APRIL 26: STOKE v WOLVES BETTING
STOKE say the league's their priority despite having an FA Cup Final to look forward to. Tony Pulis' men will feel they need a couple of more points to ensure survival and they should get them against Wolves. Six points seperate the sides and Wolves are fighting for their...
THAT WAS EASTER FUNDAY
I MADE three recommendations on Easter Sunday – and they all came up. The 100 per cent record on the matches at Ibrox, Easter Road and the Reebok made up for a disappointing Saturday – although SFL expert Joe Wallace did get his treble up. My best bet on...
APRIL 24: BOLTON v ARSENAL
WINS for Man United and Chelsea on Saturday means Arsenal must beat Bolton to keep alive slim title hopes. But after five draws in their last six, and a tendency to throw away leads, the Gunners may have to settle for another point at the Reebok. Bolton will be...
GOOD FRIDAY: ENGLISH TREBLE
THERE are 15 matches in England on Friday and it would be great to get the Easter holidays off to a winning start. My three tips on the Ipswich v Norwich game came up on Thursday – Norwich to win, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score –...
APRIL 21: IPSWICH v NORWICH
PORTMAN ROAD should be rocking on Thursday for the East Anglian derby between Ipswich and automatic promotion contenders Norwich. The ground is expected to be packed to the rafters with most of the 29,000 fans hoping Ipswich can rescue their play-off hopes – they lie six points behind sixth-placed...
APRIL 17: ARSENAL v LIVERPOOL
ARSENAL need to beat Liverpool at the Emirates to keep the Premier League title race alive. The Gunners can take advantage of Man United's FA Cup semi-final appointment at Wembley to close the gap at the top of the table to four points. If Arsenal then go on and...
BLACK DAY FOR BLACKPOOL
BLACKPOOL are the shortest priced of all Premier League teams to be relegated after losing at home to Wigan. Ian Holloway's strugglers are just 4-11 with Ladbrokes for an immediate return to the Championship following a defeat at home to Wigan. The Latics have been eased to 4-6 and...
WEEKEND EARLY PICK
IT'S difficult to ignore Reading who are so tempting at 1-1 with firms such as Ladbrokes and totesport. The Royals have stormed up the Championship table into fifth place after seven successive wins. Saturday sees a decent test in the shape of a Leicester side unbeaten in three, although...
APRIL 15: NORWICH v NOTTM FOREST
NORWICH have suffered a blip with an away defeat at Swansea followed by a draw against Watford. As a result Cardiff have replaced Paul Lambert's men in the top two going into the run-in but the Canaries should be back in second with a Friday night win against Nottm...
LIVERPOOL v MAN CITY BETTING
MONDAY'S English Premier League game will showpiece plenty of talent but the match itself may struggle to live up to the hype. Sky Sports must have thought they had a good one on their hands when live TV coverage was scheduled for this Anfield clash but last week's defeat...
APRIL 10: ENGLISH FOOTBALL
ARSENE WENGER reckons finishing second in the English Premier League will be no disgrace – and that's about the best it's going to get for the Gunners. Arsenal go into Sunday's clash at Blackpool 10 points behind Man United and the title now looks a lost cause. However, there...
MACCLESFIELD v ACCRINGTON TIPS
I'VE been all over Accrington like a rash in recent weeks – and they haven't let me down. Last week they were one of my featured homes and beat Northampton. And in midweek they helped bring up a 22-1 five to follow win with victory against Southend. They say...
ROONEY BAN BLOW
MAN UNITED are 25-1 to fire blanks during Wayne Rooney's ban. The Old Trafford star, who has netted four goals in two matches, had his two-match suspension confirmed by the FA for swearing during last Saturday's clash at Upton Park. Rooney will miss games against Fulham on Saturday and...
PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE LATEST
MAN UNITED are 1-5 favourites to win the Premier League title after a weekend when results mostly went their way. William Hill who also offer 9-2 Arsenal, 14-1 Chelsea and 66-1 Man City who beat Sunderland 5-0 on Sunday. Hills are also betting on who will finish runners-up in...
WEEKEND EARLY PICK
I TIPPED up Accrington against Hereford on Wednesday and as long as their players have the legs they should see off Northampton on Saturday. Stanley are making a late charge for the League Two play-offs and hammered Hereford 4-0 to climb to ninth – just three points off sixth...
