APART from death and taxes the one thing certain in life is seeing to Madrid clubs in the Champions League semis. Only difference this season is they’re meeting for a place in the Final rather than playing for the trophy. Real have beaten neighbours Atlético in two of the last three finals as well as the 2015-15 quarters and are big […]

IT’S all about the battle to beat the drop today with none of the top seven in action. Sunderland prop up the table and there’s no doubt they’re the Premier League’s worst side. Davie Moyes’s men were rubbish again in midweek as 1-0 a defeat at Middlesbrough pushed them closer to the Championship. The trap door will fully open today […]

GOALS are usually on the menu when Dingwall hosts the Highland derby – and it should be no different tonight. Ross County host Inverness and could be ready to throw away the welcome to the Premiership map. ICT start the post-split games five points adrift at the foot and defeat tonight will leave them with little chance of catching Dundee […]

THE European Tour moves to the Topwin Golf and Country Club north of Beijing for the 23rd edition of the Volvo China Open. In the previous 22 events the China Open has had 22 different winners from 14 countries. The 7261-yard par 72 was designed in 2009 by former Masters champion Ian Woosnam and will prove a tough test with […]

SPURS’ double bid ended on Saturday and tonight they put their title hopes on the line. Chelsea got the better of their London rivals in the FA Cup and there is every chance they’ll do so in the Premier League after last night’s defeat of Southampton extended their lead at the top to seven. Credit for Spurs for keeping the race […]

SEMI-FINALS are usually cagey but Saturday’s Hibs v Aberdeen tie was anything but – and later we saw even more action in the Chelsea-Spurs FA Cup semi-final. Early goals always help of course and Aberdeen were in front after 12 seconds. It’s probably my quickest first-scorer winner as I tipped Adam Rooney at 4-1. I also recommended Aberdeen to win […]

WITH four of the top six in FA Cup semi-final action the focus today is on the battle to beat the drop from the Premier League. Managers always talk about the magic 40-point mark but clubs with 37 or 38 points should be safe this season. Sunderland are almost away and Middlesbrough need a minor miracle to survive so that […]

CELTIC are potentially two wins away from an historic domestic treble but standing in their way are Glasgow rivals, Rangers whom they face in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup at Hampden Park on Sunday. The Hoops remain undefeated in Scotland since the start of the season, a remarkable run of 40 games whilst the Gers have been bouyed by […]

THE 7435 yards par 72 TPC San Antonio (AT&T Oaks) once again hosts the Valero Texas Open and will provide a tough test for competitors. Opened in 2010, Masters champion Sergio Garcia was a consultant to chief designer Greg Norman. The Oaks Course meanders through the hills with narrow fairways and bunkers as deep as 12 feet. With native vegetation […]

ALEXANDER LEVY won the China Open when it was first staged at Shenzen in 2014 and the Frenchman enjoys his trips to the country. With top-30 finishes on his last seven trips to China including a fifth in his debut in this competition two years ago he loves the hospitality and courses. As a former course winner this 7200-yard, tree-lined track holds no […]

IT’S a hectic spell for teams in England’s lower leagues and at this stage of the season it’s more about stamina than quality. In the Championship Brighton are within touching distance of the title and a price of around 1-2 at home to relegation-threatened Wigan is fine for accumulators. Newcastle are now four points off the pace but just about […]

SPURS are doing their best to put a bit of pressure on Chelsea and it will be interesting to see how the leaders handle a trip to Old Trafford. They face a tough test on paper but Man United’s focus is on the Europa League which gives Jose Mourinho the best chance of qualifying for the Champions League. He could […]

FIVE wins out of six have moved Crystal Palace to the brink of safety – and they can take a huge leap up the table today. Palace’s impressive 3-0 defeat of Arsenal on Tuesday lifted them six points clear of the drop zone and just three points behind Watford in tenth. Sam Allardyce is working his magic again and today’s […]

LEICESTER’S Champions League dream is likely to be shattered on Wednesday as they face the might of Atletico Madrid. The Foxes shocked Sevilla in this previous round but could struggle against a side that’s reached two finals in three years. Diego Simone’s side can’t lift La Liga this season so will be fully focused on this tie – as is […]

THEY say it all happens over the last nine holes at Augusta and boy were they right. Superb iron shots, missed putts, lead going one way then the other and above all two friends egging on each other made the final round of the Masters brilliant viewing and a great advert for the game. Although he beat my 28-1 selection […]

THE Royal Dar-es-Salaam course hosts the Trophee Hassan II and is regarded as one of the toughest tracks on the African continent. It is a massive 7487-yard par 72 with its rolling terrain winding through forests of oak, cork and eucalyptus trees. The signature hole is the par-three 9th which has a lily pond with flamingos. Putting looks to be […]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE football resumes tonight with two cracking ties. Punters will struggle to choose between Borussia Dortmund v Monaco and Juventus v Barcelona as the quarter-finals kick off. I’ll start by watching the game in Germany simply because it could be goal-laden between two attacking sides. Coaches Thomas Tuchel and Leonardo Jardim reckon attack’s the best form of defence – Man […]

THERE should be a thrilling finish to the Masters tonight with four shots separating the top seven. England’s Justin Rose shares the lead on six under with Spain’s Sergio Garcia going into the final round at Augusta. Rose would be a winner for Ace Venturer while Garcia would be a popular choice to land his first Major after so many failed […]

ABERDEEN are aiming for 11 home wins in a row tomorrow and bookies were dangling a carrot in front of punters. Not for the first time this season they’d priced up Rangers wrongly and punters weighed in. A few days ago flagged up the fact Aberdeen looked massive at 13-10 with McBookie and Betfred – now they are a best evens […]

IT’S now a two-horse race for the Premier League title – although Spurs will have to go some to catch Chelsea. They trail their London rivals by seven points but it could have been 10 if it hadn’t been for a superb late comeback at Swansea on Wednesday. Spurs can close the gap to four by beating Watford in the […]

DUSTIN JOHNSON was red-hot favourite for the Masters but his hopes of a first Green Jacket may have been scuppered by a fall. The big-hitting world No.1 has all you need to win at Augusta having improved his short game – and crucially his temperament. But he doesn’t have the balance required to nip around his rented home in Georgia […]

THERE’S not much that can be added to what has already been said about Augusta. All I can say is I get goosebumps around this time of year thinking about the upcoming Masters. If like me you must think you know every blade of grass, where to land the ball off the tee and every burrow of those beautifully manicured […]

IT’S not long until the best players in the world tee-off at Augusta in the 2017 US Masters and I’ve great offer for punters who don’t already have an account at Ladbrokes or one my new partners BetOnBrazil. I’m giving you the chance to get a £10 free bet on the winner of this year’s Green Jacket at either of […]

CELTIC have been made to wait until Sunday to clinch the title after Aberdeen’s win against Dundee in Friday – but doing so on April will still be impressive. Brendan Rodgers’ men remain unbeaten domestically this season and on course for the Treble and I expect them to wrap up trophy No.2 by beating Hearts at Tynecastle. Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com […]

CELTIC will be crowned Scottish champions for the sixth successive time on Sunday – or should that be seven. Brendan Rodgers’s side have swept all before them this season and are on course for not only the Treble but also to go threw the domestic season unbeaten. Their feats have impressed bookies and Scots firm McBookie have decided to pay out […]
