After their joint defeats in the Europa League on Thursday, Manchesters United and City will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Sunday although William Hill are offering 60/1 that both sides lose against West Brom and Swansea.

Hills think that the home advantage Manchester United have will enable them to have an easier time of things, with the match Even money to see the most goals on Sunday.

Both Manchester sides to lose: 60/1

Avb Stands On The Brink…after The Anfield Moggy Comes The Loftus Rd Squirrel, What Is Next?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

CHELSEA BOSS JUST 2/7 TO BE NEXT MANAGER OUT

Chelsea’s woeful run continued with defeat to West Brom and William Hill are offering 2/7 that Andre Villas is the next boss to leave his job with 8/11 for him to no longer be Chelsea manager on the first day of next season. Chelsea’s faltering season sees their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging by a thread and William Hill offer 8/15 that they do not play in Europe’s elite competition next season.

“AVB is staring at the abyss right now and a bad result against Birmingham could be the end of him…that is of course if he lasts that long,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres made yet another cameo and rather unsurprisingly, failed to find the net. Hills are now offering 9/4 that he fails to score in any of the next four Chelsea games, although he is Even money to score anytime against Birmingham. Chelsea are out to 10/1 to finish as top London club this season, with Spurs 1/8 and Arsenal 13/2.

In complete contrast to Chelsea, Manchester City have now won 19 consecutive home games and William Hill make them 9/2 to win all their remaining home games this season, although they are 10/11 to fail to win in their next home match against Chelsea.

Torres Next Score?
Birmingham (A) (FAC) EVS
Stoke (H) 5/2
Napoli (H) (UCL) 5/1
Man City (A) 8/1
None of these 9/4

**Must start vs Birmingham or bets void.

Chelsea to play in 2012/13 Champions league?
Yes – 11/8
No – 8/15

AvB at Chelsea on 1st day of 12/13 Premier League season?
Yes – EVS
No – 8/11

Man City fail to win at home?
Chelsea 19/03 10/11
Sunderland 31/03 6/1
West Brom 11/04 17/2
Man Utd 30/04 10/3
QPR 13/05 25/1
Win all remaining home games 9/2
**MUST BE PLAYED IN ABOVE ORDER.

Premier League Relegation: 1/5 Wigan; 4/6 Bolton; 8/11 QPR; 8/11 Blackburn; 4/5 Wolves; 14/1 Aston Villa; 20/1 BAR

Premier League Winner: 8/15Manchester City; 13/8 Manchester United; 66/1 Tottenham; 250/1 BAR

Next Premier League manager to go: 2/7 Andre Villas Boas; 5/1 Owen Coyle; 6/1 Alex McLeish; 6/1 No Manager to leave; 10/1 Steve Kean; 20/1 BAR

Loftus Road Sees Fine Display Of Nuts As Squirrel Takes To Pitch!

A squirrel stopped play at Loftus road, becoming the second animal to do so this season and William Hill have paid out to any punters who backed that particular creature halting a Premier League game at 10/1. Hills have now reopened the market and have cat and dog as the 7/2 joint favourite. Squirrel is 4/1 with mouse or rat 9/1. There has been plenty of magical football seen in the Premier League this season and Hills are offering 1000/1 that a unicorn is the next animal to stop play!

Next animal to stop a Premier League match: 7/2 Cat; 7/2 Dog; 4/1 Squirrel; 9/1 Mouse/Rat; 6/1 Fox; 6/1 Rabbit/Hare; 12/1 Goat; 20/1 Badger; 20/1 Mole; 25/1 Monkey; 33/1 Horse/Pony/Donkey; 33/1 Pig; 33/1 Cow; 50/1 Turtle/Tortoise; 100/1 Komodo Dragon; 100/1 Polar Bear; 100/1 Kangaroo; 100/1 Dingo; 100/1 Crocodile; 1000/1 Unicorn

MOURINHO MANAGERIAL MANIA – PUT THE HOUSE ON IT!