APRIL 1: PETERBORO v BOURNEMOUTH
PETERBOROUGH let us down big style when they were thrust into the spotlight last Monday for a live TV showdown against MK Dons. Everyone and their granny tipped goals galore but almost inevitably it was a damp squib of a game that ended 1-0 to the Dons. Darren Ferguson's...
BRIGHTON ROCKING
BRIGHTON were rocking on Tuesday as they stormed 13 points clear at the top of League One – and Paddy Power have joined the party by paying out on them as champions. Punters who backed them at prices up to 14-1 have been handed an early windfall by the...
MARCH 26: ENGLISH TREBLE
PETERBOROUGH let us down badly on Monday when they lost 1-0 at MK Dons. Darren Ferguson's side not scoring was less predictable than Ken Clarke falling asleep during the Budget. But hopefully the League One play-off hopefuls are wide awake for Friday night's visit to Bristol Rovers. It's impossible...
MK DONS v PETERBORO BETTING TIPS
INTERNATIONAL weekend has forced TV crews to slum it down in League One tonight. But fans tuning in the game could be treated to a thrilling contest. MK Dons v Peterborough doesn't have the same ring as Chelsea v Man Utd or Celtic v Rangers – but it could...
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: MANCHESTER UNITED V MARSEILLE
IT'S not quite the Manchester United of old. A lack of spark, magic and even flair have left this year's Premier League leaders looking a shadow of themselves. However, with Wayne Rooney starting to remember what he's paid for and United's home form belying their horrible displays on the...
MARCH 15: ENGLISH TIPS
OFTEN midweek matches don't go to form and you have sides who are more of “weekend specialists”. At first glance at the midweek card two sides jumped out at me – Orient and Peterborough. Both are flying in League One, with Peterborough in particular looking unstoppable in recent weeks...
MARCH 14: NORWICH v BRISTOL CITY BETTING TIPS
NORWICH have been one of the Championship's outstanding teams all season and have a chance on Monday to give their promotion hopes a massive lift. QPR beat Palace on Saturday to move 10 points clear at the top but Leeds, Swansea, Nottm Forest and Cardiff all slipped up. Norwich...
EVERTON v BIRMINGHAM BETTING TIPS
CAN Everton be trusted? And can they be trusted at odds of just 4-7. We'll find out the answer tonight and I suspect for once it could be yes. The Goodison Park side have let punters down on several occasions this season at odds on – most recently at...
MARCH 2: SCOTTISH FOOTBALL
THERE is one match in the SPL tonight and St Johnstone v Aberdeen looks a draw. Saints were 4-0 gubbed at Rangers at the weekend – with the early loss of Michael Duberry not helping their cause – but had been in decent form up till then. The Dons...
ENGLISH BETTING LATEST
CHELSEA are 12-1 for the league with Ladbrokes after beating Man United 2-1 last night. United have been edged out to 4-7 with Arsenal the main beneficiaries with their price trimmed to 7-4. Reading upset Everton at Goodison Park to earn a 33-1 quote for the FA Cup with...
FEBRUARY 28: STOKE v WBA
STOKE'S one of the toughest places to visit in the Premier League and tonight looks like being another miserable one in the EPL career of Roy Hodgson. The former Liverpool boss started life at the Hawthorns with a home draw against Wolves but could suffer his first defeat tonight...
BLACKPOOL v SPURS BETTING
IT'S another busy night in England with the focus on Spurs who go from the San Siro to Blackpool Tower. What a culture shock that must be for Harry Redknapp's multi-millionaires who are strutting their stuff in the Champions League. Spurs stunned Europe by beating AC Milan 1-0 last...
FEBRUARY 22: ENGLISH TIPS
I ENJOYED a mixed weekend with my Championship bets. Leicester, Swansea and Portsmouth provided me with decent wins but I felt letdown by Ipswich, Millwall and QPR. There's a full card tonight and best bets must be Norwich at home to Doncaster. Donny have lost seven out of eight...
FEBRUARY 18: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS
LEICESTER are the Championship's form team and they have a chance to show why against Bristol City tonight. Sven-Goran Eriksson, with the help of a few quid, has transformed the side in his short spell at the club and they look play-off certs after fighting the early pasrt of...
