Hills offer 20/1 that Banksy decorates the statue and 25/1 that his microphone is replaced by an umbrella.

To say that the statue has not gone down well, would be an understatement and it would come as no surprise if somebody did decorate it in their own special way, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

He is 1/2 to mention the U21 European Championships, a topic that has caused much consternation for Arsene Wenger, and Capello is 6/4 to make mention of the Arsenal boss.

With Capello struggling to decide who should start up front with Wayne Rooney, he is 100/1 to mention Michael Ricketts in his post match interview on ITV.

Arsene Wenger is not happy that Fabio Capello has lobbied for Jack Wilshere to compete in the U21 European Championships and Fabio could well use the post match interview to address the issue, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

1/2 U21s European Championship

Hills make next season (2011/12) the 8/11 favourite, with this season priced at 5/2. He is 11/4 to continue his feud and fail to give interviews for another season and a half.

Sir Alex has held a grudge against the BBC for six years, but it appears that he may finally be willing to let sleeping dogs lie and start talking to MOTD once more, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

When Will Sir Alex Ferguson Next Speak To BBC Match Of The Day:
5/2 This Season

Wales Lengthened As England Are Baled Out…has Jack The Lad Spelled The End For Lamps?

April 1, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bet, Blip, David Beckham, Euro 2012, Euro Qualifiers, Frank Lampard, International Football, Jack The Lad, Joe Crilly, Lamps, Match, Matt Jarvis, Midfield, Millennium Stadium, Odds, Pomp, Spokesman, Steven Gerrard, Wales England, William Hill

Following the news that Gareth Bale has pulled out of the Wales squad to face England, William Hill have shortened England, from 4/9 to 2/5, to win the match at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. Wales are now 15/2, having been 6/1, while the draw is 10/3.

It goes to show how important a player Gareth Bale is for Wales. Not even Ryan Giggs in his pomp withdrawing from the squad would have affected the odds this much, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Jack Wilshere looks set to start ahead of Frank Lampard in the Wales game but Hills feel that this is just a small blip and have Lamps as the 11/10 favourite to start more Euro 2012 qualifiers than either Steven Gerrard or Jack Wilshere. Hills also offer 5/4 that he plays all five of Englands remaining Euro qualifiers.

There has been a great deal of discussion over the years about accommodating both Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the centre of midfield, but the odds appear to suggest that the experiment will continue until at least the start of Euro 2012, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wales / England Odds:

90 Minutes: 15/2 Wales; 2/5 England; 10/3 Draw

How Many More Euro Qualifying Games Will Frank Lampard Start: 10/1 None; 20/1 One; 16/1 Two; 7/2 Three; 2/1 Four; 5/4 All Five

Who Will Start More Qualifying Games In 2011: 11/10 Frank Lampard; 5/4 Gerrard; 4/1 Jack Wilshere

Frank Lampard To Quit International Football In 2011: 7/2 Yes; 1/6 No

Matt Jarvis To Play Any Part In Euro 2011 Qualification: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No

David Beckham To Play Any Part In Euro 2011 Qualification: 9/4 Yes; 1/3 No

You Bet Mourinho Is On Verge Of Special Stamford Homecoming

March 31, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alex Mcleish, Business In England, Carlo Ancelotti, David Moyes, Didier Deschamps, Frank Rijkaard, Gerard Houllier, Guus Hiddink, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klinsmann, Mark Hughes, Martin O Neill, Pep Guardiola, Premier League Manager, Rafael Benitez, Roberto Mancini, Roberto Martinez, Steve Kean, William Hill

William Hill have cut the odds of Jose Mourinho becoming the next permanent Chelsea manager from 8/1 to 11/4, following his claims that he has unfinished business in England. Several three figure bets in the space of a week have been staked on the Special One coming home.

The odds suggest that Ancelottis days are numbered and we have seen a greater than normal interest in the next Chelsea manager market. Mourinho has been backed in from 8/1 in recent weeks and the money suggests that we may well see a Special Homecoming sooner rather than later, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carlo Ancelotti is 7/2 to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position, behind no manager to go (6/4) and Steve Kean (3/1).

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 11/4 Jose Mourinho; 11/4 Guus Hiddink; 8/1 Didier Deschamps; 8/1 Frank Rijkaard; 10/1 Pep Guardiola; 12/1 Martin ONeill; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 BAR

6th Premier League Manager To Leave: 6/4 No Manager To Leave; 3/1 Steve Kean; 7/2 Gerard Houllier; 7/2 Roberto Martinez; 6/1 Roberto Mancini; 10/1 Avram Grant; 14/1 Mark Hughes; 14/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 25/1 BAR
