WHAT WILL SEASON’S PREMIERSHIP MATCH GOALS’ AVERAGE BE?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what the final average tally for goals per game in Premiership matches will be this season, and offer 11/1 that it will be over 2.9 per game.’There have been goals galore in the Prem so far this season but we think the ultimate average per game is likely to be between 2.61 and 2.7, so we make that range our 6/4 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Under 2.5 14/1
2.50 – 2.6 4/1
2.61 – 2.7 6/4
2.71 -2.8 2/1

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premiership goals Arsenal will score this season and offer 5/6 80 or more; 5/6 79 or fewer.

The Gunners are 14/1 with Hills to score 100 or more Prem goals. ‘It has been goals galore for the Gunners at home and if they can keep them flowing 100 should be within their capabilities’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With the Arsenal-Blackburn match clocking up a new highest aggregate of the Prem season so far, 8 goals, Hills offer 2/5 that no game this season will produce 9 or more; 5/2 that 9 will be the highest aggregate of the Prem season; 9/1 that 10 will be the highest aggregate; 20/1 that 11 or more will be highest aggregate.

How Much Will F A Dare Fine Sir Alex ? World Cup Qualifier Specials

WILL FERGIE BE FEELING FINED AFTER FA REF RULING?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how much Sir Alex Ferguson will be fined for his comments about referee Alan Wiley’s (lack of) fitness, and offer 4/9 that it will be under £15,000; 9/4 from £15,000- £25,000; and 6/1 over £25,000.

HILLS also offer 5/2 that Sir Alex will receive a touchline ban for his comments about Wiley’s fitness levels, but 2/7 that he will not. ‘We don’t think a touchline ban would serve much purpose in this instance, but even a hefty a fine will hardly leave him on the bread-line – however, the level of fine may at least indicate how scared the FA is of Sir Alex ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills offer 2/1 that David Beckham will start against Ukraine, with Peter Crouch quoted at the same odds but Emile Heskey 2/7 to do so.

WILL POMPEY BE HART-BROKEN BEFORE HULL BROWNED OFF?

PHIL BROWN is 8/11 no longer to be Hull boss on the last day of the season with William Hill – but he is only second favourite to be the first Prem boss of the season to leave his club – with Hils making Pompey’s Paul Hart 10/11 to be the first to go. ‘Hart has an even worse record than Brown this season with seven straight defeats and doesn’t even have the defence that but for him his side wouldn’t even be in the Premiership’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
