Red Mist On The Tyne Hampers Arsenal’s Chance To Steal A March

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Newcastle and Arsenal shared the spoils on the opening day of the season and Arsenal have been pushed out to 12/1 to win the Premier League with William Hill. In a fiery affair, there was one red card for Arsenal and could have been another with Joey Barton involved in both incidents. Hills offer 6/5 that Arsenal receive between one and three red cards this season and 7/4 that they get four or five. Joey Barton on the other hand is odds on, at 4/6 to receive no red cards this season and is 5/6 to still be at Newcastle at the end of the summer transfer window and 5/6 that he is not. An uninspiring draw will not have improved Arsenal fan’s dim view on Arsene Wenger’s transfer policy and he is 5/2 to have left his job by the final day of this season.

“Arsene’s men lost their heads once again at St James’ Park and came away with a draw,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “While not a disastrous result, the craft of Fabregas and Nasri was sorely missed and Wenger may have to splash the cash quite soon.”

Elsewhere, Liverpool’s odds of 10/1 were eased to 12/1 following a home draw against Sunderland.

Joey Barton Red Cards In The Premier League: 4/6 none; 5/2 one; 3/1 two or more

Arsenal red cards in the Premier League: 6/5 one – three; 7/4 four – five; 9/4 six or more

Joey Barton to still be at Newcastle come the end of the transfer window: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Arsene Wenger to still be Arsenal boss come the last day of the season: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Premier League Outright: 11/8 Manchester United; 5/2 Chelsea; 4/1 Manchester City; 12/1 Arsenal; 12/1 Liverpool; 50/1 BAR

Premier League Transfer Window: Sneijder In, Nasri Out
William Hill took a £1000 bet late last night on Wesley Sneijder joining Manchester United and Hills have slashed his odds from 6/4 to 5/6 to join Sir Alex Ferguson’s side. He is now 5/6 to not join Manchester United.

“It is no secret that Sir Alex wants to find a replacement for Paul Scholes and has identified Sneijder as the man to fill the gap,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Our punters seem to be of the same opinion.”

Arsene Wenger has secured the services of Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain and William Hill have cut the odds of Samir Nasri leaving the club from 6/4 to 1/2. Wenger has also claimed that his summer spending is not over and Hills offer 5/2 that he brings in two more players and 3/1 that he brings in three more.

How many more signings will Arsene Wenger bring in before the end of the summer transfer window: 4/1 none; 5/2 one; 5/2 two; 3/1 three; 6/1 four; 8/1 five or more

Samir Nasri to leave Arsenal before the end of the transfer window: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Wesley Sneijder to join Manchester United by the end of the summer transfer window: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Exhaulted Kompany: Vincent Hot Favourite For City Armband

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

With the future of Carlos Tevez still to be decided, Hills are now betting on who will replace the striker as Captain of Manchester City on the first day of the upcoming season. Hills make Vincent Kompany the 1/4 red-hot favourite, while Yaya Toure is 7/2 second favourite. Garethe Barry is 9/2, Joe Hart 8/1, Lescott 10/1, David Silva 20/1 and Emmanuel Adebayor 100/1.

“Kompany has shown his leadership qualities, deputising in the absence of Tevez and Toure last season and it looks as though he will be the go-to man when City walk out at the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsene Wenger has given Barcelona a two week window to make their move to sign Cesc Fabregas and William Hill have slightly cut the odds of him staying at the Emirates, at least during this transfer window, from 7/4 to 6/4.

William Hill Odds:

Manchester City Captain On The First Day Of The Season*: 1/4 Vincent Kompany; 7/2 Yaya Toure; 9/2 Gareth Barry; 8/1 Joe Hart; 10/1 Joleon Lescott; 20/1 David Silva; 100/1 Emmanuel Adebayor
* Not club captain but wearing the armband on the opening game of the 2011/12 season

Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal at the end of the Summer Transfer Window: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

Wenger’s Fab Tip

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Arsene Wenger has come out and said that he is optimistic his two courted players, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas will be staying at the Emirates next season. William Hill agree with Mr. Wenger with regards to Nasri, offering 8/11 that he is still at the club come the first game of next season, although Fabregas is 4/9 to have left for pastures new by then. Barcelona are the 1/4 favourites to capture Fab’s signature when he does leave, while Manchester City are 8/11 favourites to bag Samir Nasri.

“Wenger has, rather defiantly, come out and claimed that his two most prized assets are staying put and while we agree that Nasri looks likely to be staying for at least another season, the lure of Barcelona may be too much for Fabregas and Arsenal to resist for another season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scott Parker has been backed from 20/1 to 6/1 to join Chelsea with Hills who make Villa 13/8 favourites to be his next club.”Parker returning to Chelsea would be a big story, but we are not convinced it is anything like a done deal.”

Ahead of the expected mass exodus from Arsenal, William Hill make Arsene Wenger 4/1 to have also have left the Gooners by the final game of next season. He is 1/7 still to be in his position by the same time. Arsenal are 4/7 to qualify for the Champions League next season and 5/4 to fail to do so. Arsenal have now gone six barren years without a trophy and Hills offer 2/9 that that run extends next season. They are 750/1 to win the quadruple and 7/1 to win the Premier League. He is 33/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave their club.

“Arsene Wenger has, up until recently, been considered as an ‘unsackable’ manager, but with a number of players poised to leave the club, a poor run of form could see his 15 year relationship crumble,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal Odds:

Wenger to be at Arsenal on the last day of the 2011/12 season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Arsenal to qualify for 2012/13 Champions League: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no
