Dire Night Of Football Brightened By Arsenal Loss…arsene 11/2 To Be Gone By Next Season

November 30, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Ac Milan, Arsene Wenger, Bookies, Bums, Champions League, Conquerors, Fb, Final 4, First Game, Gunners, Hangover, Joe Crilly, Latter Stages, Man Utd, Munich, North London, Real Madrid, Season 1, Small Fortune, Spokesman, William Hill

Arsenal lost tonight and Chelsea had to come from behind to win, in what were two very scrappy performances from British sides. Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all the British teams with William Hill.

Arsenal, on the other hand, looked as though they had not recovered from their North London hangover and Hills now make them 7/2 to progress the furthest. Their odds of winning the Champions League have been eased from 10/1 to 12/1. Arsenals defeat saved bookies paying out a fair old wedge but should their current run of poor form continue, Arsene Wenger could find himself under pressure and Hills are offering 11/2 that he has left by the first game of next season. The Gunners are now level on points with tonights conquerors and Hills are offering 10/1 that Arsenal fail to qualify for the latter stages of the competition.

It was a rather underwhelming evening of football but despite this, we are still smiling as Arsenal have saved us a small fortune. We may have numb bums, but we are still happy, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Champions League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Real Madrid; 11/4 Barcelona; 4/1 Chelsea; 9/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 20/1 Internazionale; 20/1 AC Milan; 25/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

British Team To Progress The Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 21/10 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 6/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Rangers

Arsene Wenger To Still Be At Arsenal On First Day Of Next Season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No

British Teams In Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

Arsenal To Qualify From Group H: 1/33 Yes; 10/1 No

Avram Grant is odds on to be the next manager to go at 4/5. For no manager to go before the end of the season is 33/1.

HOW FAR WILL GUNNERS GO IN EUROPE?

WITH ARSENE WENGER again talking up Arsenal’s Champions League prospects, William Hill are betting on how far they will get in this year’s tournament and believe they will struggle to get past the last 16, making that their 7/4 favourite to be the stage at which they are eliminated. ‘Arsene is very much an optimist, but we believe the Gunners will do well to get past the Last 16 stage and if they do they’ll probably exit at the Quarter Final stage’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Arsenal 2/9 to end the season with no major trophy to their credit at all yet again, and quote 500/1 that they will win all four major tournaments they are in, 22/1 that they win the Premier League – FA Cup double.

ARSENAL are 1/7 to win their Champions League Group with Hills who also offer 9/2 Shakhtar; 12 Braga; 40 Partizan B. They are 1/50 to qualify; 12/1 not to.