JOSE MOURINHO’s house-buying trip to London has seen punters desperate to back him to become a manager in England – or of England!
‘Mourinho’s odds of becoming England manager have been slashed from 20/1 to 12/1 FOURTH FAVOURITE – he is 5/2 FAVOURITE to become the next permanent Manchester United manager; 5/2 JOINT FAVOURITE to do likewise at Chelsea; 6/1 SECOND FAVOURITE to do so at Spurs and 14/1 FOURTH FAVOURITE to land that role at Arsenal’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Punters have gone Mourinho mad- and are indiscriminately backing him for any and every high profile managerial job they can think of – in fact, if the money is inspired he could soon find himself in charge of FOUR Premier League clubs AND the England team’.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL NEXT PERMANENT (Contract of year or longer) ENGLAND BOSS ODDS… 1/7 Redknapp; 8/1 Pearce; 9 Guardiola; 12 Mourinho; 14 Hodgson; 16 Hiddink.

Captain Scott Slashed For France Match…tevez Start Anytime Soon Could Be Stretch…mourinho Househunt Sparks 4/9 Gamble

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Scott Parker is strongly rumoured to have been offered the England captain’s armband for tonight’s match vs Holland and this has seen his odds of captaining the Three Lions against France in the Euros slashed by William Hill. Having previously been 7/4 second favourite, he is now 11/8 joint favourite with Steven Gerrard (whose odds have drifted from 10/11).

“Stuart Pearce has reportedly made Scott Parker his captain, but he may not be in charge when the Euros roll around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “A new manager may well have a very different opinion of who should lead the country.”

Carlos Tevez pulled on a Manchester City shirt for the first time since September (albeit for the reserves) and William Hill make him 1/8 to make an appearance for City at any point during the rest of the season (9/2 not to). He is 9/2 to feature at any point during the Bolton game this weekend, although he is 2/1 to fail to feature for the City senior team during the next five matches.

“Tevez looked somewhat distressed (as did the shirt that he had squeezed into) and he would appear to be a long way from match fitness,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Jose Mourinho has been spotted in the UK, sparking rumours that he is set for a return to the Premier League. William Hill make him 4/9 to no longer be in charge of Real Madrid by the first game of next season. He is 5/2 to become the next permanent Manchester United manager, 7/2 for Chelsea, 6/1 Tottenham and 14/1 Arsenal.

When will Tevez next play: 9/2 Bolton; 11/4 Swansea; 10/3 Chelsea; 4/1 Stoke; 6/1 Sunderland; 2/1 none of these fixtures

Carlos Tevez to play for Manchester City again: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Mourinho at Madrid on first game of next season: 13/8 yes; 4/9 no

Mourinho to be next permanent Arsenal manager: 14/1

Mourinho to be next permanent Manchester Utd Manager: 5/2

Mourinho to be next permanent Tottenham manager: 6/1

Mourinho to be next permanent Chelsea manager: 7/2

England captain for Euro 2012 game vs France: 11/8 Steven Gerrard; 11/8 Scott Parker; 4/1 Joe Hart; 10/1 Frank Lampard; 14/1 Gareth Barry; 20/1 Ashley Cole; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand

Giggs 20/1 To Reach Four Figures…liverpool 4/9 For Barren 2012/13…torres Troubles

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Ryan Giggs celebrated his 900th Manchester United appearance by scoring a goal and William Hill offer 20/1 that he reaches 1000 appearances. “Ryan will have to play for at least another three years in order to reach the 1000 games mark although the way that he has been playing recently suggests that the evergreen Giggs could easily do that,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool 4/9 For Barren 2012/13

Liverpool lifted the first silverware of the season on Sunday, when they won the Carling Cup and William Hill are offering 2/1 that they win one trophy next season and 8/1 they win two or more. They are 4/9 to win no silverware in the 2012/13 season. “There have been many people talking about Arsenal’s barren seasons but Liverpool, until Sunday, had suffered a similar streak and winning the League Cup is unlikely to paper over the cracks and they will really have their work cut out in order to follow it up next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool are the 5/2 joint favourites to win the FA Cup with Spurs and are 10/3 to finish in the top four in the Premier League, undoubtedly a top target for Kenny Dalglish. Liverpool are 7/1 to win the League Cup next season.

