I'VE covered the Champions League elsewhere and with so many meaningless games it's tough to pick winners – and to be honest I don't want to do too much on the English games.
I'd rather watch paint dry than bet on Johnstone Paint Trophy matches so tread warily. I'd have taken Port Vale against a Bradford side fighting on all fronts but they are without banned top scorer Tom Pope.
The tournament could be good for goals though and I've included Southend v Brentford and Coventry v Sheffield Utd on my line and could easily have added the likes of Bury v Preston and Yeovil v Wycombe.
My Super Single is Southend who are on a fabulous run but I'll be checking team news before backing tham at 21-10 with Betway. Reports suggest Brentford will rest players ahead of a promotion crunch with MK Dons at the weekend.
And the top treble features Lincoln at home to a Woking side who lost 7-0 at Hyde at the weekend. Add Malaga and Schalke in the Champions League.
Malaga don't need to beat Anderlecht at home but can give their fans a final flourish before heading for the last 16 while Schalke will guarantee top spot in Group B with victory at Montpellier.

Hey paul woking got beat 7 – 0 on that over 2.5 goals market there playing again tonight and its 4/7 vs licoln . lincoln also have been in high scoring games so looks another value one.
im gonna go for that and olympiakos at home because just seen the team arsenal are taking and according to olympiakos enlish eversion website there wanting to give fans something to see and there putting out a full strength side. looks value at 11/8
olympiakos to beat arsenal 11/8 and woking vs lincoln over 2.5 goals 4/7) double
Callum, noticed and hopefully both Lincoln and Woking will score.
Lincoln over 3.5 looks good too
Dartford to beat nuneaton at 13/10, my banker for the night !
Olympiakos
Psg
Preston
Doncaster
Southend
1 returns 71.54.
Dartford ? Any reason for that
Hi Paul,
Crewe look a decent bet in the JPT tonight, they play Doncaster at home and Saunders has reported a bug is running through the team that left only 5 first team players available. (Crewe 2.3 Betfair)
Thoughts?
Lee, if that’s true and Doncaster are weakened then Crewe would be a good bet. Best to check starting line-ups.
Darford are the surprise team in that division,going really well, nuneaton are having a terrible time and bottom of the league. I also do a lot of betting in that league,usually involving bbts, but that is a good single bet at 13/10. Hope this helps.
Hi
Just thought I would let you know you put Hyde instead of Woking. Good luck tonight
Matt, had both in my head coz of Saturday. Will sort and change the Alfreton game.
4FOLD
Port Vale
Luton
Datrford
Yeovil
Olympiacos to score in the first half @ 1/1
PSG to score in both halves @ 21/10
Real-Ajax first half over 1.5 goals @ 21/20
Dortmund race to 2 goals @5/4
Doncaster to score in both halves @ 11/4
Wrexham game at Alfreton – OFF!
Chris, thanks, I’ll put in an alternative.
Danny never put that line on yesterday thankfully you were right about the Danes. A was wasted yesterday mate u got anything on for nites games bro. We were at Kristys that’s how a never phoned
naw mate ave no been borerin wae midweek games the times are 2 brutal would like to watch psg-porto should be some game psg better side but porto no mugs but needae be up early doors fur eh doctor
What you think of port vale ?
James, I would have fancied Port Vale if top scorer Tom Pope was playing but he’s banned and a big loss. Two others who played against Sheffield Utd at the weekend are suspended. This depends on how important the game is to Bradford who have an FA Cup replay and are also in the last eight of the League Cup.
Been thinking of a forfold, Sheff united, Preston, Brentford & Doncaster. But looking at previous comments Doncaster only have 5 1st team players available, might need to reconsider them. What you reckon about the other three?

Michael G, it’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy so anything goes. I wouldn’t advise betting much on it.
RealMadrid -1
BorussiaDortmund -1
Dynamo Kiev -2
50/1 , worth a couple of quid
a was wondering why doncaster were 11/4 2 score in both halves
Danny, they’re away from home, it’s the Johnstone Paint and it’s a double so that’s why.
mate you should never put your email up on a public site for everywan to see dont suppose your bothered but lol aye all send you a few the noo oi Ttaylor90 wit u dain shavin 5 years aff yer age
Danny, you’re right about the email address so I’ve trashed the comment.
Catania in the Coppa Italia @ 4/7 look good 2 me thrown in with a couple of others. Olympiakos btts and PSG btts could b added for a treble for me
It’s a small t to start you off mate. Chel made it up. It was a suggested one so that’s why she done it
paul what do you think of a hamilton side at evs? seem to have turned the corner in last few weeks and dumbarton are a very poor side
Cairnsy, both Scottish Cup games are off.
