Premiership Bets of the Weekend
Wolves v Arsenal
Arsenal look like the best side in Europe when on their game, which at home, they have been all season. However they have been sloppy on the road this season, guilty of overplaying and taking their foot of the pedal. The recent games at AZ Alkmarr...Read More
Weekend Bets 22nd August
Arsenal v Portsmouth
Arsenal have started extremely well, and have played great football in their two games so far. Portsmouth on the other hand have sold their best players, have a drawn out saga off the field affecting the players, and have yet to score a goal. Ars...Read More
FA Cup Final and La Liga Weekend Bets
Chelsea v Everton
As much as we all want an entertaining game to finish the season off in style, I don't think we'll get one here. I expect this to play out in a similar fashion the two league games did, which were both goalless. Playing the under 2.5 market is p...Read More
Weekend Bets 23rd -24th May
Wolfsburg vWerder Bremen
The hosts enter the game knowing a win will guarantee them their first ever Budesliga title. Felix McGath's men have a 15-1-0 record at home this season and have won 13 from 15 since the new year break in Germany. They have the top 2 goalsco...Read More
Weekend Betting Selections
Valencia v Real Madrid
Ramos's side will still be licking their wounds going into this weekends fixture in the Mestailla after last weekends mauling. It now would require a 'Devon Loch' from Barcelona for Madrid to win La Liga, so its pride that's most at stake now, ...Read More
Weekend Football Bets 2nd-3rd May
Barcelona v Real Madrid
El Classico comes at the wrong time for Barcelona in the midst of the CL semi final. Madrid are closer to them than they have been all season, thanks to Barca's draw last weekend and their own incredible form. After losing his first game ...Read More
Weekend Premiership Bets
Portsmouth v West Brom
West Brom had their final chance last week at home to Stoke...and blew it. Once again the defending from the centre halves was abysmal, and it's this crippling weakness that has cost them their place in the premiership.
Pompey have p...Read More
Weekend Premiership Bets
Arsenal v Man City
Since City beat Arsenal 3-0 back in November, the Gunners are 16 games unbeaten. They have had a steady stream of key players returning, with Fabregas, Walcott and Adebayor all returning to the squad this weekend. Mark Hughes still can't find the...Read More
Midweek World Cup Qualifiers
England v Ukraine
A much sterner test than Saturday's "we have to play to pay for wembley" game. Ukraine arrive having conceded just the one goal in their 3 games and are sure to shut up shop from the off. Capello has instilled new belief in fans and players a lik...Read More
Premier League Weekend Selections
Fulham v Man United
It's very rare that United have bad results on the bounce and in facing a Fulham side they comprehensively beat in the cup recently, it does not look likely. They know another slip up so soon, will only lead to further encourage the chasing pack and ...Read More
Weekend FA Cup Games
Coventry v Chelsea
New boss syndrome has certainly worked its magic since Guus Hiddink took over in February. Three weeks in, they are 4 wins out of 4 (5 if you count the Watford game) and have conceded just the one goal. They may not be playing at their best, but they ...Read More
Carling Cup Final and Premiership
Man United v Tottenham
Most people are thinking this will be a walkover for United due to the two sides contrasting league form, but i believe it will be a lot closer than they think. Tottenham enter the game minus their new spine of Cudicini, Palacios and Keane, while...Read More
Weekend Premiership Selections
Aston Villa v Chelsea
It promises to be an intriguing encounter in the midday game at Villa Park on Saturday. Martin O'Neill will be cursing his luck that this is Hiddink's first game in charge, as new managers seem to be invincible in their first game nowadays, whe...Read More
Sunday 15th Febuary FA Cup and Old Firm
Everton v Aston Villa
Two of the form teams meet at Goodison on Sunday, with both teams having a realistic chance of actually going on and lifting the cup. Everton will be keen to make sure that the victory over Liverpool isn't the only highlight of their cup run, e...Read More
Liverpool v Chelsea & Newcastle Sunderland
Not a bad 'Super Sunday' this weekend on paper, though i believe the spectacle we would like to see in both matches may fail to materialise.
