TOTTENHAM HAVE THE SPURS TO PUSH MANCHESTER ALL THE WAY

A win for Manchester City after a tough couple of games has seen William Hill cut their odds of winning the league to 8/13. Spurs sneaked a victory at home to West Brom and they are 10/1 third favourites to win the League. Sunderland continued their fine form under Martin O’Neill and Hills make them 6/4 to finish higher than Newcastle in the league.

Taking both Manchester sides out of the equation, Spurs are odds-on at 8/11 to win the league.

“Spurs played well against West Brom, but struggled to find the breakthrough,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They are grinding out results like this though and they are showing that they have the resilience to push the Manchester sides all the way.”

City once again avoided defeat at home and have not lost at the Etihad since losing to Everton on 20th December 2010 and Hills make them odds on, at 10/11 to avoid defeat in their next five games, although they are 10/3 to lose to Spurs on the 22nd January.

Sergio Aguero Bagged himself a goal and edged closer to Robin van Persie in the race to win the golden boot. He is the 5/2 second favourite behind the Dutchman who is miles ahead at 5/4.

Wigan were thumped at home by Sunderland and they are 2/1 favourites to finish bottom of the Premier League and 4/9 favourites to get relegated at the end of the season.

Rooney Odds-on To See Fergie Off

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

Wayne Rooney was left out of the Manchester United side against Blackburn after reportedly breaking a curfew on Boxing Day, but William Hill think that Rooney will get his place in the starting line-up back, offering 1/5 that he starts the next game against Newcastle. This time last year, relations between Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson were strained as Rooney requested a transfer and Hills offer 8/1 that he asks for another transfer at any point during the January window. Hills think that Rooney will actually see off Ferguson and go 1/2 that he is at United longer than Fergie (6/4 he is not).

Should he leave United, Hills make Manchester City the favourites to sign him at 5/1 with Real Madrid 8/1 and Chelsea and Barcelona at 10/1.

“Despite the sometime volatile relationship between Ferguson and Rooney, we think this particular incident is a mere blip in what we expect to be a long United career for Wayne,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Rooney to start vs Newcastle: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no

Rooney to score against Newcastle: 10/11 anytime; 7/2 first; 4/1 two or more; 20/1 hat-trick

Rooney to be sent off vs Newcastle: 33/1

Will Rooney request a transfer in the January window: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

Who will be at Manchester United longer: 1/2 Rooney; 6/4 Ferguson

When will Rooney leave Manchester United: 7/1 2012; 11/2 2013; 9/4 2014; 15/8 2015; 12/1 2016; 5/2 2017 or later

Wayne Rooney next club: 5/1 Manchester City; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Barcelona; 10/1 Chelsea

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

PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS 26TH/27TH DEC –

11/2 Big 6 to batter bookies:
20/1 BANK HOLIDAY GOALS BONANZA

WITH the top six Premier League clubs all facing apparently straightforward matches on December 26/27, William Hill have slashed their usual odds for a hat trick to be scored in a round of Prem matches from 4/1 to 7/4 – the shortest odds they have ever quoted, and have cut their odds for these matches to beat the current record total of 43 goals in a single round of games, from 33/1 to 20/1.
‘With City, United, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool all involved in eminently winnable matches we are anticipating that the record of 43 goals will be vulnerable and that there is much more chance of a hat trick being scored than usual’ said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills are also currently offering 8/11 that Man City will set a new record total of 103 or more Premier League goals this season, Evens that they do not.
WILLIAM HIL OFFER 11/2 THAT THE BIG 6 – ARSENAL, CHELSEA, LIVERPOOL, MAN C, MAN U, SPURS ALL WIN THEIR GAMES OVER DEC 26/27 – ‘We anticipate a multitude of punters looking to reduce their festive bills by cashing in on what looks like a simple six-timer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But we’re optimistic that at least one of them will fail to take three points’
The current record goals total for a single player in a Premier League season is 34, shared by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer – and Hills offer 10/1 that it will be broken this season. ‘That record was set in a 42 game season but with several strikers in blistering form this term it is looking increasingly vulnerable’ said Sharpe.

All Chelsea Eyes Turn To Being Best Of The Rest

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

Andre Villas Boas insinuated that nothing less than a win would see Chelsea out of the running for the title and William Hill seem to agree offering 16/1 that Chelsea win the title behind Manchester City (8/13) and Manchester United (2/1). Villas-Boas is odds-on, however, at 1/3 to still be in charge of Chelsea for the first game of next season (9/4 not to be). Chelsea are in pole position to finish top of the sides excluding both Manchesters City and United at 11/8, just ahead of Tottenham at 13/8.

“If his post match talk were to be believed, Villas-Boas has already conceded defeat in his hunt for a Premier League title, but they still have a lot to play for and are in pole position to be the best of the rest,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres started the game once again on the bench and William Hill offer 11/2 that he leaves the club in January and 9/4 that he leaves in the summer. While Torres looked on, both Adebayor and Sturridge continued their rich vein of scoring form and they are 16/1 and 18/1 respectively to win the golden boot this year.

There’s Only One Kean-go

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

Bolton Wanderers secured a vital victory which leaves Blackburn rooted to the bottom of the Premier League at Christmas. Traditionally that means they will get relegated and William Hill agree, offering 4/9 that they go down. Bolton are 5/6 with Hills also offering Wigan at 8/15 and Wolves 7/4. Steve Kean is now under immeasurable pressure and Hills make him 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job while Owen Coyle eased some of the pressure on him and he is 10/3 to be the next to go.

