AFTER the damp squib that was Rangers-Hearts I’m hoping for more action in Saturday’s early games north and south of the border. First up in the English Championship it’s Derby v Nottingham Forest at 12.15pm and half an hour later Celtic kick off at Hamilton. Derby (that’s derby and not Derby) games are usually tough to call as form goes […]

LAST week Championship side Bournemouth let down my Super Single – and there’s a good chance Saturday’s pick will come from the same division. My shortlist featured Birmingham at Leeds, Derby -1 against Nottingham Forest, Ipswich at Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday at home to Bolton. I’ve ruled out Sheffield Wednesday partly down to comments from an Owls fan who questioned […]

IT’S a big weekend in Scotland starting with Rangers v Hearts tonight and the potential of real title race taking place in the Premier League. All six top-flight games are scheduled for Saturday (weather permitting) with champions Celtic first up at Hamilton following their Gran Canaria break and leaders Aberdeen entertaining Dundee later. If Celtic lose the Dons could go […]

THERE has possibly been more said about tonight’s Rangers v Hearts game on the site than any previously. The chat started even before the prices were revealed and of course the odds took many by surprise with unbeaten Championship leaders Hearts prices big at 13-5. There were two reasons for this: 1. Rangers are still a big name and outside […]

TEAM news as I’ve said so often is key before backing any team in cup contests and I’ll look to gather as much info as possible in the morning. Valencia have a 2-1 lead over Espanyol as they travel to Barcelona for the second leg and coach Nuno will be feeling good after signinga three-year contract extension on Monday. Levante […]

HAMILTON start life without Alex Neil tonight as they tackle nearest rivals Dundee United. Neil as well all know made a flying start in charge of Norwich at the weekend and the big questions is: How will Accies cope without him? Players and fans have been on a magical journey under Neil, winning the play-offs last season and marching to […]

THE time has come to put up another thread that should help people identify tips on the main football post. There have been a lot of complaints recently about tips being missed because the thread has been clogged up by other topics – and when you have up to 1000 comments a day it can be difficult to follow. I […]

JUVENTUS travel to Napoli in Serie A’s game of the day with the leaders’ 1-1 draw at Inter Milan on Tuesday being their third draw in last four league games. The result kept Juve at the top of the standings but just one point ahead of Roma. Juve haven’t won at Napoli in Serie A since the 2000-01 campaign and […]

PSG manager Laurent Blanc has accused Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavazzi of showing a “total lack of respect” after returning late from their Christmas holidays. The pair will sit out a second game in a row, having missed the French Cup midweek win over Montpellier, when the capital side play Bastia on Saturday. Uruguayan Cavani and Argentine Lavezzi returned to […]

IT has been a difficult week for Real Madrid and Barcelona but positive signals are coming out of the camps ahead of this weekend’s La Liga fixtures. Madrid have seen their 22-game winning streak halted after back-to-back defeats to Valencia then Atletico Madrid in the SPanosh Cup – it’s three if you include the friendly loss to AC Milan. Barcelona, […]

ABERDEEN are bigger than 6-10 at William Hill to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership on Saturday. It looks short but last weekend the Pittodrie men were cut from 10-11 to 4-7 to succeed at Motherwell – and they duly won 2-0. The Dons are 7-4 with William Hill to win to nil for the eighth […]

I POSTED Saturday’s Super Single with Friday’s tips and it’s only the second time I’ve done that. The last time the selection was a winner and I’m hoping Bournemouth live up to their billing as Championship leaders and take care of Norwich at home. When I was putting together a Super Single shortlist on Thursday I was surprised Bournemouth were […]

REAL MADRID have no time to dwell on a first competitive defeat since September as they face a Copa del Rey showdown with bitter rivals Atletico Madrid on Wednesday (8pm). It’s a match that could see Fernando Torres’s return but for Real they’ll be disappointed they’re not in a position to equal then break a world record for consecutive wins. […]

CHELSEA are 9-2 favourites with William Hill, bet365 and others to lift the FA Cup after being handed a home fourth-round tie against Millwall or Bradford. All of the big guns were kept apart with second favourites Man City (5-1, bet365, Betfred) at home to Middlesbrough and Man United (11-2, Paddy Power) travelling to League Two Cambridge. Holders Arsenal are […]

THERE’S a 10-hour feast of Italian football on Tuesday starting with Udinese-Roma at 11.30am and finishing with Juventus-Inter Milan at 8pm. The late match could be the best of the lot with Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri insisting there will be no hangover following a disappointing festive period. The champions dropped four points with back-to-back draws before winning 3-1 at Cagliari […]

AS it’s all quiet on the golfing front Ace Venturer thought he’d name his best six for 2016. These are not necessarily players to win Majors but over the season to give a good return for my money. See if you agree. European Tour My first pick is 21-year-old Matthew Fitzpatrick who has already won on the European Tour. His driving […]

CELTIC will have Gran Canaria on their minds – but not until they take care of Kilmarnock in a vital Premiership clash. The Hoops are heading on a sunshine break and having postponed this weekend’s meeting with St Johnstone they’ll want to cut the four-point lead Aberdeen have at the top of the table. If Celtic lose they could be […]

THERE are four more La Liga matches today and the ones punters will be focusing on are Valencia v Real Madrid and Real Sociedad v Barcelona. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti says his team selection won’t be affected by having to face Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday as his side go for 23 competitive wins in a […]

IT was a day of mild surprises in the FA Cup with Rochdale’s defeat of Nottingham Forest one that caught the eye. Non-league Blyth and Southport threatened shocks before suffering brave defeats at the hands of Birmingham and Derby respectively. Newcastle were the biggest name to exit at Leicester but with both sides making seven changes the result could have […]

ABERDEEN have a one-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership and should extend that to four over Celtic before the champions travel to Kilmarnock on Monday. The Dons have won six in a row without conceding and a repeat of that at Motherwell pays 9-5 at boylesports. Aberdeen should win but in the past no one would have […]

LA LIGA returns after a two-week winter break with five games on Saturday – Atletico Madrid v Levante, Deportivo v Athletic Bilbao, Malaga v Almeria, Deportivo v Villarreal and Sevilla v Celta Vigo. Malaga were in fine form before the break with four wins on the bounce and are 4-7 with McBookie and William Hill to beat Almeria at home. […]

IT’S a day off for the Scottish Premiership sides so the focus is on the Championship – not for the first time this season. The big game sees Hearts entertain Hibs in the Edinburgh derby as they try to maintain their 15-point lead at the top of the table. Hibs came as close to anyone to beating the Jambos in October […]

I’M sticking two words up at the FA Cup this weekend – but they’re not what you think. You might think we’ll win f*** all on these ties but it won’t be for a lack of trying and checking TEAM NEWS is vital. My tips on the Friday ties were spot on and came after doing my homework and I’ve […]
