United still favourites to go through, but:
BOOKIES PANIC OVER ROONEY INJURY

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened England’s World Cup odds from 5/1 to 6/1 in anticipation of Wayne Rooney’s in jury affecting his chances of playing in the finals. ‘If there is the sl,ightest chance of Rooney being absent it definitely affects England’s chances in the minds of punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills have cut Chelsea’s odds of winning at Old Trafford this weekend from 21/10 to 7/4, lengthening United from 7/5 to 13/8, with the draw offered at 21/10. ‘Almost as soon as Rooney went off punters poured in to back Chelsea to win at the weekend’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Despite losing to Bayern, Man U are 8/11 favourites to go through with Hills who offer Bayern at Evens.

WILLIAM HILL: TO WIN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE; 7/4 Barcelona; 7/2 Inter; Man U; 9 Arsenal; 10 Bayern M; Lyon; 25 Bordeaux; 33 CSKA.

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