Hills are now offering odds on when Kean will actually depart Blackburn and make him 5/4 to have gone before Boxing Day and 9/1 to leave in the immediate aftermath of the Liverpool game that day (before the 31st). He is 8/13 to still be in charge when Blackburn take on Stoke on the 2nd of January.

“Steve Kean appears to be on borrowed time and there is only so long that the Venkys family can turn a deaf ear of the protestations of the Rovers fans,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills Premier League Relegation: 4/9 Blackburn; 8/15 Wigan; 5/6 Bolton; 7/4 Wolves; 5/2 Swansea; 7/2 QPR; 5/1 Norwich; 6/1 Sunderland; 11/1 BAR

Hills To Stay Up: 13/8 Blackburn; 11/8 Wigan; 5/6 Bolton; 2/5 Wolves; 2/7 Swansea; 1/6 QPR; 1/9 BAR

To Finish Bottom: 9/4 Wigan; 9/4 Blackburn; 9/2 Bolton; 9/1 Wolves; 12/1 QPR; 12/1 Swansea; 16/1 BAR

Next Premier League Manager to go: 1/4 Steve Kean; 10/3 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 11/1 Mick McCarthy; 16/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 Martin Jol; 25/1 BAR

To go first: 1/4 Kean; 11/4 Coyle

When will Kean leave Blackburn: 5/4 before December 26th; 9/1 After Liverpool (26th) and before Utd (31st); 12/1 After Manchester United (31st) and before Stoke (2nd Jan); 8/13 Still in charge for Stoke game (2nd)

Gone by New Year (Kean/Coyle): 8/13 none; 6/5 one; 20/1 both

16/1 United Back In Champions League ?

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

UNITED BACK IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN

A THREAT by FIFA which could see all Swiss clubs banned from all international football has seen William Hill offering odds of 16/1 that Manchester United will be reinstated in the Champions League.
‘FIFA are trying to kill off FC Sion’s long running legal case against them and has reportedly threatened to ban all Swiss teams from international competition if it isn;t resolved by January – which could just open the door for United, who finished behind FC Basel to be reinstated’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
United are currently 11/2 second favourites for the Europa League.

Punters And Villas-boas Back Torres To Stay

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

William Hill punters seem to agree with Andre Villas-Boas’ claims that Fernando Torres will be staying put for the time being, with considerable bets having been staked on him still being at Chelsea on the 1st February. Initially offered at 4/11, the weight of money coupled with Villas-Boas’ strong stance on Torres’ future, has seen this price slashed to 1/5. The majority of the money has come from Northern Ireland and Oxfordshire.

“Torres has endured a difficult first year at Chelsea but it appears that punters’ support matches that of his manager and it seems he will be given time to turn things around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Malaga are 7/1 to be the club that Torres lines up for after the transfer window closes on and Manchester United are 9/1.

Where will Fernando Torres be on the 1st February 2012: 1/5 Chelsea; 7/1 Malaga; 9/1 Manchester United; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 11/1 AC Milan; 14/1 PSG; 14/1 Inter Milan; 14/1 Manchester City; 16/1 Barcelona; 16/1 Liverpool; 16/1 Juventus; 20/1 Real Madrid; 25/1 Arsenal

11/4 Rooney Not To Start 3rd Game Anyway Plus Manc Mayhem

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

WHAT PRICE ROONEY TO MISS 3RD GAME ANYWAY?

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 that Wayne Rooney will NOT start in England’s 3rd Euro 2012 Group game against Ukraine. ‘After the whole desperate campaign to get the ban reduced it would be ironic if he were to be injured ,not selected for the game, or brought on as a late sub’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Rooney 1/ 4 to start the game.

WILL IT BE MANC MAYHEM FOR EUROPA PUNTERS?

WILLIAM HILL make Manchester City 6/5 favourites to go furthest of the British clubs left in the Europa League, but fear punters may find it difficult to make their minds up about how committed the two ‘big boys’ eliminated from Champions League may find it to commit to a serious Europa challenge. ‘City would find it difficult to field a poor side given the depth of their squad, but Fergie has yet to seem enthused by the idea of a tilt at the Europa League, and for sure both clubs will regard the Premier League as their main priority’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘We enjoyed an excellent night on Wednesday thanks to United’s result but I think on balance we may have preferred to take a short term hit for the long term gain of having four Prem teams in what is clearly the major competition, the Champions League. And the jury is out over whether having City and United playing on Sundays rather than Saturdays in the League will be a positive for us’

Hills…….Furthest progressing British team in the Europa league:

Man City 6/5
Man Utd 6/4
Stoke 6/1
Fulham 8/1
Tottenham 14/1
Celtic 50/1
Birmingham 50/1

Dead heat rules apply.
Win Only.

FINAL STRAW FOR FERGIE?

FOLLOWING their embarrassing exit from the Champions League, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is 5/2 with William Hill no longer to be United boss on the first day of next season (2/7 still to be in place). ‘Sir Alex may not fancy the idea of having to build yet another team all over again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make United 2/5 to win NO major trophy this season.

WILLIAM HILL now make Manchester United Evens to go further than City, who are 8/11 favourites to outdo United, in the Europa League for which Hills have made City 6/1 favourites and also offer 7/1 Man U; 10 At Madrid; 11 Valencia; 14 Schalke; At Bilbao; Porto; 18 Stoke; 20 Ajax; PSV; PSG
HILLS OFFER 20/1 ALL MANCHESTER EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL.
