Ferdinand 11/10 To Snub Terry Shake

John Terry and Anton Ferdinand come face to face for the first time since their on-pitch altercation and William Hill are offering 11/10 that the England skipper is snubbed during the pre-match handshakes by Ferdinand.

“With first Wayne Bridge and secondly Anton Ferdinand, John Terry is running out of people to shake hands with,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Frank Lampard is a wanted man, with Carlo Ancelotti looking to team up with his former player at PSG. William Hill are offering 6/4 that Lampard has left Chelsea before the start of next season and make PSG the 5/4 favourites to capture the England midfielder with LA Galaxy 15/8 and Real Madrid 8/1.

Another former Chelsea manager hitting the headlines is Jose Mourinho who could be on his way out of the Bernabeu. William Hill offer 6/5 that he has left Real Madrid by the start of next season and another manager swapping London for the Spanish capital could be Arsene Wenger, who is the 10/3 favourite to take the Real hot seat ahead of Rafa Benitez and Joachim Low at 7/1.

William Hill Odds:

Anton Ferdinand and John Terry to shake hands this weekend: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Frank Lampard next club: 5/4 PSG; 15/8 LA Galaxy; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Inter Milan; 12/1 Milan

Frank Lampard to be at Chelsea on the first game of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Tevez to leave Manchester City in January: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Tevez to play for Manchester City again: 2/9 no; 3/1 yes

Mourinho to leave Real Madrid by the start of next season: 6/5 yes; 8/13 no

Chelsea’s defensive issues were highlighted once more and they have now failed to keep a clean sheet at home since April. They are 25/1 to fail to keep a home clean sheet in the next five matches.

“Chelsea found themselves in a funk like this during last season and it ultimately cost Carlo Ancelotti his job and should this poor run of form continue, then Villas-Boas could be in the same position come the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Frank Backed To Start As England Reign Over Spain

England were priced at 7/2 with William Hill to win against the World Champions who were the first odds on team to face the Three Lions at the new Wembley. Frank Lampard scored the winner and stood in for John Terry as captain and Hills are undecided as to whether he will start England’s Euro 2012 campaign offering 5/6 he starts England’s first game and 5/6 that he does not. Darren Bent set up the winner and, in the absence of Rooney is 4/7 to start England’s first match.

Spain remain the 5/2 favourites to win the Euros next summer while England are 11/1 joint fifth favourites.

“We are not going to get too carried away and suddenly make England favourites for the Euros but a result like that could possibly tempt a few more punters to have a go at our 11/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello will be taking charge of England for the last time in Poland and the Ukraine with Harry Redknapp the favourite to take the reins after him. His odds have drifted from 8/11 to 7/4 but he is still quite away ahead of Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger who are the 8/1 second favourites.

To Start 1st Euro 2012 game for England:

Lampard: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Terry: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Bent: 4/7 yes; 5/4

Next England Manager: 7/4 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 14/1 Gareth Southgate; 14/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Euro 2012 Winner: 5/2 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 Portugal; 33/1 BAR

CHELSEA 8/1 NOT TO WIN IN NEXT THREE GAMES

WILLIAM HILL are betting on when winless-in-three Chelsea will next manage to come out on top in a match – and make them 8/1 not to do so in their next three games. ‘Chelsea currently face a mini crisis, but if they can’t win any of their next three it will become a full blown crisis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE CUT THEIR ODDS FOR VILLAS-BOAS TO BE GONE BY 1ST GAME OF NEXT SEASON FROM 9/4 TO 7/4 – HE IS 2/5 STILL TO BE THERE.’Chelsea managers generally have a short shelf life if they don’t produce a trophy-winning season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Chelsea are 2/7 with Hills to win none of the four major trophies this season.

When Will Chelsea Next Win?
Blackburn (Away)4/9
Liverpool (Home)7/2
Bayer Leverkusen (Away)9/1
None Of These Games………..8/1

If John Terry Starts Against Blackburn Will He Finish The Game? Yes 1/10……No 11/2

TEVEZ TO START AGAIN FOR CITY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 6/5 that Carlos Tevez will start a competitive match for Man C before the end of the January transfer window, and 6/5 that he will not. ‘Mancini seems to be hinting that there could be a reconciliation, but how that would go down with fans remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TOON 33/1 TO TAKE 10+ POINTS FROM NEXT FOUR GAMES
NEWCASTLE’s stunning start to the Premier League season has seen manager Alan Pardew become a 10/1 shot to become LMA Manager of the Year with William Hill who make his striker Dember Ba 16/1 to end up top scorer in the division, and 11/4 to double his already impressive total of two Prem hat tricks before the season is out.
Newcastle now face a stern examination of their credentials as they face Everton, Man C, Man U and Chelsea in their next four matches and Hills offer 33/1 that they take 10 or more points from those games. ‘Now we will see whether Newcastle have reached these heights courtesy of the fixture list or belong their on merit. We expect them to end up between 7th and 10th – still a worthy achievement’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL TOON SPECIALS:
Newcastle to win Prem – 500/1; To finish in top 4 – 14/1; To be relegated – 33/1
Newcastle unbeaten in premier League this season? 80/1

EDEN ON THE MOVE

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on where sought after Lille midfielder Eden Hazard will end up when he leaves the club, probably at the end of this season – and make Chelsea 9/4 favourites to snap the Belgian up. ‘Arsenal are believed to covet M Eden but not everyone at Lille would like to see him end up at the Emirates, so they are only 7/2 second favourites in our market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make PSG 4/1 third favourites, with Real Madrid at 6/1; Inter/Man City 7/1; Bayern Munich 12/1; Liverpool 16/1.

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

Jose Jab Could Land The Special One In Hot Water

Another fiery El Clasico ended with a fracas and William Hill are offering 1/3 that Jose Mourinho receives a touchline ban for his rather ungentlemanly conduct. He is 9/4 to escape punishment. Hills also offer Even money that there is a red card in the first Barca/Real Madrid game of the season.

“Mourinho has been a very naughty boy once again and it looks as though the Spanish FA will see through his innocent schoolchild protests and hand him a ban,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

It is thought that Mourinho will have to improve on his one trophy from last season if he is to keep his job and Hills go 8/11 that he has left the Bernabeu by the start of the 2012/13 season. Should he be in the search for a job, Hills make Manchester City the most likely destination at 11/4 and Manchester United the 3/1 second favourites.

Where will Mourinho manage next: 11/4 Manchester City; 3/1 Manchester United; 7/2 Chelsea; 9/2 Inter Milan; 7/1 AC Milan; 9/1 Bayern Munich; 11/1 Arsenal; 33/1 Barcelona

Mourinho to receive touchline ban for Super Cup incident: 1/3 Yes; 9/4 no

Red card in the first El Clasico: 1/1