Paul what do you think of…
Sheff utd
Tamworth
Macclesfield
Yeovil
Port Vale
Lewis, have said how wary I am about Johnstone Paint and the fact Tom Pope is out for Port Vale casts a doubt over them.
just a btts line for tonight.
dortmund btts
ac milan btts
psg btts
plymouth btts
coventry btts
southend btts
£15 pays £300
i really think benfica will get a draw at least tomorro,but hope not.
How about Ajax +2 @ 5/6? As u’ve said elsewhere Paul,Real Madrid don’t have anything 2 play for and r playing a weakened team. Been impressed with Ajax too
Jonathan, again I’d like to see Real team but that could be a bet.
emday ever see these facebook pages with the tipsters cliaming want to make money youve come to the right page i am a professional tipper…i right wee man you couldny tip a wheelbarra fuula leaves fs tips are generaly s***e and wae no reasoning whatsoever. of course i drop in my bit about proper tips go to mrfixittips.co.uk
Danny never got pics mate. Can’t watch football Wayne has her panto at the school the nite was wanting to watch Dortmund v city
Wont be going to heavy on any stakes as motivation is questionable but Malaga & Olympiakos look favourable to win at home. Think the overs line in both games look very probable as Anderlect must push for the win to secure 3rd place and Arsenal must do the same to try and get top spot from Shalke. This should leave them vunerable to the home side. On the flip side both home teams will want to go out on a high. There is alot of reasoning to make a case for both these bets but by the same token no one quite knows until we actually see things up and running. It may pay to bet in running when we have a better idea exactly how each team is going to address their respective games.
Paddywack, I think inrunning will be popular tonight as you say. Vital to see confirmation of line-ups and what sort of commitment players are giving in games where little or nothing is at stake.
ya numpty ye a send the pics and a said in the email why a was going to doctors anaw to the address you gave me so some random person now has the email. i just tell chel tae video the weeyins panto lol last wan a went tae a wis sweatin still blottered fae the night be4 nearly whittyin in the drive up
It’s the hole school mate. Won’t be able to film it bro.
Danny a got it mate. She will be happy with that wee car looks a decent wee one quite smart to mare
On your btts tonight Mr fixit apart from the blue square game. Like the look of btts this weekend, southampton v reading wigan v qpr everton v spurs man city v man utd and west ham v liverpool
Mr Broke it, Premier League had loads of goals last weekend and I’ll definitely be on some of the ones you’ve mentioned.
Ibrahimovic to score at anytime evens Paddy Power
Ibrahimovic to score two or more 6/1 Paddy Power
Dortmund and Olympiakos double. May do a treble with Malaga also, unsure though!
for anyone that’s interested, paddy power are refunding all losing first goalscorer bets on champions league games tonight, if your player scores anytime. that’s for phone and text bets only though. anyone got any tips for first scorer bets tonight?
Luke, I’ve tipped Ibrahimovic. Would also look at Huntelaar and Benzema if he starts. Maybe Lewandowski if he plays against Man City. Has been linked with a move to Utd so will be out to show what he can do.
£40 double
Malaga & Schalke. Pays £168 with PP
Backed it , hope your on to a winner!
First goalscorers gotta fancy
Ibrahimabich and huntellar
Just put bet on with PP £10 double ibrahimavich and huntellar pays £220 but if they score a second in the game odds will be doubled 7/2 & 4/1 odds where.
Mickey, good luck with the bets. I’m off for a quick bite then to the pub for Olympiakos v Arsenal. I should really be going Greek tonight – anyone for a feta cheese salad?
Dinamo zagreb anyone think its a good bet?
James, again I’ve covered them in my piece. Jury seems to be out but I quite fancy them with a new coach.
Going to go for it paul odds are great cheers
thanks for the tips guys. will look at line ups in an hour and take it from there. not interested in any win bets tonight, I don’t fancy any teams at all really, dodgy night for us punters, and good advice already given by Paul and few others to not bother going big tonight. best wait for more meaningful games
Hi Paul i’ve been doing good bit of studying these 5 and hope they come up trumps
Lincoln – on fire at the moment
Crewe – Doncaster have 11 players out
Olympiacos – Arsenal have take reserve team
Malaga – playing really well points 2 a home win
PSG – need to win to top the group and with home advantage think they will
£20 on and £500 return
Adrian, you put up sound reasoning for all five but the line is still struggling. It just shows you can do all the groundwork in the world and almost anything can happen once the first whistle goes.
paddy power doubling the odds on 1st gl scorer tomorrow in Celtic game 28/1 for mulgrew, gonna have some of that lke. 8/1 Hooper also, great offer
Craig, that’s a great offer if you can pick the winner. Mulgrew has as good a chance as any.