FEBRUARY 16: TOP TIPS
IT'S a much quieter night than Tuesday with the two Champions League ties taking centre stage. This could be a night for draws with that being my prediction for Arsenal v Barcelona and Roma v Shakhtar. It could also be stalemate in the Premiership where Wigan entertain Bolton. Owen...
CHELSEA UNDER THE RADAR
BOOKIES have settled Chelsea’s points total for the season after their 0-0 with Fulham on Monday night. Bet365 have paid out on under 82 points for the season at 11-10. Spokesman Steve Freeth said: “Chelsea are in danger of finishing the season with a whimper and that’s summed up...
FEBRUARY 13: ENGLISH ACTION
IT wasn't as exciting in the EPL yesterday and there might not be too much excitement today. Everton played some great stuff last week when they battered Blackpool 5-3, with Louis Saha helping himself to four goals. But Davie Moyes' side aren't as good on their travels and there's...
WONDER OF WAYNE
WAYNE ROONEY is 7-4 to win the goal of the season award for his stunning effort against Man City last night. Rooney's sensational scissors kick kept Man United in control at the top and sealed a 2-1 win at Old Trafford. Ladbrokes were among those impressed and have immediately...
FEBRUARY 8: FOOTBALL LEAGUE BETS
BRENTFORD battled through to the JTP Wembley final last night as I predicted – but who will they meet? It will certainly be an all League One affair with Huddersfield hosting Carlisle tonight. Carlisle are massive odds on at 1-20 with William Hill to clinch their place after coasting...
JPT TROPHY: EXETER v BRENTFORD
EXETER hold the advantage as they bid for a place at Wembley tonight in the second leg of the JTP Trophy South Final. They battled to a 1-1 draw at Brentford but there is so little between the sides the outcome could be the same tonight. Two meetings this...
REDS READY TO ROAR
BET365 are going 5-2 about Sir Alex Ferguson getting his wish of Wayne Rooney reaching 10 and Dimitar Berbatov getting 30 goals by the end of the season. bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth “Rooney’s brace against Aston Villa could easily open the floodgates as far as the England striker is...
TORRES READY TO GOAL
FERNANDO TORRES is 1-2 to start for Chelsea against Liverpool on Sunday according to Ladbrokes. The Spain striker seems desperate to face his former team but is 13-8 to come on off the bench and 11-10 to score on his debut. David Williams from Ladbrokes said: “The entire match...
FEBRUARY 1: ENGLISH TIPS
MAN UNITED were put in the shade yesterday after rivals Chelsea and Liverpool splashed out about £130million between them. Alex Ferguson will have looked on enviously at their spending power – but the others will be envious every time they glance at the EPL table. United sit proudly on...
JANUARY 26: ENGLISH BETTING
MAN UNITED saved my treble yesterday with their glorious comeback at Blackpool. I was ready to rip up my slips when they trailed 2-0 with about 20 minutes to go but the champions-elect rattled in three goals to turn it around. Nottingham Forest and Crewe completed the 4-1 treble...
BOLTON v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS
THE final game of the EPL weekend sees Chelsea travel to Bolton needing a win to stay in the title race. And the good news for the Blues is that the Reebok is a happy hunting ground with seven wins on the spin without conceding a goal. Chelsea are...
JANUARY 23: ENGLISH FOOTBALL
IT was another great day for Man United who have been cut to 4-6 by Ladbrokes to win the title after their 5-0 thrashing of Birmingham City. Arsenal are 5-2 after climbing into second by beating Wigan at the Emirates with Man City the main losers as they drifted...
BENT v DOWNING
DARREN BENT is 2-1 with Paddy Power to finish Aston Villa's top scorer after as completing his £18million transfer from Sunderland. Stewart Downing currently leads the charts with five league goals so it shouldn't take Bent to long to overhaul him. Paddy Power also offer 10-11 on Bent finishing...
ENGLISH PREMIER LATEST
BOOKIES just love draws and they were licking their lips after a full house on super Sunday in the English Premier League. Four consecutive stalemates at Birmingham, Sunderland, Liverpool and Spurs saw firms enjoy one of their most lucrative Sundays for years as punters endured an afternoon of frustration....
