AFTER last year’s third place, Peter Hanson’s Masters campaign has been bitterly disappointing but I can see him battling on for a respectable finish. His consistent record owes much to an ability to keep moving forward when all seems lost, as illustrated last week with a final round 66 in Texas. Today’s opponent Carl Pettersson clearly does not like this […]

Hampden Park, Sunday, 12.45pm CELTIC owe their fans a huge Hampden display after handing the League Cup to St Mirren last time out.

Chelsea v Manchester City Sunday 4pm THIS is unquestionably the more promising of the two FA Cup semi-finals but if previous clashes between Rafael Benitez and Roberto Mancini are anything to go by this won’t be a thriller.

Stoke v Manchester United Sunday, 2.05pm STOKE are in the midst of a dire run of results and possibly for the first as manager, Tony Pulis is starting to come under real pressure from his own fans.

PSV v Ajax Sunday 3.30 It’s squeaky bum time in the Netherlands.

Might have more to come this year but has a bit to find if she is to land this. Greek Goddess bettered her debut effort when taking a heavy-ground Killarney […]

Millwall v Wigan, today, 5.15pm, ESPN ARGUABLY the worst prize in football awaits the winner of this weekend’s first FA Cup semi-final.

I’M standing by two sides who did so well for me last weekend. I tipped away wins for Southampton and Aston Villa – and both are at home on Saturday as they bid for another vital three points.

FOURTH-PLACED Angers travel to Niort – aiming to pile the pressure on the top three with the end of the campaign in sight.

Leicester v Birmingham, 7.45pm, Live on Sky Sports 2 ONCE again Leicester are chosen for live Championship coverage (Sky haven’t yet answered my e-mail as to whether their head of football hails from the city) but they have made for painful viewing for their fans in recent weeks.
