*******************************WHEN WILL UNITED WIN WITHOUT ROONEY…..WHEN WILL BE RETURN…WILL JOE COLE MAKE WORLD CUP SQUAD*****************************************

WHEN WILL UNITED WIN WITHOUT ROONEY?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Man U will next win a game in the current absence of Wayne Rooney, and they make United 50/1 to fail to win ANY of their next five games. ‘There are plenty of people who believe United have almost been a one man team this season. This spell without Rooney will test that theory’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When will Man Utd next win a match without Wayne Rooney? (90m play):

Bayern Munich H….8/13
Blackburn A…..5/2
Man City A…..8/1
Champions League semi final 1st leg…16/1
Tottenham H…..20/1
To win NONE of these games: 50/1

WHEN WILL WAYNE COME BACK?
WILLIAM HILL offer 13/8 that Wayne Rooney will first return for Man U in their derby match against Manchester City, but have cut him from 50/1 to 40/1 not to play any part in their games for the remainder of the season. ‘Wayne was notably missed against Chelsea and the temptation may be to rush him back if United begin to under-achieve without him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bayern Munich H…7/1
Blackburn A…15/8
Man City A…13/8
Champions League Semi Final… 1st Leg 9/2
Tottenham…. H9/1
Champions League Semi Final 2nd Leg…16/1
Sunderland …A25/1
Stoke H…40/1
Champions League Final – 50/1
None of the above ….40/1

WILL JOE COLE GET ON PLANE TO WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL have cut Joe Cole from 7/4 to 5/4 to make it into England’s World Cup squad – and he’s now 2/1 to start the first game. ‘Joe Cole may have timed his return to form to perfection to claw his way into the England squad’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

William Hill…..Joe Cole to make the final World Cup 2010 squad:

4/7 No
5/4 Yes

Wm Hill….Joe Cole to start England’s 1st world cup 2010 game:

4/11 No

Becks Out ? So, Who Goes Instead ?

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

WITH BECKS MISSING, WHO WILL MAKE ENGLAND SQUAD?

David Beckham’s misfortune will be good news for one or two other players who will now have an enhanced opportunity of making the final England World Cup squad of 23 – and Hills believe that Joe Cole and Adam Johnson in particular could benefit, shortening them from 6/4 to 11/8 and 4/1 to 3/1 respectively to make the squad. ‘Competition was already fierce for that place on the right and it was by no means a certainty that Beckham would have gone, even though he was a 1/6 chance to do so, but there are several players who, if they stay fit, could yet have every chance of forcing their way into the squad.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Yes No
Aaron Lennon 1/2 6/4
Theo Walcott 2/7 5/2
Joe Cole 11/8 8/15
S W Phillips 4/9 13/8
Adam Johnson 3/1 2/9

NOTHING OWEN ON MICHAEL BETS

WILLIAM HILL are refunding stakes to punters who backed Michael Owen to make England’s World Cup squad, following the news that he is out injured for the remainder of the season. ‘We are returning stakes to punters who backed Michael to make the World Cup squad, be England’s top scorer in the World Cup and to be top tournament scorer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘The last prices we quoted for Michael to make the World Cup were 2/5 no, 7/4 yes and most of the bets we took were for yes. Obviously anyone who backed him not to go will receive their winnings.’
**HILLS OFFER 1/4 THAT OWEN WILL PLAY AGAIN COMPETITIVELY NEXT SEASON AND 11/4 THAT HE WILL NOT. ‘This injury could be the final straw for Michael who may decide enough is enough and that he should concentrate on his race horses in future’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Rio Under Pressure As Strach Takes Over At Boro And Cole Returns To Fray

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

RIO UNDER PRESSURE ? BET ON IT

AFTER another high profile below par performance by England defensive lynchpin Rio Ferdinand, William Hill have cut their odds about him failing to start England’s opening World Cup game from 6/1 to 4/1, and for missing out completely on the England squad from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘R io’s recent form has been far from vintage and he is fortunate that most of his serious rivals for the England place seem to be injury prone’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Rio 1/7 to start for England in their opening World Cup game and 1/20 to be selected for the England World Cup squad.

COLE NO JOEK FOR WORLD CUP PLACE
William Hill make fit again Joe Cole 7/4 to start England’s 1st world cup match, and 2/5 no to.’Joe made an impressive return against Blackburn and will have every chance of re-establishing himself in time for the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
YOU BET PRESSURE OFF RAFA
FOLLOWING Liverpool’s victory over Man U, William Hill have lengthened their odds about Rafa Benitez being out before the end of the season from 5/4 to 9/2 and now make him 1/8 still to be in place at the end of the campaign. ‘What a difference one result can make’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘But Rafa will be back under pressure if Liverpool crash out of the Champions League and don’t follow up the United win by revitalising their title challenge.’
WILLIAM HILL- FIRST PREMIERSHIP BOSS TO GO – 25/1 THEY ALL SURVIVE!
WITH PREMIER LEAGUE clubs resolutely refusing to sack their managers, William Hill have cut their odds from 33/1 to 25/1 that none at all will depart this season. ‘It is very susprising that no manager has yet to leave his club this season, but I’m sure this is the calm before the storm, with several bosses beginning to look vulenrable as the season unfolds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
7/4 Phil Brown; Paul Hart; 7/1 Benitez; McLeish; 8 Zola; 10 Redknapp; 16 Megson; 20 Allardyce; 25 Ancelotti; Hughes; Martinez; McCathy; Moyes.
OH, GORD, WHERE WILL BORO FINISH?
WITH Gordon Strachan installed as Boro boss, William Hill are betting on where they will finish in the Championship:
Where will Middlesbrough finish in the championship?:
1st 11/2
2nd 4/1
3rd – 6th 11/10
7th -10th 9/2
11th -15th 8/1
16th – 21st 40/1
22nd – 24th 100/1
