England 3/1 to win all Euro qualifiers as:
RIO 6/4 TO STAY SKIPPER FOR REST OF QUALIFYING GROUP

Returning Rio Ferdinand is 6/4 with William Hill to start as skipper for the remainder of England’s Euro 2012 Qualifying matches. (1/2 not to) ‘Fabio clearly has no doubts that if he is fit, Rio takes the armband, but with his patchy season so far due to injury there must be a chance that he may miss out again between now and the final qualifying game’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
With Wayne Rooney starting the match, Hills offer 4/7 that he will still be on the pitch when the final whistle blows – and 5/4 that he will not. ‘Rooney is another whose fitness has to be taken on trust and it would be no surprise to see him taken off if he looks off the pace, or, perhaps, if the game is well won some time before the end’ added Sharpe.
Hills offer 3/10 that Joe Hart will start the rest of the games in goal.

**ENGLAND are 3/1 to win all of their Euro 2012 qualifying games with William Hill ,who make them 6/4 to end up with 16-18 goals in qualifying ; 7/4 19-21; 11/4 Over 21; 7/1 13-15; 20/1 Twelve or under. They currently have seven.

16/1 ENGLAND FRIENDLY LINE UP TO START NEXT COMPETITIVE MATCH

DESPITE Capello’s introduction of new blood into the squad for the friendly v Hungary, William Hill offer 16/1 that he will start with the same line up in the next competitive match v Bulgaria, as he opts for against the Hungarians. ‘The squad for this friendly could well prove to be a false dawn for those expecting a mass cull of the established players when Capello decides on his line up for the first Euro qualifier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we certainly do not expect to see the same line up then – our best guess is that seven or eight who start v Hungary will also do so against Bulgaria.’

WILLIAM HILL have cut the odds for a Wembley attendance of between 60,000 – 69,999 from 7/2 to 15/8 as forecasts for the crowd at the England – Hungary friendly became a little more optimistic, and Hills also shortened the odds for 50,000 to 59,999 from 9/4 to 15/8 joint favourite.
‘Noone seems sure whether fans will actually boycott the game, or want to take up his apparent invitation to boo the side, or perhaps even relent after Capello brought new blood into the squad and want to show their absolute satisfaction with his handling of the team’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bob A Job – Is It A Given ?

BOB – A JOB?

BOB BRADLEY is 11/4 favourite to become the next Aston Villa manager with William Hill who also offer 6/1 Bilic; Curbishley; Erikkson; 7/1 Jol; Southgate; 8/1 McLaren.

‘Bradley has no club experience in the English game but did well with USA, while Bilic and Erikkson seem to crop up on every list of potential managers for every high profile job which comes along – which could be more a tribute to their agents and pr people than their managerial abilities.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It seems that the O’Neill walk-out genuinely took the club by surprise so they are unlikely to be able to replace him immediately so this market is likely to change dramatically over the next few days’.

IS IT A GIVEN THAT SHAY WILL START FOR CITY?

WITH neither Shay Given nor Joe Hart happy to be regarded as the number two keeper at Man City, William Hill make Given 1/2 favourite to start in their opening match of the seaon, with Hart 6/4 to get the nod.
Hills offer 8/11 that BOTH Given and Hart will still be City players at the close of the January transfer window, EVENS that one or both will have left by then.

YOU BET GERRARD WILL KEEP GOAL-SCORING RUN GOING

STEVEN GERRARD has scored three of England’s last five goals and is 5/4 to notch again against Algeria.

But Wayne Rooney is favourite to end up as England’s top scorer with Hills at 13/8, with Gerrard at 5/2. Lampard is 6/1, with Crouch 8/1; Defoe and Heskey 12/1.

14/1 ENGLAND TO WIN NEXT TWO GAMES – AND THE WORLD CUP!

ENGLAND are 14/1 with Hills to defeat both Algeria and Slovenia, and then go on to win the World Cup. ‘This should be an attractive bet for anyone who fancies England to go all the way – because if they can’t win both of these matches they won’t have much chance of lifting the trophy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND are 1/4 to beat Algeria, 11/1, with the draw 9/2. To win Group: 8/15 England; 3/1 USA; 19/5 Slovenia; 66/1 Algeria.

WORLDWIDE WEBB?…Ref Howard Webb will be secretly hoping England fail to reach the World Cup Final – because if they do that will scupper his chances of being handed to top job for the game’s arbiters.

Webb performed well in his first game of the tournament and Hills quote him at 6/1 to get the nod to ref the Final. (Stakes refunded if England reach Final).

YOU BET DAVID JAMES WILL START IN GOAL

AFTER punters asked for bets of up to £2000 a time for David James to start in goal against Algeria on Friday and others staked up to £400 on the Portsmouth keeper to get the nod over Rob Green and Joe Hart, William Hill have closed their book.
‘We began to see a flurry of support for David James, with several three figure bets staked in Cardiff, Greater London and the Channel Islands, with one punter trying to bet £2000. These are not the type of bets we normally see on a market of this nature and as support for the other two has dried up we have closed the book at least temporarily’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We’re confident that Fabio will not have made his decision known yet but when a market likes this begins to suggest a one horse race it is time to take defensive action just in case…..’

BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’

ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.
