28/1 All Manchester Final…2/1 For Giggs To Score Next Year

Both Manchester United and Manchester City were held to draws in their opening Champions League matches and are 6/1 (United) and 10/1 (City) to win this year’s Champions League. Hills make United the 4/6 favourites of the two Manchester sides to progress further in the competition with City 11/10. The price of an all Manchester final has been pushed out slightly from 25/1 to 28/1.

“While neither sides administered the hammering that we were expecting, they did avoid defeat in what were two potentially tricky ties and for this reason, their odds of winning the competition have remained largely the same,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ryan Giggs scored in his 16th Champions League campaign and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he scores in next year’s competition.

Following the 0-0 draw between QPR and Newcastle, William Hill are offering 25/1 (QPR) and 12/1 (Newcastle) respectively that the sides qualify for Europe this season. Hills offer 9/4 that QPR are relegated this season and 7/1 that Newcastle are. QPR are 1/3 to stay up, while Newcastle are 1/16. Newcastle have been cut to 80/1 for a top four finish with QPR offered at 200/1.

“The result indicates a dull, goalless draw but in reality it was anything but,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It has shown us that both sides will have a lot to say within the league but would have to be considered more as relegation fodder than European contenders.”

Joey Barton made his debut for QPR and William Hill offer 4/1 that he scores six or more goals for the Royals this season and he is 1/2 to avoid a red card all season.

William Hill Odds:

Joey Barton Premier League Red Cards 2011/12: ½ none; 5/2 one; 9/2 one

Redknapp Odds Slashed For England Job…but Will He Be Before Or After Euros?

With astonishing claims suggesting that the FA are drawing up plans to oust Fabio Capello before the Euro Championships and replace him with Harry Redknapp, Hills have slashed the odds on the Spurs boss being the man to replace the Italian when he does eventually step down. He is 8/11 to be the next England boss, with Martin O’Neill his closest contender at 8/1 for the job.

“The reports on Sunday morning were pretty sensational and it would appear that when Capello does go, whether before or after the Euros, Harry Redknapp has been earmarked as the successor,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday and William Hill offer 5/4 that those are his only two. He is 9/4 to get one more this season and 3/1 to get two more. He is 6/1 to net five or more trebles this season.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Who be will be England Manager at Euro 2012: 1/3 Capello; 9/4 Redknapp

How many hat-tricks will Wayne Rooney score this season (currently on 2): 5/4 two; 9/4 three; 3/1 four; 6/1 five or more
