Super Goal Makes Crouchy 5/2 To Go To Euros…city Out To 6/4 For League Title

Manchester City moved to the top of the table although failed to get the victory that they would have wanted and William Hill make them 6/4 to win the Premier League. Despite a strong start to the season, Manchester City have gone off the boil and are in real danger of letting the chance of league victory slipping through their fingers. Should that happen, Mancini could well be on his way and William Hill offer 7/4 that he is no longer in charge of Manchester City come the start of next season (2/5 to still be there).

“If Mancini did not know the meaning of squeaky bum time, he will certainly be getting the message now, something that will not be lost on Sir Alex,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Peter Crouch scored a wonder goal preventing City from getting the win and he will be hopeful of getting a call up to the England squad for the Euros. William Hill make him 5/2 to get the call up (2/7 to be left at home).

Premier League Outright: 1/2 Manchester United; 6/4 Manchester City; 200/1 Arsenal; 500/1 Tottenham

Mancini at Manchester City first day of next season: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Peter Crouch to make Euro 2012 squad: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

Di Matteo Backed To Be Full Time Boss After Chelsea Turn It Round

Torres odds on for 3 or fewer goals during rest of season….
DI MATTEO BACKED TO BE FULL TIME BOSS AFTER CHELSEA TURN IT ROUND…..

ROBERTO DI MATTEO was 8/1 with William Hill to to be appointed Chelsea’s permanent manager prior to kick-off of their Champions League game against Napoli on Wednesday evening. After the game he was cut to 5/1 as punters clamoured to back him, and now he is down to 5/2 second favourite with Hills, a fraction behind 9/4 favourite Jose Mourinho. ‘One swallow doesn;t make a summer, and one Champions League victory doesn’t make a trophy, but Chelsea fans appear to believe Di Matteo may well be the man charged with bringing the good times back to the Bridge’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills now make Chelsea 11/8 to manage a top 4 finish in the Premier League – and 25/1 to turn potential disaster into triumph by winning both the FA Cup and Champions League. However, they are also 2/7 to end the season empty-handed.
HILLS HAVE OPENED A BOOK on how many goals Torres will score from now until the end of the season – and make 0-3 their 4/5 favourite. ‘Even fans of rival clubs seem to want to see Torres come out of his goal drought now, but everyone is speculating on whether he will score again this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL…..NEXT PERMANENT (ONE YEAR CONTRACT OR LONGER) CHELSEA MANAGER – 9/4 Mourinho; 5/2 RDM; 9/2 Benitez; 9/1 Capello;Low; 10/1 Guardiola. Others on request.

How many goals will Fernando Torres score for Chelsea between now and the end of the season? (includes Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, possible 19 games):- 0-3 = 4/5…. 4-7 = 5/2….. 8+ = 5/2

When will Chelsea lose first under Di Matteo?: 7/1 Leicester; 5/6 Manchester City; 13/2 Spurs; 8/1 Villa; 2/1 none of these four

********************************WILLIAM HILL WEEKEND PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS*****************************************************

1000/1 DEJA VILLA?

Aston Villa shocked Chelsea with a 2-1 home Premier League victory last season in which centre backs Richard Dunne and James Collins were their scorers with Didier Drogba getting the visitors’ reply.

William Hill are offering 1000/1 about the same score with the same scorers this weekend.’Maybe there will be deja vu at Villa Park’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS….LAST GAME ON SATURDAY MOTD

William Hill believe that the Wolves-West Ham and Bolton-Stoke matches are likely to scrap it out to be the LAST game shown on Match of the Day this weekend. ‘We’ll be staggered if the last game is not one of these two’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Wolves v West Ham
11/8

Bolton v Stoke
13/8

Newcastle v Wigan
5/2

Fulham v Tottenham

Arsenal v Birmingham

DOES DANNY HAVE A POINT – WILL HE SEE RED HIMSELF ?

WITH Danny Murphy pointing the finger at Blackburn, Stoke and Woklves, William Hill are betting on how many red cards those three clubs will clock up between them by the end of the Premier League season and make them 13/10 to end up with a total of 11 or more, whereas Murphy’s Fulham are 6/5 to receive no more than one all season and he is 10/1 to be red-carded himself. ‘Murphy’s outspoken comments have certainly put the focus on the disciplinary records of the three clubs he mentioned so we’re betting on their red card records’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**Hills make Murphy 9/4 to be carded aginst Spurs this weekend.

WAYNE 8/1 TO QUIT UNITED

Following Wayne Rooney’s recent comments, bookmakers William Hill are offering 5/2 that Alex Ferguson does not start him against West Brom at the weekend and 8/1 that he is not at Utd come the first day of next season. Man Utd are the 8/1 favourites to score the fastest goal this weekend and Owen Hargreaves, who is making his latest come back from injury, is 8/1 to score at any time.

‘These are troubled times for Rooney – he’s 13/2 not to start England’s next Euro qualifier, and it may be that he’ll have to make a clean break from United to get his career back on track’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills: Will Rooney Start Against West Brom?: 2/7 Yes; 5/2 No
If He Starts, Will He Finish The Game?: 5/6 Yes; 5/6 No
Rooney To Still Be At Man United On The First Day Of Next Season: 1/20 Yes; 8/1 No
What Will Happen First? 4/7 Rooney To Leave Man Utd; 5/4 Rooney To Get Divorced

WILLIAM HILL also make Wayne Rooney 13/2 to miss out on starting England’s next Euro 2012 qualifier, after yet another mediocre display in an England shirt. ‘England will hope Rooney’s club performances have shown him to be back to his best by the time the next qualifier comes around, or the striking positions could be well and truly up for grabs’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

2/1 MERSEYSIDE DERBY RED CARD

Merseyside Derbies are usually feisty affairs and William Hill are offering odds of 2/1 that there is a red card shown during the game. Liverpool, who go into Sunday’s game behind Everton and in the relegation zone, are 4/6 to finish the season in a higher league position than their Merseyside rivals. Hills are also offering 4/1 that Liverpool take all six points from Everton this season, while the blue side of Liverpool is 6/1 to take maximum points in the two grudge games.
“Liverpool desperately need to give their fans something to cheer about and it could well come in the form of victory over their rivals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hill’s Derby Day Odds:

11/8 Everton; 2/1 Liverpool; 11/5 Draw

Will There Be A Red Card In The Derby Game: 2/1 Yes
How Many Points Will Liverpool Take Off Everton This Season: 4/1 Six; 9/4 Four; 2/1 Three; 8/1 Two; 3/1 One; 6/1 None

Despite Sir Alex’s problems Hills are 1/10 that he will be Manchester Utd manager on day one of next season and United are 1/7 to win their next fixture against Burnley.
