Bookies Hail Gunners’ Multi Million Mix Up As Arsenal Odds On To Win Zilch – Again.

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

Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.

DROG ON HIS WAY? YOU CAN BET ON THAT………….

WITH REPORTS suggesting that Drogba is unsettled at Chelsea, William Hill are quoting him at 13/8 to have left the club by the first day of next season, while his under-pressure manager Carlo Ancelotti is a 5/6 chance to leave by then. ‘Everyone agrees Chelsea have an ageing side and the break up has to begin sooner or later, and if they win nothing this season it may well be sooner. The arrival of Torres could be advance warning of a changing of the old guard’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 1/10 that Chelsea will fail to lift a trophy this season.

William Hill believe that Man U will win the Premier League title, with Arsenal as runners-up, and make that outcome their Even money favourite in their ‘Premier League Straight Forecast’ market, in which a Man U – Man C outcome is 12/1 – and 50/1 vice versa. ‘At the moment it looks more than likely that United and Arsenal will fill the first two places in the Premier League, but with United in particular facing tough matches against title rivals and both of them playing on more than one front with a Treble or Quadruple at stake there is time for dramatic changes at the top’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
