Will Euro Cats And Dogs Copy Their Premier League Pals?

This year’s Premier League season was unusual for the fact that a number of games were interrupted by animals encroaching onto the pitch. Bookmakers, William Hill think that the trend could continue and are offering odds on what will be the first animal to cause a halt to proceedings. A dog is the 6/4 favourite with a cat 5/2 and fox 5/1.

“It will be interesting to see if there are any issues with over-adventurous animals at the Euros as they seem to have definitely grown in confidence in the Premier League,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

What Animal Next To Invade Pitch After Anfield Cat ?

************************William Hill FOOTBALL SPECIALS******************************************

AFTER THE ANFIELD MOGGY – WHICH ANIMAL WILL NEXT STOP PLAY IN A LIVE TELEVISED PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH?

After the unexpected arrival of a feline interloper on to the pitch at Anfield provided one of the most exciting moments of the 0-0 draw between Liverpool ad Spurs on Monday night, William Hill have opened a book on which will be the next animal to bring a Premier League game to a halt – and make a Dog the 6/4 favourite. ‘Many hard tackling players have in the past been compared with animals, but it is rare for a real animal – other than club mascots- to invade the pitch. The Anfield Cat was definitely the most interesting aspect of a very mundane goalless draw so we are inviting to punters to speculate on the creature involved next time it happens’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
