THE Spanish Cup takes centre stage tonight with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid favourites to join Real Madrid and Sevilla in the semi-finals. Barca head to Malaga (KO 9pm) level at 2-2 while Atletico (KO 7pm) take a 2-0 first-half lead to Real Betis. I expect La Liga’s top two to progress even if the games tonight could be close-fought affairs. […]

SWANSEA are now just 1-5 with Ladbrokes to break Bradford’s hearts in the Capital One Cup Final. The Bantams have a better chance of lifting the trophy than if they were to play Chelsea however with them priced at 10-3 to make history having been 1250-1 shots when the tournament began. It’s 14-1 Bradford extend their penalty shoot-out run in […]

TUESDAY’S tips made up for a poor weekend and it was great to pick three anytime scorers who netted first. By the comments plenty of you backed Christian Benteke, Gary Hooper and Jordan Rhodes on both markets with my first-scorer treble paying 71-1 and the anytime part returning about 11-1. I’d love to perform a repeat tonight but obviously there […]

PADDY POWER have banished the January blues for Scottish football fans by paying out nearly £40,000 on Queen of the South and Rangers winning the Second and Third Divisions respectively. Queens have won 18 of 21 games and won’t be caught while Rangers are 19 points clear – so there’s no chance of either decision coming back to haunt the […]

PAUL LAMBERT is 5-6 with Coral to leave Villa Park by midnight on Saturday following Aston Villa’s shock elimination from the Capital One Cup. The result sees the pressure increase on the manager and with a tricky-looking FA Cup tie away to Millwall on Friday, Lambert’s could face the axe. Coral make the former Norwich boss 4-6to be the next […]

I’VE covered the big games at Villa Park and Parkhead elsewhere so here’s my thoughts on some of the other matches. On the continent the biggest tie is the Italian Cup semi-final first leg between Serie A’s top two Juventus and Lazio. But odds of 8-13 at Paddy Power and Coral on a home win look a tad skinny but […]

THERE were goals, goals, goals in the SPL last weekend as the top flight bounced out of cold storage with a bang. William Hill offered 5-6 over 16.5 goals and it was easily beaten by a haul of 25 with every team on target except Aberdeen. Celtic and Dundee United meet tonight and were responsible for seven of the strikes […]

ASTON VILLA were turned over in the first leg of the Capital One Cup but are still favourites to reach Wembley at the expense of League Two Bradford. Paul Lambert’s men were beaten 3-1 but are no bigger than 11-10 with the likes of Paddy Power and Ladbrokes to qualify for the Final. To have a chance Villa must score […]

I’VE tentatively tipped Everton to win at Southampton tonight but have no problem going with Benfica at Moreirense. Unbeaten Benfica face a side at the bottom and with just one with this season. More tellingly they lost 5-0 at second bottom Setubal last time out. Obviously Benfica are fairly short at a best 1-4 with William Hill and Coral but […]

EVERTON head for St Mary’s confident of adding to home fans’ misery after the unpopular decision to axe boss Nigel Adkins. I don’t like backing against sides with new managers but Southampton fans are up in arms, players aren’t happy and it’s not an ideal situation for Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine will have to hit the ground running if he […]

WE don’t have to worry too much about the weather today after wrecked a lot of plans yesterday. My Euro treble has to start with Atletico Madrid against Levante as they try to close the gap on leaders Barcelona to eight points and make it 11 home wins on the bounce. Atletico are 3-10 at Betway and it’s difficult to […]

IT’S a second successive Super Sunday – and hopefully it will be as profitable as the last one. Last weekend I tipped up the Manchester double and today there could be a London party. The big games are Chelsea v Arsenal and Spurs v Man United and of course they are tough to call. Chelsea have been poor at home […]
Posted on: 18 Jan 2013
IT’S West Brom v Aston Villa, Steve Clarke v Paul Lambert and a big game for both clubs. I don’t like picking derbies but this one is weighted in favour of the Baggies. It’s been a bad week for Clarke’s troops who threw away a 2-0 lead to lose at Reading then crashed out of the FA Cup at home […]
Posted on: 18 Jan 2013
WINS for Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Belenenses plus Falcao’s opener made it a good Thursday – and there’s enough for punters to get their teeth into tonight. There’s a big game in the Championship with Leicester entertaining Middlesbrough. A plunge on the Foxes, who have won four in a row, has seen their price drop to a best 8-11 (various) […]
Posted on: 17 Jan 2013
THE obvious double tonight is to take a punt on big guns Atletico Madrid and Benfica. But they’re both involved in cup action and we know what can happen there especially as the duo are likely to rest some stars. However, both should win at home to Real Betis and at Academica respectively. Atletico have been one of the success […]

SUNDERLAND look one of the best bets in the FA Cup tonight and they launch my treble at home to Bolton. I’m also on West Brom against QPR and both should win if they play strong sides. Complete the treble with Brentford who are against a Southend side who crashed 3-0 at Exeter at the weekend and have gone off […]

GETAFE have recovered from the loss of Michael Laudrup to continue growing as a La Liga force. The Madrid side have climbed into the top half of the table after a slow start and will be looking to move up further by beating lowly Granada at home tonight. Getafe were unbeaten in five before the winter break and returned to […]

RESULTS were poor for punters on Saturday – and bookies kept counting the cash in the evening with Real Madrid’s draw at Osasuna a sore one for anyone who got involved. Hopefully things will get better – and certainly the matches at Arsenal and Man United should provide more entertainment than most of the games featured on Match of the […]

IT really is a Super Sunday and it could pay punters to bank on the Manchester rivals as they step up the title chase. United have beaten Liverpool in seven of the last eight league meetings at Old Trafford and should see off a side that’s been hit and miss this season. Liverpool have relied too much on Luis Suarez […]

MY feeling was one of relief when last week’s treble trapped – making it a good start to the new year. It landed at 3-1 and I’m putting up a similarly priced line this weekend. So let’s start with Norwich against Newcastle. I tipped Brighton to beat their Premier League opponents in the FA Cup but it was easier than […]

Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 ANYONE know how tonight’s Championship clash between Wolves and Blackburn will go? I’ve got admit I don’t have a clue. This assessment is nothing about form and all about the clubs’ managerial manouvres. You baulk at backing against a side with a new boss because invariably there is an immediate change in fortunes […]

IT’S been said there’s more chance of aliens landing on earth than Barcelona losing to Cordoba in the Spanish Cup tonight. The Nou Camp giants beat the second-tier minnows 2-0 away in the first leg and are expected to increase their advantage despite fielding a generally reserve team. Barca are no bigger than 1-10 to win and it’s difficult to […]

Monday, 7.45pm, live on ESPN (updated with team news) GAMES such as Mansfield v Liverpool and Wigan v Bournemouth showed us the minnows can give the big guns frights in the FA Cup. The Liverpool game especially proved the importance of seeing starting line-ups before having a bet. As soon as it was revealed Daniel Sturridge would start punters were […]

HOW many times do you put on a line absolutely convinced you’ll be picking up winnings a few hours later? It happens to me most weeks and especially with the enhanced top treble. I’ve had more losers than winners with this bet during the season and that’s been disappointing. It does seem as if it’s jinxed with sides on long […]

Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AFTER Hearts v Hibs bored us tears for 80 minutes or so how will we cope with tonight’s live TV offering from the Midlands. The Edinburgh derby never lived up to its billing but at least the final 10 minutes was more interesting with both sides coming close to scoring. This may be […]
