**************************WHO GETS ENGLAND ARMBAND WHEN GERRARD LEAVES THE PITCH?***************************************************************

WITH RIO Ferdinand sidelined through injury, Steven Gerrard is expected to start as England captain against Egypt – but William Hill are betting on who will take the armband if and when Gerrard leaves the pitch, and make Frank Lampard 15/8 favourite ahead of Gareth Barry at 2/1 and Wayne Rooney 5/2, with John Terry 50/1 outsider.

**HILLS :If Gerrard is substituted, who will first take the captain’s armband?

ENGLAND are 4/11 favourites with Hills to beat Egypt on Wednesday. The African champions are 7/1, with the draw an 11/4 chance.
WAYNE ROONEY is 11/4 with Hills to score with a header for England on Wednesday – he is 11/10 to fail to score; 11/8 to score one goal; 5/1 two; 12/1 three or more.
Hills offer 10/1 that there will be no goals scored during the game; 7/2 just one; 12/5 two; 14/5 three; 5/1 four; 9/1 five; 12/1 six or more.
Hills make England 11/8 to score in both halves; 21/20 to lead at both half and full time; 13/20 England to keep a clean sheet; 5/6 to win the game to nil.

***WITH 100 DAYS TO THE WORLD CUP KICK OFF, WILLIAM HILL ARE OFFERING 100/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL BEAT GERMANY IN THE WORLD CUP FINAL WITH WAYNE ROONEY SCORING THEIR LAST GOAL.

Pompey Drop Payout

********POMPEY DROP PAY OUT*******

BOOKMAKERS William Hill are paying out on Portsmouth being relegated from the Premiership. ‘Pompey are poised to go into administration on Friday, and if they do so they will be a massive odds-on shot to be relegated; as it is, they are currently 1/20 for the drop, having opened the season at 7/1 to go down, and it seems like delaying the inevitable not to pay out now. Punters will benefit to the tune of a five figure payout, which they would almost certainly have received in any case a few weeks down the line’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With injury doubts over Rio:
WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?

WITH RIO FERDINAND’S season-long injury problems showing no signs of ending, William Hill have made him 1/6 favourite to start England’s opening World Cup game as skipper. ‘Given his persistent problems it is a brave punter who would risk backing Rio to start the first World Cup game as captain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And for all that he has strongly suggested Rio will be his pick, Fabio has yet to confirm it officially’

Hills…..Who Will Captain England v USA ?
Ferdinand 1/6, Gerrard 9/2, Rooney 12/1, Lampard 14/1, Beckham 25/1, Terry 20/1, Barry 33/1, James 50/1, A Cole 50/1.

10/1 John Terry to resign as England skipper:
TERRY ODDS ON TO RETAIN ENGLAND CAPTAINCY

DESPITE yet another high profile tabloid scandal enveloping the England football team captain, bookmakers William Hill believe John Terry will still be skipper of his country when the 2010 World Cup kicks off – and make him a 4/11 chance to start the opening game against USA wearing the captain’s armband. Hills offer 10/1 that Terry will resign the captaincy before Chelsea kick off their forthcoming midweek game against Hull.
‘Even the most accident-prone politician might find it difficult to survive the sort of stories Terry has been involved in recently, but football seems to have a moral code all of its own and the chances are that Terry will avoid being stripped of the captaincy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?…..4/11 Terry; 11/4 Gerrard; 16/1 David Beckham; Rio Ferdinand; Wayne Rooney.(Others on request)
HILLS OFFER 1/3 THAT TERRY WILL STILL BE A CHELSE PLAYER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 9/4 THAT HE WILL NOT.

WIIAM HILL have opened a book on which players will start in England’s opening World Cup game, against USA, and make David James 5/4 favourite to start between the sticks, while up front Emile Hesky at 4/6 is rated more likely than in-form Jermain Defoe at 7/4, to start the game. ‘Now the guessing games can begin in earnest – who does Fabio really rate as his best players in certain positions – all will be revealed with the countdown to the action now underway, and we expect a lively betting market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WITH DAVID BECKHAM very prominent at the World Cup draw, William Hill offering odds of 5/1 that he will break Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps.’If he is to have the slightest chance of overtaking Shilts, Beckham needs to get to win one or two of the great keeper during the World Cup or he’ll have too much to do and too little time left to do it in’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS MAKE BECKHAM 13/8 TO START ONE OR MORE WORLD CUP GAMES, 4/9 NOT TO.
