International weekend and one to leave right alone. I’ve been burnt more than once on internationals as it’s hard to weigh up how teams compare. That leaves the games in the lower English leagues. I’ll have a punt on 2 or 3 goals in the Scunthorpe v Colchester game but a few others have caught [...]

Two more losers in midweek and the poor run continues. A big thank you to Eastwood23 for his comment and hopefully some of the stuff I write is of use. There’s a long way still to go in the season and I’m hopeful of getting back on a winning track.
This weekend there will be no [...]

Sadly, another loser last night.
Rotherham v Aldershot (English League Two: Tuesday 7:45pm)
I explained why I think Rotherham are good value last week as their league position does not show their true points. Aldershot arrive having lost 5 of their last 6 games and have lost half their away games by more than one goal. Rotherham [...]

Not sure if other bets will follow but one for tonight.
West Ham v West Brom (Premiership: Monday 8pm)
West Ham good, West Brom bad just about sums this up. I was keen on West Ham -1 on the AH but have been burnt a little there recently. West Brom have lost 11/14 away matches this season [...]

It’s been a terrible run of late and it continued. After having a few winning years to have a year like this is hard to take and you wonder how it ended up like this. I’ll keep plugging on as a big weekend would wipe a huge deficit out of the total.
Going back to midweek [...]

The Champions League just doesn’t look fair as English teams continue to dominate. Liverpool demolished Real Madrid and that was a pretty normal Madrid performance. I think it shows up how poor the Spanish league is this season.
I’m late doing all this and haven’t even rounded up the midweek selection when we had a winner. [...]

Apologies for the briefness of all this but time has got the better of me.
Chester v Rotherham (English League One: Tuesday 7:45pm)
Chester are in big trouble as this is not the time of the season when you want to have the worst form in the league but that is what they have. The last time [...]

Not keen on having to do this! Before the weekend I had dreams of a full house but turns out it was almost a full house of losses. The frustrating thing is that nothing was too far away. MK Dons drew 1-1 and were drawing at half time so both parts of that lost. Hoffenheim [...]

Well we begin to get to the business end of the season with more and more at stake so hopefully there are teams hitting form and clear patterns emerging. Champions League games in midweek which means it’s hard to predict the lineups of the teams involved.
Sporting Gijon need to get back to winning ways and [...]

Bit late with this. Brentford provided a welcome winner as they scored early at Grimsby and then held on for the 1-0 win. Going in to Wednesday it was nice to know there was no loss going to happen but it was very disappointing Fulham lost to Hull and was a bit of a shock. [...]
