BRISTOL City's win over Millwall was a joy to behold in the televised game last weekend. It ensured that we are once again back in profit for the season, even though the other two tips lost,

Premier League Tip

Chelsea v Wolverhampton - away win (15, Stan James). This is an obvious long shot, but Chelsea's star is so low at the moment it makes you wonder! And 14/1 is surely worth a few quid!

League One Tip

Hartlepool v Yeovil - away win (4.0, Corals). Hartlepool started the season well but have fallen away. Yeovil don't often lose and should be good for at least a draw.

League Two Tip

Burton v AFC Wimbledon - away win (3.0, Blue Square). Wimbledon are the away specialists in League Two. Great win against Scunny in midweek.

Blue Square Premier Tip

Kettering v Grimsby - away win (2.5, Corals). The odds have tumbled since we placed our bets, but this match has been the big steamer of the week due to all the off-field problems at Kettering.

Previous Fixed Odds Bets (1 or 2 bets, around £10 per week each of Rob's own money)
