FOR a while this week it looked as though the lunatics had taken over the asylum in Mr Fixits’ absence but he’ll be back in time for next weekend (if he can get himself out of that Bangkok jail) you’ll be glad to hear. Betway have enhanced this week’s treble line of Chelsea, Rotherham & Hearts to 8-1.Given my appalling […]

West Ham v Blackpool, Wembley, 3pm, live Sky IT’S not the biggest game of the day but it’s certainly the richest. They say there is as much as £90million at stake for the winners of the Championship play-off final so you can see how important it is. So there are bound to be nerves at Wembley and it could be case […]

Thursday, Plainmoor, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 I WONDER how many neutrals support Cheltenham just because the name is so synonomous with racing. I’m big fan of Cheltenham (the Festival) but have never really got into Cheltenham (the football team). However, they are on the verge of a Wembley appearance after beating Torquay 2-0 in the first leg of the […]

LOOKS like I’m the play-off man this week as Mr Fixit concentrates on teeing off. I know it’s the end of the season but he’s taking more holidays than the Queen – and he’s paying me less than her corgis get. But I’ve got a cunning plan. I’m going to learn to dance then dress like a dog (Chunky’s showed […]

Tuesday, Galpharm Stadium, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 ALL Rhodes could lead to Wembley tonight as Huddersfield continue their fight for promotion. Jordan Rhodes set the Terriers on their way to a 2-0 victory against MK Dons in last week’s first-leg tie and the Scotland star is again the man to watch at the Galpharm. It was the prolific Rhodes’ […]

MR FIXIT’S away spending his winnings so he’s asked me to have a look at this League One play-off. It’s a tough call and I reckon he’s decided to put me on the spot because he can’t pick a winner. Either that or he’s watching dodgy videos. I popped into his office last week and caught him on YouTube getting […]

MR FIXIT’S asked me to have look at tonight’s games – and I can see why. He’s away getting his eyebrows plucked or something just as important and left me to look a card where nothing stands out. I’d rather have a Brazilian than try to pick some winners but needs must. The big game, I suppose, is the La Liga […]

Ewood Park, Tuesday, 8pm ( live on Sky Sports 1) MR F asked me to put up an SFL midweek piece but having looked at the four First Division games they’re as tough to call as climbing Everest wearing flip-flops. Dundee will probably beat Queen of the South but the visitors, who are 9-2 at Coral, are fighting for their […]

IT’S Good Friday but it can’t be that good because I’m working. I noticed Mr Fixit commenting he was concentrating on the weekend tips but when he called me I’m sure I heard someone shouting “Fore” in the background. But maybe that’s a punter telling him how many lines he’s had up this season! Anyway that’s the rub of the […]

FOLLOWING the news Ally McCoist is set to turn out again for Rangers this season, bookies have priced up some specials on the Ibrox boss. Coisty netted in Rangers Legends’ 1-0 defeat of AC Milan Glorie on Friday night and reckons he can fill the gap left by Nikica Jelavic. The 49-year-old is more used to playing the fool on […]
