IT'S a busy night in the English and Scottish top flights but it's El Clasico that ticks all the boxes.
Football fans can't get enough of the Real Madrid v Barcelona rivalry – and no wonder with two of the best players on the planet on show in the shape of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The Spanish giants meet in the first leg of a Spanish Cup semi-final showdown and there should be goals, goals, goals.
Sixteen have been netted in their last four meetings so over 3.5 goals at 23-20 at sportingbet seems the obvious bet.
As it's a first-leg showdown there will be a certain amount of sparring involved but the fact Real will be without No.1 keeper Iker Casillas and three first-choice defenders in Pepe, Sergio Ramos and Fabrio Coentrao should play into the hands of the hungry Messi.
Last weekend Messi and Ronaldo netted seven goals between them so of course the dynamic duo will be all the rage when it comes to betting on scorers.
Ronaldo is 7-2 (various) to bag the opener while Messi is 10-3 at the likes of Skybet and William Hill. Picking one is a tough choice so it might bet better consider Ronaldo to score at 9-10 with BetVictor and Messi at 3-4 with sportingbet.
As far as the game's concerned I don't expect Barcelona, a best 7-5 at the likes of Ladbrokes and William Hill, to lose but they may happy enough with a draw that allows them to finish off the tie in the Nou Camp.
Elsewhere on the continent Benfica and Porto are in a different class from the rest in Portugal so Benfica should be backed in the cup at Pacos Ferreira. Best odds are 1-2 from William Hill and others.
Anderlecht, 4-7 at 888sport, should beat Genk at home to seal a Belgian Cup final meeting place. Both have scored in four of the last five meetings and that pays 8-11 at bet365.
My African Nations Cup tips Ivory Coast are in action against Algeria but the favourites are already through and Algeria out after two defeats.
It doesn't mean anything to Ivory Coast who will make changes but they still look a decent bet at 3-4 with 888sport. If he starts try Didier Drogba at 5-1 with Coral to celebrate his switch to Galatasaray with the opener.
After last night's anytime scorers disaster – one player injured in 10 minutes, one not starting and one postponed – I'm reluctant to put another treble.
However, if anyone fancies it players I've already flagged up of course include Ronaldo, Messi, Drogba, Olivier Giroud and Robin van Persie.
There is also Emmanuel Adebayor for Togo v Tunisia and back at home the likes of Newcastle's Demba Ba, St Mirren's Steven Thompson, Inverness's Billy McKay and Celtic's Gary Hooper. So there's plenty of choice for followers of this market. If pressed I'd go Giroud, Thompson and Hooper.
So here are my top tips for tonight.
Top Treble
Ivory Coast (5.0)
Benfica (8.0)
Anderlecht (7.0)
Pays a biggest £41.20 to a £10 stake at Blue Square
Super Single
West Ham (8.0)
(13-5, BetVictor)
Real Madrid v Barcelona (8.0)
Reading v Chelsea
Fulham v West Ham (8.0)
Man United v Southampton (8.0)
St Mirren v Inverness
Perm any 4 and all 5 (6 bets)
Pays a biggest £117.70 to a £10 stake at Stan James
In December 2020 we sadly 
El Classico looks tough one to call so have gone for both Ronaldo and Messi to score. Skybet doing enhanced odds of 5-2 for this.
Regarding your super single bets in general. are these your bet of the day?
Tommy, it’s just a single that I hope comes up but it will never be below evens so depends on how you stake whether it’s one for you or not. The treble tends to feature the shorter-priced teams.
William hill sign got blown off and killed someone,
What were the odds on that?!
Adam, where was that?
A friend of a New Zealand man killed by a hoarding that fell off a betting shop in London has paid tribute to the young lawyer, saying he was likeable and clever.
Jacob Marx, 27, was walking on Camden Rd, north London, on Monday evening (UK time) when the metal hoarding from a William Hill shop came off in high winds and crashed on top of him, splitting his head open.
Mr Marx, originally from Gisborne, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest.
He was treated at the scene but died later in University College Hospital, the Daily Mail reported.

thanks fixit
dav
Bit of a gutsy one here. But I’m backing Arsenal, Manchester united, Real Madrid and St johnstone all to draw.
Liverpool seem long overdue to, and I’d imagine it’s probably united’s turn to get singed, thought I doubt Southampton can manage a victory and both Real Madrid, and St Johnstone are pretty evenly matched. While I wouldn’t stick my house on it, at 208.91 it’s worth a pound of my money.
btw when is the lottery on a wednesday 10.30
Danny, i think that’s right.
That will be me up till about 8am the football doesnt finish till 5.30 so its not to bad
Well done Mr F congratulations

