A period of consolidation took place last week.
Not only was our strike rate suffering from over elaboration but also personal lifestyle changes impacted upon the production of our blogspot.
These changes will impact how many are produced a week and also the depth into which we will be explaining our picks. It is imperative that followers stay tuned to ILOVESTEVEPALMER @FACEBOOK and @RUDGEY76 on TWITTER for up to the minute picks., links are available at the top of this page.
ALREADY ADVISED
6 NATIONS OUTRIGHT FRANCE
France remain the only unbeaten side in this years contest after 3 rounds of matches which puts them and us in an extremely strong position, our 7/4 now stands at 1/14 W.HILL, 1/25 BETFRED, 1/33 TOTESPORT and trading out looks absolutely unnecessary.
6 NATIONS NO GRAND SLAM WINNER
This is looking more unlikely with our ante post picks looking strong and everyone else beating each other.
WINTER OLYMPICS 2010 USA MEDAL TABLE WINNERS
Although Canada have won 5 more gold medals and are shown at the top of some tables, the USA are 11 overall medals clear and cannot be caught, we did not recommend topping the gold medal table but the overall so you can go collect on our 4/1 pick.
Midweek, on our Facebook page we stuck up Inter Milan to beat Chelsea (WON) and a F.A Cup replay double ASTON VILLA + W.B.A (West Brom went to E.T,) but at 13/8 for Inter we finished more than half a point up.
Fortunately, I posted no picks yesterday, because what I had in mind went up in smoke, Scotland losing in Rome and England sloppily losing at Twickenham and soccer picks probably wouldn't have gone much better, but let's put our necks back on the chopping block today.
CARLING CUP FINAL MANCHESTER UNITED v Aston Villa (3:00p.m k.o BBC1)
5/6 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 20/23 TOTESPORT
This pick will either carry a lot more confidence or a lot less confidence after hearing Sir Alex Fergusons team selection.
If Rooney, Valencia, Berbatov all start and a strong midfield containing Carrick, Scholes and Fletcher dominate, I can only see Man U winning the lions share of the possesion and eventually the game, quite cosily. Villa have good players, but there record against top four clubs is not great and although their League Cup record stands up to scrutiny, I believe a runners up medal is all that will be available to Young, Agbonlahor and co.
SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE CELTIC v Rangers (12:30p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
11/5 W.HILL 11/5 BETFRED 7/2 TOTESPORT
SCOTTISH football, SCOTTISH football I hear you cry.
Despite my lack of interest or respect for the level of scottish soccer, these games are well worth a watch just for the atmosphere generated by those loonies north of the border. Throw into the mix Robbie Keane's first appearance in a Glasgow derby, you just know he is gonna get the winner (6/4 anytime W.HILL, 7/4 TOTESPORT worth a small interest)
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE EVERTON v Tottenham Hotspur (1:00p.m k.o ESPN)
14/5 W.HILL 11/4 BETFRED 11/4 TOTESPORT
Everton have won 3 of their last four visits to White Hart Lane and their current form after a very slow start to the Premier League campaign has easily been on a par with Tottenhams and Villa's and Man City's and the price just looks a little dismissive.
RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CLUB CHALLENGE LEEDS RHINOS v Melbourne Storm (6:30p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
23/20 W.HILL 5/4 BETFRED 13/10 TOTESPORT
Leeds have won this game twice in recent years, beating the Storm in one of those and will be looking to reclaim the trophy after last years windswept loss to Manly Sea Eagles. The NRL sides that travel half the world to play these games are always in close season and Leeds should be well into their stride after 4 weekends of Super League action. The biggest worry is the fact that so far in this seasons domestic competition, the Rhino's top the table for penalties conceded. but if they keep those to a minimum we'll have a good run for our money.

