THE new football chat thread has proved popular so we’ll continue with it for now – and remember the top tips post is where you should put all predictions and betting chat.

Posted on: 12 Jan 2015

HAMILTON start life without Alex Neil tonight as they tackle nearest rivals Dundee United.

JAN 10-11: MR FIXIT’S FOOTBALL CHAT – NOT TIPS

Posted on: 10 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 11: SERIE A BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 10 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 10-11: FRENCH LIGUE 1 BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 10 Jan 2015

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.

Uruguayan Cavani and Argentine Lavezzi returned to […]

JAN10-11: LA LIGA BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 10 Jan 2015

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, […]

JAN 10: SPFL STATS PACK AND TIPS

Posted on: 09 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 10: SUPER SINGLE – THE VERDICT

Posted on: 09 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 7: ATLETICO v REAL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 06 Jan 2015

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. […]

JAN 6: SERIE A BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 05 Jan 2015

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 […]

Golf: Ace’s 6 of the Best for 2016

Posted on: 05 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 5: KILLIE v CELTIC BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 05 Jan 2015

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 […]

Posted on: 04 Jan 2015

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.

JAN 4: FA CUP TEAM NEWS

Posted on: 03 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 4: SCOTS PREMIERSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 03 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 3: LA LIGA IS BACK!

Posted on: 03 Jan 2015

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.

JAN 3: SCOTS CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 03 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 3: FA CUP TEAM NEWS

Posted on: 02 Jan 2015

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 […]

JAN 1: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 31 Dec 2014

CHELSEA are looking less invincible by the week but should start 2015 in a winning note. The Blues travel to a Spurs side they easily defeated 3-0 at Stamford Bridge recently. Since losing their unbeaten record to Newcastle Jose Mourinho’s side have been a bit off colour and dropped two more points at Southampton at the weekend. However, their three-point […]

JAN 1: SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 31 Dec 2014

IT’S derby day in the Scottish Premiership and that doesn’t make it any easier to predict winners. There are four proper derbies as we start 2015 with a bang as well as Aberdeen v St Johnstone and Hamilton v Motherwell before the top-flight clubs go again on Sunday. Much has been said this week about whether Aberdeen are genuine title […]

DEC 30: CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 29 Dec 2014

ANYONE still fancy having a football bet in 2014? It’s a funny old game after all. We were all on a high on Friday night after battering the bookies but results have pretty much gone their way since. There are three big Championship games on Tuesday and going by form there should be wins for Derby, Ipswich and Wigan – […]

SPFL: LATEST BETTING NEWS & STATS PACK

Posted on: 29 Dec 2014

THERE’S been a huge debate in Scotland in the past couple of days about whether Aberdeen or anyone else can take the title from Celtic.

DEC 29: LIVERPOOL v SWANSEA BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 28 Dec 2014

I DECIDED I’be backing against Liverpool in their next game as I watched the highlights of their win against Burnley on Boxing Day. It was a 1-0 steal for the Anfield men who looked terrible apart from one moment of magic that resulted in Philippe Coutinho setting up Raheem Sterling for a good goal. If Brendan Rodgers is going to […]

DEC 28: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 27 Dec 2014

MOST English teams will play their second game in three days on Sunday and that makes picking winners fraught with danger. No one should go daft with stakes or big accumulators because the only certainty is there will be some surprise results. Clubs with bigger than average squads should do best so the likes of Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini […]
