HOW FAR WILL GUNNERS GO IN EUROPE?

WITH ARSENE WENGER again talking up Arsenal’s Champions League prospects, William Hill are betting on how far they will get in this year’s tournament and believe they will struggle to get past the last 16, making that their 7/4 favourite to be the stage at which they are eliminated. ‘Arsene is very much an optimist, but we believe the Gunners will do well to get past the Last 16 stage and if they do they’ll probably exit at the Quarter Final stage’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Arsenal 2/9 to end the season with no major trophy to their credit at all yet again, and quote 500/1 that they will win all four major tournaments they are in, 22/1 that they win the Premier League – FA Cup double.

ARSENAL are 1/7 to win their Champions League Group with Hills who also offer 9/2 Shakhtar; 12 Braga; 40 Partizan B. They are 1/50 to qualify; 12/1 not to.

City 5/4 To Outdo United

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

YOU BET CITY CAN OUTDO UNITED THIS SEASON….

WITH MANCHESTER CITY already flexing their financial muscle, William Hill make them 8/13 to finish in the top four next season and 6/5 not to – while they are just 5/1 to win the Premier League title. ‘City never looked like winning the title last season, but punters are already taking note of their early spending spree and we are now starting to see support coming in for them – we took 86 internet title bets for City, and a Manchester shop bet of £300 after the news of Yaya Toure’s signing was released’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘They are 5/1 third favourites at the moment and it is not impossible that they could overtake second favourites United if they keep on spending’

Hills make City 5/4 to finish above bitter rivals United, who are 4/7 to do vice versa, this season.

WITH MANCHESTER UNITED crashing out of the Champions League and their defeat by Chelsea threatening to deprive them of the title, William Hill have opened a market on when Sir Alex Ferguson will step down as United boss, and make 2011 their 9/4 favourite. ‘We’ll all wake up one morning int the not too distant future to hear the news that Sir Alex has decided to quit – as, of course, we have once before – but this time he’ll almost certainly mean it. However, the tantalising question is whether he’ll decide to go out on a low or high note.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Newcastle 13/8 To Come Straight Back Down

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

Hughton odds on to stay boss all next season:
NEWCASTLE 5000/1 TO WIN PREMIERSHIP

NEWCASTLE are quoted at 5000/1 by William Hill to win the Premiership title next season, following their promotion. However, Hills make them 4/9 to stay up, and 13/8 to go straight back down.
Chris Hughton is 8/11 with Hills still to be Newcastle boss on the LAST day of next season, Evens to have departed by then. ‘Hughton has done admirably to steer the club back into the top flight – but now they are back there he should beware of higher profile names sniffing around and putting themselves forward to take over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer them at 5/1 to finish in the top half of the table – 1/9 in the bottom half, and quote them at 50/1 for the FA Cup, 33/1 for the League Cup.
‘Newcastle’s return to the Premier League will certainly bring extra colour and drama to the division, but few will predict that they will be serious candidates for honours next season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