Not a great week so far.....
Struggled to get our noses in front this week, so we may chuck in a few shorties to shore up the leaking accounts.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER ARSENAL V SUNDERLAND OVER 2.5 GOALS (3:00p.m k.o)
8/15 BETFRED 1/2 W.HILL 1/2 TOTESPORT
Arsenal will be disappointed with their midweek pantomime in Portugal. I'll just chip in that I think that referee is a joke! After every Champions League fixture this season, win or lose, Arsenal's next Premier League fixture has always featured 3 or more goals, win or lose. Unbackable at 1/5, but Sunderland may score one with Arsenal getting two or three.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER CHELSEA -1 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (3:00p.m k.o)
20/23 TOTESPORT 10/11 W.HILL 4/5 BETFRED
Mick McCarthy will probably make 11 changes to his precious, pretty footballing but ultimately doomed to relegation side this afternoon, just to prove a point.
They have faced Chelsea and Man Utd once so far this season, losing 4-0 and 3-0.
Fans may take heart from performances against Spurs and Liverpool, but these are a different breed and This could be a couple each for Anelka and Drogba and maybe one for Lampard.
SOCCER SATURDAY TREBLE CARDIFF CITY + CHARLTON ATHLETIC + ROCHDALE
4.38 BETFRED 4.57 W.HILL 4.27 TOTESPORT (returns inc. one unit stake)
Minimum stakes only for the following pick, maybe even half of your minimum.
ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER PRESTON N.E v Newcastle (3:00p.m k.o)
5/1 TOTESPORT 13/2 W.HILL 6/1 BETFRED
Fair enough if you think stuff that, but I don't think Newcastle will finish the season unbeaten at home and in a 3 runner race, 6/1 is too big.
IT'S A FUNNY OLD GAME!!
Bit of oval ball action in the high octane Super League, two games played each and both sides are unbeaten.
ENGAGE SUPER LEAGUE WIGAN WARRIORS v Warrington Wolves (5:30p.m k.o)
5/4 TOTESPORT 7/5 W.HILL 11/8 BETFRED
When punting in Super League, the big ties such as this one, can go either way and a stat I like to use to split teams is penalties conceded and although there isn't much between these teams on that front in this fledgling stage of the season, Warrington have given away more ground than the Warriors and the team that concedes the most penalties this evening, I bet, will lose the game.
Finally a small word on our ante post investments,
ALREADY ADVISED
6 NATIONS OUTRIGHT FRANCE
6 NATIONS NO GRAND SLAM WINNER
WINTER OLYMPICS 2010 USA TO TOP MEDAL TABLE.
France are now strong, odds on favourites to win the tournament outright, so our investment could be guaranteed with one more win, they'll shorten up further and we can lock in the profit with a bit of laying.
Having seen the French twice, they are putting our other 6 Nations bet under pressure, because I cannot see them slipping up against England unless they have already sewn up the championship before England travel to Park de Prince.
U.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.A.
The yanks currently sit 10 clear at the top of the medals table and are 1/14 on BETFAIR to finish top, BETFRED are only offering gold medal betting, so thats looking tidy.

3/4's of a point down.....
Tuesday was a funny one.
Quite a few selections went west but with two winning picks we finished less than one unit down, so not a complete disaster.
There are some absolute corkers lined up tonight in the Europa League, so rather than wait for EuroWhiz, we'll have a dip at a couple ourselves.
A couple of European giants clash at the Amsterdam Arena, where Juventus are Ajax' visitors.
Ajax are unbeaten in their last 6 league games and are unbeaten at home all season in the domestic championship.
Juve have won one of their last 6 league games and their Champions League exploits, although a higher level, was not convincing.
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE AJAX v Juventus (6:00p.m k.o)
6/4 W.HILL 6/4 BETFRED 8/5 TOTESPORT
Another early kickoff in the Netherlands sees Werder Bremen travel from land of the Bundesliga to the Grolsch Veste, home of FC Twente.
Twente flying high in the Eredivisie, one of the top three to remain unbeaten at home domestically.
Werder Bremen always seem full of goals and are unbeaten in this competition so far.
I'm of the impression that FC Twente aren't quite up to this level of European competition.
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE WERDER BREMEN v FC Twente (6:00p.m k.o)
5/4 W.HILL 11/8 BETFRED 11/8 TOTESPORT
One more single,
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE SHAKTAR DONETSK v Fulham (8:05p.m k.o ITV4)
13/8 W.HILL 7/4 BETFRED 13/8 TOTESPORT
Last season's winners of this trophy beat Tottenham Hotspur at the same stage last year, after their mid season break, winning the 2 legs by an aggregate score of 3-1, drawing the game in England 1-1, but with Fulhams small squad and lengthy injury list, I believe the Ukranians will be too strong for the Cottagers.
ALREADY ADVISED
6 NATIONS OUTRIGHT FRANCE
6 NATIONS NO GRAND SLAM WINNER
WINTER OLYMPICS 2010 USA MEDA TABLE WINNERS
If you were on at the earliest opportunity with France for the 6 nations, some 7/4 was available, after two victories with three to play, they're now 4/9 with W.HILL and 2/5 BETFRED.
With the U.S four medals clear at the top of the Vancouver medals table, our 4/1 now looks massive, current odds are 4/7 with BETFRED.
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up!!

