THINGS didn’t go as planned at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia on Thursday on what was in all truth a really poor day all told. Gilles Simon didn’t turn up at all in his match with Roger Federer and was beaten as early as about game four of the match as the Swiss dominated proceedings against a strangely lacklustre Simon. To […]

Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid, Bernabeu, 8.30pm, Friday THERE has been the sense since Real Madrid were beaten in the Champions League semi-final by Borussia Dortmund that turmoil is coming to a boil. Jose Mourinho seems to be losing more friends in the dressing room but he could still finish with a bang by winning a derby match in the […]

I’VE had another bet in the Volvo World Match Play Championship and as it starts first thing in the morning I thought I’d get the ball rolling early. The least said about today the better really but I will just touch on it. I’ve had a shocker – and yet it all started so well. Bo Van Pelt’s match against […]

THE news David Beckham has retired from football has prompted bookies Coral to offer odds on what Becks will do in the future, making him just 4-1 to appear on Reality TV. Beckham is 5-2 to be knighted this year and 16-1 to become England manager in the future. He is considered only marginally more likely to become Manchester United […]

I’M starting with Friday’s live racing on Channel 4 and the 2.15 at York when Martin Chuzzlewit takes on Sir John Hawkwood and co in the 1m4f handicap. The Stoute camp thought they had a well-handicapped horse on their hands with Martin Chuzzlewit last season but he ultimately proved disappointing. And the fact they tried the blinkers and visor suggested […]

THE promotion and relegation play-offs have started in Holland and we could be in for a low-scoring affair between Go Ahead Eagles and VVV this evening. Go Ahead Eagles finished sixth in the Jupiler League and after negotiating their way past Dordrecht in the first round of the play-offs now come up against VVV-Venlo of the Eredevisie. They have had […]

Groningen v Twente, Thursday, 5.45pm TWENTE sit in sixth place in the Eredivisie – just one ahead of their hosts – but the points margin between the two sides is incredible with Twente a whopping 19 points in front of Groningen. And that leaves these two sides battling it out with Utrecht and Heerenveen in the Europa League play-off – […]

ATP Internazionali BNL d’Italia I SAID yesterday that Wednesday had the look of a tricky day’s men’s tennis betting in Rome and so it proved but at least this column came up with some winners. My recommended bet of the day was a comfortable winner when Philipp Kohlschreiber destroyed Albert Ramos 6-4 6-1 in around an hour-and-a-quarter but the real […]

England v New Zealand, Thursday, 11am Live on Sky Sports 1 ENGLAND a little bashful ahead of this two-Test series. They know they were embarrassed in the away leg, failing to beat a competitve but ultimately limited side. Indeed, they were fortunate to avoid the ignominy of defeat. They will have to set the record straight without Kevin Pietersen who […]

IT’S semi-finals time in the Premier League on Thursday with two mouthwatering clashes as Michael van Gerwen takes on James Wade and Phil Taylor meets Raymond van Barneveld in London. Raymond van Barneveld v Phil Taylor Taylor is trading as a strong favourite here which is unsurprising given Barney hasn’t beaten him on the big stage since 2008. But I […]

IT’S the Europa League Final live on ITV1 tonight at 7.45 we could be in for an exciting clash between Benfica and Chelsea. Benfica earned their way through to the Final courtesy of a 3-2 aggregate win over Fenerbahce in the semis.

FIRST staged in 1944 as the Dallas Open and won by the man the event is now named after, the HP Byron Nelson Championship has an impressive list of champions. Indeed, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan won the next two stagings, two top-quality maiden winners in Jason Day and Keegan Bradley won the 2010 and 2011 renewals and top-class performer […]

IT was one winner from two on Tuesday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia and those who took my advice of laying Nico Almagro at a short price were quids in. The injury-hampered Almagro was a shocking price at 1.22 and I’m quite surprised he played at all but play he did and lost in straight sets to Julien Benneteau who […]

AFC Champions League play-offs Al-Hilal v Lekhwiya 7pm HAVING led Al Hilal to their best performance in the AFC Champions League three years ago, Eric Gerets will be looking to get the better of his former club when he takes charge of Qatari side Lekhwiya for their round of 16 clash with the Saudi giants.

FIRST staged back in 1964 and won by Arnold Palmer, the Volvo World Match Play Championship is now a different event to the old autumnal Wentworth treat that many will remember with much fondness. It was oh so easy back then – a collection of the world’s best would turn up at Ernie Els’s gaff, saunter round Surrey’s finest for […]

THINGS didn’t go quite to plan on Monday at the 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia when a fairly awful performance from Paulo Lorenzi allowed Kei Nishikori too much of an easy ride in the late-night match. In front of a virtually empty Centrale Court at around midnight local time Kei saved all seven of the break-point chances against him and didn’t […]

AS far as disappointment dead rubbers go this one is right up there. Reading, relegated two weeks ago, face defeated FA Cup finalists Manchester City at the Madejski Stadium. The Royals are still aiming to not finish bottom of the table and can achieve that with a point after QPR lost to Newcastle on Sunday. Nigel Adkins achieved his first […]

Tuesday, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 1 NO FA Cup winning team has been relegated in the same season but you have to feel for Arsenal’s opponents. Traditionally, winning an FA Cup was the crowning glory to the domestic season, the last say on proceedings and a major triumph to be celebrated champagne-style long into the night. Not so anymore. Having claimed […]

BURSASPOR host Eskisehirspor at the Bursa Ataturk Stadium looking to extend the recent form which has seen them unbeaten in six of their last seven Super Lig games.

HJK Helsinki are odds-on for their trip to Lahti this afternoon (4.30pm) but the Finnish Veikkausliiga champions could be in for a difficult match. Lahti have made a solid start to their league campaign with five points from their opening four fixtures. They are 10th of 12 but they have games in hand and it won’t be long before they’re […]
