Bookies Relief After Treble Trouncing But Still Fear Double Trouble!

Bookies were celebrating Manchester United’s defeat to Manchester City. William Hill had seen the odds of United winning the treble backed in from over 100/1 to 6/1 and were facing a seven figure payout had they done it. 11 years ago, Hills had their worst ever football payout when United bagged the treble, but can sleep easily now that they are out of this year’s FA Cup. United are 3/1 to win the double
City are now the 2/5 favourites to win the tournament.
“As the season progressed, United to win the treble was backed in from 100/1 to 6/1 under the weight of almost £100,000 worth of bets,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We will not be waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the treble, but the double is still a danger.”
Following Paul Scholes’ red card, Hills are offering 3/1 that a player is dismissed during the game between Bolton and Stoke.

…………….PREMIER LEAGUE……………….

Blackpool inched closer to relegation following defeat to rivals Wigan and are now 3/10 (from 4/7) to go down. West Ham suffered last minute heartache against Aston Villa and are the 2/5 second favourites for relegation. Wigan and Wolves also share 5/6 to get relegated. At the other end of the table, despite not playing in the league, Manchester United are still 1/6 to win the league, while Arsenal are 11/2 and Chelsea 12/1.

“Following their twelfth defeat in sixteen games, Blackpool’s position looks perilous and they are now our favourites for the drop: a position they have not held since pre-season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Stuttering Striker At Chelsea For Long Haul

…………………William Hill Premier League Specials…………………………

STUTTERING STRIKER AT CHELSEA FOR LONG HAUL

Despite Fernando Torres’ current lack of form, William Hill think that Didier Drogba will be heading for the Chelsea exit first. Of the four top strikers at Chelsea at the moment, Drogba is the favourite, followed by Anelka at 7/4, Sturridge at 3/1 and Torres at 11/2.

“Despite the faltering start to his career as a blue, it looks as though Torres is at the Bridge for the long haul and it may well be that one of Chelsea’s other prize trinkets may be heading for the exit first,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

TORRES 8/1 NOT TO SCORE ALL SEASON FOR CHELSEA

FERNANDO TORRES IS AN 8/1 CHANCE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO FAIL TO SCORE FOR CHELSEA THIS SEASON. And Hills quote him at 9/2 not to score in any of his next five games, beginning with Wigan at the weekend – when he is odds on finally to get off the mark for the Blues. ‘Torres on-going goal drought is becoming a bigger story the longer it lasts – and attracting more bets every time he draws another blank’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on who will be the next Premier League player banned for swearing during a match – and have installed Joey Barton, the self-styled midfield maestro, as their 6/1 favourite, with Wayne Rooney a 15/2 chance. ‘You’d think Premier League players would learn from Rooney’s punishment – but you have to think that they’ll soon forget and one of them will fall foul of the rule again, quite possibly Wayne himself’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Manchester City: Champions League…they’re Having A Laugh But Wigan Look Doomed

Manchester City won against Wigan in Saturday’s late kick off and solidified their chances of Champions League football next season. They are offered at 1/3 with William Hill to finish in the top four, with Arsenal at 1/150 and Chelsea 1/8. City’s nearest contenders are Tottenham who are priced at 11/8 to breach the top four. City are also 25/1 to win the league, in from 33/1. Wigan’s woes continue and they are now 1/4 to get relegated, while Wolves and Blackpool are both 11/10 for the drop. Following the continuation of their mini revival under Roy Hodgson, West Brom are 13/8 to get relegated.

Arsenal failed to capitalise on Manchester United’s defeat midweek, by being held to a draw at home by Sunderland and their price to win the Premier League has drifted from 7/4 to 9/4 while, even without playing, Manchester United are back in to 8/15 from 8/13.

“Manchester City did not play particularly well against Wigan, however, they did not look like walking away with anything less than three points,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “As long as they keep winning, the Champions League spot is theirs.”

Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and Hills have the away side as marginal 6/4 favourites ahead of Liverpool who offered at 15/8. It could also mark Andy Carroll’s debut for the Reds and Hills are offering 5/1 that he comes off the bench and scores a goal. Games between the pair are often feisty affairs and 2/1 is on offer for any player to be shown red card.

William Hill Odds:

Premier League Outright: 8/15 Manchester United; 9/4 Arsenal; 11/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 150/1 Tottenham Hotspur

Fa Cup Flop Sees Moyes Cut For Chop

Everton’s defeat against Reading has left the Toffees with nothing to play for this season and has prompted a significant gamble on David Moyes to be the next manager to leave their club. He has been cut from 7/1 to 9/2 with William Hill.

“Moyes is very restricted at Everton and with nothing left to play for, he could well walk before he is pushed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United on Tuesday and eased the pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 9/2 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Should Ancelotti go, Hills are offering 15/8 that Guus Hiddink replaces him as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Didier Deschamps is 7/1. Frank Rijkaard and Jose Mourinho are both 8/1.

Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have often flattered to deceive this season, often recording a good win before falling back into poor form, but the win against United is the kind of result that could save their season and perhaps even Ancelotti’s job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

Outright: 8/13 Manchester United; 13/8 Arsenal; 14/1 Chelsea; 40/1 Manchester City; 100/1 Tottenham

When Will Torres score for Chelsea:
4/7 Blackpool (a)

That’s Not Your Lotti: Carlo Pressure Eased With Victory

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United and eased the somewhat considerable pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 4/1 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have got it all to do, but this result will undoubtedly boost confidence at Stamford Bridge and a belated title push may well be on the cards,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Drogba On His Way ? You Can Bet On It

DROG ON HIS WAY? YOU CAN BET ON THAT………….

WITH REPORTS suggesting that Drogba is unsettled at Chelsea, William Hill are quoting him at 13/8 to have left the club by the first day of next season, while his under-pressure manager Carlo Ancelotti is a 5/6 chance to leave by then. ‘Everyone agrees Chelsea have an ageing side and the break up has to begin sooner or later, and if they win nothing this season it may well be sooner. The arrival of Torres could be advance warning of a changing of the old guard’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 1/10 that Chelsea will fail to lift a trophy this season.

Wigan Favourites For Bottom Spot After Wolves Golden Performance

Wolverhampton Wanderers have drifted from 4/5 to 2/1 for relegation with William Hill after they moved out of the relegation zone with victory against Blackpool, while their opponents, are 9/2. Wigan are the 9/4 favourites to finish bottom of the Premier League and 2/5 to get relegated after their defeat to Manchester United, who are 8/15 to win the league ahead of Arsenal at 15/8 and Chelsea at 20/1.

“Manchester United did not play particularly well today, but still managed to stick four past a hapless Wigan and things are looking bleak for them,” said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills have been inundated with punters backing Arsenal to win the Quad. Hills are offering 100/1 that Arsenal bag the Carling Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and The Champions League and could now pay out a six figure sum if Wenger’s men do the business. “Our punters seem to be of the opinion that Arsene Wenger has been saving up all of their trophyless seasons in return for one big one.”
