You Bet It’s Tie-t At The Top…premier League Specials

With Manchester United only managing a draw against Newcastle on Tuesday, Chelsea were able to close the gap at the top of the league to six points – level with Arsenal. William Hill think that with United still to play their two big rivals, there is an outside chance that there could be a tie at the top come the final day of the season. Hills offer 12/1 that two sides finish top with the same amount of points and 100/1 that three do.

“Manchester United and Arsenal have dropped points recently allowing Chelsea to get back into the title race,” said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly, “although a three way tie does not look very likely.”

Arsenal threw away yet another winning position against Tottenham on Wednesday and Hills are offering 7/1 that Arsenal lead against Bolton and fail to win.

How Many Sides Will Top The Table On The Last Day Of The Season: 1/50 Winner on points; 12/1 Two sides level on points; 100/1 Three level on points

WILLIAM HILL…..TORRES NOW 3/1 TO FAIL TO SCORE THIS SEASON

Consigned to a bit part against Birmingham, Fernando Torres once again failed to find the net against Birmingham and William Hill have cut his odds from 7/2 to 3/1 to fail to score before the end of the season. He is 8/13 to bag his first goal against West Ham on Saturday.

“Nobody would have envisioned such a poor return from Torres and every game that goes by merely increases the chance of him failing to score before the end of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

United To Bounce Back As Arsene On Shaky Ground And Carlo Favourite For Chop

WILL UNITED BOUNCE BACK IN PREM?

WILLIAM HILL make Manchester United 8/11 to bounce back from FA Cup defeat by beating Newcastle in their Tuesday night Premier League fixture. The home side are 4/1, with the draw 5/2 and Hills now make Man U 6/5 chances to clock up 82 points or more this season – and 11/4 to win the title by ten or more points. ‘This match is probably the last hope their title challengers have of seeing United falter as the title winning post apoproaches’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MAN UTD TOTAL POINTS: 9/4… 78 or less, 7/4.. 79-81, 6/5… 82 or more

Man Utd Winning Margin: 5/1……. 1 to 3, 9/4… 4 to 6, 9/4… 7 to 9, 11/4 ….10 or more, 50/1 Goal Difference, 9/2 Not win it.

WENGER ON SHAKY GROUND?

WILLIAM HILL are offering 11/4 that Arsene Wenger will fail to shake hands with his opposing manager in any of Arsenal’s remaining matches this season after he was involved in another end of game spat with Kenny Dalglish. ‘Mr Wenger’s managerial fan club has diminished somewhat this season after a couple of petulant end of match encounters and with the pressure increasing on him as Arsenal yet again look like failing to win a trophy, he might well yet snub another boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills now offer 6/1 that Wenger will no longer be Arsenal manager on the first day of next season, and 1/12 that he will still be there.
MEANWHILE, HILLS OFFER 25/1 ABOUT ARSENAL WINNING THEIR REMAINING SIX GAMES – 40/1 THAT THEY FAIL TO WIN ANY OF THEM

CARLO FAVOURITE TO BE NEXT BOSS TO GO

WILLIAM HILL are betting on who will be the next of the current Premier League managers to leave his club – whenever that happens – and make Carlo Ancelotti 2/1 favourite, with Steve Kean 3/1 second favourite, ahead of Avram Grant at 10/3. ‘Carlo’s long term future at Chelsea looks far from secure, but relegation for Blackburn would almost certainly result in Steve Kean’s departure, while Avram Grant has been leading a charmed life, having been favourite on seven separate occasions to be the next boss to go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Red Devils Will Leave Bookies Feeling Blue

The FA Cup semi-finals kick off on Saturday as Man City play Man Utd and William Hill make the red side of the city 11/10 favourites to get through to the final. It would appear that the loss of Wayne Rooney for United is not as damaging as the loss of Carlos Tevez for City and Hills punters have been rushing in to back United, already resulting in a five figure loss. Hills favourites to reach the final are Manchester United and Bolton, offered at 17/10, while a Stoke/Manchester City final is the outsider at 7/2.

“Manchester United are firm favourites both with us and the punters and we are keeping our fingers firmly crossed for a City victory,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tottenham Face Uphill Struggle To Match Champs League Heroics Next Season

Tottenham’s European dream ended at the hands of Real Madrid tonight and William Hill are offering 9/4 that Spurs play Champions League football next season. Tottenham have progressed incredibly under Harry Redknapp and he is 6/4 to become the next England manager. Despite Redknapp’s assurances that his team will not be being split up, the lure of Champion’s League may prove to be too much for some of Spur’s biggest players and Modric is 13/8 to leave the club before the first game of next season, while Van der Vaart is 9/4 and Bale 11/10 to do the same.

“Tottenham have really lit up the competition this season, but their 4-0 victory, that was very well backed pre match, failed to materialise and the odds suggest that Spurs will struggle to get back into the competition for next year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will now face each other in the Champions League Semi-Final, in what will be one of four El Classico games before the end of the season and Hills offer 33/1 that Real Madrid win them all and 10/1 that Barcelona do so.

William Hill Odds:

Champions League Outright: 1/1 Barcelona; 5/2 Manchester United; 3/1 Real Madrid; 12/1 Schalke

To Qualify:
7/4 Real Madrid; 2/5 Barcelona;
11/4 Schalke; 1/4 Manchester United

Odds-on For Carlo To Say Ciao To Chelsea In Summer

Carlo Acelotti appears to be walking a very thin line following Chelsea’s capitulation against Manchester United. Bookmakers William Hill offer 5/1 that he is the next Premier League manager to leave their job and also 1/3 that he is not in charge come the first day of next season. Should Ancelotti be relieved of his position, Hills are 5/2 that Guus Hiddink takes over as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Jose Mourinho is 11/4.

Fernando Torres has endured a wretched start to his Chelsea career although Hills offer Even money that his goal drought ends against West Brom at the weekend. He is 7/2 to fail to score for the rest of the season. It is 10/3 that Torres has left Chelsea by the first game of next season while the odds suggest that the first of Chelsea’s strikers to leave the club will be Drogba (11/8) followed by Nicolas Anelka at 7/4.

“It is fair to say that Chelsea’s season has not gone quite to plan and their first season without a trophy in three years could well be the death knell for Ancelotti,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
