WAYNE ROONEY has been cut from 16-1 to 7-1 by bet365 to be England’s top scorer at Euro 2012 after his ban was reduced two two games. He’s now 1-33 with bet365 to be picked for Fabio Capello’s finals squad after being cleared to play in the final group game against Ukraine. The Man United ace is 10-1 not to be […]

I GOT one wrong and one right with the Manchester clubs in the Champions League last night. No one predicted United to crash out in Basel but I expected City to beat an under-strength but still to finish third with Napoli winning in Villarreal. It really was a shocker for United and a result that could have serious repercussions at […]

Monday, Craven Cottage, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IF this had been a Saturday match I reckon Liverpool would have been one of my top away picks which would have meant a smaller payout. That’s assuming a Reds win and I’m pretty sure they will see off a Fulham side who have won just once at home this season. […]

THERE are five games in England and Everton are possibly the best value. Davie Moyes’ men have won their last two to move into their customary top-half place. To be fair to Tony Pulis’ men they were at home and the draw with Dynamo Kiev has put them through to the last 32. Stoke can now concentrate on the league […]

Sunday, Tannadice, 12.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IT’S a fixture that’s smacked of goals in recent years – Dundee United v Celtic. The Hoops have hit nine goals in their last two clashes with the Arabs and are 13-2 with William Hill to bag four or more at Tannadice tomorrow. Both teams have netted in the last five meetings and […]

OUR SFL man Joe Wallace is still out of action so I’m putting up the treble again this weekend. Last week I picked two out of three and I’m starting with a side who came up trumps. I backed Ross County to beat Livingston and it was a 3-0 stroll for the side beginning to look unstoppable as they march […]

Crystal Palace v Derby, Friday, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 Fleetwood v Yeovil, Friday, 7.30, live on ESPN THEY say clubs are tied to TV schedules and that’s never been truer this week for Crystal Palace. Dougie Freedman’s side banked a fortune from beating Man United in the Carling Cup on Wednesday but the price they have to pay […]

Fir Park, Friday, 7.45pm THE SPL’S Friday night experiment continues with third-placed Well facing Pat Fenlon’s Hibs. Aberdeen hammered Dunfermline in the first look at Friday football in front of a better than expected crowd and Well will be hoping to put on a similar show for their fans after giving them a host of cut-price incentives to attend. Well […]

I WONDER if Jack Butland will be watching Friday’s Euro 2012 draw and thinking: I coud be playing there in the summer. If your first reaction is Jack Who? that’s understandable because it was the same as mine when I saw the little-known player linked with call-up. Bet365 reckon the Cheltenham star has half a chance and make him 12-1 […]

LAST night the British teams let us down big style with Celtic and Birmingham failing to net. Tonight I’m trying another fourfold and not to be put off I’m starting with Stoke v Dynamo Kiev. The Brittania has been less of a fortress for Tony Pulis’ men this season with two defeats and eight goals conceded in seven games. Stoke, […]

IT’S part one of a Europa League double header on Wednesday and I’ll be putting up both teams to score lines for tonight and tomorrow. There are 12 games each night so let’s go for a straight fourfold. And I’ve got to do better than Tuesday when I was disappointed with ome out of six. I’m starting with Metalist v […]

ALL season the Championship and Blue Square Premier have been good for this market so let’s hope that’s the case on Tuesday. I’m starting my line with Burnley v Ipswich – a match that really promises goals galore. Burnley ended a barren spell by battling back from 2-0 down to win at Hull at the weekend and both sides have […]

IT’S Carling Cup quarter-finals week with England’s big five all involved. However, that doesn’t make it any easier to predict winners. Bosses will make massive changes to starting line-ups as Arsenal face Man City and Chelsea take on Liverpool. I had to make my mind up on Monday about these games for the Daily Record and warned you I might change my […]

The Valley, Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 RECORDS are there to be broken and Huddersfield’s could go on Monday night. Lee Clark’s men are on an amazing 43-match unbeaten league run including 18 games this season – 10 wins and eight draws. But their toughest task so far will come away to League One leaders Charlton who are […]

I HAD planned to post a European both teams to score line this morning but was thrown by the news of Gary Speeds’s death. It’s a tragedy for his family and Welsh football and I felt for players such as Shay Given, a former team-mate, who were struggling to control their emotions before the Swansea v Aston Villa game […]

THERE is no doubt much of the focus on Sunday will be on Anfield where Man City go trying to carve out a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Man United’s draw against Newcastle means the gap is four and seven would be a significant one. It’s a tough game to call. If City take their league […]

Sunday, Rugby Park, 12.45, live Sky Sports 4 CELTIC duly closed the gap on Rangers at the top of the SPL to four points by trouncing St Mirren – but it should be back to seven on Sunday. Rangers return to the Rugby Park venue where they so convincingly won the title last season and Ally McCoist will know how […]

I FOLLOWED last weekend’s success with four from five on Tuesday and Wednesday so some small profit there. But I’m hoping for a full house of six with my weekend both teams to score picks. I start my English line in the Premier League where we had two out of two last week. I really like our chances in the battle between Norwich and […]

OUR Scottish Football League expert Joe Wallace has been laid up all week with a bad back. So in his absence let’s hope I can continue on from his recent winning run and come up with a treble to put the smile back on his face. I start off in the Irn-Bru Second Division and focus on Arbroath’s trip to […]

WE’VE got almost a full league programme in Scotland to choose from with a couple of Scottish Cup replays thrown in. I’m starting my line in the SPL with an intriguing one, Hearts v Inverness. The Highlanders look nicely priced at a biggest 7-2 at Ladbrokes and Coral and they should certainly be backed to score after hitting six on […]

NOT since the ‘tache himself, David Seaman, graced the pitch at Highbury has the Premier League seen as much facial hair as it does this Movember. Always up for a bit of fun, our friends at Bodog have come up with a cracking moustachio’d offer for this weekend’s matches. They’ll double the odds on any first goalscorer or anytime scorer […]

CELTIC were in danger of falling 15 points behind Rangers last weekend – but this weekend the gap could be down to four. The Hoops found themselves 10 points off the pace after St Johnstone held Rangers 0-0 at Ibrox and are just 2-5 with McBookie.com to cut the advantage to four points by Saturday. Home wins for Neil Lennon’s men against Dunfermline […]

I’M aiming to follow my weekend success on the both teams to score market and there are a few games that stand out in midweek. The FA Cup replays look full of goals so I’m taking a mix of Tuesday and Wednesday matches and hopefully the line will be worth the wait. So let’s start with the most obvious on […]

Links Park, Tuesday, 7.45pm THERE weren’t many surprise results at the weekend but one was Ayr’s home draw with Montrose in the William Hill Scottish Cup. Ayr have beaten three SPL sides to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup so were expected to brush aside the Links Park men. That wasn’t the case and by all accounts the […]
