
Canny beat a bit of the double choc caramel tim-tams though.
am used tae it now the drive thru boozer up the road fae me had cans a tennants 24 for 50 insted of 120 coz it was goin out of date a thought ya dancer all take 3 ae them it ended up geein me a poundin heedache
haha ffs, i seen 12 bottles of irn bru wkds for 90 odd dollars in a booze shop in Perth. Where abouts in Oz are you based?
am in the north the now bennett springs just aff the reid highway moving tae whiteman edge in a few months when ma hoose is built
Lovely, still got residency and might go back at some point. Banters not the same with aussies, the football coverage isnt the same either, though im still a member of the Perth CSC, probably the best supporters club ive been in.
thats handy having residency aye some of there patter is shite.aye it seems there obsessed with the premier league and all other leagues are on setanta for a fee obv course. ave been in rosie ogradys a few times fur a few jars just not on game day wouldnt be very enjoyable for me lol

Right thats enough of the talk from the expats above fondly remembering standing in the terraces at places like Berwick and Montrose admiring the way the players adapted to the way the ball kept getting stuck in the mud by hoofing it in the air at every oportunity.Guess i cant really take the pish though being Irish ;)
My treble that is an obvious win is
Everton..playing piss poor Villa
Man United..playing inconsistant Fulham minus the Berbanator.
Q.P.R…any team that since the new year have prevented the likes of Man City,Spurs and Chelsea from scoring should have no fears from a Norwich team that havent won in 7 lg games and have only scored once in last 5 matches,ill put Q.P.R to win to nil on my bets but just to win on this.
Sean a used tae love betting on the Irish top and 2nd tier always got good winners wae them good for btts and over 2.5 goals anaw once the season gets goin but the bookies wise up and make teams really short priced
They may have been ok for betting BTTS but id rather cut my throat than watch them lol
