    A couple of suggestions for consideration for tonight

    Ireland Women v England Women – England +2.5 Goals

    Pilgrims v Hoops BTTS

    5/2 + Double Chance

    England / Sweden game looked far short of last year’s World Cup match standard but Lioness’s did have a purple patch. Would be surprised if they they don’t put two or three away in any purple patch tonight. Feisty Irish performance v the French but fatigue may tell tonight on a deadish pitch. 2 first half goals might be a good alternative to the 3 English ones for a slightly better return.

    Home Park match features two teams that have a lot to play for so it may well produce goals

    Shortlist Double

    Millwall v Leicester BTTS

    Saints Win v ‘Try Blues

    9/4 + Double Chance

    Millwall more terriers than lions should snatch a goal on their home patch. Momentum is with the Saints who I reckon are most likely to join Leicester and Leeds in the PL next year

    GL!

    Very trappy in the Championship tonight so worthy of only a fun treble

    Tigers Win v Boro
    Ipswich v Watford Over 2.5 Goals
    Swansea v Stoke. Under 3.5 Goals

    7/2 + Treble Chance

    Tigers must be properly motivated to win tonight to remain focused on a play-off place. Potters don’t look like the kind of incisive crew most likely to expose Swans rather stately defence so the hosts should have more opportunity to express themselves in attack and score their usual goal!

    Championship form clearly gone haywire!

    Let’s settle then for a humble attempt at a 15/8 X Sport Double bet for this busy afternoon

    Burnley v Brighton BTTS

    Ireland v Wales Woomens Six Nations
    2nd Half Higher Scoring Half

    Hitting the bar too much recently and with the other sporting distractions yesterday missed out on a fancied Saints-Lions Double in the Championship 😥

    I’d expect the Hammers slick enterprise to to outshine the Cottagers solid industry shortly. How the Toffees have managed to even thread water at the bottom of the PL in recent months is a mystery with their incoherent and disjointed performances. A basic athletic finesse seems to go a long way but would be surprised if Chelsea superior physicality does not expose their shortcomings tomorrow night, 3-1, 4-1 possibly is my guess 😥

    Hammers Win v Cottagers
    Chelsea Win v Toffees

    3/1+ Double Chance

    Double down so looked at Corner options for my “Coin Toss” so a little reappraisal!

    Chelsea have Citeh in the Cup Semi on Saturday and Toffees have several fellow bottom-feeder opposition in the weeks ahead to decide their fate so should settle for a 1 goal defeat tonight to stay well clear of Forest on GD. Therefore it may not be an action packed 90 minutes tonight!

    Interest bet
    Under 10.5 Corners 10/11

    Positive line up from Everton tonight. Hope Garner and McNeil can link up well and Onana is up for the grind!

    Drat! Came to the same conclusion as RP Over 3.5 for Saints v PNE

    Saints – 2 probably best value if you can get a good exchange price and have patience

    PNE seem to be a team pretty much in Canary mould, seem to have picked up a lot of away points against some sloppy defending and may not be quite as good as league position suggests. They have four tricky matches left and could conceivably end up yet just inside the bottom half of table at end of season. Losing at home to Stoke in March not a good omen for tonight.

    They do attack wide a lot and will surely try to draw corners to maximise height advantages. So another little interest bet to try to get last nights few bob back

    PNE 4 Corners 1/1

    (Overestimated the common sense of the managers last night! Fair play to Carragher for drawing attention to Onana – not sticky enough like a few others for the Toffees!)

    Fox & Baggies tie too close to call. Foxes too short.

    Prefer BTTS @ Under 3.5 @ 2/1 + as an interest bet to 10.5 + Corners 10/11 as a purely interest bet.

    Great Championship game. Good to see the Circus back for the Summer season!

    Matinee X Sport 2/1 + Treble Chance

    Saints Win at Cardiff

    Ireland Women -48 H/c Win v England 6 Nations 2.15pm

    Citeh Qualify v Chelsea Penalty-Takers

    England changes might indicate they may be more interested in prepping for French game than maximising points. Ireland need to game manage the 2nd half!

    88-10 just isn’t cricket. It’s not even sport, professional sport anyway 😥

    Let’s have another crack

    Rovers 2 Home goals v Owls

    Utd 2 Goals v ‘Try Blues in Cup

    France – 19 H/c Win V Wales Womens 6 Nationsw DVD w

    3/1 +Treble Chance

    ( 2/1 Football Double )

    You would think French backs will want to practice all their moves for England game. How bad were Wales then in that Ireland game!

    Not sure the bookies are factoring over 5 mins of 1st half injury team. Rovers looking more likely for the 3rd before HT

    Just a bit puzzled at what looks like a bit of a gamble on Leeds 5/6 into 3/4 for match at Boro tonight – must be some team news! With their contrasting recent form I’d have thought Boro and Under 3.5 (11/2) would be a decent value bet. Best give this one a miss. The way they were playing a couple a months ago I thought they looked more likely than Leicester to mix it and survive in the PL next year but recent match results would give one no incentive to back them.

    100/30 Double Chance

    Arsenal Win v Chelsea

    Leicester -1 H/c Win v Saints

    Chelsea must be knackered after recent exertions but since it’s a derby I’ll play it a little safer than usual.

    Foxes passed their stiff WBA exams with flying colours. Should be able to exploit Saints attacking game and should be interested in an insurance goal tonight of all nights.

    Not sure Frank Worthington would have have approved of Leicester ever playing in the Italian mode! Need a break until Saturday after watching that first hour of torture!

    Looking forward to seeing Wayne tomorrow night on Sky cheering on the Blues :yes:

    Fancy Red Roses tomorrow to take care of the French Ladies in the Ladies 6 Nations as from I’ve seen if the matches they look the more complete 15 and the French look a bit Sevensish

    Unknowns

    How England will cope with partisan French crowd

    France may have held something significant in reserve for this match

    England -9 H/c Win v France Six Nations @ 5/6 3pt – nothing mad though!

    Hoops v Peacocks tonight

    Loftus Rd is like London’s football version of the Globe Theatre from what I see of it on TV so it’s an intensive and intimidating place when Rangers are on song.

    Post is tipping Hoops/Draw Double Result @ 13/10

    I’ll try and better that

    BTTS & Over 2.5 @ 2/1. 1pt

    Guessing 2-1 or 3-1 either way

    GL!

    Other Womens 6 Nations matches

    Italy – 5 H/c Win in Wales

    Scotland -7 H/c Win in Ireland

    11/4 + Double Chance – 1/2 pt only

    IRL-Scot May hinge on performance of pivotal Ireland Out-half position – bit concerned her rugby brain doesn’t quite match her kicking style!

    Two Value 3/1 Footie Double Chances 1pt to consider

    Saints Win v Potters

    Toffees Win v Bees

    Saints need to bounce back after Fox hiding – Toffees must carry forward derby intensity this evening to suffocate the Bees!

    Alternatively,

    Canaries Win v Swans

    Baggies Win at the Owls

    GL!

    Better to leave the Championship alone until Play-off Final with all the change of form in top six and meaninglessness of final rounds for some teams

    Just a “Coin-toss” for tonight/tomorrow

    5/4 + Double Chance

    PNE v Foxes Under 1.5 in 1st Half
    ‘Try Blues v Ipswich BTTS

    Foxes priority in recent months seems to have been to protect assets for sale or for next year. Can’t see them breaking too much of a sweat tonight

    Coventry and Ipswich should be able to hurt each other

    GL!