Newcastle v Sunderland
First up is the Tyne Wear Derby at St James Park, Newcastle have been woeful of late and look to have ret...Read More
Premiership 11th January Tips
Man Utd v Chelsea
It's the clash of the heavyweights at Old Trafford this afternoon with the best home side in the league (7-1-0) versus the best away side (8-2-0). Both teams have been playing well under par of late, though Chelsea have slipped up on a number of oc...Read More
Premiership Weekend Bets 5th/6th December
Everton v Villa
Everton go into the game with 3 of their 4 strikers injured, Anichebe being the only one fit, while Villa also have their talisman John Carew out injured. Villa's last 2 matches have been 0-0 in the league, while Everton have had 1-0's go either way. Th...Read More
Sunday 30th Nov betting – The Manchester Derby
Manchester City v Manchester United
After the 6 points taken from them last season it's fair to say the blue half of Manchester have rattled the cage of the avid Jospeh Stalin fan who manages the red side of Manchester. City fans are still awaiting an after match comme...Read More
Nov 22nd Premiership and Championship Bets
Manchester City V Arsenal
Goals look on the agenda at Eastlands on Saturday, as two of the most offensive teams in the league do battle. Arsenal arrive in a bit of turmoil, with no Gallas, Toure and Fabregas...but they do have RVP and Adebayor back up top. City meanwhile ...Read More
British Big Four – 15th & 16th November Soccer Bets
British Big Four United (Stoke h), Chelsea (West Brom a), Celtic (Hamilton a), Rangers (St Mirren h) All 4 games are potential goal fests for the big sides and possible clean sheets. Bookies always tend to be saved by one game when the calender throws up a bulk of easy...Read MoreEuropean Weekend Bets
Manchester City v Spurs This would have been a different fixture altogether a week or two ago, with City clear favourites, now it is much more even. City have stuttered of late but have been excellent at home banging in goals for fun (15 in 5 is the highest in the prem),...Read More1st & 2nd November Weekend Bets
Hope you were on midweek, as all tips came in at 11-2 correct score, 4-1 treble ,9-5 single and a 1-2 single. Lets hope we can carry it on..... Manchester United v Hull After their reality check in midweek, the tigers face the league champions and i expect a simil...Read MoreMidweek Premiership Bets
Bolton v Everton Buoyed by their result on Saturday, I expect Moyes's men to follow it up with a win at the Reebok. Everton's form on the road has been good this season with a 2-1-1 record, and they looked tighter at the back at the weekend, while they are boosted by the...Read MoreChampions League – Midweek Tips – 21st-23rd October
Man Utd V Celtic Celtic are without both strikers who hold up the ball in Vennegoor of Hesselink and Samaras, while 2 of there better defenders in Hinkel and Caldwell are very doubtful. United on the other hand have all their attacking options at full fitness. United ...Read MoreMidweek International Tips
Brazil v Colombia
The Seleção were back to their attacking best on Sunday night. The combination play of Kaka, Robinho, Adriano (suspended) and Elano posed too many questions for Venezuala, and i expect the same will be true for Colombia. Despite drawing 4 matches s...Read More
International Weekend Bets October 11th
Well, the column is back, and hopefully it will be here for the remainder of the season. A multitude of time and personal circumstances, led to it being absent for the opening few months, so apologies for that. Anyway .. enough of the chit chat, lets get stuck into t...Read More

The not at all fixed Super Sunday
United v Liverpool
I expect this will be a low scoring affair, with a leaning towards a home win. Liverpool have won 7 on the bounce since being dumped out of the cup by Barnsley, while United have won 8 from the last 10. The two sides have conceded the least goals in ...Read More
Saturday Bets 15th of March
United to win both halfs 11-10 @ Bet 365 United on corner handicap of -3 = 19-20 @ Bet 365 (The reds must have 4 more corners than The Rams) The big four all to win with (-1) on the handicap is 11-1 @ Bet 365 - well worth a punt considering their opponents this weekend...Read MoreWeekend Bets 8-9th March
We're again focusing on the bizarre goings on in Division 2 this weekend, as the fixtures have fell nicely again to suggest there will at least be 4 or 5 away wins at nice prices. Also, the top 5 are all on their travels which is again favourable to us. The teams we're ba...Read MoreMidweek Bets 4th-6th March
Another profitable weekend for the column with both bets selected coming in. The double of Man Utd HT -FT and Everton outright win returned £35 on a £10 stake. Our guest punter was unlucky, with only Man City letting him down in his 4 timer.
