HAMMERING THROUGH PLAY OFFS….
WEST HAM are now 4/5 favourites to win the Championship play-offs with William Hill who make Birmingham 11/4, with Blackpool 10/3; Cardiff 12/1.
LUTON TOWN are 11/8 favourites to win the BSP Play offs with William Hill who also offer 15/8 Mansfield; 10/3 York; 13/2 Wrexham.
Read moreDarren Bent has provided Roy Hodgson with a boost, with the news that he could be back and playing in time for the European Championships and William Hill have cut the odds of him being called up to the squad from 4/1 to 7/2. He is 1/6 to be left at home.
Darren Bents absence has been obvious as Villa have slumped down the table without his goals, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. England could find themselves in a similar situation without Wayne Rooney and Bents quality could be much needed.
West Ham just missed out on automatic promotion to the Premier League and they are 13/8 favourites to win the Championship playoffs at Hills who go 5/2 Birmingham; 10/3 Blackpool and 10/3 Cardiff. It could be argued that West Ham should have been promoted easily and Hills offer 14/1 that West Ham go up and Sam Allardyce leaves the club before the start of the season.

Read moreThe Premier League have confirmed that there will be no handshakes between Chelsea and QPR at the weekend and William Hill are offering 11/4 that the tradition is done away with by the start of next season (1/4 that it is not).
This is not the first time that there has been controversy surrounding the pre match handshakes in recent seasons and 11/4 is the shortest price that we have ever offered about the tradition is abolished, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Despite their exertions against Barcelona, Chelsea are 4/9 favourites to win the game, with QPR 7/2 and the draw 3/1.
