FIRSTLY, apologies for not putting up today's top tips earlier but I had a night out and didn't want to give the credit to Paolo Peroni.
Anyway they say good things come to those who wait – as it does at the Cheltenham Festival when you're standing in a massive queue waiting for a pint of the black stuff.
So here goes with today's treble – and I'm on rum and coke, followed by a gin and tonic and finishing off with a pint of Belhaven Best. Only joking, folks, I'm off the booze until Tuesday so for the real deal I'm on Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid.
There are some huge games but calling the Milan derby is tough although I can see goals there while I've promised not to touch the 8pm French match. It's PSG v Marseille and the home side look no value at around 1-2.
Bayer, on the other hand, are worth a look at 5-6 with BetVictor at managerless Greuther Furth. Bayer have been a bit hit and miss but still sit third in the Bundesliga and should have too much firepower for a side who have scored in only one of their last five matches and are rooted to the foot with no home wins (four goals) and just three draws from 11 games all season.
That record helped earn Buskens the sack despite winning promotion the previous seasona and Under-23 coach Ludwig Preis will be in charge until a successor is found.
Add Borussia Dortmund who recovered from a hammering at home to Hamburg by drawing at Shakhtar in the Champions League then flooring Frankfurt in the league.
That Hamburg loss looks a blip and I expect Dortmund to win at a Borussia Moenchengladbach outfit 5-0 earlier in the season. The home men have won one out of five in the Bundesliga and are mid-table mediocrity at best. Back Borussia at 4-6 (various).
Complete the treble with Atletico Madrid who are 2-5 at Paddy Power and BetVictor at home to Espanyol.
The good news is Falcao's back and he netted the winner at Rubin Kazan in the Europa League in midweek. He was one of only two first-choice players to start as Atletico went out 2-1 on aggregate and that selection shows they have only one thing on their minds – making the Champions League.
Atletico of course are in a good position and sit second ahead of Real Madrid thanks to a perfect home record – 12 wins out of 12 with 33 goals scored and just six conceded.
It's better than even Barcelona – who have drawn once – and Espanyol, despite five wins in six, are likely to go the way of all the others.
Falcao is 5-2 with William, Paddy Power and BetVictor to score first and I'll be on the Colombian.
I've had a good look at the both teams to score market and put up five selections. My reasoning is sound but no time to do a big write-up as I'm heading out to watch the first half of Scotland beat Ireland in the rugby (Milesey says it will be a home win so that's good enough for me).

In December 2020 we sadly 
I’ve went in heavy on Dundee United at EVENS. When I seen the coupon on Friday they were the team that stood out to me. EVENS is too good a price and is still available in-shop at Hills. Best of luck to everyone having a punt today.
James, I like United but you have to respect the fact Hibs have stopped conceding silly goals and have kept three clean sheets in four. Still will do well to stop the likes of Gary Mackay-Steven and Johnny Russell.
waiting on roma cagliari leverkusen dortmund 3 other games up yesterday £1 acc for £101 hopefully money to play with midweek
swansea -1 evs and dundee utd evs my tip of the day
I was gonna back Arsenal to finish 3rd @ 4/1 but instead done a tricast with United 1st, City 2nd and Arsenal 3rd – got 11/2.
Btts in a Man city win @ 5/2. Nice price i think so had a wee snifter. Good luck all :)
I’ve gone along with your recommended treble and have added Swansea to see off Bradford for a 4-Fold. I’m still deciding whether to back Swansea to beat the handicap. At 5/4 it’s very tempting…
Just want to thank the lads on here that so very nearly took a decent chunk out my Quest with the help on my bet on the Back n Lay market on Betfair, unfortunately Middlesborough done me for £523 but appreciate the picks that nearly got my Quest a decent start.
1plus2, that’s worth trying again but put it up earlier when we’re not half asleep.

Lay AZ Alkmaar v Breda @ 1.53″”
Looking good after 5 minutes ;)
Milesey
Lay of the day BTTS?
No have Layed AZ ALKMAAR ;)
Milesey
what you think should i take AZ Alkmaar in play??
I wouldn’t personally but down to you, they haven’t scored at home in 6 games out of 11 in the league, and at 4/9 to win the game was absolutely stupid, and Breda at 11/2 are by far the better team on form, and when taking a 1-0 lead, normally go on to win 3-0, but we’ll see.
Milesey
I’ve gone with a score on Swansea -1. Fingers crossed
That’s twice this weekend I’ve been done by someone missing a penalty. Lamps today and that useless binner twat Walters yesterday…. :(
thanks to mrfixit just lifted 172 pounds great tips paul done a 10 on swansea.dundee.u.a madrid.b.leverkusen cheers again paul