Double on both teams -1goal and
Correct score doubles 2-0 and 3-0 for each
hope it dusny happen coz it will ruin the games but
red card double
Arsenal-Liverpool

I’m leaning towards Man U win, Celtic -1 & Arsenal/Liverpool btts treble or maybe go Man U -1 or replace arsenal match wi real/barca btts.
Messi to score two or more 11/4
Messi to hit the woodwork 5/1
Puyol to score at anytime 16/1
Not bothering with anything else tonight!
Like your bet on red cards Danny worth wee sky diver double me thinks :)
At the prices gotta be RM 21/10, Liverpool 13/5 and Ross County 6/4. Trixie or doubles/treble
in saying that be delighted if they all finish 2-2 tho!!

hahasport is normally quite good
Milesey.
Chris, try vipbox, that’s how we’re watching here.
VIPBOX has way too many adds on it, hahasport is the best alday long ! ;) ;)
Milesey.
Milesey, works well on my mac, no problems with it.
If your linking it up to watch on a tele, then NUTJOB or CRICFREE give the best picture, not all this pizalated rubbish, that you can’t see when the screen is alot bigger.
Milesey.

Liverpool 1-0 Suarez
Fourfold enite
BTTS – El Classico, Fulham – West, Reading – Chelsea and Man U to win
Mr Fixit, sent you an email about the Unlucky Line of the Week mate

It’s always the case that Arnie

I’ll second that Arnie, i only looked at the Barca Real game, totally overlooked the Everton game and i too always do Baines(well not this evening)
Ivan Sproule..good signing for RC…scores goals wherever he goes.
Dunno how theres no goals in RM v FCB…cood be 3-3
Guido, hope they get their finger out as need it for btts. Two up so far but also two 0-0s and a 1-0. Halfway there I suppose.
Think they stopped televising it in th eNe’er on wednight live Paul..Im not expert it wasn’t [articulalry great viewing..Jenny Falconer was allright…but a touch skinny/sinewy for me! ;-)
the fact of the matter is Paul or Admin will have to open an account with them coz it cant very well be left to a punter with one
Waiting on Madrid and reading to score for Btts 4 fold! C’mon!
According to Flash Scores Reading haven’t had an attempt on goal?? That doesn’t bode well…..
Anyone know what you win/if anything from 8 draws out of 10,not all score draws on the pools? need west brom to equalize.
YEEEEESSSS!!!!! GET IN READING!!!!
Reading scores get in
Al, can’t believe Reading scored. 5 out of 5 at last.
Al, can’t believe Reading scored. 5 out of 5 at last.
Paul can you believe I never even done btts
Great night for BTTS!
Had the Arsenal, Norwich, Mancs, Reading and Real games!
Nice little return for a Wednesday! :D
Well done Mr F!
5 at last m8 nice 1
Paul still hoping you get 4 draws up one weekend mate.
Chris, re the draws, could have done it tonight if I’d put them up. Did a 2-2 Arsenal v Liverpool Bonkers Bet in the Record and on the site tipped draws at Norwich, Reading and Real Madrid. I did the Arsenal 2-2 correct score single and some singles and doubles on the draws but not three or four. After the reader in the Record who did three 2-2s to win £20k tonight I tried Arsenal 2-2, Reading 2-2 and St Mirren 2-2, doubles and a treble, so one goal beat me for around £15k. It’s a silly bet but I’m having a go at the 2-2s for the next couple of weeks.
reading at the death 2-2
Chelsea are definitely the comedy team of the year so far! Brilliant! :D
I will stick £15 on your draws religiously until one hits for a £2.5k payout!!
That’s pretty embarrassing for Chelsea
Glad I never backed Chelsea, got 2 bets up. I’m not sure hw arsenal got back in2 it tho.
Nice one Mr F. Been following you for a short time and really impressed.
chelshit just ruined my day just after oscar hoof did me on the horses
Finally Mr F, a BTTS comes in, like i said earlier today is a good day for Mr Fixits Tips and Milesey
Lotto numbers 9.10.43
Thank you Mr. F, your BTTS bets came through and now am gonna celebrate with the money you won me, cheers mate. Can’t believe all the teams in the premier league scored lol.
Well I’m in competition
110 from my tenner for Btts happy days! Cheers reading:)
