Red Mist On The Tyne Hampers Arsenal’s Chance To Steal A March

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

Newcastle and Arsenal shared the spoils on the opening day of the season and Arsenal have been pushed out to 12/1 to win the Premier League with William Hill. In a fiery affair, there was one red card for Arsenal and could have been another with Joey Barton involved in both incidents. Hills offer 6/5 that Arsenal receive between one and three red cards this season and 7/4 that they get four or five. Joey Barton on the other hand is odds on, at 4/6 to receive no red cards this season and is 5/6 to still be at Newcastle at the end of the summer transfer window and 5/6 that he is not. An uninspiring draw will not have improved Arsenal fan’s dim view on Arsene Wenger’s transfer policy and he is 5/2 to have left his job by the final day of this season.

“Arsene’s men lost their heads once again at St James’ Park and came away with a draw,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “While not a disastrous result, the craft of Fabregas and Nasri was sorely missed and Wenger may have to splash the cash quite soon.”

Elsewhere, Liverpool’s odds of 10/1 were eased to 12/1 following a home draw against Sunderland.

Joey Barton Red Cards In The Premier League: 4/6 none; 5/2 one; 3/1 two or more

Arsenal red cards in the Premier League: 6/5 one – three; 7/4 four – five; 9/4 six or more

Joey Barton to still be at Newcastle come the end of the transfer window: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Arsene Wenger to still be Arsenal boss come the last day of the season: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Premier League Outright: 11/8 Manchester United; 5/2 Chelsea; 4/1 Manchester City; 12/1 Arsenal; 12/1 Liverpool; 50/1 BAR

Premier League Transfer Window: Sneijder In, Nasri Out

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

Premier League Transfer Window: Sneijder In, Nasri Out
William Hill took a £1000 bet late last night on Wesley Sneijder joining Manchester United and Hills have slashed his odds from 6/4 to 5/6 to join Sir Alex Ferguson’s side. He is now 5/6 to not join Manchester United.

“It is no secret that Sir Alex wants to find a replacement for Paul Scholes and has identified Sneijder as the man to fill the gap,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Our punters seem to be of the same opinion.”

Arsene Wenger has secured the services of Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain and William Hill have cut the odds of Samir Nasri leaving the club from 6/4 to 1/2. Wenger has also claimed that his summer spending is not over and Hills offer 5/2 that he brings in two more players and 3/1 that he brings in three more.

How many more signings will Arsene Wenger bring in before the end of the summer transfer window: 4/1 none; 5/2 one; 5/2 two; 3/1 three; 6/1 four; 8/1 five or more

Samir Nasri to leave Arsenal before the end of the transfer window: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Wesley Sneijder to join Manchester United by the end of the summer transfer window: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Who Will Win The Battle Of The Prem’s New Wonderkids?

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

Who Will Win The Battle Of The Prem’s New Wonderkids?

With two teenage starlets set to sign for Arsenal and Chelsea, William Hill are offering a match bet between who will score more goals between Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Romelu Lukaku. The 17 year old Southampton player is 7/2 to score more goals than his Belgian counterpart who is 11/8 to score more goals. Chamberlain is, however, slight favourite of the two to start more games than Lukaku, who is 5/2 to do so.

“Wenger is known for his love of blooding youngsters at Arsenal and with the attacking options available to Andre Villas-Boas, Lukaku may find starts hard to come by,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “But the Belgian striker has shown he has a great goalscoring ability and that is not to be sniffed at.”

With Sir Alex Ferguson claiming that 84 points will win the Premier League this season, William Hill are offering 5/1 that the winner obtains that exact number of points. 13/8 that less points are won to secure the title and 4/6 that the winner of the Premier League has to score more than that.

Last season, 1063 goals were scored in the Premier League and Hills offer 100/1 that the same total is matched exactly. 10/11 is available for fewer to be scored and 4/5 for more.

