The victory boosted Paul Lambert's side's...

MAY 4: MILESEY’S BET OF THE DAY

Rochdale 2.5 v Plymouth 3.1; The Draw 3.35 JOHN SHERIDAN is pleased Plymouth have their destiny in their own hands to avoid relegation. Victory at Rochdale would do it and is a stronger possibility than the odds suggest. Keith Hill's men might have only lost once in seven but...

APRIL 20: MILESEY’S SINGLE OF THE DAY

Hartlepool V Brentford, Saturday, 5.20pm MILESEY won the single wars on Friday as he posted Borussia M'gladbach before we. Hopefully my view added some insurance to the tip and Borussia duly won at a handy price. I can't be accused of copying Milesey's single this time although Brentford are...

APRIL 19: HULL v BRISTOL CITY BETTING TIPS

Friday, 7.45pm, Live on Sky Sports 1 ALTHOUGH Steve Bruce’s Hull were beaten 1-0 at struggling Wolves on Tuesday, Watford’s defeat at Millwall meant they actually inched towards the promised land. A win at home to rock-bottom City here will ensure only defeats in their last two games could...

APRIL 17: MILESEY’S LAY OF THE DAY

FULHAM shrugged of their last-gasp defeat at St James’ Park by getting a hard-fought point at Aston Villa on Saturday. That result means it’s now just one defeat in seven for Martin Jol’s side and they will be hopeful of extending that good record back on home soil. Craven...

APRIL 17: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

I'LL put up my thoughts on Man City v Wigan, Fulham v Chelsea and West Ham v Man Utd later but here are Milesey's predictions. Man City v Wigan It’s a cliche-ridden accident waiting to happen. Just count the amount of times you hear the words “dress rehearsal” in...

APRIL 14: CHELSEA v MAN CITY TIPS

Leicester v Birmingham, 7.45pm, Live on Sky Sports 2 ONCE again Leicester are chosen for live Championship coverage (Sky haven’t yet answered my e-mail as to whether their head of football hails from the city) but they have made for painful viewing for their fans in recent weeks. However,...

APRIL 10: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

APRIL 7: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

I PICKED four out of four on the English Premier League card yesterday – but obviously didn't put them up as a fourfold. Away wins for Aston Villa, Southampton and Arsenal and a draw at Norwich would have paid around 60-1 – and I'd have been ridiculed for suggesting...

APRIL 7: QPR v WIGAN TIPS

Loftus Road, Sunday, 4.10pm AS far as relegation six-pointers go they don’t come much bigger than this – with the hosts looking increasingly likely to be kicking off next season in the second tier. Harry Redknapp’s side have suffered unforgivable defeats at the hands of Aston Villa and Fulham...

APRIL 6: WEEKEND GOALSCORER GAMBLE

Rickie Lambert – Reading v Southampton (Saturday, 12.45, Sky Sports 2) Lambert scored his 14th Premier League goal of the season against Chelsea last weekend – the most by any English player in the competition.

APRIL 3: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

IT looked so good for much of the night but in the end we were hit by a B sting as Barcelona were pegged back at the death. The only consolation was both teams scored in an overs match – and Bayern Munich won too. Tonight's it's Malaga v...

MONDAY NIGHT: FULHAM v QPR

Craven Cottage, Monday, 8pm, Sky Sports 1 FULHAM have won fewer points (eight) than any other side in Premier League London derbies this season but defeated Spurs in their last match. Not even Nostradamus himself would have predicted Fulham stealing away from White Hart Lane with all the points...

EASTER MONDAY: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

IT'S an Easter Monday with a difference because we've got an FA Cup quarter-final to look forward to. And what a game it is – Chelsea v Man United just two days after both recorded contrasting results in the Premier League. For me it's a United win but I'll...

MARCH 24: TRANMERE v STEVENAGE PREVIEW

Prenton Park, Sunday, 4pm, live on Sky Sports AFTER all the Saturday call-offs Tranmere are hoping their televised League One meeting against Stevenage gets the go-ahead. It's the only league game scheduled in England and for me it should be a home win. But when Stevenage are concerned there's...

MARCH 22: SAN MARINO v ENGLAND BETTING TIPS

World Cup qualifying Group H, Bologna, 8pm FOR England it's not if they win away to San Marino – it's how many they'll do it by. Roy Hodgson's men are unbackable at a best 1-50 and even on the handicaps you have to look at England -4 or -5...

MARCH 19: MR FIXIT’S TUESDAY TIPS

I'VE already flagged up Stevenage as my Super Single – and if it doesn't come in direct all your complaints at Milesey. They look a good thing at Bury with Dani Lopez back at the side and last weekend's win takes the heat off under-fire boss Gary Smith. It's...

MARCH 13: BLACKBURN v MILLWALL TIPS

TUESDAY'S results showed just how to tough it is to predict Championship games these days. Bottom can beat top and even leaders Cardiff are struggling, picking up five points from five games. So the fact Wednesday night’s FA Cup quarter-final replay features league rivals Blackburn and Millwall doesn't make...

MARCH 11: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

AFTER all the excitement of the Leigh Griffiths phantom goal I'm not putting on any bets on until the officials pass eye tests. The more I watch that Hibs belter being ruled out the more incredible it seems. Took me back to the time a Dundee United player smashed...

MARCH 10: LIVERPOOL v SPURS TIPS

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

THIS might be slightly controversial but I'm starting the weekend's line with Wigan v Liverpool. I'm aware Wigan's record against the Reds isn't great but they put on their best display of the season at Reading last week and things are looking up for Roberto Martinez's men. The 3-0...

FEB 26: EVERTON v OLDHAM FA CUP BETTING TIPS

EVERTON were seconds from winning their FA Cup clash at Oldham before being pegged back and won't make the same mistake again. The Toffees are no bigger than 1-6 with Skybet to get it right and should win with something to spare against 18-1 (BetVictor) underdogs. Goodison boss David...

FEB 25: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

IT'S FA Cup weekend but Saturday's ties don't stand out when it comes to both teams scoring. So I'm kicking off my line in the Championship with Ipswich v Blackpool. Blackpool beat their opponents 6-0 at home back in August but that was two managers ago and they're struggling...