*Anyone who wants to have ...Read More

Away The Lads!
Whats going on in League two? Take a look at the table that shows the home and away records of the teams, and you'd think it was printed the wrong way round. The remarkable fact is that 15 of the 24 sides have better or equal away records compared to ...Read More
Sunday 10th Feb
United v City
Obviously all the press has been for Munich in the build up to the match, with the red tops especially seemingly wanting even just one City 'Fan' to spoil the silence so they can castigate all of the travelling blues. Away from all that there is still a ...Read More
Weekend Bets Feb 2nd-4th
Well it came in again and this time it was tipped. The big three all obliged by winning by 1, 2 or 3-0, bagging us a monster treble of 357-1 @ Bet 365.
Bet 365 went 15-2 Arsenal 3-0, 6-1 Man Utd 2-0, 5-1 Chelsea 1-0. All firms were roughly the same give or take a poi...Read More
Midweek Bets 29th-30th Jan
The Big Three
Time for another shot at the big 3 winning 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 again. Perm them in trebles.
Arsenal play Newcastle again, and though Newcastle held them in the first half on Saturday, ultimately the Gunners had too much class and movement. Adebayor...Read More
Weekend Bets 26th-27th Jan
Liverpool v Havant & Waterlooville
V
The tie that encapsulates the romance of the FA Cup more than any other in recent history, is more than likely going to be a walkover for the Scousers. Luton last round pushed Liverpool all the way until tiredness and cla...Read More
Weekend Bets Jan 19th-20th
Saturday games all look there for the taking..too good to be true?
There are clear favourites in all the Saturday 3pm Premiership games (which are the reverse of the opening day fixtures), and though rare, i think they might just come in.
Chelsea to win away at Brum

Correct Score Treble
United, Arsenal and Liverpool All to Win to Nil
So we tried this twice before Christmas and just missed out, and this weekend throws up favourable fixtures again (annoyingly United, Chelsea and Arsenal did it in the cup last week and i forgot ab...Read More
Midweek Carling Cup Semis
Chelsea v Everton
Chelsea's side continues to be weakened by the absence of their African players for this first leg semi with Drogba, Essien and Kalou all missing, add Lampard, Terry, Shevchenko and most probably Cech, and this means the spine and some limbs of the...Read More
Weekend Bets 4th-5th Jan
Big Guns to Cruise Through
Everton to beat Oldham – The Latics come to Goodison on the back of their best result of the season, a 3-1 away win at Leeds. 4 of that starting eleven are likely to be missing through injury and suspension including the expe...Read More

Away for the Weekend
Villa away at Sunderland @13-10 – Villa on fire away from home, sides are struggling to cope with the counter attacking pace of Young and Agbonlahor.
Juventus away at Lazio @ 5-4- Lazio return to Rome via their...Read More
Weekend Bets 8th Dec
Last week Liverpool’s 4th goal meant we missed out on a 350-1 correct score treble (but we go for it again this week!). We did get a nice 10-1 double on the Catalan derby and the Milan – Juve clashes being draws, as well as the 5-1 on the 1-1 draw in Catalunia.
