Super Goal Makes Crouchy 5/2 To Go To Euros…city Out To 6/4 For League Title

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Manchester City moved to the top of the table although failed to get the victory that they would have wanted and William Hill make them 6/4 to win the Premier League. Despite a strong start to the season, Manchester City have gone off the boil and are in real danger of letting the chance of league victory slipping through their fingers. Should that happen, Mancini could well be on his way and William Hill offer 7/4 that he is no longer in charge of Manchester City come the start of next season (2/5 to still be there).

“If Mancini did not know the meaning of squeaky bum time, he will certainly be getting the message now, something that will not be lost on Sir Alex,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Peter Crouch scored a wonder goal preventing City from getting the win and he will be hopeful of getting a call up to the England squad for the Euros. William Hill make him 5/2 to get the call up (2/7 to be left at home).

Premier League Outright: 1/2 Manchester United; 6/4 Manchester City; 200/1 Arsenal; 500/1 Tottenham

Mancini at Manchester City first day of next season: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Peter Crouch to make Euro 2012 squad: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

Arsenal Put Up Fight But Fall Short…chelsea Ease Into Last Eight Of Fa Cup

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Arsenal fought bravely but fell just short as they aimed to conquer the mountain that was a four goal deficit against AC Milan. Before the game, William Hill punters piled into Arsenal – to win the match (23/20), to qualify (20/1) and to win 5-0 (125/1), all amounting to liabilities of well over £1 million.

“As Van Persie’s penalty hit the back of the net, I have to say we were torn,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would have been fantastic to have witnessed such an epic comeback, but at the same time, we would have been on the receiving end of a seven figure walloping.”

Hills think that Arsene Wenger’s side showed such guts to get back to 4-3 and Hills think that they could well ride the crest of such a good performance, offering 8/15 that they finish in the top four of the Premier League, to continue their rich tradition in the Champions League. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain ran himself to a standstill during the game and William Hill are offering 5/4 that he makes it into the England squad for the European Championships.

Progression in the Champions League would have been the only thing to keep alive Arsenal’s hopes of ending their six year drought without a trophy, but Hills think that they could make up for that, offering 2/1 that they win at least one piece of silverware next season.

For the first time, Robin van Persie has moved to odds on (8/11) that he is no longer at Arsenal on the first day of next season (he is even money to still be there).

Wenger 1st day of next season: 2/5 yes 7/4 no
Van Persie 1st day of next season: EVES yes 8/11 No
Arsenal to win a trophy in 2012/13: 2/1
(Only Prem, FA Cup, Carling Cup, Champions League/Europa League count)
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain to make the England Euro 2012 squad: 4/7 no; 5/4 yes

CHELSEA FA CUP

Chelsea eased through to the quarter finals of the FA Cup despite a tricky first half under Roberto Di Matteo and William Hill make them 11/4 to win the cup behind 5/2 joint favourites Liverpool and Tottenham. Fernando Torres endured yet another tricky match and Hills make him 11/8 to have left the club before the start of next season.

FA Cup Outright:
Liverpool 5/2
Tottenham 5/2
Chelsea 11/4
Everton 6/1
Sunderland 9/1
Stoke 16/1
Bolton 28/1
Leicester 66/1
Stevenage 150/1

EW 1/3 1-2

Chelsea FA Cup stage of elimination:
Quarter final 4/1
Semi Final 11/8
Runner Up 10/3
Winner 11/4

Di Matteo Chelsea manager for the last premier league game of the season: 1/50 yes 12/1 no

Torres a Chelsea player on the 1st day of the next premier league season: 8/15 Yes 11/8 No

Premier League top four: 1/16 Spurs; 8/15 Arsenal; 13/8 Chelsea; 5/1 Liverpool; 12/1 BAR

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 2/1 that John Terry will NOT be part of the final England squad for the Euro 2012 tournament. ‘Reports suggest that Terry is not happy about losing the captaincy and there must be a possibility that he will decide to retire from representing his country’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

SCOTT PARKER BACKED TO BE NEW ENGLAND SKIPPER

HILLS OFFER 8/1 THAT FABIO CAPELLO WILL STAND DOWN AS MANAGER BEFORE EURO 12 BEGINS – 1/20 THAT HE DOESN’T DO SO.

WILLIAM HILL – TO START FIRST EURO ’12 MATCH AS ENGLAND SKIPPER:

Steven Gerrard 8/13

6/4 For King Kenny To Abdicate Before The Start Of Next Season!

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Andy Carroll suffered another tough day at the office and William Hill are offering 7/4 that he fails to score in the next four games, although he is 6/4 to score against Manchester City in the Carling Cup. Having seemed like an almost certainty to be part of the England squad for Euro 2012, Hills are now offering 5/6 that Carroll fails to make the cut. Kenny Dalglish is also suffering at the moment as Liverpool are suffering a tough time of it and Hills make him 6/4 to no longer be boss on the first day of next season.

“There is no doubt that Liverpool are struggling at the moment and Dalglish is 25/1 to be the next Premier League manager to go and he is just 6/4 to have left the position by the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bolton Wanderers surprised Liverpool but remain embroiled in a relegation battle and William Hill make the8/11 to go down, with Wigan the 2/9 favourites and Blackburn 4/5. Hills also offer 11/4 that all three of the troubled North-West sides (Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan) are relegated together.

William Hill odds:

Kenny Dalglish to be Liverpool boss on 1st day of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Andy Carroll to make England’s Euro 2012 squad: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

When will Andy Carroll score next: 6/4 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Wolves; 6/1 Tottenham; 7/4 None of these matches

Premier League relegation: 2/9 Wigan; 8/11 Bolton; 4/5 Blackburn; 10/11 Wolves; 7/4 QPR; 13/2 Swansea; 10/1 BAR

Premier League outright: 1/2 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 10/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Chelsea; 80/1 BAR

Third Premier League manager to leave their job: 2/1 Mick McCarthy; 11/4 Steve Kean; 7/2 Owen Coyle; 11/2 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No Manager to leave; 9/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 BAR

Following reports that Fabio Capello is considering recalling Shaun Wright-Phillips to the England squad, William Hill offer 11/4 that he will play a part in the Euro qualifier against Montenegro and 1/4 that he will not. ‘At his best Wright-Phillips fully deserved to be an England player, but he had not been showing much of that form for some while before moving to QPR’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CARROLL FOR ENGLAND? THAT’S ANDY

NEWCASTLE striker Andy Carroll is already being tipped for England honours, and William Hill are offering about the Geordies’ hero to play for his country during the current season. ‘Some pundits are already hailing the hirsute hit-man as the next Alan Shearer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we think that as England’s current striking strength is hardly at an all time high, he must have every chance if he continues to play like he did against Villa.’
CARROLL HAS BEEN CUT FROM 66/1 TO 33/1 BY HILLS TO BE TOP PREM SCORER THIS SEASON. Drogba is 9/4 favourite with Rooney and Torres 15/2; Anelka 11/1; Van Persie and Bent 12/1; Tevez 14/1; Walcott 25/1.
