ENGLISH PREMIER LATEST

Posted on: 30 Apr 2011

FOLLOWING the latest controversy over a whether a ball crossed the line William Hill are offering 5-2 that goal-line technology will be in place in Premier League matches before the first day of the 2012-13 season (2-7 that it will not). Huerelho Gomes was the latest victim when he fumbled a Frank Lampard shot but recovered to seemingly drag back […]

WEEKEND EARLY PICK

Posted on: 28 Apr 2011

DUNFERMLINE put themselves in a great to win the title by beating nearest rivals Raith Rovers last week. Victory at Morton will clinch a return to the SPL and I can’t see the Pars slipping up. They came from behind to dump Rovers last week with a double from the inspirational Martin Hardie. Morton will put up stern resistance but […]

APRIL 28: EUROPA LEAGUE

Posted on: 28 Apr 2011

IT’S a great night for Portuguese football with three sides involved in the Europa League semi-finals. Sportingbet offer 1-4 on the tournament winner coming from Portugal and it’s difficult to disagree. Cup favourites Porto take on Spaniards Villarreal with Benfica facing Braga in their other last-four clash. Porto have enjoyed an incredible season, being crowned Portuguese champs without losing a […]

APRIL 27: FOOTBALL BETTING

Posted on: 26 Apr 2011

I GOT three out of four right on Tuesday night – but unfortunately didn’t call Man United right. I tipped the Reds to qualify for the Final but never for a minute thought they’d get it so easy away to Schalke. At least my recommendation for first goal after 28 minutes at evens came up. Elsewhere I predicted a decent […]

APRIL 26: SFL BETTING

Posted on: 25 Apr 2011

THERE are two games in the SFL on Tuesday and both could be away wins. First I’ll be on Ross County to beat Queen of the South at neutral Stirling after being robbed last week. I tipped County to win and they were 2-0 ahead in Dumfries when the lights went out – for the second time in a match […]

APRIL 26: STOKE v WOLVES BETTING

Posted on: 25 Apr 2011

STOKE say the league’s their priority despite having an FA Cup Final to look forward to. Tony Pulis’ men will feel they need a couple of more points to ensure survival and they should get them against Wolves. Six points seperate the sides and Wolves are fighting for their lives with this clash followed by a trip to Birmingham at […]

THAT WAS EASTER FUNDAY

Posted on: 24 Apr 2011

I MADE three recommendations on Easter Sunday – and they all came up. The 100 per cent record on the matches at Ibrox, Easter Road and the Reebok made up for a disappointing Saturday – although SFL expert Joe Wallace did get his treble up. My best bet on Sunday was Bolton’s Daniel Sturridge to score first at 13-2. I […]

APRIL 24: RANGERS v CELTIC

Posted on: 24 Apr 2011

AFTER all the nonsense that’s taken place of the park the Old Firm will be hoping to do Scottish football proud on the pitch on Sunday. It’s the seventh meeting between Rangers and Celtic this season and a possible title decider. I’m predicting an action-packed thriller that will make the nation smile again – and that means incidents galore, penalties, […]

APRIL 24: BOLTON v ARSENAL

Posted on: 23 Apr 2011

WINS for Man United and Chelsea on Saturday means Arsenal must beat Bolton to keep alive slim title hopes. But after five draws in their last six, and a tendency to throw away leads, the Gunners may have to settle for another point at the Reebok. Bolton will be hurting after their 5-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat against Stoke last […]

APRIL 23: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 22 Apr 2011

IT’S crunch time in the Scottish Football Leagues with teams battling it out to be winners and grinners. And once again our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the search for a winning treble. We kick off this week in the Irn-Bru First Division and the mouthwatering clash between first-placed Dunfermline and second-placed Raith Rovers. The […]

WEEKEND EARLY PICK

Posted on: 22 Apr 2011

HANDS up all those who were gutted when the lights went out at Queen of the South in midweek. Ross County were one of my standout picks to collect three points in Dumfries and led 2-0 when darkness descended over Palmerston not for the first time this season. So even though we were on the way to a win the […]

GOOD FRIDAY: ENGLISH TREBLE

Posted on: 22 Apr 2011

THERE are 15 matches in England on Friday and it would be great to get the Easter holidays off to a winning start. My three tips on the Ipswich v Norwich game came up on Thursday – Norwich to win, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score – so hopefully you’ve got bookies’ cash to play with. Norwich’s brilliant […]

