Now the pressure is on to make it a hat-trick of winning tips so let’s stick with a successful formula and oppose our old mates Newcastle and back Everton.

Alan Pardew and his men look like a club coasting to the end of the season and could be there for the taking for a Swansea side who still need a win or two to keep them safe from relegation.

Meanwhile Everton are battling hard for that fourth spot and should be taken to secure a win at home to Man Utd.

Goodison has been a bit of a fortress this year despite Wednesday’s shocker against Palace while United could be without Rooney and Van Persie.

A Swansea and Everton double pays a very attractive 11/2 so let’s play up our winnings and have a crack at a nice payout.

I felt sorry for Wigan in the FA Cup semi after battling so hard in the match only to go out on penalties to Arsenal who will now face Hull.

But my disappointment was short-lived as I suddenly realised the top left score card of the TV screen for the final will contain the snigger-inducing truncated team names of Ars Hul.

I’ve often tried to concoct rude words from team acronyms if games get a bit dull.

Arsenal v Hull seems the best the Premier League has to offer.

But Bolton v Oxford has some potential while an anglo-Japanse match between Fukushima United and Witham Town would create a score card to make anyone smile.

Happy punting.
