You Bet Wenger Could Be Out On His Arsene

Ahead of the expected mass exodus from Arsenal, William Hill make Arsene Wenger 4/1 to have also have left the Gooners by the final game of next season. He is 1/7 still to be in his position by the same time. Arsenal are 4/7 to qualify for the Champions League next season and 5/4 to fail to do so. Arsenal have now gone six barren years without a trophy and Hills offer 2/9 that that run extends next season. They are 750/1 to win the quadruple and 7/1 to win the Premier League. He is 33/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave their club.

“Arsene Wenger has, up until recently, been considered as an ‘unsackable’ manager, but with a number of players poised to leave the club, a poor run of form could see his 15 year relationship crumble,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal Odds:

Wenger to be at Arsenal on the last day of the 2011/12 season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Arsenal to qualify for 2012/13 Champions League: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

Dominant Barca 2/1 To Win At Least Next Three La Liga Titles

Barcelona secured their third successive La Liga title with a draw against Levante and William Hill are offering 2/1 that they continue their impressive streak by winning at least the next three. They are 11/4 to win next year’s title and then relinquish their dominant grip. Barcelona are 1/2 to win La Liga next year, while Real Madrid are 13/8.

“Barcelona have dominated La Liga for the last three years and odds of 2/1 suggest that their dominance will continue for some time yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Real Madrid have been notoriously cut-throat with their managers over recent years although Hills offer 4/6 that Mourinho is still manager of Real on the first day of next season, while his Barca counterpart, Pep Guardiola, is 1/12 to still be at the Nou Camp next season.

William Hill Odds:

Barcelona Consecutive La Liga Wins*: 13/8 Three; 11/4 Four; 9/2 Five; 2/1 Six or more
*Currently 3 consecutive

La Liga 2011/12: 1/2 Barcelona; 13/8 Real Madrid; others on request

Reading / Cardiff Playoff Specials

Reading take on Cardiff on Friday and they are the slight 5/4 favourites to secure a first leg victory against Cardiff who are 9/4 with the draw 11/5. Cardiff and Reading are both priced at 5/6 to qualify for the Wembley final. Two players who are certain to feature heavily in the game are Craig Bellamy and Ian Harte.

Wenger-to-go odds cut:
GUNNERS 7/1 TO BLOW IT AGAIN

Arsenal threw away yet another winning position against Tottenham on Wednesday and Hills are offering 7/1 that Arsenal lead against Bolton this weekend, yet still fail to win.
ARSENE WENGER HAS BEEN CUT FROM 6/1 TO 10/3 NO LONGER TO BE ARSENAL MANAGER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, AND LENGTHENED FROM 1/12 TO 1/5 STILL TO BE THERE. ‘Noone can doubt Wenger’s mangerail achievements but even the most patient of fans and boards eventually demand some silver on the table’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills now make Chelsea favourites to finish above the Gunners this season. ‘Arsenal have thrown away several priceless opportunities to catch Man U, and now run the risk of finishing 3rd as Chelsea’s recovery gathers pace and the Gunners’ reputation for being unable to hold on to a lead grows’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TIE-T AT THE TOP?

With Manchester United only managing a draw against Newcastle on Tuesday, Chelsea closed to within six points – level with Arsenal. William Hill think that with United still to play their two big rivals, there is an outside chance that there could be a tie at the top come the final day of the season. Hills offer 12/1 that any two sides finish top with the same amount of points and 100/1 that all three do.

**How Many Sides Will Top The Table On The Last Day Of The Season: 1/50 Winner on points; 12/1 Two sides level on points; 100/1 Three level on points

WILLIAM HILL…..TORRES NOW 3/1 TO FAIL TO SCORE THIS SEASON

Consigned to a bit part against Birmingham, Fernando Torres once again failed to find the net against Birmingham and William Hill have cut his odds from 7/2 to 3/1 to fail to score before the end of the season. He is 8/13 to bag his first goal against West Ham on Saturday.

“Nobody would have envisioned such a poor return from Torres and every game that goes by merely increases the chance of him failing to score before the end of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills offer 12/1 that two sides finish top with the same amount of points and 100/1 that three do.

“Manchester United and Arsenal have dropped points recently allowing Chelsea to get back into the title race,” said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly, “although a three way tie does not look very likely.”

Arsenal threw away yet another winning position against Tottenham on Wednesday and Hills are offering 7/1 that Arsenal lead against Bolton and fail to win.

33/1 Fergie To See Red Against Old Enemy

Alex Ferguson has been charged by the FA could be forced to watch his side from the stands if he is found guilty. The fiery Scot already has a suspended ban hanging over him and bookmakers, William Hill, are offering 6/1 that he gets another ban this season (should he receive a ban pertaining to his current FA charge). He is 33/1 to see red against Liverpool and get sent to the stands.

“Liverpool have really gone backwards since Kenny Dalglish left in 1991 and Fergie will be looking to flex his muscles against his old enemy some 20 years later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He just has to make sure that he does not flex too hard.”

Should United win the Premier League this season, for which they are 8/13, Fergie could well call it a day, having broken Liverpool’s League record and Hills offer 11/2 that he is not in charge of The Reds at the start of the 2011/2012 season. He is 3/1 to not be in charge of United come the start of the 2012/2013 season.

William Hill Alex Ferguson Prices:

6/1 To receive another ban this season (not including the current charge he is facing)
33/1 To be sent to the stands against Liverpool

Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2012/13 season: 2/9 Yes; 3/1 No