Not the greatest....
This blogspot is looking forward to England going to Paris and getting thoroughly smashed up, because a performance even resembling the one in Rome on Sunday will result in a humiliating scoreline.
Tottenham aren't scoring as many goals as they were earlier in the season and Aston Villa are the bane of my life.
Lots of soccer action tonight, I'm gonna try not to sPread myself too thin.

Lazy Sunday......
The treble was disappointing and even though Wales let us down by four points, it was a stunning game to watch.
Coventry City won what was described as a very poor game, we don't care how, just that they did.
Southampton v Pompey went over the 2.5 goals, leaving it late to get started but cosily by the 90.
Les Bleus gave the Irish a proper going over at the Parc de Prince, winning our match pick and shortening up the odds on our outright pick, almost time to look at laying off.
So from our five played picks, to a one unit stake, we would just about be one unit up.
With our England pick running tomorrow, we will add a couple of F.A Cup picks to fill up the afternoon.
ENGLISH F.A CUP BOLTON WANDERERS V TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR OVER 2.5 GOALS (1:30p.m k.o ITV1)
10/11 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 5/6 TOTESPORT
The last two runnings of this fixture have finished 2-2 and 3-2.
This should be a good, entertaining match.
ENGLISH F.A CUP ASTON VILLA v Crystal Palace (3:45p.m k.o ITV1)
5/6 W.HILL 4/5 BETFRED 5/6 TOTESPORT
Shocked at the value on offer with Villa. They will beat Palace comfortably despite not beating them since 1980, this is a different Villa side to one's of previous years and Martin o'Neill will not let this side lose to a side with lesser quality.
That's it for now, updates tomorrow on Fast Freddie's picks and Euro Whizz.

SIX NATIONS OUTRIGHT FRANCE
SIX NATIONS NO GRAND SLAM WINNER
WINTER OLYMPICS USA TO TOP MEDAL TABLE
Let's try and better our 3 out of 4 winning picks on last weekends 6 Nations matches.
SIX NATIONS MATCHES ENGLAND -14 v Italy (2:30p.m k.o Sun 14th Feb BBC1) -14 W.HILL 10/11 -15 TOTESPORT 10/11
Early in the week I was worried that the bookies would overreact to England's beating of Wales and had nightmare visions of 20 or more points being given to the home side.
Pleasantly surprised with 2 converted tries, I think England will improve on last weeks effort and that is bad news for a poor national side like Italy.
SIX NATIONS MATCHES FRANCE v Ireland (4:30p.m k.o BBC1)
1/2 W.HILL 1/2 TOTESPORT
Some quarters are calling this the Championship decider in only the second week of competition, which is folly when you consider injuries, suspensions and fortune will all have a part to play. Having backed France outright we would like to see them win this cosily enough and the Irish have a pretty poor record traveling across the Channel.
SIX NATIONS MATCHES WALES -10 v Scotland (2:00p.m k.o BBC1)
10/11 W.HILL 4/5 TOTESPORT
Wales will easily pass this 10 point margin, Scotland last week, despite a lot of huffing and puffing never really troubled the French tryline, and even if they had done, the feeling was France could have found two more gears at least. The Welsh will have been distraught at the way they lost to England and will be determined to put it right in front of an expectant home crowd.
SOCCER SATURDAY TREBLE BARNSLEY + BRENTFORD + MILLWALL (3:00p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
4.38 W.HILL 4.37 TOTESPORT 4.52 BETFRED
ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER COVENTRY CITY v Queens Park Rangers (3:00p.m k.o)
At odds against Coventry at home are unbeaten in their last 6 league games and only losing in extra time to fellow Championship team Portsmouth. Q.P.R are simply in freefall due to bad management from the owners down to poor old Mick Harford.
A little dip into todays F.A Cup action,
ENGLISH F.A CUP SOUTHAMPTON V PORTSMOUTH OVER 2.5 GOALS (12:30p.m k.o ITV1)
6/5 W.HILL 11/10 TOTESPORT 11/10 BETFRED
I was severely tempted to punt Southampton as they have won the last five meetings with Pompey at St. Mary's or whatever it was before and they are 9 games unbeaten at home in all competitions. Add to this the dire situation Pompey find themselves in and the tie seems ripe for a giant killing, but it's a derby so caution advised.
4 of the last 6 meetings here featured over 2.5 goals.