Torres Troubles

Fernando Torres has been suffering in the goals department since joining Chelsea and he has finally been dropped from the Spain squad. Hills are offering 6/4 that he fails to go to Euro 2012 (1/2 to make it). Torres is 13/8 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (4/9 to still be there).

Torres to make the Spain Euro 2012 squad
Yes – 1/2
No – 6/4

Torres to score at Euro 2012
6/4
Bets are losers if doesn’t make squad or doesn’t get playing minutes.

Torres to leave Chelsea by first game of 2012/13 season:
Yes – 13/8
No – 4/9

Liverpool Season 2012/13 Trophies
0 4/9
Exactly 1 2/1
2 or more 8/1
*Premier League, FA Cup, Carling Cup & ANY Euro Comp

8/13 City/united Forecast…tevez May Be Kicking His Heels For Some While Yet

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Manchester City made relatively light work of Blackburn and William Hill are offering 8/15 that they win the league. Their nearest rivals, Manchester United, are 13/8 to win the league. Hills are offering 8/13 for Manchester City to finish first with their rivals in second.

Carlos Tevez was nowhere to be seen as City lined up to face Blackburn and despite his apology, he may face a thankless task getting his old spot back seeing as Dzeko, Balotelli and Aguero all netted. William Hill are offering odds on when he will next don a City shirt and offer 11/4 that it is when they face Bolton on the 3rd March, 5/2 Swansea, 7/2 Chelsea, 5/1 Stoke and 11/2 Sunderland. He is 3/1 to take no part in any of these games. He is, however, 1/8 to play for City this season (9/2 not to).

“Tevez’s apology has paved the way for a return to action, but he may have to wait a while as there are three strikers ahead of him bang in form,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League outright: 8/15 Manchester City; 13/8 Manchester United; 20/1 Spurs; 200/1 Chelsea; 250/1 Arsenal; 1000/1 Liverpool

Premier League top four finish: 1/300 Manchester City; 1/200 Manchester United; 1/14 Tottenham; 8/11 Chelsea; 13/8 Arsenal; 3/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Newcastle; 100/1 Sunderland; 125/1 BAR

Premier League relegation: 1/3 Wigan (9/4 to stay up); 4/6 Wolves (11/10); 8/11 Blackburn (1/1); 8/11 Bolton (1/1); 5/6 QPR (5/6); 14/1 BAR

Top London club: 1/8 Tottenham; 7/1 Chelsea; 10/1 Arsenal

Winner without Manchester: 1/8 Tottenham; 7/1 Chelsea; 10/1 Arsenal; 40/1 Liverpool

To finish bottom: 13/8 Wigan; 10/3 Wolves; 10/3 Bolton; 4/1 QPR; 4/1 Blackburn

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

“Having Carlos Tevez rot in the reserves helps nobody out and so by apologising, he has now opened the door for a return to the first team and we think he may be pulling on a City shirt sooner rather than later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

After defeat to Napoli, Chelsea have now failed to win in five games and William Hill make under-pressure manager, Andre Villas Boas 3/1 to have left Chelsea by the time the second leg Champions League match comes around. He is also 2/5 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (7/4 to still be there). He is now the 8/13 favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job.

When will Carlos Tevez next play for Manchester City: 7/4 Blackburn (h); 11/8 Bolton (h); 7/2 Swansea (a); 7/1 Chelsea (h); 11/1 Stoke (a); 15/2 none of these games

*bets void if still at Manchester City

Carlos Tevez still at Manchester City come the start of 2012/13 season: 8/11 no; 1/1 yes

AVB to be in his current position on the first day of the 2012/13 Premiership season: Yes 7/4 No 2/5
