SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP DRAW

Posted on: 22 Sep 2011

CELTIC are massive  odds-on favourites to win the League Cup after Rangers’ shock defeat at Falkirk on Wednesday night. Neil Lennon’s men have been handed a tie at Hibs on October 25 or 26 and it’s one they should win. Celtic did just enough to see off Ross County 2-0 in Dingwall and avenge last year’s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat […]

SEPT 21: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 20 Sep 2011

I’VE cast my net far and wide in bid to find some Wednesday night netbusters. I’m starting with two Carling Cup ties that should produce goals. Cardiff and Leicester meet ahead of their weekend league encounter and both teams to score pays 8-13 with bet365. Both teams are going well in the Championship have netted in each of their last […]

SEPT 21: CARLING CUP

Posted on: 20 Sep 2011

AS predicted Man United and Arsenal beat lower-league teams with seriously weakened sided – and on Wednesday it’s the turn of Man City and Chelsea to turn up the heat in the Carling Cup. Man City boss Roberto Mancini has said he’ll make five or six changes to his line-up and that means the likes of Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero […]

SEPT 21: SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP

Posted on: 20 Sep 2011

AFTER all the excitment of the Old Firm clash, Celtic and Rangers return to action on Wednesday in the less glamorous surroundings of Ross County and Falkirk respectively. It’s difficult to see either slipping up as they start their assault on the League Cup trophy. Neil Lennon will have learned from last year’s Scottish Cup semi-final loss not to treat […]

SEPT 20: SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP

Posted on: 20 Sep 2011

THERE are five League Cup ties – two of them all-SPL clashes. Aberdeen, Dundee United and Kilmarnock are all short-priced favourites to beat East Fife, Airdrie and Queen of the South respectively and I can’t see any upsets. Craig Brown will field his strongest possible side and Aberdeen look decent value at 4-5 with Stan James minus one at home […]

SEP 20, 21: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 20 Sep 2011

I USUALLY separate my English and Scottish lines but it’s so difficult this week that I’m putting up one joint effort – and including games from Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m starting with Leeds v Man United in the Carling Cup. United have been brilliant this season but seem tohave sacrificed clean sheets for that old adage “We’ll score more than […]

SEPT 20: CARLING CUP TIPS

Posted on: 19 Sep 2011

HANDS up if MK Dons were first on your Carling Cup list of giantkillers. I backed them to beat Norwich at prices of up to 4-1 in the previous round but I’m giving them a bodyswerve at Burnley on Tuesday. It seems like they are playing a seriously weakened side as they concentrate on the league so take a home […]

SEPT 20: IPSWICH v COVENTRY

Posted on: 19 Sep 2011

Portman Road, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 IPSWICH have had some dreadful results this season but seem to have steadied the ship after bringing in some new faces at the end of the transfer window. A 7-1 loss at Peterborough hasn’t been replicated and Paul Jewell’s men have regained their confidence by beating Leeds. Home advantage should be enough […]

PAIN IN SPAIN FOR REAL

Posted on: 18 Sep 2011

BARCELONA have been cut to 8-13 with bodog to win La Liga after a weekend of mixed fortunes for them an Real Madrid. While Barca bounced back to their mercurial best with an 8-0 thumping of Osasuna on Saturday night, Real slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at Levante on Sunday. It means Valencia are the only side with a […]

SEPT 18: RANGERS v CELTIC

Posted on: 18 Sep 2011

  Ibrox, Sunday, 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports 2 OLD FIRM games are always tough to call – and tomorrow’s is more difficult than usual. Arguments can be made for both sides. Rangers have financial headaches and so many off-field distractions to deal with while Celtic are playing three days after a Europa League defeat to Atletico Madrid. Celtic look […]

SEPT 17: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 17 Sep 2011

IT’S another difficult weeekend for tipping in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – but once again our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the hunt for a winning treble. We kick off in the Second Division and Arbroath’s home clash with Airdrie United. The Gayfield men have been going strong in recent weeks and are in […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 16 Sep 2011

THERE were some strange results in midweek and I’m starting this weekend for one of the sides responsible. Huddersfield have been in good form but their 3-0 win at Sheffield United wasn’t expected. Firstly, they perform better at home and secondly the Blades had been sitting top of the table and with a 100 per cent home record. It doesn’t […]

SCOTLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 16 Sep 2011

LAST week I told you how the Scottish Second Division was averaging a best in Britain 4.1 goals a game – and there’s been no change after 21 in last week’s five matches. One of my two selections didn’t trap, however, as Airdrie beat Albion Rovers 4-0. Sod’s Law so they say. Airdrie now head for Arbroath, whose last six […]

EUROPA LEAGUE: BOTH TO SCORE

Posted on: 15 Sep 2011

ON Sunday I carried out an experiment by picking a both teams to score fourfold based on last season’s stats. It worked well with and I’ll be looking at the formula again but for Thursday’s Europa League games I’m not sure if it would work. So it’s back to looking at recent results, studying team news and form. I’m starting the […]

EUROPE LEAGUE: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 15 Sep 2011

IT was a difficult night in the Champions League with both Manchester clubs being held and Inter being stunned at home to Trabzonspor. So we move on to the Europa League and the group stage also throws up some difficult fixtures. The main problem is working out who will play full-strength sides and often it’s not the favourites. Here goes […]

SEPT 15: EUROPA LEAGUE

Posted on: 15 Sep 2011

FIVE British sides are in Europa League action on Thursday and Celtic face the toughest task at Atletico Madrid. It will be almost as tough for Birmingham against last season’s runners-up Braga while Spurs, Stoke and Fulham may not put out their strongest sides in ties against PAOK, Dynamo Kiev and FC Twente. All in all it makes it a […]

SEPT 13: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 13 Sep 2011

THANKS for all the nice comments but I know I’m under pressure to deliver after my weekend success. You loved the six out of six homes that paid up to 33-1 but if you’re expecting a repeat you’ll have to wait until the weekend because you won’t get in on Tuesday night. I don’t see enough homes I really fancy […]

SEPT 13: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 12 Sep 2011

I HAD some decent wins at the weekend but was frustrated by the both teams to score lines. Two out of four on my English and Scottish lines was disappointing especially as they were loads of goals in the games I called right. However, as reader Tony rightly pointed out I had four out of four on my European experiment […]

SEPT 12: MALAGA v GRANADA

Posted on: 12 Sep 2011

Malaga v Granada, Monday, 8pm MALAGA need to get their season up and running after spending millions in a bid to become Spain’s third force. The Qatari-owned club were tipped by many to be nearest rivals to Barcelona and Real Madrid but slipped up on day one with a 2-1 defeat at Sevilla. On Monday they tackle newly-promoted near rivals […]

SEPT 12: QPR v NEWCASTLE

Posted on: 12 Sep 2011

Monday, Loftus Road, 7.45, Sky Sports 1 AS I predicted Sunday wasn’t too super in the EPL and SPL. The three games produced just three goals but that’s what you get when all the big guns are in action on Sunday. Hibs v Aberdeen looked particularly dull and I was spot on with my prediction there would be no goals […]

DJ SPINS HIS MAGIC

Posted on: 10 Sep 2011

IT was another successful day at the US Open for tennis tipster David Jack. He accepted the first semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer was too close to call so predicted a five-set thriller at 11-4 with Skybet. That’s exactly what we got with world No.1 Djokovic fighting back from losing the first two sets to win 3-2. DJ’s […]

SEPT 11: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 10 Sep 2011

HAVING missed out on my two both teams to score lines on Saturday I’m doing a Sunday fourfold based solely on stats. When choosing my games I usually look at recent form, how many clean sheets kept and team news. Records are there to be broken so stats don’t always stand up and remember squad line-ups change every season. One […]

SEPT 11: FOOTBALL BETTING

Posted on: 10 Sep 2011

ALL the big guns were in action on Saturday so the Sunday card isn’t the most exciting. The two Premier League games are Norwich v West Brom and Fulham v Blackburn. While the first one is too close to call I can’t see past Fulham when they entertain Steve Kean’s struggling Blackburn. Fulham are always tough to beat at home […]

HOMES SWEET HOMES: 33-1 WIN

Posted on: 10 Sep 2011

AFTER mixed fortunes in August I expected to produce plenty of winners in September – and today I came up with a beauty. My ever-popular six homes – also printed in the Daily Record – all won to produce a return of around 33-1. The teams were Blackpool, Cardiff, Southampton, Huddersfield, Morton and Cowdenbeath. All were priced up at just under […]

SEPT 10: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 10 Sep 2011

HERE are my tips from my Daily Record column today. It’s good to get back to normal after the internationals double-header and I hope I’ve picked some winners. My Super Single could have been MK Dons or Bradford but in the end I plumped for Aston Villa who could take advantage of murmurs of discontent at Everton in the fist […]