Stuck in work so cant check the odds, Anyone know what a
malaga
schalke
Dortmund
£15 treble would return with sky bet?
much appreciated if anyone knows!
Adrian, like the look of your bet, and like the fact you briefly explain why you’ve picked them too. where did you place the bet? what odds did you get for Olympiacos?
Hey paul what i was saying earlier the press should have listened to there actaully website there putting out a full strength side (olympiakos) .
arsenals first team cant handle swansea this greek side n front of a full crowd aint gonna do much
i have olympiakos to win and woking, lincoln over 2.5 but ill be putting on a drop on the -1 olympakos (9/4)
this looks like a 3-0 to olympiakos
Lewandowski is on the bench for Bayern. anyone know who is the likeliest player to score first for Olympiacos?
for Dortmund I meant. and Huntelaar is on bench for schalke too
can’t argue with the price for lincoln !!!!!
luke!!!! Djamel Abdoun is a goal scorer and hes olympiakos main penalty taker so it looks value at 11/1 first goal scorer or even back him in 90 mins (10/3)
What’s happened with the Bury v Preston game, has it been called off or is it on tomorrow night?
Waterlogged pitch, game is off. Won’t be tomorrow night !
bury -postponed, waterlogged
Malaga 3 Anderlecht 0
PSG 1 Porto 2
Montpellier 0 Schalke 2
Dortmund 1 Man city 0
Real Madrid 3 Ajax 1
Done all these as singles.
Ac Milan V Zenit, Zenit WIN
Arsenal draw
DOUBLE
Nuneaton V Dartford, Dartford win, big money SINGLE !!
not many scores going to plan ?????
well none are out yet put it that way !!
second half to go, and a few look quite good, don’t want to peak too soon !
Weasel, watched first half of the Arsenal game in the pub but that’s enough for me. Arsenal is maybe the only surprise so far considering the team they’ve put out.
Nuneaton just going 1 nil up against Dartford makes things bad though, the amount i chucked on a dartford win.
I have 6/12 scored at half time so cant complain
super single looking good again mr fixit.
James, Southend are on a good run and led to believe Brentford were resting some players.
think teams are wanting to come 2nd in champs league to avoid Celtic haha ma coupons look done already
PSG 1 Porto 2
Montpellier 0 Schalke 2
Dortmund 1 Man city 0
Real Madrid 3 Ajax 1
Done all these as singles.
Ac Milan V Zenit, Zenit WIN

Need a winner from Olympiacos then blow the whistle lol
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
£50 treb
man city
olympiacos
psg
why did i take man city idiots.
all winning except for lincoln. gutted about that!
Adrian, bit of a surprise Lincoln’s defeat against a side who lost 7-0 at the weekend. Beating the btts as well.
jist noticed the crewe rest as well against donnie who struggled 2 field a team so wouldn’t have mattered anyway :-(
Adrian, Doncaster equalised late but went out on pens because they didn’t have enough people to take them.
ac milan goal and man city for my btts,too little to late again i fear.my poor run continues
Cheers for the single, unfortunately i lost the rest of my bets but the single covered me so not complaining
Yesss late goal from brentford for btts 4 fold thanks Mr fixit :) glad i left blue square game off
Mr Broke It, what can I say, my usual 4 out of 5.
Dortmund 1 Man city 0
Thats all i won on tonight !
Chris, it’s never easy doing correct scores.
I know, had Real madrid too coming in till the 88th Minute.
Told me mate southend at 8/5 and callejon 9/1 2 goals or more, but didn’t listen to myself and put it on !
Chris, that was a good shout on Callejon.
Indeed my mate done well off his tenner for the double…. next time i’m going to listen to myself !
Good shout though from yourself, Southend.
Think i’ll leave tomorrow alone…. and have ago at the europa thursday.
Chris, I think he should buy us both a drink! Tomorrow is another tricky night and not much is standing out for me.
Already having alittle look at the europa –
Ath Madrid 9/5
Marseille 6/4
Napoli 3/4
Kazan 6/4
Metalist Kharkiv 5/6
5 Fold @ 55/1
Tottenham V Panathinaikos / Panathinaikos WIN @ 10/1
Chris, you’re way ahead of me. I’m still on tomorrow.
well its going to be s.donetsk and barca both draws tomorro i am lumping on this.
