You Bet Champions League Trophy Could Be Welcomed To Manchester

The two Manchester sides play their first matches in this year’s Champions League and William Hill make United 7/1 to win the tournament and City 10/1. Hills also offer 25/1 that the final is contested between the two sides. With the two sides flying domestically, Hills are offering 16/1 that between them, the two halves of Manchester win the FA Cup, the Premier League, the Carling Cup and the Champions League between them.

“The two Manchester sides are playing extremely well domestically and if they carry that form into the Champions League, there is no reason why one of them cannot win the Champions League this year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Both sides are scoring for fun this season, Wayne Rooney particularly, and Hills offer 40/1 that he scores a hat-trick against Benfica and with the wealth of Manchester City’s attacking options, Hills go 4/1 about any of their players bagging a treble. Rooney is 14/1, along with team-mate Javier Hernandez, to be the competition’s top scorer, while Aguero (16/1), Tevez (25/1, Dzeko (25/1), Balotelli (50/1) and Silva (66/1) are all capable attacking options for Mancini’s side.

Ahead of the expected mass exodus from Arsenal, William Hill make Arsene Wenger 4/1 to have also have left the Gooners by the final game of next season. He is 1/7 still to be in his position by the same time. Arsenal are 4/7 to qualify for the Champions League next season and 5/4 to fail to do so. Arsenal have now gone six barren years without a trophy and Hills offer 2/9 that that run extends next season. They are 750/1 to win the quadruple and 7/1 to win the Premier League. He is 33/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave their club.

“Arsene Wenger has, up until recently, been considered as an ‘unsackable’ manager, but with a number of players poised to leave the club, a poor run of form could see his 15 year relationship crumble,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal Odds:

Wenger to be at Arsenal on the last day of the 2011/12 season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Arsenal to qualify for 2012/13 Champions League: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

Lukaku And Falcao In But Cole On His Way? Latest Chelsea Moves

William Hill make Romelu Lukaku 4/6 to be at Stamford Bridge next season while Falcao has been cut from 7/4 to 5/4 to join Chelsea from Porto. But for all of the talk of Andre Villas-Boas bringing in players, Ashley Cole has started to make noises of moving to Spain with Real Madrid or Barcelona his preferred choices. Hills offer 4/1 that he moves to Real Madrid during the Summer transfer window and 6/1 that he joins Barcelona in the same time period. He is 7/2 to move to any Spanish side (1/6 not to).

Despite the new manager and the dearth of players set to come in, Hills offer 8/11 that Chelsea win no trophies this season. They are 5/4 to win one trophy and 13/2 to win two. They are 400/1 to win all four competitions they will be competing in. Chelsea are 9/4 to win the Premier League, 11/2 to win the FA Cup, 13/2 to win the League Cup and 8/1 to win the Champions League.

“Villas-Boas has been brought in to win trophies for theside and while he wants to bring new faces in, he will have to be careful of letting too many players go as well,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wenger-to-go odds cut:
GUNNERS 7/1 TO BLOW IT AGAIN

Arsenal threw away yet another winning position against Tottenham on Wednesday and Hills are offering 7/1 that Arsenal lead against Bolton this weekend, yet still fail to win.
ARSENE WENGER HAS BEEN CUT FROM 6/1 TO 10/3 NO LONGER TO BE ARSENAL MANAGER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, AND LENGTHENED FROM 1/12 TO 1/5 STILL TO BE THERE. ‘Noone can doubt Wenger’s mangerail achievements but even the most patient of fans and boards eventually demand some silver on the table’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills now make Chelsea favourites to finish above the Gunners this season. ‘Arsenal have thrown away several priceless opportunities to catch Man U, and now run the risk of finishing 3rd as Chelsea’s recovery gathers pace and the Gunners’ reputation for being unable to hold on to a lead grows’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TIE-T AT THE TOP?

With Manchester United only managing a draw against Newcastle on Tuesday, Chelsea closed to within six points – level with Arsenal. William Hill think that with United still to play their two big rivals, there is an outside chance that there could be a tie at the top come the final day of the season. Hills offer 12/1 that any two sides finish top with the same amount of points and 100/1 that all three do.

**How Many Sides Will Top The Table On The Last Day Of The Season: 1/50 Winner on points; 12/1 Two sides level on points; 100/1 Three level on points

WILLIAM HILL…..TORRES NOW 3/1 TO FAIL TO SCORE THIS SEASON

Consigned to a bit part against Birmingham, Fernando Torres once again failed to find the net against Birmingham and William Hill have cut his odds from 7/2 to 3/1 to fail to score before the end of the season. He is 8/13 to bag his first goal against West Ham on Saturday.

“Nobody would have envisioned such a poor return from Torres and every game that goes by merely increases the chance of him failing to score before the end of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

When Will Torres Next Score?

WITH NEW RESERVES of cash likely to be haded to Kenny Dalglish to spend next season, William Hill still believe Liverpool are likely to have to settle for a place between 5th and 10th in the table next season – quoting that at 1/8. ‘Optimistic news are emanating from Anfield about next season, but we remain to be convinced that Liverpool will be serious title contenders’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bookies Relief After Treble Trouncing But Still Fear Double Trouble!

Bookies were celebrating Manchester United’s defeat to Manchester City. William Hill had seen the odds of United winning the treble backed in from over 100/1 to 6/1 and were facing a seven figure payout had they done it. 11 years ago, Hills had their worst ever football payout when United bagged the treble, but can sleep easily now that they are out of this year’s FA Cup. United are 3/1 to win the double
City are now the 2/5 favourites to win the tournament.
“As the season progressed, United to win the treble was backed in from 100/1 to 6/1 under the weight of almost £100,000 worth of bets,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We will not be waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the treble, but the double is still a danger.”
Following Paul Scholes’ red card, Hills are offering 3/1 that a player is dismissed during the game between Bolton and Stoke.

…………….PREMIER LEAGUE……………….

Blackpool inched closer to relegation following defeat to rivals Wigan and are now 3/10 (from 4/7) to go down. West Ham suffered last minute heartache against Aston Villa and are the 2/5 second favourites for relegation. Wigan and Wolves also share 5/6 to get relegated. At the other end of the table, despite not playing in the league, Manchester United are still 1/6 to win the league, while Arsenal are 11/2 and Chelsea 12/1.

“Following their twelfth defeat in sixteen games, Blackpool’s position looks perilous and they are now our favourites for the drop: a position they have not held since pre-season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.