50% but still in front....
Ipswich Town won.
Man City beat Bolton half time and full time.
Sunderland conceded an equaliser, after leading since the 12th minute, with the last kick in the 96th minute.
Leicester let down the treble by not being able to score in a brothel.
Despite these misfortunes, we still ended up nearly a point in front.
6 Premier League games tonight, as a bit of fun, I will pick a winner from every game!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE LIVERPOOL v Arsenal (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
3/1 W.HILL 11/4 BETFRED 11/4 TOTESPORT
Arsenal seem to be starting to struggle for goals after getting by without Van Persie for the last few months and Liverpool have found Dirk Kuyt's best position after 4 years...as a striker!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE MANCHESTER UNITED v Aston Villa (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
5/6 W.HILL 10/11 BETFRED 10/11 TOTESPORT
United have won 5 of their last 6 visits to Villa Park, Villa have scored once in their last 4 Premier League home matches and Rooney can not stop scoring, even if he tied one leg behind his back!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE BLACKBURN ROVERS v Hull City (8:00p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
5/6 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 10/11 TOTESPORT
Hull have shown signs of getting back to their early season form of 2008/2009 with a draw against Chelsea and a win against Man City, but I would hazard a guess at the two teams mentioned underperforming rather than mini miracles from "Permatanman"
Blackburn haven't had the best fixture list of late either with the distraction of a league cup semi and few home games, plus a few injuries.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE CHELSEA v Everton (8:00p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
7/10 W.HILL 8/11 BETFRED 7/10 TOTESPORT
Chelsea know the importance of this game and I see it them winning with the centre of midfield being stronger than Everton's, who are missing the Afro for tonights game.
Chelsea have won 3 of their last 4 visits to Goodison, while it is 10 years since the Toffee's last home win of Chelsea.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE WEST HAM UTD v Birmingham City (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
6/5 W.HILL 5/4 BETFRED 13/10 TOTESPORT
West Ham are too good to go down and Birmingham aren't as good as their league position suggests they are.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v Wolverhampton (7:45p.m ko SKY SPORTS NEWS)
4/5 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 5/6 TOTESPORT
Reality is starting to sink in at Wolves and they may just start to accept their fate after tonights drubbing by Spurs. Spurs have won 5 of their last 6 visits to Molineux and aside from Kevin Doyle, the rest of the squad is struggling to find it's feet at this level.
Everyone would agree that odds on away from home is the quickest way to the poorhouse so maybe sticking 3 in a treble rather than singles will cost us a little less.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE MANCHESTER UNITED + CHELSEA + TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
5.61 W.HILL 6.05 BETFRED 5.95 TOTESPORT (returns inc. one unit stake)
That treble plus two decent singles on Liverpool and West Ham should keep us entertained tonight.
Looking forward to winning more on the 6 Nations this weekend and more F.A Cup action on the way too.
C'MON!!!
Man City beat Bolton half time and full time.
Sunderland conceded an equaliser, after leading since the 12th minute, with the last kick in the 96th minute.
Leicester let down the treble by not being able to score in a brothel.
Despite these misfortunes, we still ended up nearly a point in front.
6 Premier League games tonight, as a bit of fun, I will pick a winner from every game!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE LIVERPOOL v Arsenal (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
3/1 W.HILL 11/4 BETFRED 11/4 TOTESPORT
Arsenal seem to be starting to struggle for goals after getting by without Van Persie for the last few months and Liverpool have found Dirk Kuyt's best position after 4 years...as a striker!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE MANCHESTER UNITED v Aston Villa (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
5/6 W.HILL 10/11 BETFRED 10/11 TOTESPORT
United have won 5 of their last 6 visits to Villa Park, Villa have scored once in their last 4 Premier League home matches and Rooney can not stop scoring, even if he tied one leg behind his back!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE BLACKBURN ROVERS v Hull City (8:00p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)
5/6 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 10/11 TOTESPORT
Hull have shown signs of getting back to their early season form of 2008/2009 with a draw against Chelsea and a win against Man City, but I would hazard a guess at the two teams mentioned underperforming rather than mini miracles from "Permatanman"
Blackburn haven't had the best fixture list of late either with the distraction of a league cup semi and few home games, plus a few injuries.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE CHELSEA v Everton (8:00p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS)

