Bad Boy Barton Backed For No Reprieve…

Bad Boy Barton Backed For No Reprieve…

Joey Barton, today received a 12 match ban for his shenanigans at the end of last season and bookmakers William Hill are betting on what the outcome will be at the culmination of the inevitable appeal that will take place. Barton will undoubtedly feel aggrieved at the extent of his ban and Hills are offering 11/8 that the 12 matches are decreased. It is even money that the ban stays the same and 4/1 that it is increased.

“Barton gives the impression that he has turned over a new leaf,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It seems as though the FA, however, have taken a dim view as to his antics in the last game of the season and we reckon his ban will remain as it is regardless of appeal.”

Will Joey Barton’s Ban Be…11/8 decreased, 1/1 stay same; 4/1 increased

balotelli 4/1 To Be Suspended This Season-city Odds On For Top Two!

Balotelli 4/1 To Be Suspended This Season-City Odds On For Top Two!
Mario Balotelli’s behavior continues to astound and Hills are offering 4/1 that his club suspend him at any point this year. He is 7/4 to start twelve or fewer games for the club, 5/4 to score six or less goals and 11/4 to be shown two or more red cards. Despite Balotelli’s antics, punters are piling in on Manchester City becoming the new power house of the Premiership and they are 8/13 to finish the season in either first or second place. Arsenal, on the other hand, continue to be friendless and they are 11/8 to finish between 5th and 10th.

“Nobody is disputing Balotelli’s talent but he comes with a fair amount of baggage and it would be no great surprise if City gave up on their man. That said, his antics are not putting off punters lumping on City to finish in the top two this season!” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

The squad arrived at their training camp on Sunday, but they left after the fitness coach Robert Duverne stormed off following a heated argument with the coach Raymond Domenech.

The players were so incensed that the jumped back on the team bus, and refused to train.

Hills have also pushed France’s odds to beat South Africa out to 6-5 from 21-20.

‘We thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse in the French camp, but they just have,’ said Hills Irish spokesman Tony Kenny ‘France were already weak in the betting for their match against South Africa, however, the latest news will probably lead to them drifting even further.’

‘As an Irish football fan – the antics of the French team make our absence from the tournament even more painful.’

‘If they didn’t want to go to South Africa in the first place then they should have let us take their place in the finals.’ Said Kenny
