HARRY REDKNAPP could be waiting in the wings to take over at QPR according to Ladbrokes. The bookies make Redknapp odds on to be the next QPR manager at 4-7 after the London side’s 3-1 home defeat to Southampton. Before kick=off odds of 10-1 were offered about QPR losing and Hughes leaving his post before midnight on Sunday. Despite taking […]

I HAD a nice 7-1 winner on Wednesday night and I’d love to take that form into Saturday’s treble after a disappointing run. It’s three homes for me this weekend and I’m starting with two sides in the Championship whose only defeats recently have been at Cardiff who have a 100 per cent home record. First up it’s Middlesbrough who […]

IT’S not the greatest week for punters but if the form book plays out a profit should be made tonight at least. The card is dominated by FA Cup and Scottish Cup ties and there are some strong looking contenders. League One leaders Tranmere are being heavily backed and are now a biggest 8-11 with Coral and William Hill at […]

MY treble was disappointingly beaten by Coventry who were surprised by Scunthorpe at home. Plenty of people entered the contest with many cursing failures by the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Motherwell. In fact in the end there was only winning treble posted and that came from Fin H who backed West Brom, Cardiff and Aberdeen which was a good […]

THERE are some huge games on Sunday including Chelsea v Liverpool and Man City v Spurs. Chelsea picked up a Champions League boost by beating Shakhtar in midweek and should see of a Reds side who have only won twice in the league this season. The Blues’ only failure at home was to Man United and they look worth backing […]

MY last three trebles posted on the site in midweek have come in so hopefully I’ll follow with the enhanced Saturday offering. The card last week was dominated by cup ties so I focused on the big guns but Chelsea and Man City let me down as they were held to draws. I’m hoping to fare better this weekend with […]

FIVE draws in the Champions League on Tuesday and a lack of goals in the English Championship made it a good night for bookies. My superb both teams to score run ended in spectacular fashion but I don’t think anyone have bet on the likes of Middlesbrough and Millwall to draw a blank. I had some winners thanks to the […]

WELL done to everyone who posted a winning treble at the weekend. There were four winners – excluding those who put up double chance selections. These are much easier to pick and I’d ask one again that you limit the treble to win-draw-win. Those who posted top trebles were Donald Priest (Southend, Hibs, Carlisle); Steven (Man Utd, Huddersfield, Hibs); Big […]

WEST BROM have enjoyed a terrific start under Steve Clarke and should pick up three points when Southampton visit the Hawthorns on Monday night. The Baggies have won four out of five at home, netting 10 goals, and tackle a Southampton side who have lost all four on the road and conceded an average of 16 goals. There aren’t many […]

IT’S good to be back and hopefully I can celebrate by landing a treble which has been enhanced by our friends at Betway.com. The card is a bit trickier with a host of FA Cup and Scottish Cup ties and there are plenty of non-league sides involved to make picking winners a bit more difficult. So I’ve decided to focus […]

AFTER nearly three weeks away I’m back – and today’s tips will be up later. Poor old Scott McAlpine’s away nursing his sore back after carrying the site while I’ve been off. Unfortunately tonight’s card isn’t great for starting back with the Capital One and Scottish League Cup two of my least favourite tournaments. I will of course put up […]

WE’RE pretty restricted this weekend but I’ll give it a go anyway. Two of my sides are on the five to follow but it’s difficult to avoid with the games on offer. Start the treble with Tranmere who weren’t given a prayer at the start of the season but what a job Prenton Park legend Ronnie Moore is doing. It’s […]

SCOTLAND and Wales face off in a Battle of Britain clash that features two nations who have made disappointing starts to their Group A campaigns. Wales have lost twice and Scotland drawn twice so nothing less than a win is required in Cardiff. The Tartan Army’s spirits have been raised by the addition of the two Fletchers to the squad. […]

THERE are some huge games all over Europe on Sunday and some crackers in the Premier League. Newcastle v Man United has traditionally been one of the highlights of the season on Tyneside and last January Alan Pardew’s men recorded a memorable 3-0 victory. Sir Alex Ferguson’s Reds head north on the back of last week’s home defeat to Spurs […]

IT was two out of three again last week and I’m all out to go one better after landing a couple three out of four trebles in midweek. I’m starting with Fife outfits Dunfermline and Raith Rovers and adding West Brom at home to QPR. Dunfermline have won six in a row in the league and head to Falkirk looking […]

THE one English fixture tonight is a Premier League clash between QPR and West Ham. Big-spending Rangers will feel they should be doing better than two points from five games and this is a chance to make amends. The Hammers have started the season better but have been much stronger at home than away so I fancy QPR to notch […]

I WAS delighted to land my first enhanced Betway treble last week although it wasn’t all plain sailing. All of my teams – Partick Thistle, Spurs and Newcastle – won by a single goal and two of them were Sunday matches. Betway enhanced the odds to 7-2 and I hope you were on. This weekend the coupon looks a bit […]

IT was a case of what might have been last night but still a profitable evening. The both teams to score line frustrated me with three out of three winning and the other two being postponed. I had high hopes for the fivefold but it was sod’s law that the two matches off were on my one line. Anyway a […]

ON paper Tuesday’s card looks inviting but you have to be aware that many favourites will be fielding weakened teams in Capital One Cup and Communites League Cup matches. So check latest team news if you are having a bet and don’t go daft with too many selections. In the Capital One Cup I’ll be on Everton at Leeds as […]

THERE’S a good looking Championship clash tonight as Huddersfield travel to Blackpool. Both sides are in decent form but Blackpool’s perfect home record suggests they’ll shade although I’d be happier with better odds than a best 8-11 at Ladbrokes and Paddy Power. Huddersfield haven’t lost since the opening day of the season and have shrugged off the loss of £8million […]

IT’S a Super Sunday early in the season that sees titanic clashes between Liverpool v Man Utd and Man City v Arsenal. And for good measure you can throw in Newcastle v Norwich and Spurs v QPR. First up at 1.30pm it’s Anfield and there will be an electric and poignant atmosphere inside the stadium which makes you wonder if […]

Friday, Ewood Park, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 LEADERS Blackburn are 5-6 with the likes of Blue Square and Stan James to beat Middlesbrough in the Championship tonight – and it’s a bet worth taking. Rovers are unbeaten in their opening six and a face a side who rarely impress on their travels. Boro, a biggest 15-4 at BetVictor […]

IT was two out of three again on the treble last Saturday – although strangely my Tuesday and Thursday trebles this week trapped. Unfortunately they were the ones not enhanced by Betway. This weekend’s coupon isn’t easy and at first glance not too many teams jumped out at me. One that did was Partick Thistle and to be fair they’ve […]

Monday, Goodison Park, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE is a decent-looking match on Sky tonight and remember the last time they were the Monday offering Everton produced a dazzling display to beat Man United. If they repeat that performance I have no doubt Davie Moyes’ men will beat a Newcastle side with a few defensive problems. In the […]

IT was a pretty exciting day in the Premier League and an awful one of the thousands of people who put Celtic or Rangers in their accumulators. Today’s English top-flight encounter is tough to call and I’m looking at a draw between Reading and Spurs at 5-2 with bet365. Andre Villas-Boas is yet to pick up his first victory as […]
