Chelsea 16/1 To Stay Unbeaten In Prem All Season

Bookies bemoan Old Trafford ref’s time keeping:

CHELSEA 16/1 TO STAY UNBEATEN ALL PREM SEASON
Bookmakers William Hill were as aggrieved as Mark Hughes as Manchester United’s late Michael Owen winner left them substantially worse off: ‘Had the ref blown thirty seconds or so earlier, at which point everyone other than United fans were convinced the game was over, we’d have been a substantial seven figure sum better off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We can only suppose that time passes more slowly at Old Trafford than anywhere else in the universe!. All those punters who backed the Big Four all to win at the weekend at odds of just under 3/1 will also be quite happy with the ref’s timekeeping.’
Chelsea have been cut from 6/5 to 11/10 favourites to win the Premiership title by William Hill who make Manchester United 9/4 favourites and also offer 13/2 Liverpool; 8/1 Arsenal; 10/1 Man City; 50/1 Spurs; 125/1 Villa; 250/1 Everton. City are 11/10 with Hills to finish in the top four, 4/6 not to.
AND HILLS NOW MAKE CHELSEA 16/1 TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED ALL SEASON IN THE PREMIERSHIP.

SO, WHEN IS FIRST PREM BOSS GOING TO GET CHOP?

WITH NO Premiership manager yet leaving his club this season, William Hill are betting on when the first one will go, and reckon it will probably happen in October, the month they have made 2/1 favourite. ‘Every manager knows that a few poor results can result in pressure from fans, and there are a few sides who haven’t made the best of starts to the season but as yet noone has paid the ultimate price – surely that situation can’t last for much longer in those impatient times’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Sep-09 9/2

BIG FOUR TO BATTER BOOKIES AGAIN?
WILLIAM HILL are offering 39/10 about Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United all winning this weekend. ‘We’re tempting fate by taking on the Big 4 – but as all bar Chelsea have proved vulnerable already this campaign we’re hopeful that they won’t all win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL IPSWICH FANS STAY KEANE ON ROY?
WITH IPSWICH struggling without a win in the Championship relegation zone, William Hill are offering odds of 5/6 that Roy Keane will cease to be their manager before the end of the season, and 5/6 that he is still in place on the final day of the campaign. ‘Keane was greeted like a conquering hero when he arrived at the club but there are reports of the side being booed off in recent matches and without a win to show for their efforts so far Roy needs a rapid turnaround in form if he is to avoid an ignominious early exit. As our odds suggest we believe that it could go either way for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have cut Ipswich to 8/1 to be relegated from 40/1 at the start of the season. ‘Everyone is assuming that they are too good and have too much money to go down. But the fate of Leeds, Norwich and Southampton suggests that that’s not certain to be the case’ said Sharpe.
