BARCELONA let loads of people down last night despite claiming their place in the Spanish Cup quarter-finals.
They raced into a 2-0 lead against Espanyol in 25 minutes but neither side added to the scoreline.
So my double with Bruges to win was one goal short and that was disappointing even though it could have been covered.
Tonight the focus will be on Yeovil as they take on Man United in the FA Cup with big-money signing Alexis Sanchez set to make his debut. Should be a big win for the Red Devils.
It was 2-0 when the sides met in the Cup in 2015 and since then Yeovil's standard has dropped while United are on the up. Yeovil are fourth bottom of League Two and United should at least match the 2-0 scoreline.
The other tie tonight is Sheffield Wednesday v Reading and the Championship rivals have twice drawn 0-0 this campaign. In the Scottish Championship I fancy leaders St Mirren at Dunfermline even though they haven't won in five at East End and lost there 3-0 earlier in the season.
Saints are by far the better team but that record worries so I'll take them not to lose.
In Turkey there should be a home win for Besiktas against Kasimpasa. Besiktas haven't lost in the league in front of their own fans for two years and should shrug off the loss off top scorer Cenk Tosun.
They have enough attacking power in the shape of Ryan Babbel, Alvaro Negredo and Anderson. Besiktas are short at 1-3 which is fine on a treble with Man Utd -1 and St Mirren not to lose.
There are plenty of games in Europe to look at including French Ligue 2 and Jupiler League and I expect Greg to post his tips later.

Happy Australia Day folks!
Been out with the family, and quite rightly having a barbeque in this lovely summer weather. Quick post today.
Melbourne Victory v Sydney FC:
Victory have seen Djulbic walk from the club, but Deng is back from injury. Sydney are at a full squad except for long term absentee Grant. Victory come into this match trying to build a run after their last couple of wins, but they are outclassed against today’s opponents. I fancy the Sky Blues to nick an early lead and see this out.
Sydney – score before 40th min @ evens
Sydney FC – over 1.5 team goals @ 1.83
And also as a measure of cover… over 1 first half goal @ 1.70
Australian A league
Sydney no clean sheet.
won!!
Morning all, had decent success on some of the friendlies recently. Couple today I like the look of today for goals:
Stromsgodset v Bodo/Glimt (12pm)
Ullensaker/Kisa v Stabaek (1pm)
Over 2.5 match goals double is shade over Evens
Hopefully give me some pennies to follow the France/Holland tips later..
Do you like the look of the lyngby, midtylland and kiev games??
Hi Aarron just seen this, Midtjylland games usually good for goals, not sure on the other two. I do try not to get carried away with stakes to be fair as they are friendlies after all
Glen Loovens 50/1 first goal. 16/1 any time scorer. Got to be worth a small punt.
In play
Small stake on Barbarouses AT @ 10/3
Only just getting used to watching the A-League. Had no idea the refs were so liberal handing out yellow cards. Will have to bear this in mind in future!
Aww man. No 365 access so forgot all about pens in the victory game this morn ???
Yeah I’m kicking myself for not going for pens, usually do as well! Had looked at Sydneys card record and they only had more than 2 cards in 10% of matches so went on that…..should’ve known that would change against the Victory!!
Yeah mate although not a same city derby they call it the big blue derby and it usually gets feisty
Victory getting utterly served here after a really good first half.
There 3.5+ mgls punt I made last night suddenly doesn’t seem quite so idiotic. I was thinking I must have gone mad when I woke up and saw I’d put that on.

Reflects the chance of it occurring Mr tips.
7/4 is still a big price in betting terms old al good luck
Firstly NINE goals doesn’t reflect a 7/4 shot winning.,it reflects the the bookie’s opinion
Secondly 7/4 is NOT a big price in betting terms a 25/1 shot is
oops-a daisy
7/4 is a big price in betting terms where i come from and you can understand the price given the league the games are played in,25/1 is a long shot.
From where I come from? what’s that got to do with a bookies price?
Size is relative – ask our gert.

Not enough corners in the Israeli Cup last night, but no real harm done as it was just a half stake.
I think it’s a bit of a tricky card tonight. A couple of half stake efforts again so that any potential damage is minimal.

Mechelen v Mouscron
Dunfermline v St Mirren

I’ll have some off the 1.5 Leroy. Been following you for a while. Strong odds and happy with 19/20 to 5/4 various.
Great odds as always. Top man ?
Cheers @shortee, it has been a good month.
I’ve always felt that as important as finding value in the odds is, it’s equally as important getting the stakes right. I don’t post points but I try to give some indication with my confidence. Half stakes on a dodgy card, as with last night and tonight, means that all three of those bets could end up losing and it would have little damage on the month.
I’d be more than happy nailing an 8/11 shot at a hefty stake than looking to add an extra selection, get the odds up to evens and then just end up reducing the stake anyway.
Appreciate the words. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
Happy as double winners. All I have to say.
Proud of you ⚽️
Hi gents. Quick one as I’m out tonight. Eerste action on a Friday and I’m on Telstar to deliver the -1 on the AH against a struggling AZ youth.

Afternoon gents
France and Holland from me as always on a Friday
GFC Ajaccio v Bourg KO 7pm
It’s been a good week for the hosts
Two wins, two clean sheets and more notably a fine 2-0 home win against promotion chasing Nimes. They welcome a Bourg side who lets say don’t enjoy away trips. They have lost 9 consecutive Ligue 2 matches, conceding at least 2 goals in each of those which is a horrible record.
Momentum definitively with the hosts and I’m taking them to continue their strong start to 2018
