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.

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!

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

Coyle Cut For Chop After Dire Home Defeat!

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

Following defeat in the vital relegation six pointer against Wigan, Bolton Wanderers are 8/11 to be relegated this season. Wigan remain hot favourites to go down at 1/4 with Blackburn 4/7 despite their victory over QPR, who are 5/4 to go down.

“It is becoming incredibly condensed at the bottom of the table and a little run could certainly see one of the sides move up the table and it could take a manager getting the sack to do this,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Of the bottom five clubs in the Premier League, only one of them have changed their manager and we could well see at least one of them go soon.”

Owen Coyle has also been cut from 10/1 to 6/1 to be the next manager to leave his job – a market that is headed by potential next England manager, Harry Redknapp at 5/4. Chelsea lost away to Everton and Andre Villas-Boas is 5/1 to be the next manager to go.

William Hill Odds:

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 4/7 Blackburn; 8/11 Bolton; 10/11 Wolves; 5/4 QPR; 9/1 West Brom; 12/1 BAR

Next Premier League Manager to go: 5/1 Harry Redknapp; 5/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 11/2 Mick McCarthy; 11/2 Steve Kean; 6/1Owen Coyle; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No manager to go; 14/1 BAR

Swansea Continue To Amaze And Arsene Could Be On His Way!

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

Swansea City pulled off a stunning scalp in the form of Arsenal as they moved back into the top half of the table and William Hill are offering 4/1 that they manage to finish in the top 10 this season. Brendan Rodgers has performed miracles in South Wales and he is 7/1 to win the manager of the year award.

“Swansea continue to confound their detractors who were predicting a tricky time for them this season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They hardly spent any money when they came up yet are still managing to mix it with the big boys in the top half of the table.”

Arsenal’s slim hopes of winning the league suffered another dent and they are 80/1 with Hill’s to win the league and their odds to finish in the top four are also on the drift, with Hills making them 7/4 to finish in the Champions League spots. On a positive note for Arsenal Robin Van Persie continued his fine form by netting Arsenal’s first and he is Even money to finish with golden boot this season. The Gooners are 1/12 to finish in the top 6.

Arsene Wenger 5/2 to no longer be manager of Arsenal come the star of next season and with Robin van Persie’s contract expiring at the end of the 2013 season, Hills make him 7/4 to no longer be an Arsenal player on the first day of next season.

Arsenal are in a bit of a rut this season and they could do with bringing in a few new faces and Hills offer 12/1 that Mr Wenger signs at least three new players in this January’s transfer window. Although, they are odds on, at 8/11, to sign no new faces.

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.

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

Frank Lampard salvaged a victory for Chelsea and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites to win the Premier League without the two Manchester sides. The three points against Wolves has eased some of the pressure on manager, Andre Villas-Boas and Hills make him odds on, at 8/13, to still be at Chelsea on the first day of next season. While AVB was met with cheers, two of his counterparts, Steve Kean and Alex McLeish, were met with jeers and Hills make them 8/13 (Kean) and Even money (McLeish) to have left their positions before the start of the 2012/13 season. Kean is 10/11 favourite to be the second Premier League manager to leave his job.

“Just as Andre Villas-Boas looks doomed, he manages to claw his way back from the brink and our odds hint that he may well be there come next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Unfortunately, we may not be able to say the same about Steve Kean and Alex McLeish.”

Relegation: 8/15 Bolton; 4/7 Wigan; 8/13 Blackburn; 7/4 Wolves; 9/4 QPR; 3/1 Swansea; 11/2 Norwich; 14/1 BAR

To stay up: 11/8 Bolton; 5/4 Wigan; 6/5 Blackburn; 2/5 Wolves; 1/3 QPR; 2/9 Swansea; 1/10 BAR

Premier League to finish bottom: 2/1 Bolton; 5/2 Wigan; 11/4 Blackburn; 9/1 Wolves; 10/1 QPR; 14/1 Swansea; 20/1 BAR

Winner without Manchester: 13/8 Tottenham; 9/4 Chelsea; 5/2 Arsenal; 6/1 Liverpool; 125/1 Everton; 125/1 Newcastle

Steve Kean still at Blackburn on first day of next season: 6/5 yes; 8/13 No

Alex McLeish to still be at Aston Villa on the first day of next season: 8/11 yes; Evens no
