CO-OP CUP AUGUST 25

Posted on: 25 Aug 2010

MY Co-op Cup treble came up last night and I also tipped giantkilling acts by Raith Rovers and Brechin. It’s not quite as clear-cut tonight when the final four ties take place. SPL new boys Inverness are probably the safest bet of the night at home to Highland rivals Peterhead. Terry Butcher’s men showed their quality with a thumping 4-0 […]

CARLING CUP TIPS AUGUST 24

Posted on: 24 Aug 2010

THERE are 21 ties in the Carling Cup tonight so picking a treble should be fairly easy. Unfortunately, it’s not as straightforward as anything goes at this stage of the tournament. Who cares win should be the motto tonight with desire often come out on top of talent. Best policy is not to have a bet until knowing the line-ups […]

CO-OP CUP PREVIEW AUGUST 24

Posted on: 23 Aug 2010

WHILE the Carling Cup always produces shocks the day of the underdog is rarer in the Co-operative Cup. Four SPL sides enter the fray tonight and only one looks on dangerous ground. Aberdeen, Hearts and St Johnstone should sail through but Hamilton may crash out at First Division leaders Raith Rovers. Hamilton, now 5-2 relegation favourites with McBookie.com after opening […]

CARLING CUP FEARS

Posted on: 23 Aug 2010

Paddy Power reckon there will be shocks in the Carling Cup this midweek – and they are probably right. Loads of big guns are on shaky ground in a tournament notorious for favouring the underdog. The best advice before betting on early Carling Cup games is to check team news before risking a penny. Most EPL teams will be under-strength […]

CITY SLICKERS

Posted on: 23 Aug 2010

BOOKIES make Man City odds on to finish in the top four of the premier league after thrashing Liverpool. City are 4-6 with William Hill to be between second and fourth and 5-4 to come fifth or lower. The 3-0 victory over Liverpool suggests they could be serious title contenders and William Hill have cut them to 13-2 to win […]

BIG GUNS FIRE BLANKS

Posted on: 23 Aug 2010

THERE have been goals galore in the SPL but they could be at a premium tonight. Man City take on Liverpool in the Premier League and it could be a case of the sides cancelling each other. Both games finished in draws last season and five of the last seven have been stalemates. Three of those have been 0-0s so […]

GOAL KING SCHOLES

Posted on: 22 Aug 2010

IT was a super Sunday for football north and south of the border and a magnificent one for Mr Fixit followers. My famous Super Singles on the cards in Scotland and England both trapped and they were crackers. In the English Premier League, my standout tip for the day was Paul Scholes at 14-1 each-way to score first for Man […]

REDS CAN’T FUL ABOUT

Posted on: 21 Aug 2010

IT was a case of deja vu as Man United watched the goals rain in yesterday. On day one of the English premier league season, Chelsea battered six past West Brom and they were at it again at Wigan with another 6-0 success. Arsenal also hit Blackpool for six so Man United will feel under pressure to produce the goods […]

UNSTUCK BY TOFFEES

Posted on: 21 Aug 2010

IT wasn’t a bad day for Mr Fixit followers with the five to follow hitting the bar and homes and aways also producing a return. Today’s Super Single, Port Vale who were 7-4 at Skybet, also came up trumps. Everton being held at home to Wolves floored the five to follow but I advised perming any four from five and […]

BRITS AIM TO BE HITS

Posted on: 18 Aug 2010

SIX British teams are attempting to reach the Europa League group stage – and some have a better chance than others. English leading lights Liverpool and Man City should progress without incident while Aston Villa should join them but will be tested against Rapid Vienna. Celtic will hope to see off Utrecht while Scottish Premiership rivals Dundee United and Motherwell […]

BIG GUNS IN SHOOT-OUT

Posted on: 18 Aug 2010

THERE are some top guns battling for a Champions League place tonight – and after Spurs’ scare yesterday you can bet they’ll be given it their full focus. The likes of Sevilla, Werder Bremen, Sampdoria and Anderlecht are in action and all face tricky play-off clashes. Let’s start with Spanish cracks Sevilla who travel to Braga, impressive conquerors of Celtic […]

SWISS TIME IS UP

Posted on: 17 Aug 2010

SPURS are hot favourites to reach the Champions League group stage despite losing 3-2 to Young Boys last night. The Swiss side stunned Harry Redknapp’s men with a lightning-quick start that saw them race into a 3-0 lead. It was bad news for millions of punters who backed Spurs to win but the White Hart Lane men bounced back with […]

BELL RINGS FOR CARDIFF

Posted on: 17 Aug 2010

Craig Bellamy’s switch to Cardiff has prompted some frenzied football betting activity. Ladbrokes have slashed the odds on the Welsh side to be promoted to the English Premier League from 12-1 to 9-1 and the Wales skipper is 4-1 to top score in the division. QPR are the new Championship favourites at 5-1 after two convincing wins. Middlesbrough, without a […]
