Michael’s G-owen Nowhere…125/1 For 2011/12 Golden Boot

Following the news that Michael Owen has put pen to paper on a new one year deal at Manchester United, William Hill are offering 7/4 that he scores less than two Premier League goals and 6/4 that he bags four or more. He is 125/1 to get next season’s golden boot and 20/1 to not play a single minute of Premier League football. He is 5/2 to start one or no Premier League games next season, while he is 9/4 to start six or more.

“In one of the more surprising football stories of the last few days, Owen has signed for another year at United, but Fergie obviously has a role for him and it will be interesting to see how he is utilised by United,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Michael Owen is 7/1 to make an appearance for England in a Euro 2012 Qualifier or Finals match.

Owen’s signature may be the clearest indication yet that Dimitar Berbatov will be heading for the exit and William Hill are now offering odds on where the mercurial Bulgarian will be plying his trade on the first game of next season. He is 11/4 to still be at Manchester United and 7/2 to be playing in the Bundesliga. He is 4/1 to be at Newcastle next season and the same price to be playing in Serie A. He is 25/1 to make the short trip to Eastlands to join United’s arch rivals.

Michael Owen Premier League Starts:
0-1 5/2
2-3 2/1
4-5 11/4
6 + 9/4

4 or more 6/4

125/1 Michael Owen to win the golden boot
20/1 Not to play a single minute of Premier League football for Manchester United
7/1 Play in an England Euro 2012 Qualifier or Finals match

Oasis Factor Kicks In For Cup Final

************************************WILLIAM HILL FA CUP FINAL SPECIALS***************************

Hills out to ‘get’ City, but:
8/13 MANCHESTER SATURDAY GLORY DOUBLE – UNITED TO CLINCH TITLE, CITY TO LIFT FA CUP

WILLIAM HILL offer 8/13 that Saturday will be a double glory day for Manchester football – with United clinching the Premier League title, followed by City lifting the FA Cup. ‘We’re offering 8/13 that the two Manchester clubs wrap up their respective trophy targets on Saturday’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills say they are keen to oppose Man City winning in 90m. ‘The perceived wisdom appears to be that Man City have the class to steamroller Stoke within 90 minutes – but we beg to differ, and will be looking to maintain a very competitive price – currently 10/11- about City doing that – and are happy to back our opinion to the tune of at least one million pounds’ added Sharpe.
Despite competition from Premier League matches, William Hill expect the FA Cup Final to produce the biggest betting turnover of any domestic match this season: ‘We anticipate a betting turnover of around £15m on the Cup Final – which may well be helped by the Premier League games encouraging punters to have accumulator bets. But the biggest club match of the season in turnover terms is odds-on to be the forthcoming Champions League Final’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHEN WILL TEVEZ BE SUBBED? (assuming he starts – stakes refunded if not).

00.01 – 30.00 25
30.01 – Half Time 16
Start of 2nd Half – 60.00 11/4
