White Hart Lane, Monday, 8pm, Sky Sports 1 BOOKIES say results were predictable at the weekend and let’s hope that continues on Monday night. Spurs entertain Villa and are a biggest 4-7 with bet365 and Paddy Power which is seriously short on a Premier League match involving two sides in the top half. To be fair Harry Redknapp’s side have […]

BOOKIES have admitted Saturday’s football results gave punters their “biggest winning day ever”. Nearly all the major favourites across the English and Scottish divisions won and it’s aways that were particularly good for punters. I hope I played my part by offering up a series of winners, including my five to follow and both teams to score tips. Coral spokesman […]

I’M trying to follow yesterday’s winning sixfold and fivefold with another success on the European games. So let’s start with Hamburg v Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Hamburg should edge a win but after three consecutive score draws and six successive games where both teams have netted you’ve got to wonder when they will next keep a clean sheet. The same […]

Sunday, Stamford Bridge, 4pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AFTER a profitable weekend can we all make money on Super Sunday’s clash between Chelsea and Liverpool? I must admit it’s a difficult call and if forced to pick one side I’d probably say Liverpool were better value at a biggest 4-1 with Betfred. Some of Chelsea’s recent displays have been […]

THE romance of the Cup will be well and truly alive this weekend as minnows dream of booking a dream date with Rangers or Celtic. All SPL teams plus some from the First Division who received a bye join the tournament in the next round and there could be a couple of interesting ties. There are four junior sides left […]

SCOTTISH CUP games dominate the card this weekend but that might be no bad thing. We have SPL matches and the William Hill-sponsored tournament to choose from and I’ll focus on the latter. There are some mismatches in the Cup but with goals galore your bet is up whether it’s 1-1, 2-1 or 8-1 and it’s something to remember. One of […]

IT’S William Hill Scottish Cup weekend – but that hasn’t stopped our SFL man Joe Wallace from going on the hunt for a treble from lower-league teams. There are a host of interesting ties and we kick off with Peterhead’s tricky away clash to face Inverurie Locos. At the start of the season Head were among the favourites to win […]

TO be honest when looking at Tuesday’s internationals there aren’t many games that stand out as high scoring. In fact there could be more nos than yeses on the both teams to score question but then that’s no for punters. So I’ve dug out four I hope will give you a run for your money but don’t play with […]

THERE are plenty of games to choose from on Saturday – unfortunately most are from the FA Cup first round. It’s a minefield to be honest with teams involved from 10 leagues of England’s pyramid system. They range from League One leaders Charlton to Redbridge of Ryman Division One. Hopefully there will be goals galore all over the country […]

Monday, McDiarmid Park, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 Please note: Match postponed (fog). STEVE LOMAS takes charge of St Johnstone for the first time tonight as the club try to fill the big shoes of Derek McInnes. The Irishman is pretty much a coaching novice but then so was McInnes and Owen Coyle before him and they brought success […]

MAN CITY are 200-1 to win all four major trophies and 10-1 to remain unbeaten all season in the Premier League after battling to 3-2 win at QPR. Roberto Mancini’s men are now 10-11 title favourites with Hills who also go 7-4 Man United, 13-2 Chelsea, 20-1 Arsenal and 50-1 Liverpool, Spurs. Newcastle, the only other unbeaten side in the […]

Fir Park, 12pm, live on ESPN IT’S a big day for Celtic who travel to a Motherwell side they trail by three points in the SPL. More importantly the Hoops currently trail Rangers by 15 points, with two games in hand, and can’t afford to lose more ground on their fiercest rivals. Well have performed superbly this season but lost […]

THERE are three Premier League games on another super Sunday. The best game should be at Craven Cottage where Europa League rivals Fulham and Spurs clash head on. Fulham were superb in midweek when they hammered Wisla Krakow while Spurs’ second string went down away to Rubin Kazan. Harry Redknapp has made it clear the league is his priority so […]

WE’RE well into the group stage of the Europa League so we should know what to expect now – plenty of goals and loads of team rotation. The format makes it tough for punters with sides, especially those facing long trips such as Spurs, resting most of their first-choice players. Spurs go to Rubin Kazan in Russia without sick […]

IT’S not easy notching back-to-back away wins in the Championship but it’s a feat Hull should manage on Tuesday night. They won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on Saturday and have only lost one out of seven away from home. In those seven Nigel Pearson’s men have conceded just six goals and are on an unbeaten run of seven after a […]

Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Monday, 8pm, live Sky Sports Xtra ON Hallow’een Night you’re bound to see a few scary looking Freddy Krueger lookalikes out and about. But it’s another Freddie I’ll be keeping an eye out for. Freddie Kanoute is that man and I fancy him to score first in the La Liga clash between Sevilla and Granada. Kanoute […]

Monday, Brittania Stadium, 7.45pm, live on Sky THERE was some cracking action from the weekend live matches with Chelsea v Arsenal the pick of the bunch. Matches between some of the big guns – Blues 3, Arsenal 5; Man Utd 8, Arsenal 2 and Man Utd 1, Man City 6 – have been real goalfests. These are the games fans […]

I MAY have edged Andy McKechnie in our friendly challenge on Saturday but neither of us picked a winning line. And the bad news is it’s just as tough on Sunday if you try to steer clear of all the 1-2, 4-7 and 4-9 shots in leagues such as Holland and Denmark. I’m focusing on Europe’s top leagues where the prices […]

Elland Road, Sunday, 1.15pm, live on Sky Sports 1 LAST season one of my best 90 minutes came when Cardiff won 4-0 at Leeds. The Elland Road men were in a defensive mess at that time and leaking goals left, right and centre. I fanced the Welsh big time and remember taking them on the -1 and -2 handicap […]

White Hart Lane, Sunday, 4pm, live Sky Sports 1 SPURS started the season slowly but have moved into top gear with five wins and a draw in six matches. As a result they are pretty short at a biggest 2-5 with Betfred to beat a QPR outfit who got the better of Chelsea last weekend. Rangers are 8-1 with Betfred […]

IT’S Halloween on Monday so let’s hope our lower-league man Joe Wallace has bookies terrified as he hunts for a winning treble. We kick off this weekend in the Irn-Bru First Division and Falkirk’s home clash with Raith Rovers. Steven Pressley’s Bairns go into this encounter on a major high after knocking Dundee United out of the League Cup at […]

THE Old Firm and the rest of Scotland’s big guns don’t feature until the fourth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup – but the third-round draw has thrown up some interesting ties. As a fan of junior football I’ll be keeping a close eye on Irvine Meadow at home to First Division Livingston. In my opinion the juniors will […]

MAN CITY look like they will take some stopping this season after storming into the last eight of the Carling Cup. They were my text tip at 11-10 with Paddy Power minus one goal and made mincemeat of Wolves despite making 11 changes from the side that hammered Man United. City have now netted 11 goals in two games using […]

Easter Road, Wednesday, 7.15pm, live on BBC 2 Scotland CELTIC need a trophy this season but whether the League Cup’s the one fans crave is another matter. However, with his men trailing Rangers by 10 points in the SPL title race this a tournament boss Neil Lennon can’t let escape. Rangers are out after a 3-2 defeat at Falkirk in […]
