Profit from Charlton’s love of spreading the goals around

Charlton are the second most prolific scorers in League One, with the secret of their success not a fondness for destroying minnows – they rarely thrash anyone and their biggest win came against MK Dons – but instead firing at a consistent rate.

They’ve found the net in both halves of five of their last six games, with their

Today’s bet is fairly simple. Back South Africa at 15/8 to get through World Cup Group A - where they are joined by disjointed France, aging Mexico and so-bad-they-were-outclassed-by-Maradona’s-Argentina Uruguay.

The main reason to fancy them is that no World Cup host has ever failed to

Who would have thought it: the new-and-improved Newcastle rediscovered their old habit of disappointing to deliver a blow to the chickendinner wallet last night. Not to worry, we’ve found another team who aren’t exactly famous for their reliability to try to get back on track.

It’s been years since there was a Carling Cup semi-final clash as eagerly anticipated as tonight’s Manchester derby at Eastlands and we’re betting on Manchester City’s utter desperation to take home the trophy, and the likelihood of them fielding a stronger team, being enough to ensure that they

It’s been happening for five months now, but we still can’t quite get our heads around Newcastle being a functional, hard-working team with a solid defence. They rarely even manage to shoot themselves in the foot nowadays.

Tonight, we’ve finally plucked up the courage to bet on the Toon Army at 21/20 on Betfair to trample over a stumbling West Brom side who they even

Despite going 14 matches unbeaten, Birmingham can be backed at 7/4 on Betfair to win away to hapless Pompey, who have lost seven of their ten home league games this season.

Alex McLeish’s men have picked up 11 points from their last five league away days, with impressive draws at Liverpool and Everton and triumphs at

The Blackburn miracle will scale new heights tonight

It’s hard not to begrudgingly admire Blackburn under Sam Allardyce. Despite routinely looking every inch the worst team in the Premier League, they somehow sit 13th in the table.

Even more impressively, Ewood Park has been transformed into something of a fortress. There’s no rousing atmosphere to credit for the success though because fans have nothing to get excited about.

Instead, supporters are too busy nursing sore necks and wishing they could turn the clock back 15 years – though they’ve not yet reached the point of
