SPURS boss Andre Villas-Boas has been cut to 1-3* to be the next Premier League manager to go after his side’s 5-0 defeat at home to Liverpool. The result means Spurs have won just one of their last six league matches at White Hart Lane and sit seventh in the league table, five points adrift of the top four. Coral […]

WELL done Andy Murray for winning the Sports Personality of the Year award – but compared to winning Wimbledon it’s like triumphing in a mixed doubles event down his local park. Anyway that’s the 2013 prize out of the way – so who will win in 2014 if you really care. Well, he’s such a strong personality that Murray is […]

I’VE not included any of the Premier League teams among my top tip selections and there’s a reason for that. Norwich v Swansea (1.30pm) and Spurs v Liverpool (4pm) could go either way while Man United look to short to trust at Aston Villa (1.30pm). I’m going to stick my neck out and take Spurs to win mainly because the […]

I’VE started putting up a Saturday Super Singles shortlist on Wednesdays or Thursdays and so far the exercise has proved worthwhile. The last two weekends have produced winners – Livingston and Derby – and many teams on the shortlist have been knocked off after comments made in response to my initial selections. I thought this weekend was a tough card […]

BARCELONA hit Celtic for six in midweek and as they continue without Lionel Messi they should be in the goals again tonight (7pm). Villarreal will defend better than the Scots at the Nou Camp and provide a bigger goal threat so it should be a decent match. Neymar bagged his first Champions League goals with a well-taken hat-trick against Celtic […]

THE weekend gets under way with a belter as Man City entertain Arsenal at the Etihad (12.45pm). It has the potential to be a cracker but whatever happens it should end up with three points staying in Manchester. Arsenal have been tremendous this season since losing to Aston Villa on the opening day and their only other defeat was at […]

FIRST team on my treble this weekend is an Everton side who are growing in strength under Roberto Martinez. The Spaniard has stepped into the big shoes of Davie Moyes and has settled in much better than his predecessor has done at Old Trafford. Martinez’s men got the better of Man United last midweek then battled back to claim a […]

I DON’T have the time – and lack the knowledge – to put up darts tips but I know the World Championship that starts tonight will be a popular punting affair. Earlier in the week I commented about the fact tournament sponsors were refunding losing outright bets (max £25) if odds-on favourite Phil Taylor bagged a 17th title. It’s a […]

OWEN SCOTT’S been unable to sleep at night dreaming of Cumnock winning the Scottish Junior Cup. His side look on course for the last 16 after being drawn at home to Neilston. So what does the William Hill man do instead of counting sheep? He studies results and comes up with the stats that matter for the weekend in Scotland. […]

LAST week five of the 10 on my shortlist were triumphant – and of course I plumped for Livingston who came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Cowdenbeath. Out of the other five put up four drew and the only loser was Brentford and I’d have knocked them off anyway after losing boss Uwe Rosler to Wigan on […]

ON Wednesday I put up a Saturday Super Singles shortlist and asked for comments on my picks. Coventry were quickly shot down by a Sky Blues fan and that was a good call as they drew at Hartlepool without a couple of key men. Notts County were another about whom questions were asked but they managed to beat Gillingham and […]

ROY HODGSON was advising punters to back England to win the World Cup – but I’m glad I chose Brazil. Well, slightly pleased but they too drifted with the prospect of a last-16 clash against Spain or Holland. England have been handed a tough draw and you can bet one certainty … John Ruddy won’t be in goals for the […]

REFEREES may have ruled out strike action in Scotland but McBookie reckon they could still be out for revenge following the decision to ban Dundee United striker Nadir Ciftci for just two games after manhandling an official. With that in mind McBookie are asking how many red cards the referees will show this weekend. Six or more is the 2-1 […]

ONE team beat my last week and it’s been a recurring theme with the Top Treble. I went for three aways and after wins for Brentford and Dumbarton it was Stranraer who let me down. This weekend is slightly complicated by the FA Cup ties that replace League One and League Two fixtures and punters have to do their homework […]

CELTIC visit Motherwell in the SPFL on Friday night and the contrast in the sides’ results last weekend couldn’t have been more different. Motherwell crashed out of the Scottish Cup to Albion Rovers and 24 hours later Celtic hammered Hearts 7-0 with a sublime display at Tynecastle. Fir Park boss Stuart McCall insisted it was his most embarrassing moment in […]

I DID this for the first time last week and while it was interesting reading the comments I picked the wrong Saturday Super Single. Brighton let me down by drawing at Bournemouth and since then I’ve two winners and two losers. As usual I had my first look at the weekend football when the coupons hit the shops and here […]

ONE goal beat the both teams to score treble last night and I was one goal away from a lovely 125-1 score and win treble. All four SPFL games last night saw both sides on target – even Forfar at Rangers – so I’m starting my both to score line with Dumbarton v Alloa, a fixture that has seen both […]

ARSENAL are four points clear of the chasing pack and there’s now way that gap will be reduced on Wednesday. The Gunners have a routine home clash with Hull – and it should be routine despite Steve Bruce’s men beating Liverpool 3-1 at the weekend. Hull have lost five out of six away and with Arsenal no bigger than 2-9 […]

WHAT a weekend that was. Double bogeys and triple bogeys were the story of my selections in the Dunhill. Then there was Darren Fichardt with a 10 at the 18th in the second round while he was among the leaders. He missed the cut by one! Hopefully we can avoid any such scores this week. The Nedbank Golf Challenge at […]

I’VE billed this a both teams to score line but it could just as easily be an over 2.5 goals one – so take your pick. I’m starting in Scottish League 2 with Stirling v Berwick. The last meeting between the sides at Forthbank finished 6-3 and Albion’s last six have featured 26 goals. Both have netted in Berwick’s last […]

RANGERS are out to extend their winning run to 19 against the only side that’s beaten or drawn with them this season. Their only glitch this season came when they crashed 1-0 at Forfar in the League Cup without most of their new signings. Ally McCoist’s men returned to Station Park to wreak revenge with a 1-0 in the league. […]

THERE are some big games in the Premier League today with Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool all in action while Man United travel to Spurs. We know how good City are at home and they showed that again last weekend with a 6-0 rout of shocking Spurs. Swansea arrive at the Etihad after a morale-shredding Europa League defeat to Valencia […]

DUNDEE UNITED made us plenty of money last night as they kicked off the Scottish Cup fourth round with a 5-2 win against Dundee United. Some of winnings are targeted at today’s tie – although it’s difficult to spot a shock. However, stealing a line from Tam Cowan in today’s Record, he can see Rangers winning at Falkirk! Albion Rovers […]

PRESTON beat the Top Treble last weekend after all my teams were leading at half-time. Newcastle and Dundee United did the business but there are no prizes for two out of three. This weekend I’m doing three aways and while that’s unusual two of them are in Scottish Cup ties. I’ms starting with League One Brentford who travel to Notts […]
