HELLO, good morning and welcome to my blog. Apologies for not blogging for quite some time, but I’ve been zealously scouring my contact list for inside information, like a furious domestic assistant slaving over accumulated oven grime. Once my hangover had subsided, that is.

My various people in the know, or ‘sherpas’ as I like to call them, have supplied me with a barrel-load of intriguing information that should prove decisive over the next few days when it comes to picking winners. While it would be churlish of me to mention any names – such as ‘Happy’ Larry Troose, ‘Pandemonium’ Lionel Rogers and Tommy ‘The Pigeon’ Forsythe - my associates have come up with enough in-depth information to give Deep Blue an inferiority complex.

I was quite relieved when all my people in the know arrived at my castle in Southern Spain with more than a few tasty morsels of knowledge, so I could re-focus on the task in hand – sobering up and winning some more cash for the weekend’s frivolities. I’d been on a three-day session in the posh part of Marbella with an old university friend of mine, Nobby, and at ten to ten last night my stomach simply gave way. I was quick to blame a bad paella for my projectile vomit the likes of which hasn’t been seen since The Exorcist, but I have to be honest with you, my followers, that I’d had a skinful and a tactical puke was the only option. As you can imagine, I soon recovered and was quickly downing sangria and absinthe, dentist chair-style, for a daft laugh.

I digress. Based on the information supplied by my crack team of sherpas around the world, the tip I have for this evening is as follows.

BACK: Stalybridge to beat Corby Town in the Blue Square North.

While there isn’t a great deal to choose between the two sides per se, the home outfit (the only ‘Celtic’ I’ve ever seen who play their home games in blue) are bang in form while Corby are performing about as well as a trouser press that’s just been dismantled by Alan Partridge.

Pile in, my loyal followers. Stalybridge are better than evens at present, which is seriously good value.

Good luck & happy punting!