APRIL 21: IPSWICH v NORWICH

Posted on: 20 Apr 2011

PORTMAN ROAD should be rocking on Thursday for the East Anglian derby between Ipswich and automatic promotion contenders Norwich. The ground is expected to be packed to the rafters with most of the 29,000 fans hoping Ipswich can rescue their play-off hopes – they lie six points behind sixth-placed Leeds. However, the majority could be going home disappointed as Paul […]

COPA DEL REY BETTING

Posted on: 19 Apr 2011

EURO expert Paul Watson signed off his excellent overview on the Spanish Cup Final by suggesting he’ll backing Barcelona to beat Real Madrid. And I’ve to agree with him although there was little to separate the sides when they met in the Bernabeu on Saturday. Barca are a best 1-1 with Chandler and bodog in Valencia while Real are as […]

APRIL 20: KILLIE v CELTIC

Posted on: 19 Apr 2011

RANGERS’ win against eight-man Dundee United on Tuesday means they will go into Sunday’s Old Firm clash top of the SPL. The gap is four points but Celtic should reduce that to one by beating Kilmarnock on Wednesday. It won’t be easy with both halves of the Old Firm having to settle for a series of narrow wins in recent […]

APRIL 17: SCOTTISH CUP AND SPL

Posted on: 16 Apr 2011

IT’S 17-1 Celtic in the four games between them and Aberdeen this season and I can’t see past Neil Lennon’s side in the Scottish Cup semi-final. The results included a 9-0 in the SPL and 4-1 in the Co-op Cup semi-final. Trophy favourites Celtic have been struggling to see out sides in the SPL during a heated title battle but […]

APRIL 17: ARSENAL v LIVERPOOL

Posted on: 16 Apr 2011

ARSENAL need to beat Liverpool at the Emirates to keep the Premier League title race alive. The Gunners can take advantage of Man United’s FA Cup semi-final appointment at Wembley to close the gap at the top of the table to four points. If Arsenal then go on and win their game in hand at Spurs a week on Tuesday […]

BLACK DAY FOR BLACKPOOL

Posted on: 16 Apr 2011

BLACKPOOL are the shortest priced of all Premier League teams to be relegated after losing at home to Wigan. Ian Holloway’s strugglers are just 4-11 with Ladbrokes for an immediate return to the Championship following a defeat at home to Wigan. The Latics have been eased to 4-6 and look safer than 1-2 West Ham who went down to a […]

FA CUP: BOLTON v STOKE

Posted on: 16 Apr 2011

BOLTON and Stoke contest the second FA Cup semi-final on Sunday and the odds slightly favour Owen Coyle’s men. It looks a close one to call between two mid-table EPL rivals but Bolton might just have the edge. I’d be more confident if on-loan Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge was eligible but Coyle could have pulled a masterstroke by taking his […]

APRIL 16: SFL TIPS

Posted on: 16 Apr 2011

THERE’S only a few weeks to go in the Scottish Football Leagues – and a few more chances to beat the bookies. So let’s see if we can end the season on a high and our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the hunt for a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division […]

WORLD SNOOKER PREVIEW

Posted on: 15 Apr 2011

JOHN HIGGINS is the well-backed 11-2 favourite to win the World Snooker Championship and it’s difficult to argue with the bookies. Paddy Power have been holding firm at 11-2 but Ladbrokes have been forced to cut the Scot to 5-1. Higgins warmed up for a crack at a fourth Crucible crown by winning the Scottish Championship in Clydebank. He launches […]

WEEKEND EARLY PICK

Posted on: 15 Apr 2011

IT’S difficult to ignore Reading who are so tempting at 1-1 with firms such as Ladbrokes and totesport. The Royals have stormed up the Championship table into fifth place after seven successive wins. Saturday sees a decent test in the shape of a Leicester side unbeaten in three, although only one was a win, and with some decent quality in […]

APRIL 15: NORWICH v NOTTM FOREST

Posted on: 15 Apr 2011

NORWICH have suffered a blip with an away defeat at Swansea followed by a draw against Watford. As a result Cardiff have replaced Paul Lambert’s men in the top two going into the run-in but the Canaries should be back in second with a Friday night win against Nottm Forest. Norwich have been strong at Carrow Road all season, winning […]

CHELSEA BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 14 Apr 2011

CARLO ANCELOTTI is 4-11 with bet365 not to be in charge of Chelsea on the first day of next season after the club’s Champions League exit. bet365 are also betting on how many trophies the Blues will land during that campaign after seemingly blowing their last chance. Bookies spokesman Steve Freeth said: “Prior to the game some reports suggested it […]
