CAST your mind back to August and remember West Brom pumping Liverpool 3-0. It was a great start for Steve Clarke and a dreadful one for Brendan Rodgers but the roles have been reversed in recent weeks with the Reds going well and the Baggies fading. I can’t see anything but a Liverpool win at Anfield tonight but they are […]

WITH the Champions League on the horizon there aren’t as many big games as usual today – and of course some sides will be resting players for big ties. Not Real Madrid though. They beat Sevilla 4-1 on Saturday with a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick. Not Barca either as they have started Lionel Messi against Getafe in the early game. And […]

Aston Villa v West Ham (Sky Sports 1, 1.30) Man United v Everton (Sky Sports 1, 4.0) ALL eyes will be on Man United today as they bid to win the title by beating Everton. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side will roar 12 points clear of Man City after the champions crashed 3-1 at Southampton yesterday. Watch for some bookies paying […]

I OFTEN state there is a random nature to this market and I’m starting Saturday’s English line with two games that prove that. First up it’s Southampton v Man City and can the Saints go marching on under new boss Mauricio Pochettino? The Argentine’s first game in charge was a fairly low key 0-0 draw at home to Everton but […]

ISN’T it great when teams play out a 4-3 game then meet the following week? That’s the case with Dumbarton and Livingston who were involved in a seven-goal cracker at the BetButler with the Sons recovering from 4-1 down to almost force a draw. The action switches to the Almondvale Stadium but that won’t faze Dumbarton who have played some […]

IF there’s one game Sean O’Driscoll wants to win this season – it’s against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Bristol City boss faces the side who sacked him against fans’ wishes late last year. His replacement Alex McLeish lasted just seven games before saying he couldn’t work with the owners and a once proud club seem to be in a […]

Sky Sports 1, tonight, 7pm I’M not going to start tipping darts matches because I’m no expert but I know there are a lot of fans on the site geting excited about the first round of Premier League ties tonight. Coral are the new official betting partner of the PDC Premier League and the action gets underway in Belfast’s Odyssey […]

DANNY TAYLOR is the first seed to be playing in our head-to-head tipster challenge and he’s made a slow start with three losers. The Oz-based Scot is hoping to make up some ground today on David Smith and has already posted a couple of bets on the internationals. . Hundreds of people who entered the contest didn’t get a chance […]

IT’S not a week I’m a big fan of – dominated by international friendlies and with some Johnstone Paint Trophy matches thrown in. However, it got off to a flying start with two 7-2 winners on Monday night thanks to Wycombe draw no bet and Matt McClure to score. So I can approach the rest of the week knowing my […]

IT’S a quiet football night in the run-up to the friendly (or unfriendly as I prefer to call them) internationals on Wednesday. Sky Sports are showing Gillingham v Wycombe from League Two and on paper it looks like a home win. However, after closer inspection I don’t know if the Gills are worth backing at a best 4-6 with Coral. […]

THERE are three William Hill Scottish Cup ties today with Celtic having a straightforward tie at Raith Rovers. Neil Lennon’s men are no bigger than 2-9 at William Hill to win and could do to nil (10-11, various). The club have managed to hold on to top scorer Gary Hooper and he could celebrate staying with at least one goal. […]

HOW come the games people want to bet on are the toughest to predict? It’s usually the case and I’ve been mulling over how the top match in the Premier League will go today. Liverpool travel to Man City (4pm) and it’s in my mind that Brendan Rodgers’ men have played well against better side. They’ve scored at Old Trafford […]
Posted on: 03 Feb 2013
THIS is one that might come back to haunt me but I’m tipping both teams to score in the late French game. Recently these 8pm kick-offs have finished 1-0 either but Marseille v Nancy should buck the trend. It really stand out as a game where both should score with Marseille’s last three producing 13 goals – with both scoring […]
Posted on: 02 Feb 2013
LAST week the game I was most confident about was East Fife v Ayr. After four 3-2 scorelines this one finished 3-3 – so I’m sticking with Ayr this weekend. I’ve got no reason to desert the Somerset Park side as they entertain Brechin in Division Two. Ayr’s last four matches have featured 15 goals and Brechin’s previous five have […]
Posted on: 01 Feb 2013
I’VE had a decent run on the both teams to score – with two complete winning lines and three others bringing up fourfolds from five in the past week. Let’s hope I can keep on the right road this weekend and after goals galore in the Premier League – when all six matches saw both scored – I’m starting my […]

A LATE collapse by Charlton beat my line last week so I’m hoping for better luck this time round. I’m starting off with Everton against an Aston Villa side whose fortunes show signs of changing any time soon. While Everton were beating West Brom in midweek Villa were crashing 2-1 at home to Newcastle to follow on from their cup […]

THERE’S no doubt the double people will want to be tonight is Leicester and Atletico Madrid – but remember the La Liga high-fliers are without Radamal Falcao. Leicester sit second in the Championship and are looking to take three points at home to struggling Wolves as they try to cement their automatic promotion spot and chase down leaders Cardiff. The […]

DON’T know what’s more exciting – today’s first-round draw for our tipster contest or the transfer window closing. There are bound to be some interesting deals done today and betting comparison site Oddschecker.com have revealed that Deadline Day man Jim White has become such a legend bookies have opened up special markets on the Scot for the day. Odds on […]

BACKERS of favourites got their fingers burned on the FA Cup last weekend. Tonight four of the big guns who return to action are odds on and punters must decide to back them or blank them. I’m quite happy to support two of them but worried about the other two. Man United are no bigger than 1-4 with the likes […]

AFTER all the weekend shocks who’d be a football punter? Anyway we’ve dusted ourselves down and are ready to go again. There are four games in the Premier League and the one I’ve got my eye on is Aston Villa v Newcastle. I haven’t fancied the Tynesiders for a while but Alan Pardew has been busy in the transfer market […]

CELTIC fans lost the UEFA Cup Final to Porto in Seville – but tonight they can make money on Porto and Sevilla. Let’s look at Porto v Gil Vicente first of all. The home side are no bigger than 1-6 at Stan James to keep pace with Benfica at the top of the table. That means the majority of us […]

MANY sports fans will be early to watch Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open Final. If it turns into a marathon you might not want to switch over to Real Madrid v Getafe. I can’t remember the last time a Real match kicked off at 11am UK time but it gives punters a chance to land an […]

LAST week the weather hit my treble so I’m hoping for better luck this time round. I could have gone down the road of taking short-priced FA Cup favourites such as Man Utd, Norwich and Middlesbrough. But anyone who wants to go that will be pick out their selections at a glance by looking at a coupon – they don’t […]

I’VE touched on Millwall v Aston Villa elsewhere but there are several enticing games across Europe tonight. Borussia Dortmund look best bets of all at home to Nurnberg but the German champions are no bigger than 2-9 at Stan James so look at some of the specials. Dortmund have netted five in successive matches against Werder Bremen and Hannover and […]

PAUL LAMBERT survived a vote of confidence after his side’s humbling Capital One Cup semi-final defeat to Bradford. But there will be more calls for his head if his men crash out of the FA Cup at Championship outfit Millwall tonight. Owner Randy Lerner is putting the emphasis on Premier League survival but there is no doubt a second cup […]
