THERE are three Premier League games tonight and two more tomorrow as the hectic run of festive games continues. Man City are one of those sides who have suffered from a packed card and will hope to get back on track at home to Liverpool. City failed to score in a 0-0 draw at West Brom then lost 1-0 at […]

THERE is virtually a full card to choose from on Tuesday and I’m taking a mixed English and Scottish line. I’ve said I’ll stick with Airdrie until one of their games fail to feature both teams scoring and it shows no signs of happening. The Diamonds visit an Albion Rovers side to whom they lost 7-2 in November having thumped […]

FIRSTLY, a Happy New Year to all readers and I’ll keep this short in case you’re still blurry-eyed from last night’s celebrations. There are two games in the EPL today with West Brom kicking off against Everton at 12.30pm followed by Sunderland v Man City at 3pm. I’ll start with the second game which will provide Martin O’Neill’s men with […]

WHEN I started looking at the weekend card I was really struggling to pick homes, not just value ones, but homes of any sort. It wasn’t until I noticed the amount of games arranged for Friday that I began to realise why. There are matches scheduled tonight and at first glance I saw as many homes from them as from […]

IF you could only have one bet tonight it would have to involve goals at Carrow Road. Norwich entertain Spurs and that should be the right word to describe a game which should be in direct contrast to last night’s no-score between Stoke and Aston Villa. Paul Lambert’s Norwich have been a breath of fresh air, scoring plenty but not […]

I’M hoping the festive card gets off to a bang with loads of goals on Boxing Day. My both teams to score fivefold starts with Bolton v Newcastle in the Premier League. Owen Scott’s side got the win they needed against Blackburn last weekend and should go into the home clash with Newcastle in better spirits. I reckon they could […]

THE SFL takes centre stage on Boxing Day north of the border – so let’s see if we can deliver a knock-out winning treble to floor the bookies. And at this festive time let’s hope our coupons don’t turn out to be turkeys! We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Dundee’s home clash with Morton. After […]

SPURS need to avoid defeat in the London derby to have the capital bragging rights over Christmas. Chelsea haven’t won at White Hart Lane for six years and I’d have fancied a full-strength Spurs. But boss Harry Redknapp is without Aaron Lennon and has doubts over Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor. If Bale and Lennon don’t make it […]

IT was four out of five on a fairly limited Tuesday card with only Berwick failing to score. I’d love to go one better tonight and there are many more games to choose from. Unfortunately many of them are continental cup matches and how they go depends on the strength of side put out by the top teams. Anyway let’s […]

THERE are so many markets available these days it’s difficult to cover all bases. As well as win-draw-win markets there are the well-known first scorer, correct score, handicap, over/under and HT betting. Both teams to score is now one of the most placed bets and there are loads more obscure offerings such as first goal time bands and total goal […]

ALL over Europe there are games dotted about in the league and cups. I’m starting my line with the two Premier League matches, Blackburn v Bolton and Wolves v Norwich. I’ve previewed the games on the site so I won’t go into boring detail. To sum up there could be plenty of goals at Ewood Park between two sides who […]

Ewood Park, Tuesday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE have been some massive games in England so far but probably none bigger than Tuesday’s Blackburn v Bolton relegation scrap. OK, it doesn’t match the likes Man Utd v Man City or Chelsea v Arsenal for glitz and glamour but there will be a huge prize for the victor at […]

Molineux, Tuesday, 7.45pm IF Blackburn v Bolton is a massive match then this affair at Molineux is almost as important to Wolves. Mick McCarthy’s men are down in fourth bottom, five clear of Bolton and four ahead of Blackburn, as they prepare to welcome Norwich. Wolves threw away a golden chance of points against Stoke at the weekend and like Blackburn […]

Monday, Selhurst Park, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 SOME games cry out shortage of goals and this is one of them. I’d like to be wrong because you want a Monday night spectacle but Palace v Brum has tightness and dourness written all over it. Palace have drawn four in a row at home, three 0-0s and a 1-1 […]

MAN CITY are now 66-1 with William Hill to win all four trophies available to them after climbing back to the top of the EPL. City were second to city rivals United for a matter of hours before beating Arsenal 1-0 at home. Roberto Mancini’s men are 4-6 favourites to win the Premier League title with Hills who also offer […]

I PICKED five out of six in the English Premiership on Saturday and I’m hoping for a similar result today. The correct tips included draws at Everton and Newcastle while Blackburn’s defeat was the one I got wrong. I’m looking at another draw in Sunday’s showdown between Man City and Arsenal. City are protectings a 110 per cent home record but […]

MY Scottish yesterday returned a treble with the other two postponed but my English one let us down. It was summed up by Peterborough keeping their first clean sheet of the season at home to Coventry. If you backed both lines you’ll have made a small profit so let’s invest it on the Sunday games. I’m starting with the big […]

JOE WALLACE is still laid up with a bad back so I’m continuing to fill in with the SFL treble. I’m starting with one of mine and Joe’s favourites. Stranraer have rattled in nine goals in two superb wins against East Stirling and Annan. The victories came after a run of four games without a win and have pushed the […]

GOT to start in the Premier League with Blackburn v West Brom. Rovers still haven’t kept a clean sheet since April but won their last home game 4-2 against Swansea. Steve Kean’s men conceded two goals in the last six minutes at Sunderland last week when it looked like they might get that elusive clean sheet. They’ll need a good […]

OUTSIDE the SPL the match of the day is Ross County v Dundee – and there could be plenty of goals at Victoria Park. First Division leaders County have carved out an eight-point lead at the top thanks to six wins in a row. They have netted 14 goals in four games and at this stage of the season are […]

THERE are a couple of League matches on Friday featuring two of the top teams. Second-placed Southend face Bradford at home while third-placed Cheltenham travel to Barnet. I’m not going to mess about with any fancy bets and simply go with a double on Southend and Cheltenham. Paul Sturrock’s Southend were beaten 3-0 by Cheltenham then rested some players as […]

Tuesday, McDiarmid Park, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 IT was a big night in for last night’s Chelsea v Man City showdown and it’s followed by SPL action from Perth tonight. After an explosive start I didn’t think the clash at Stamford Bridge was the best with both sides seemingly settling for a draw until City were reduced to […]
Posted on: 12 Dec 2011
Stamford Bridge, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE’S no doubt Chelsea have perked up in recent weeks. Back-to-back 3-0 wins have restored faith in their Premier League credentials and sent them into the last 16 of the Champions League. Staying alive in Europe’s elite tournament is something Man City didn’t manage but in the Premier League they have […]

THERE are two big games in the Premier League on Sunday with Sunderland tackling Blackburn and Spurs travelling to Stoke. I like the idea of backing on-form Spurs but not sure if Martin O’Neill can notch a win in his first game in charge of Sunderland. So let’s start at the Stadium of Light where the atmosphere should be electric […]

IT’S only a fortnight until Christmas – so now is the perfect time for a winning Scottish Football League treble that would fill us with festive cheer and have the bookies crying into their mulled wine. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Dundee’s home clash with Queen of the South. After a bitterly disappointing start […]