How many points will win the EPL: 13/8 Under 84; 5/1 84; 4/6 Over 84

How many goals will be scored in this season’s EPL: 10/11 under 1063; 100/1 exactly 1063; 4/5 over 1063

Chamberlain vs Lukaku:

Most Starts: 2/1 Chamberlain; 5/2 Lukaku; 1/1 Tie

Most Goals: 7/2 Chamberlain; 11/8 Lukaku; 11/10 Tie

Championship Sack Race Hots Up: Sven Odds On To Go Before Mclaren

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

With the Championship season set to kick off this weekend, Hills are offering a brand new market on the Manager Sack Race. The Championship is home to a number of high profile managers this year and the market is expected to be incredibly competitive with Coventry manager, Andy Thorn, the 6/1 favourite to be the first manager to leave his club. Keith Millen and Sean Dyche round off the top three at 7/1. With two former England managers plying their trade in the division, Hills offer 14/1 that Steve McLaren is the first manager to go, while Sven Goran Eriksson is 16/1 although Sven is 8/11 to be out of a job before the Wally with the Brolly.

“This year’s Championship is expected to be one of the closest ever with a number of high profile managers in charge of high profile clubs. Not all of them will be able to live up to expectations and the managers’ sack race could potentially be quite a volatile market,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

First Championship manager to leave his job: 6/1 Andy Thorn; 7/1 Keith Millen; 7/1 Sean Dyche; 8/1 Nigel Clough; 9/1 Chris Hughton; 9/1 Ian Holloway; 10/1 Sean O’Driscoll; 10/1 Steve Cotterill; 12/1 Tony Mowbray; 14/1 Steve McLaren; 16/1 Darren Ferguson; 16/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 16/1 Simon Grayson; 16/1 Dougie Freedman; 16/1 Eddie Howe; 16/1 Paul Jewell; 20/1 Nigel Pearson; 20/1 Brian McDermott; 20/1 Keith Hill; 20/1 Nigel Adkins; 20/1 Sam Allardyce; 20/1 Gus Poyet; 20/1 Kenny Jackett; 20/1 Malky Mackay

Arsenal got the toughest possible draw in the fourth round of qualifying for the Champions League as they take on Udinese. Arsenal, however are 2/9 favourites to qualify ahead of 3/1 Udinese. In the first leg match, Arsenal are 4/11 favourites, while Udinese are 6/1 and the draw is 3/1. Arsenal are 20/1 to win the Champions League.

Is Gary Gunning For Arsenal As Fab Heads For The Exit?

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

Owen Coyle has said that he has had no dialogue with Liverpool regarding the future of Gary Cahill and despite the Reds interest in the defender, William Hill make Arsenal the 1/2 favourites to win the race to sign him. Chelsea are 7/2 second favourites to be Cahill’s next club with Liverpool 6/1. Kenny Dalglish has been a very busy boy since taking over from Roy Hodgson in January and Hills 6/4 that he brings in between 3-5 more players and 11/8 he signs six or more.

Liverpool’s first game is at home to Sunderland and Hills go 6/10 that they keep a clean sheet, 8/5 they concede one, 9/2 two, 28/1 three and 80/1 four or more.

“Liverpool’s defence has been shaky to say the least this pre-season and Dalglish realises that his back line’s deficiencies need remedying before the start of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Saying this, however, Arsenal are the favourites to sign Cahill.”

In a potential U-Turn, Joey Barton has said he could well stay at Newcastle for the next year and Hills make him 11/2 to do so, although he is 11/2 to have departed St James’ Park by the time the summer transfer window slams shut. Everton and Stoke currently head the betting to sign Barton at 11/4, while Arsenal are offered at 4/1 with Spurs 9/2.

Cesc Fabregas took part in Arsenal’s open training session but William Hill make him 1/4 to have left the Emirates by the end of the transfer window.

How many more paid signings will Kenny Dalglish make this season: 2/1 0-2; 6/4 3-5; 11/8 6+

Gary Cahill next club: 1/2 Arsenal; 7/2 Chelsea; 6/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Manchester City

Joey Barton Next Club: 11/4 Everton; 11/4 Stoke; 4/1 Arsenal; 9/2 Tottenham; 5/1 Celtic; 6/1 Aston Villa; 7/1 Man Utd; 10/1 West Ham; 12/1 Blackburn; 14/1 Bolton; 20/1 Wolves; 20/1 Fulham; 20/1 QPR; 20/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Liverpool; 25/1 Wigan; 40/1 Chelsea

Joey Barton Still at Newcastle after summer transfer window: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no

Cesc Fabregas to still be at Arsenal after the close of the summer transfer window: 1/4 no; 11/4 yes
