The decision to leave Rio Ferdinand out of the England squad, despite the catalogue of injuries, has stirred consternation amongst the masses and William Hill think that this could be the final nail in the long serving defenders international coffin. He is 4/9 to never play for England again and 4/1 to announce his international retirement before the start of the 2012/13 Premier League season.

Rio is a veteran of over 80 England caps but it looks like he will fail to add to his impressive tally, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are now betting on when Ferdinand will retire from football completely and offer 10/1 that he does so this year. Ferdinand fans need not worry, however as the odds of 6/4 suggest it is much more likely he is still playing in 2015.

Players often add a couple of years to their playing careers by retiring from international football and Rios omission could be a blessing in disguise, said Crilly.

Rio Ferdinand to announce his international retirement before the start of the 2012/13 Premier League season: 4/1

Rio Ferdinand to play for England again: 4/9 no; 13/8 yes

What year will Rio Ferdinand retire from professional football: 10/1 2012; 15/8 2013; 13/8 2014; 6/4 2015 or later

6/4 For Capello To Put His Foot In It With Wenger

April 7, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, Consternation, Exact Phrase, Fabio Capello, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, Match, Mentality, Michael Ricketts, Odds, Rio Ferdinand, Spokesman, U21 European Championship, U21 European Championships, Watershed, Wayne Rooney, William Hill, Word 7, Word Post

William Hill are offering odds on what Fabio Capello will say during his post match interview after the Ghana game tonight. The 1/5 favourite is that he once again finds himself discussing the England captaincy. He is 1/2 to mention the U21 European Championships, a topic that has caused much consternation for Arsene Wenger, and Capello is 6/4 to make mention of the Arsenal boss.

With Capello struggling to decide who should start up front with Wayne Rooney, he is 100/1 to mention Michael Ricketts in his post match interview on ITV.

Arsene Wenger is not happy that Fabio Capello has lobbied for Jack Wilshere to compete in the U21 European Championships and Fabio could well use the post match interview to address the issue, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Jack Wilshere is 4/9 to play for England at the U21 European Championship.

William Hill Odds:

What Will Fabio Capello Say During His Post Match Interview On ITV1*:
1/2 U21s European Championship
6/4 Arsenal/Arsene Wenger
1/5 England Captaincy
11/4 Jose Mourinho
5/2 To Swear (a post watershed swear word)
7/1 I dont understand
4/5 Rio Ferdinand
4/1 Alcohol
5/1 English Mentality
100/1 William Hill
100/1 Michael Ricketts

*Must be exact phrase/word. Post match interview live on ITV

Will Jack Wilshere play for England in the U21 European Championships: 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
