AFTER nearly three weeks away I'm back – and today's tips will be up later.

Poor old Scott McAlpine's away nursing his sore back after carrying the site while I've been off.

Unfortunately tonight's card isn't great for starting back with the Capital One and Scottish League Cup two of my least favourite tournaments.

I will of course put up a both teams to score line and the usual top tips but it's a card to be wary about.

      Student-tipper et all, to be honest I don’t usually go away during the football season but it was a family wedding halfway round the world so there was no decision to be made. Scott did his best while I was away and to be fair results did seem pretty bad.

      I’m joking mr fix I hope you had a great time. My dad lives in Asia (Malaysia) and its an interesting and different place. Good to have you back, Scott (I thought) did well under tricky circumstances so I think a thank you is in order from everyone!!

    The guy who took over from you wrote like a halfwit and his tips were crap.

      yes Paddy, if it was that straight forward mibee there would not be bookmakers every 100 yards in any town centre and countless amounts of on line equivalents

      well done Scott on your 9/4 super single tip on Saturday

    Leeds gotta be super single, 6/4 and that’s on Ladbrokes shop coupon

      Craig, it was a toss-up between Leeds and Swindon for me. I’ll be backing against the Premier League sides if they field the weakened teams I expect.

    welcome back, thought Scott was unlucky with his tips as there was some crazy results over the last few weeks.
    a treble thats worth small punt tonight Sunderland Aberdeen and swindon pays around 10/1

    Hmm I agree, Craig Alves, Surely Leeds Utd are good enough to win tonight.

    The Barcelona squad for the Copa del Ray tie away to Alaves is Pinto, Oier, Alves, Montoya, Song, Adriano, Mascherano, Bartra, Dos Santos, Sergio, Iniesta, Cesc, Sergi Roberto, Tello, Villa and Alexis

    Some interesting prices for anytime scorers

    …Tello anytime evens Bet Victor
    Iniesta anytime 6/4 Sky Bet
    Dos Santos 5/1 Sky Bet
    Mascherano 12/1 Sky Bet and William Hill

    Personally Like the Iniesta and Mascharano ones!

      Tommo, Tello’s likely to start and usually does well in these games.

    Mr f. Glad your back from your hols. But i cant believe some of the results when you were away. 2 at the wkend celtic and bayern both losing and doing me for loads of cash! Now your back hope my luck will change. Fancy the dons tonite. Good price to.

      Alex, early days. Plenty of time for a Dons comeback. I’m more interested in the fact Havelse have actually scored. Hopefully Bochum will get one back for the btts.
