SACRE BLEU – FRENCH 100-1 NOT PLAY THEIR MATCH AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA

William Hill are offering odds of 100-1 for the French team not to fulfil their fixture against South Africa next week following the news that they refused to train on Sunday.

The squad arrived at their training camp on Sunday, but they left after the fitness coach Robert Duverne stormed off following a heated argument with the coach Raymond Domenech.

The players were so incensed that the jumped back on the team bus, and refused to train.

Hills have also pushed France’s odds to beat South Africa out to 6-5 from 21-20.

‘We thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse in the French camp, but they just have,’ said Hills Irish spokesman Tony Kenny ‘France were already weak in the betting for their match against South Africa, however, the latest news will probably lead to them drifting even further.’

‘As an Irish football fan – the antics of the French team make our absence from the tournament even more painful.’

‘If they didn’t want to go to South Africa in the first place then they should have let us take their place in the finals.’ Said Kenny

Some thoughts for today:

3.10 York – York is riding very quick and there may be a few surprises. Two horses at biggish odds have an each way squeak for me – Pachattack and Collateral […]

‘David Dein is well versed in the arcane ways of football politics and will be a formidable leader of the bid, so the news has encouraged us to shorten England’s odds, particularly as they have also been well backed to win it’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL – TO HOST 2018 WORLD CUP…5/4 England; 5/2 Australia; 3/1 Spain/Portugal; 9/2 Russia; 25/1 Holland/Belgium; 25/1 Japan; 33/1 USA; 80/1 Indonesia.

Replay odds slashed from 100/1 to 10/1:
YOU BET KEANE BLAST COULD BE JOB APPLICATION!

PUNTERS believe that Roy Keane’s blast at the Republic for failing to qualify for the World Cup may lead to him being invited to manage the team himself and have cut their odds about him becoming their next manager from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘Keane is obviously a very high profile character and it may just be that by saying what he did he was actually putting himself in the frame to take the side over when Trapattoni stands down- although he probably needs to improve his record at Ipswich first!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE SLASHED THE ODDS ABOUT THE FRANCE-IRELAND GAME BEING REPLAYED FROM 100/1 TO 10/1. ‘Despite FIFA’s insistence that the game will not be replayed, punters are determined to bet that it will, and we have taken hundreds of bets, average size between £10 and £20, that it will happen.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills offer Chelsea at 5/1 to win the title both this season and next, and spokesman Graham Sharpe said, ‘Chelsea will doubtless appeal against this decision and it may not be beyond them to find a way around any restriction on acquiring players, possibly via the loans system, so we can’t see it having a major effect on their title chances during this and next season’.
Chelsea are Even money with Hills to win none of the major trophies this season, and 150/1 to win all four.

WHO’LL START ENGLAND’S WORLD CUP QUALIFIER AGAINST CROATIA?

Heskey 5/6 5/6
Beckham 8/13 6/5