ENGLISH BETTING IN BRIEF
BODOG have reacted to the furore caused by Karren Brady's newspaper column by putting out prices on which club will be handed the Olympic Stadium. West Ham director Brady suggested David Beckham's arrival at White Hart Lane was linked to the club's attempt to move to the new venue....
PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS: JAN 5TH
ALL eyes are on the Premier League tonight with seven massive games. Pick of the bunch has to be the meeting of title rivals Arsenal and Man City at the Emirates. With Man United charging clear at the top after last night's win against Stoke, this is a huge...
JANUARY 4: ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE
IT’S so tight at the top and bottom of the Premier League that almost every game counts for something. Take tonight’s games for example. Two feature four teams still fighting the drop while leaders Man United are in action at home to Stoke. Promoted sides such as Blackpool and West...
34-1 MONDAY MAGIC
I'VE started the year with some decent wins and the five to follow came up at 34-1 today thanks to some late goals. I tipped Watford, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Wycombe and Bristol City plus one goal at QPR. The line looked beaten until Bristol City, 6-4 with a goal...
ENGLISH PREVIEW: JANUARY 3

PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS: JANUARY 2
CHELSEA reignited their title challenge by beating Bolton in midweek and should pick up another three points against Aston Villa today. Such has been the demise of Villa under Gerard Houllier that the Blues are a biggest 2-7 with Coral while the visitors are a massive 14-1 at Chandler....
ROY THROWN TO THE WOLVES?
ROY HODGSON is now evens with William Hill still to be Liverpool manager on the first day of next season and 8-11 not to be. A 1-0 home defeat to Wolves last night is as bad as it gets and Hodgson faces a tough task winning the fans over. Hodgson is...
ARSENAL v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS
IT'S London v Manchester for the English Premier title with the northern sides having the upper hand at the moment. United and City fill the first two spots after victories yesterday while Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs make up the top five. Out of the challengers, it's actually Spurs who...
BOXING DAY: EPL PREVIEW
THERE are two top-six battles in the EPL at Christmas – but you’d have got long odds at the start of the season on one of them featuring Sunderland. But for now it’s more wonderland than blunderland for Steve Bruce’s side whose next big test comes at Man United...
CITY ODDS DRIFT AFTER SHOCKER
IT should have been party time at Eastland last night with Carlos Tevez agreeing to stay and Man City to top the table at Christmas for the first time since 1929. But it took just eight minutes for Everton to turn party poopers with an opening goal from Gary...
MAN CITY v EVERTON
CARLOS TEVEZ is 5-1 with with William Hill to be Man City's only scorer against Everton at Eastlands tonight after withdrawing his transfer request. The Argentina star will be out to show his commitment to the club after weeks of rumour and counter rumour. If you fancy Tevez just...
ENGLISH PREMIER LATEST
SUNDERLAND took advantage of the call-offs to climb into the top six of the Premier League and William Hill are betting on where they will end the season. The offer 5-2 they will finish in seventh or eighth and the same price ninth or 10th. Eighth looks a possibility...
LOONEY TOONS
NEWCASTLE fans are among the hardest to please. That's been proved again this week following another managerial change. A section of the support got their way when Chris Hughton was sacked despite leading them to the Championship title last season and keeping them out of the relegation zone in...
CHELSEA NOT SO FANCIED
CHELSEA have been eased to 8-11 by Ladbrokes and William Hill for the Premier League title following their 3-0 home defeat to Sunderland. It’s 3-1 Manchester United with second-placed Arsenal 7-2 following their away win at Goodison Park. Manchester City are out to 18-1 for the title having been...
SUNDAY’S EPL AND SPL BETTING TIPS
SUNDERLAND are 10-11 with Paddy Power to be the first visiting team to score in the league at Stamford Bridge this season – but their chances are slim after injury to top scorer Darren Bent. Without the cutting edge of the England striker, Steve Bruce's men are likely to...
ENGLISH PREVIEW NOVEMBER 9
SPURS have been as inconsistent as possible recently – beating Inter Milan then crashing at Bolton. Boss Harry Redknapp blames his side's inconsistency on injuries and with Rafael van der Vaart doubtful for tonight's clash against Sunderland and the likes of Jermain Defoe still out you're not quite sure...
