Beckham 5/1 To Beat Shilton Record

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

BECKS NOW 5/1 TO BEAT SHILTS’ RECORD

AFTER failing to play any part in the game against Ukraine, David Beckham is an odds on shot to play some part in the Belarus match with William Hill – but they have legnthened their odds for him to pass Peter Shilton’s record caps tally of 125 from 7/2 to 5/1.
‘Obviously Becks has a limited number of opportunities to catch and pass the record and each missed game makes it tougher for him to do so as it is almost impossible to envisage him still being involved after the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, we think he may have at least a minor role to play at home against Belarus if only to please the Wembley crowd with a late cameo appearance’

WILLIAM HILL:

England 1/8 Draw 5/1 Belarus 14/1

Beckham to break Shilton’s record 5/1

Beckham to make World Cup squad 8/11 yes, Evs no

Beckham to play any part against Belarus 2/5 yes, 7/4 no

Rio Ferdinand to start England’s first game of World Cup finals – 1/6 yes; 7/2 no.

How Much Will F A Dare Fine Sir Alex ? World Cup Qualifier Specials

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

WILL FERGIE BE FEELING FINED AFTER FA REF RULING?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how much Sir Alex Ferguson will be fined for his comments about referee Alan Wiley’s (lack of) fitness, and offer 4/9 that it will be under £15,000; 9/4 from £15,000- £25,000; and 6/1 over £25,000.

HILLS also offer 5/2 that Sir Alex will receive a touchline ban for his comments about Wiley’s fitness levels, but 2/7 that he will not. ‘We don’t think a touchline ban would serve much purpose in this instance, but even a hefty a fine will hardly leave him on the bread-line – however, the level of fine may at least indicate how scared the FA is of Sir Alex ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
