The A-League, the glorious A-League, my weekend Premier League tips went south but when my punting went to the Southern Hemisphere, boy, was I rewarded. My time honoured strategy of backing Australian teams away in New Zealand paid dividends as…
I finally felt a bit of life in midweek. PSG did the business, Atletico followed them in, and for the first time this season I actually walked away from a Champions League night with a bit of profit in my…
Another shoddy weekend, and like a few Premier League managers right now, I feel like I’m fighting for my job as I try to turn the tide on a terrible start to the season. The winners have dried up, the…
