IT’S another busy day of racing and here are Milesey’s tips. Kempton 3.20 CLIMAXFORTACKLE 3.2 betfair She’s only 2lb higher for this run today, Jim Crowley on board should give another solid run. Kempton 4.20 GUEST OF HONOUR 2.5 betfair Top weight for this race, which may put quite a few people off, for giving quite a bit to the […]

SWANSEA are 100-1 with William Hill to win the Europa League after qualifying by battering Bradford in the Capital One Cup Final. They now face a battle to hang on to their manager Michael Laudrup who is 1-6 to still be in charge on day one of next season and 7-2 to be away. League Two Bradford showed fairytales can […]

MAN UTD are 15 points clear at the top and the title race is over. But try telling that to Roberto Mancini and he’ll probably tell you to f*** off! Mancini swore at reporters on Friday when asked about his future and you can sure his coat will be on an even more shoogily peg if his side slip up […]

Sunday, Wembley, 4pm THERE is no logical reason for Bradford appearing in the Capital One Cup Final – the same way as there is nothing to suggest they’ll live with Swansea at Wembley. The Premier League men are bidding to become the first Welsh side to lift the trophy while the Bantams, in their first final since 1911, aim to […]

IT’S another busy day of sport and Milesey’s not feeling well. How else would you explain him backing Scotland to beat Ireland in the rugby. He also fancies Swansea to beat Bradford at Wembley – so go for the Scots/Welsh double. And of course he’s got plenty to say on the day’s racing. Here are his Sunday best: NAAS 3.35 […]

CORAL are offering 5-1 for Manchester United to go unbeaten in the league from now until the end of the season. The 12-times Premier League champions are unbeaten in their last 14 league matches and sit 12 points clear at the top of the table. It’s 8-11 for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men to go on to win the league by […]

LOVE him or hate him you never get a dull moment with Milesey. Here’s his racing tips and hopefully he’ll pick a few winners and be in a good mood tomorrow night. 1.0 Fairyhouse DOGORA 1.77 Had to work hard last time out to justify being odds-on favourite that day and the same will apply today if the unbeaten record […]

SAINTS are sinners when they’re supposed to be winners as far as I’m concerned. For the second week in a row St Mirren beat my top treble – this time by losing 1-0 at home to Hibs. My other picks, Crystal Palace and Yeovil, won well and you won’t see St Mirren featured here for a while. Another team I’ve […]

GOALS seem to have been harder to find in recent weeks – let’s hope the bookies respond by putting up prices that have been cut on this market for the best part of a year. One team having no problem finding the net are Peterborough who rammed in five at Millwall in midweek. Darren Ferguson’s side are off the bottom […]

THE SFL was a bit of a letdown in midweek but weekend games have generally been providing punters with goals galore. Start this weekend’s line Cowdenbeath v Raith. I know Beath let me down last weekend but they were probably jaded after a couple of big performances. The Central Park side enjoyed a free week so should be refreshed for […]

YOU asked for reasoning and here it is in spades. Our man Milesey’s done his homework and here are his thoughts on Friday’s racing. Ebel Ali Back Baransky in the 10:45. The opening thoroughbred handicap is high on numbers but low on interesting horses and a pair of recent maiden winners seem sure to go well with Baransky taken to […]

IT’S round three of the Premier League darts with the circus moving to Bournemouth for another thrilling night of action. We have James Wade v Adrian Lewis, Robert Thornton v Wes Newton, Simon Whitlock v Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen v Raymond van Barneveld and Andy Hamilton v Gary Anderson. My three singles are Taylor 4-9, MVG 6-5 and Hamilton […]

THE Coral punter who came within a whisker of a £1million win last night has been handed a consolation prize. A free bet on all eight last-16 correct scores almost won the Wiltshire man a bumper payout when he predicted the first six spot on. His seventh was 1-1 between Galatasaray and Schalke but he got Milan v Barcelona the […]

PAUL INCE makes his return to football tonight and although I don’t like backing against sides with new bosses he faces a tough test at Leeds. Former MK Dons gaffer Ince takes charge of a Blackpool side with just two wins in 10 and struggling since Michael Appleton’s shock move to Blackburn. Ince has been charged with improving fortunes and […]

READING have given Man United some problems in the past couple of seasons – with their 4-3 home defeat (all the goals came in the first half) one of the most memorable games in the Premier League this season. But I can’t see the Royals making it tough for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men when the sides meet in the FA […]

ST MIRREN let me down on Saturday but I’m praying St Etienne do me justice on Sunday. St Etienne are in great form having won six in a row and head for Stade de Reims full of belief. The run has lifted the sleeping giants to fourth in the table and they must be targeting a challenge for a Champions […]

THE SFL’S been great for goals recently and I see no reason for a reduction in numbers this weekend. Livingston v Cowdenbeath stands out more than any. Livi’s last two with Dumbarton have produced 12 goals and the last three meetings have finished 1-1. Cowdenbeath have turned into a goal machine with eight goals in two games against Falkirk and […]

IT’S FA Cup weekend but Saturday’s ties don’t stand out when it comes to both teams scoring. So I’m kicking off my line in the Championship with Ipswich v Blackpool. Blackpool beat their opponents 6-0 at home back in August but that was two managers ago and they’re struggling down in 16th after just two wins in six. Interestingly, their […]

I WENT for it big style last week with a 37-1 treble only beaten by St Mirren who drew 0-0 at Aberdeen. It was the biggest treble I’ve posted and two out of three – Bristol City and Yeovil – was a good effort. Inspired by that near miss I’m turning my nose up at three shorties and once again […]

AS you know Friday’s not my best day for tipping because I’m concentrating on the weekend workload but there are some big games tonight. First up let’s look at AC Milan v Parma in Serie A and it’s all about Mario Balotelli. He’s been a big hit since signing from Man City with three goals in two games and is […]

AFTER the thrills and spills of the Champions League it’s time to resume action in the Europa League. As usual team news is vital because even at this stage some will rest stars, especially those going for league titles or Champions League slots. Two side being heavily backed are Anzhi and Fenerbahce and I can see why. A lot of […]

THE SPL has thrown up a tough-looking fixture with Kilmarnock travelling to Inverness. Killie notched a fine 2-0 win against Motherwell at the weekend while ICT were beaten at home by a Celtic reserve side. Inverness have stuttered in recent weeks, crashing out of the Scottish Cup at Kilmarnock and losing at St Mirren. In fact Terry Butcher’s men have […]

TODAY I’ve a guest blogger who loves a bet on the Team Total Goals Market. Not only that but he also managed to pick out West Brom as 10-1 winners at Anfield last night. So it’s over to Selectabet and his trixie selection for this evening. Fingers crossed he can supply us with another winner tonight. Tonight I’ll be on […]

I’VE covered the Champions League elsewhere but I’m not including the games at Celtic or Valencia in my top tips. They’re just too tough to call especially when there are some stand-out picks in English football. Yeovil featured on my treble and with Paddy Madden again on target notched a fine win at Coventry – their fifth league win on […]
