Loftus Road, Sunday, 4.10pm AS far as relegation six-pointers go they don’t come much bigger than this – with the hosts looking increasingly likely to be kicking off next season in the second tier. Harry Redknapp’s side have suffered unforgivable defeats at the hands of Aston Villa and Fulham in their last two games and are now a whopping seven […]

IT was a strange Saturday with some winners and losers. I took a gamble on Southampton and Aston Villa on the teams to score 2+ and was let down by Kilmarnock who only managed one at home to Dundee. Villa were a team I really fancied and I tipped them and Southampton up in my Daily Record column. However, I […]

WHAT a day it was with a Scot winning the Grand National. Ryan Mania was the Galashiels-born jockey on board surprise winner Auroras Encore. He’s the first Scots jockey to take the big prize at Aintree since 1896 – coincidentally the last time Scotland qualified for the World Cup! Anyway here are today’s racing tips as we all get down […]

Adelaide United v Brisbane Roar Sunday 8.0 IT’S time for finals football in Australia as the A-League comes towards a scintillating climax. This elimination final sees fourth placed finishing Adelaide United host a Brisbane side who clung on to fifth spot after a less than impressive season as defending champions. With a semi-final spot up for grabs against an awaiting […]

Rickie Lambert – Reading v Southampton (Saturday, 12.45, Sky Sports 2) Lambert scored his 14th Premier League goal of the season against Chelsea last weekend – the most by any English player in the competition. His wonderful free-kick against Chelsea in his last outing typified the sort of crisp striking of the ball we’ve become accustomed to this season. The […]

I’M giving this another go this weekend after picking two out of three correctly last time out. Southampton and Liverpool produced the goods but I was let down by Bristol Rovers who drew a blank at home to York then hit four at Dagenham a couple of days later. Taking Southampton at home to Chelsea surprised some but they had […]

KRIS BOYD was the man of the moment in Scottish football in midweek and Kilmarnock’s returning hero can shoot his side to top-six glory on Saturday. Four teams have the chance of financial pick-me-up by taking the final place among the leading pack before the split – and Killie are in pole position. All they need to do is beat […]

ODDSCHECKER have started to contribute to the site by sending out some stats on the weekend matches. A lot of what they put is extremely interesting and can provide good pointers. For example looking at tonight’s SPL clash between Inverness and St Johnstone they point out the three meetings between the two sides have finished all square and that’s an […]

IT wasn’t a great day for anyone who backed Spurs yesterday but that’s the perils of Europe League football. The White Hart Lane men face an uphill struggle to make the semi-finals but how many of their fans will really care as they chase Champions League football next season. There’s plenty of football to look at on Friday and I’ll […]

PUNTERS can double their money by backing Spurs and Benfica to win their Europa League ties tonight. Spurs are 2-5 at bet365 to see off Basel at White Hart Lane and Benfica 1-2 (various) against Newcastle in Lisbon. I played my hand early yesterday by tipping Gareth Bale to score first after successfully picking Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on […]

I’LL take a good look at the four Europa League games in the morning but here are Milesey’s thoughts on Fenerbahce v Lazio – the one I think is tough to call. Milesey writes: For some reason the market seems to consistently underestimate Lazio, even though they have been one of the tournament’s most impressive sides. Vladimir Petkovic’s men are […]

FIRST it was Lionel Messi then it was Cristiano Ronaldo – two successful Super Singles on the two best players in the world. Messi paid 3-1 v PSG and Ronaldo 9-4 v Galatasaray – and it makes perfect sense to aim for three in a row with a player some are saying is the third best on the planet. On […]

WHEN the Premier League was extended to 10 players no one was sure if the elimination idea would work. In fact, Barry Hearn said if it works it was his idea and if it didn’t I’d have to take the blame! Well, it has worked. Four players – Adrian Lewis, Simon Whitlock, Gary Anderson and Wes Newton – could be […]

IT looked so good for much of the night but in the end we were hit by a B sting as Barcelona were pegged back at the death. The only consolation was both teams scored in an overs match – and Bayern Munich won too. Tonight’s it’s Malaga v Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid v Galatasaray for a second helping […]

THE avalanche of money behind Tiger Woods’ bid for a fifth US Masters title shows no sign of stopping after none of his closest rivals made a meaningful bid for the Houston Open which instead went to rank outsider DA Points. Matched at the maximum odds of 1000.0 pre-tournament, Points became the fifth triple-figure priced winner from the last seven […]

JUST been reading Milesey’s tips and it’s making me thirsty. His Outsider of the Day on Wednesday is Vodka Red so if you fancy that get on. Southwell 3.20 APACHE RISING (nap) APACHE RISING ran out an impressive winner over this C&D last week and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop him taking all the beating again […]

I MAY have had a laugh with April Fool (signed by Rangers) but there was nothing daft about my Easter Monday tips. My treble came in at a cracking 4-1 thanks to Cardiff, Bournemouth and Milesey’s Stevenage. And later my eggxcellent Super Single came in at 2-1 thanks to Derby who hit a late winner at Leeds that cost Neil […]

Craven Cottage, Monday, 8pm, Sky Sports 1 FULHAM have won fewer points (eight) than any other side in Premier League London derbies this season but defeated Spurs in their last match. Not even Nostradamus himself would have predicted Fulham stealing away from White Hart Lane with all the points on their last Premier League outing. After all the Cottagers’ dubious […]