Quite a lotta empty spaces at Wemblers in the dear seats…tut tut :-(
Tank
Can u smell something:-) :-) :-)
Shite from dortmund. Wrecked a treble and a foursome. Have them in a btts line though.
How confident are you of a atletico Madrid win mr fixit? Espanyol unbeaten in 6 I think n doing well since the new manager took over not saying they’ll win but maybe their capable of snatching a draw? What you reckon
Mat H, most of Espanyol’s good scores at home. Atletico 100 per cent record at home so I’m confident but not over confident.
Who fancies malaga tonight?
I do and already on them @12/5 ;) ;) think that is a massive price and couldn’t leave it alone, against Betis team who have been very poor.
Milesey
Mileseys on Malaga like a rash..akin to being on Cheryl Cole if invited!! ;-)
Looks like half the slack jawed scarlet faced middle aged spread brigadein the dear seats at Wembaleeeee are staying in hospitality taking a skinful trying to chat up the dolly burd waitresses with crap jokes and watching the match on the telly rather than sit on their fat arses in their overly inflated priced seats…pish attitude!! :-)

Nice one there with Breda Milesey
Guido, what you on tonight? A Madrid to win and Milans btts ? anything else?
Not keen on Ath Mad at that price Dave so not doing anything. They should win but Espanyol not to be underestimated…home runs have to come to an end at some point Thinking about AC Milan (no doubt Ballotelli will score) Malaga, Racing Club?…
yeah i know what you mean about runs ending. I like btts i try to avoid picking winners but AM are good at home. I am not so sure about Malaga, games after CL in the week are always tricker than expected. The milan darby should be a btts its just finding a few more with it. I may try racing as the tip if i win anything before they kick off.
Guido, Falcao first scorer was best bet and he’s just done it.
Still waiting on Swansea to NIL, already got Michu anytime. ;) ;)
Milesey
Milesey…what ya get on quicker tonite Malaga or Cheryl C?
Al, give it rest. Who cares if you believe him or not.

ELCHE kicking off in 1min. Very Good at home and odds of 1.50 on bet365
Crumbled and went for a treble of first scorers each way, Cisse, Hooper (after considering Ledley but wanted safe) and Michu… Not quite the hundreds I would have got if they’d scored first but £21 back from £5 to ease my losses a little
Some hunches for correct scores tonight PSG 2-2 Marseille (20/1!!) Real Betis 1-2 Malaga (10/1, River Plate 1-0 Tigre
Celtic -3 ,man city-1 ,swansea -2 and why did a stick bayern lever on the line why oh why
Same here Mitchell !! Cost me a fortune, battered them as well
Ross yesterday as well crystal palace
Swansea game was the easiest money I’ve won all weekend. Game never seemed in doubt from earlier on, great odds on Michu to score and Swansea to win at 6/4.
Took a little treble for tonight;
Falcao to score 1st (which he just did, ya beauty)
Mario Balotelli to score anytime
Malaga to win
£10 returns £237 so let’s hope for a nice wee end to the weekend.
Andy, couldn’t see past Swansea. Surprised Racing Post today tipped Bradford.
in play espanyol to win???
Andy, against 10 men, possibly. I’d leave it 10 minutes or so to see how it looks.
Any tips for the games tonight Paul? I’ve got a both teams to score line still running and am waiting on the Betis game for £124.
James, I’ve tipped goals at the San Siro but wait and see what the pitch is like, think it was a doubt earlier with the snow. Also looks a draw to me and maybe Marseille draw no bet at PSG but don’t like that late French one.
got Atletico to win on a 5 fold all others won can take £70 or wait out for result for £130????
Andy I’d wait it out, can’t see Atletico not winning this
Weordie, r u watching? Is it backs to the wall for the 10 men?
I was watching, wife made me switch over though
when I was watching it looked likely to finish 1-0 though, possibly 2-0
Paul well done with Falcao
Two good tips today, Ledley and Russell, i still don’t have the betting balls for 1st goalscorer so i’m sticking with anytime…cheers again guys :-)
Just tuned back in and Espanyol missed a glaring chance. Atletico looking like they’re trying to hold out now, Espanyol looking like they couldn’t score all day
Castro first goal @6/1
Castro 2-0 @55/1
Castro3-1@100/1
Betis 2-1@9/1

Mat H eloquently describes and vents his frustration at a perceived below par performance by Malaga ;-)

ESPN classic only free if you have ESPN
I’ve not got espn but have classic so your wrong mate
Guido there’s nothing funny about losing money to the bookies
Tell me about it Mat…par foir the course, better to laff than cry tho…makes the wins more sweeter :-)
Mat, can you tone it down please or keep your thoughts to yourself no matter how frustrated you are.

Santos @1/1 half time? Anyone have any thoughts?
Gunner, speak to your nan then. A few winners put up today and some losers.
Mr F where do u think i should put My Quest posts what section would be best and most seen ?
1plus2, I’d put them on the end of the Mr Fixit’s tips piece for that day. As a result of people not knowing where to post last Friday – the one day I don’t usually have time to do tips – I’m going to create posts every morning even if the tips are not written up. You’ll see an example of that now.
