MICK McCARTHY and Ally McCoist have been backed at Paddy Power in the sack races markets north and south of the border. McCarthy, has been cut from 4-6 to 1-2, after his side’s tame defeat by Liverpool at the weekend. Despite improved form Blackburn’s Steve Kean remains second favourite at 6-1, although he was 5-4 favourite three weeks ago. Chelsea’s Andre […]

NEIL WARNOCK is the early favourite to replace axed Simon Grayson at Leeds. Ladbrokes reckon the former QPR boss will be recruited by Ken Bates and they could be right. The bookies make Gus Poyet 9-2 second favourite while club legend Gordon Strachan is a 5-1 chance. Lee Clark is 10-1 to swap Huddersfield for Leeds while Gary McAllister is […]

FULHAM are possibly best bets in the Premier League on Wednesday as they host West Brom. Martin Jol’s men have sparkled in recent home games, hitting 11 in their last three, including five against Newcastle and two late ones to defeat Arsenal. West Brom have been inconsistent performers this season but won their last away match at Stoke. However, they […]

SERIE A isn’t always famed for goals but Wednesday night’s fixtures could throw up a stack. After Tuesday’s near miss when Wolves denied us a fivefold I’m focusing my efforts on the Italian league where there are several games that are traditionally high scoring. Take Inter Milan v Palermo for example. It was 4-3 Palermo when the sides met earlier […]

IT’S amazing how a change of manager just about guarantees a change in fortune. The effect is often so dramatic it’s no wonder chairmen make new appointments so regularly. In fact, imagine if they changed boss every week. One side who have seen an immediate uplift are Atletico Madrid who are unbeaten under new boss Diego Simeone. The capital outfit […]

AFTER last Sunday’s success I’m under pressure to come up with another winning both teams to score line. My five paid 13-1 last week and with nothing much on the UK I’ve scoured Europe for my selections. And I’m starting with Genoa v Napoli in Serie A. Napoli have been involved in plenty of high scorers in recent weeks although […]

IT’S FA Cup weekend and I’ll start the line with a couple of knockout games. First up it’s Leicester v Swindon with Paolo di Canio’s men looking to produce another shock after beating Wigan in the previous round. A couple of weeks ago you’d have fancied the League Two men but successive wins against Nottm Forest (4-0 in a cup […]

I COULD have started with Ayr v Killie in the League Cup semi-final – but I’ll leave it out because I know you guys don’t like me including the early one. There should be goals in that Ayrshire derby at Hampden and I reckon it will be a cracking contest. Anyway, my line starts with Hamilton v Raith Rovers in […]

PUNTERS up and down the country will be looking to end January with a winning line – so let’s hope this weekend’s SFL treble comes up trumps. We don’t have a full card to play with because of League Cup semi-final fixtures but that shouldn’t stop us from giving the bookies a bashing. We start off in the Irn-Bru Second […]

HARRY REDKNAPP would probably advise bunging a wad on Spurs tonight even if he says he’s not great with figures. The White Hart Lane boss has spent the week on trial over tax avoidance charges but will still pick the side for tonight’s FA Cup clash at Watford. Redknapp, as he did in the previous round and for the Europa League, […]

AFRICAN NATIONS matches have been tough to call so far with one of the favourites Senegal already out after two defeats. No game has been decided by more than one goal but that trend may end tonight when tournamant favourites Ivory Coast face Burkina Faso (7pm, live on Eurosport). In their opener I tipped Didier Drogba to score first and […]

Nou Camp, Wednesday, 9pm, live Sky Sports 2 BARCELONA got the better of Jose Mourinho yet again last week and should complete the job on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s men lead 1-0 from the Spanish Cup quarter-final first leg and I can’t see any way back for their rivals. The defeat and manner of it earned Mourinho boos from the Bernabeu […]

Anfield, Wednesday, 7.45pm, live Sky Sports 1 KENNY DALGLISH’S weekend rant was done mainly to charge his troops for tonight’s Carling Cup showdown with Man City. The Reds were awful against Bolton on Saturday but should be up for a titanic tie in front of their home fans that has the carrot of a Wembley spot at the end of […]
Posted on: 24 Jan 2012
DOUGIE FREEDMAN says Cardiff’s bottle will crash tonight – but will he be right? His Crystal Palace side head for Wales leading 1-0 from the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final with the prize of a showpiece date with Man City or Liverpool at stake. Cardiff are by far the better side on league form but Freedman, who rested nine […]

MY 13-1 lucky for some Sunday success seemed lucky for many going by the response. I picked five out of five and I’m going for a repeat performance. I was tempted to add a few more from the Blue Square Premier but let’s not get greedy. However, at the end of this piece there are two extra selections for the […]

IT was a decent enough Sunday after a tough Saturday. My both teams to score fivefold came up, I tipped Man United to win at Arsenal, Gareth Bale at 9-2 to net for Spurs and Didier Drogba to score first at 11-4 for Ivory Coast in the African Nations Cup. It was a bit of sweat on the both teams […]

Sunday, 4pm AFRICAN CUP favourites Ivory Coast kick off their campaign with what should be an easy win against Sudan. I say should but that was the case for second favourites Senegal yesterday but they crashed to a shock defeat to Zambia. So Ivory Coast can’t take anything for granted and I reckon that result will have given them a warning they […]

FOR me this line has to start with Arsenal v Man United. There were of course 10 goals in the last meeting between the sides when United won 8-2. And there could be plenty more at the Emirates between two sides who struggle to keep clean sheets. On the continent I’m starting with one that pays a best 10-11 with […]

SUPER SUNDAY and Clash of the Titans – they are phrases often overused. But this weekend the tags are spot on. First we have Man City v Spurs followed by Arsenal v Man United in a spectacular double header. The earlier matches between the sides this season produced 16 goals so hopefully there will be plenty more thrills and spills. […]

LIBYA scored just six goals in six games to qualify for the finals so don’t expect a goalfest when the action gets under way tonight. Opening matches of tournaments are often cagey and co-hosts Equitorial Guinea will do well to break down a stubborn defence that conceded just one goal in six qualifiers. Guinea will be backed by a fanatical […]

All games Saturday 3pm (except Norwich 12.45) ONE day it will happen – either Norwich or Blackburn will keep a clean sheet in the Premier League. Hopefully Saturday”s not the day as for the second week running they form the basis of my both teams to score line. Both did the business last week with Blackburn beating Fulham 3-1 and […]
Posted on: 21 Jan 2012
All games Saturday 3pm I’M starting this week’s line with a struggling team who can’t stop scoring. We’re talking about Hibs who lie second bottom of the SPL despite netting in their last five games. They followed a 3-2 Scottish Cup win at Cowdenbeath by handing boss Pat Fenlon his first three points with another 3-2 success at Dunfermline. Strikers […]

THE January blues are really kicking in – so the best way to cheer punters up is by picking a winning SFL treble. Once again we have been doing our homework and hopefully have come up with a line that will bash the bookies. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Falkirk’s away trip to face […]

IVORY COAST are the 6-4 favourites to win the African Cup of Nations but bookies and punters are in disagreement over the biennial tournament. The West African team, which boasts the talents of Didier Drogba, the Toure brothers, Cheick Tiote and Gervinho among others have long been regarded as the most star-studded of squads but have failed to live up […]