James, I see the Shakhtar draw is now odds on.
Pfftt my Dortmund, kiev, Malaga treble was looking good right until the last few minutes of Malaga game
Striker, surprised Malaga let it go in the end but again it didn’t matter.
Malaga done me for £275 losing that 89th minute goal and I got 9/10 in btts
Talk about hitting the crossbar!!!!!
Andy, that’s a sore one. I also had 9/10 and Lincoln, the one that beat me, looked the side most likely to score before kick-off.
Mr fixit i think alot of your followers prem anyway. i was worried hearing brentford was playing a second string team tonight after i put the bet on
Does anyone know the price for Celtic to qualify tomorrow nyte?
Mr Broke It, I’ve seen 1-2 at William Hill.
1-2 is very short consider their bottle usually crashes in matches that mean something. Celtic have barca to rely on so happy days for them
Tony, the prices are very short, a best 3-5 at Paddy Power to win the match, but bookies taking into account the Barca defeat at Parkhead and the fact Spartak are out. Of course we don’t know if a win will be good enough but Barca will probably beat Benfica.
Looked like it was going to be a great night until Malaga conceded in the 89th minute. Thats footie 1 double up so profit made. Will put something up for tomorrow. Nite guys.
Paddy, I’ve had my whack too. Going to walk the dug and try not to fall on my erse on the ice then watch tonight’s CL highlights. Back in the morning.
If Celtic win then they deserve to go through. They would probably get a better run in europa.
i will go with a btts in the celtic game and celtic to win……..
Paul “Mr Fixit” – Quiz Master
Are you the guy Paul from the quiz show:
THE CHASE????
It’s on every day between 5pm – 6pm ITV
?????????????????????????
Andrew, if he’s good looking then yes that’s me.
Surely 0-0 in the juve game tomorrow at 4/1 has got to be bet any thoughts they will just play for a stalemate surely
Craig, the conspiracy theorists will have a field day if it’s a draw and look that way.
my bets are going to be from the other side of world 2 morro, sau paulao 5/4 (great value) union espanola 3/4 and deportes tolima could also be worth a punt, decent prices
take tolima out, debrecen 7/10 instead :D wont be far away
the celtic spartak game has been priced up as if its a big gun at home to a mediocre team not capable of giving a game a dont think this is the case at all the table and form suggest spartak are rubbish but look at there 4 main men well over priced too net anytime emenike 11/4 ari 10/3 welliton 10/3 dzyuba 7/2 first half handicap spartak +1 8/13 looks good
Am taking them to win mate along with shakhtar, lille, an some of the home favourites. Hills sheet has them (4-1) however dim that a think was on smack. It just so u take Celtic like a sucker. Slight favourites maybe to have Spartak at (4-1) is worth a punt no think so Danny boy
aye mate a do think there worth summit @ 4-1 also i think +1 first half handicap looks a steal at 8/13 for a big single and a dont fancy lille mate valencia a better football side a might be wrong but dont hink lille can make europa bate better h2h or goal difference or summit
mate a just noticed spartak have jumped up too 6/1 if u take them put it on a bet slip and put 6/1 next to it sted of 4/1 on sheet the people @ your bookies are snd/daft enough not to bother but dont say anythin too them
Will they not wonder why am writing it on a slip mate a fancy lille. Shakhtar. Valencia got pumped at weekend mate. Just cause they are at home bro. The odds for lille, shakhtar, Spartak are crazy
mate is the betfred still up yours if so stick it on in there offering well better odds for the 3 ae them to win
To late mate.
Barca
Spartak
Shakhtar
Man utd
Lille
Bayern
Chelsea
2.50 returns 206 odds here’s hoping bro.
Imagine it came up an a never stuck a tenner on.
some difference in price mate your 7fold in betfred 2.50 returns 324 extra 118 for the sake of stoatin roon the corner
betfred – shakhtar lille spartak 45/1
What odds did they have for shakhtar, lille, an Spartak mate
Keen to see today’s piece Paul, I’m wondering why the prices on the Lille Valencia game have changed so much, I was thinking Valencia as they are jockeying for top spot, earlier they were 11/8 and now 9/5 ??
Darren, piece is up now. Not sure what’s going on with Lille v Valencia. The game doesn’t really mean much to either side because Bayern will win and Lille can’t even finish third.
God some difference mate but a would be happy with that for 2.50. Lottery the nite mate would rather win that but prob win nothing same old bro. If your phone rings early on Thursday morning a have won the lottery
A just dropped Aimee at school an went straight up the square. A have been putting odd line recently in betfred mate
Lincoln done canny!