What more do you want?...........
FRANCE BEAT SCOTLAND BY 9.
CHELSEA BEAT ARSENAL.
DIDIER DROGBA SCORED TWICE.
BIRMINGHAM CITY BEAT WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS WON THE SUPERBOWL.
DREW BREES WAS NAMED SUPERBOWL MVP.
All of these were advised for Sunday and now you're gonna believe us, now you're gonna believe us......
Full set of English football fixtures over the next two nights so there should be plenty to get stuck into.
Televised action first:
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE MANCHESTER CITY HT/FT DOUBLE RESULT v Bolton Wanderers (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
21/20 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 5/6 TOTESPORT
City have won their last 6 home games and generally tend to go in half time in front and injuries are hitting Bolton hard at the moment.
Also from tonights Premier League card:
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SUNDERLAND v Portsmouth (7:45p.m k.o Sky Sports News) 11/5 W.HILL 2/1 BETFRED 11/5 TOTESPORT
If Pompey get deducted 9 points Wednesday lunchtime for going into administration, there's a good chance they may go down with the lowest points total ever!
Confidence on the pitch must be at an all time low and if Sunderland can get in front early, it may just knock any remaining fight out of Avram Grant's doomed side.
Couple of teams from the Championship and a League Two side for a neat little treble:
MIDWEEK COUPON TREBLE LEICESTER CITY + WEST BROMWICH ALBION + ROTHERHAM UNITED (7:45p.m k.o SKY SPORTS NEWS) 4.90 W.HILL 5.06 BETFRED 4.96 TOTESPORT (returns inc. one unit stake)
Cannot resist a small interest in a side away from home at odds against, on the improve, playing a side I think have self destructed in the middle part of the season, thanks mainly to a meddling owner.
ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL IPSWICH TOWN v Queens Park Rangers 13/8 W.HILL 7/4 BETFRED 7/4 TOTESPORT
CHELSEA BEAT ARSENAL.

A few setbacks.....
But we broke about one unit stake up.
With 3 6 Nations bets, a Soccer Saturday treble and 2 other footy picks to keep an eye on, I did well to stay sober until midway through the England Wales dustup.
So a 6/5, a 19/10 and an 8/13 covered the losses incurred by Carlisle's late equaliser at Huddersfield and Ireland's lack of motivation towards the last 10 minutes against an already beaten Italy.
After seeing highlights of West Ham v Burnley, two bad defensive decisions and a host of missed chances mean we will be recouping losses on the Hammers sooner rather than later.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE BIRMINGHAM CITY v Wolves (1:30p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
5/6 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 5/6 TOTESPORT
Wolves beat Blues 2-0 in last years F.A Cup but lost to them in the Championship game between them at St Andrews last season. Add to that 3 draws between them and this could be tight. Unfortunately for Wolves the improvement shown by Birmingham in the middle part of their Premier league campaign should see them past a side suffering from nice but not quite good enough.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE CHELSEA v Arsenal (4:00p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
5/6 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 3/4 TOTESPORT
Arsenal are great footballers, pleasing to watch and free scoring when in full flow.
They just are not going to get the freedom of Stamford Bridge and Chelsea have their African contingent back from Angola, giving Drogba chance to bully an Arsenal defence that is still not the most convincing. He has scored 5 times in his last 5 appearances against Arsenal.

Back to gut instincts......
The only thing that worked for us last night was the hunch I had about Danny Wellbeck prospering at this level and he duly obliged. I won't be mentioning him again, but I believe he is to be followed till the seasons end.
As for the rest of last nights picks, on review seem to have suffered from over analysis, so rapid fire tactics are put to the test on three of tonights soccer fixtures.

All things must pass......
So the weekends form soon passed!
Sunderland could have won last night had Howard Webb noticed Robert Huth decide to audition for a 6 Nations role this weekend and carry the ball past Darren Bent in the area.
As for the derby oop north, I've briefly read the match report and it doesn't sound like there was ever any danger of it being a goal fest, sounded pretty grim to be honest.
Tonight's televised F.A Cup replay between Crystal Palace and Wolves has, suprisingly to me, been priced up by bookies with the home side as favourites.
A cup run would probably suit Palace more than Wolverhampton, with their current financial needs and Wolves are more focused on staying up. It doesn't always play out that way though does it?
ENGLISH F.A CUP REPLAY WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS v Crystal Palace (8:00p.m k.o ITV4)
7/4 W.HILL 7/4 BETFRED 17/10 TOTESPORT
A Premier League fixture tonight between Chelsea, fighting for the title and Hull City, fighting for Premiership survival.
The last 6 meetings between these sides, at Hull, average 3.5 goals per game.

ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER PRESTON N.E v Barnsley (7:45p.m k.o)10/11 W.HILL 10/11 BETFRED 10/11 TOTESPORT
Barnsley, after an upturn in form after a dreadful start to their season, have just seen their form begin to plateau, losing their last 3 away from home.
Preston, after a change of manager, have shown little improvement, but from what I had seen previously only needed a goalscorer. Having secured the talents of Danny Wellbeck from Manchester United till the end of the season, he has already netted within two games of arriving and I can see him performing well in this division for the remainder of the campaign.
So as a show of confidence in my own ratings of players,
