Rdm To Be Given A Chelsea Chance But Gaurdiola Could Be In To Pep Things Up

It has been widely suggested that Roberto Di Matteo will be given the Chelsea job after his incredible work in the second half of the season. William Hill offer 11/10 that the Italian is no longer boss on the first day of the 2013/14 season.

“Di Matteo came in last season and performed admirably and it would be somewhat of an injustice if he was not given a fair crack of the whip,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Abramovich’s axe, however, is never far from the necks of his managers and if RDM slips up in the shadow of Guardiola, wholesale changes could be afoot.”

As Pep Guardiola stepped down at Barcelona, Roman Abramovich’s eyes must have lit up, but with the Spaniard claiming that he wanted a year away from the game, the Chelsea tycoon could not bag his man. William Hill are, however, offering 6/1 that by the time the 2013/14 season rolls round, the former Barca boss is sat at the helm at Stamford Bridge.

Roberto Di Matteo to be manager at the start of the 2013/14 season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

6/1 Pep Guardiola to be Chesea manager at the start of the 2013/14 season

*both bets only count should Roberto Di Matteo be named as next permanent Chelsea manager

Spanish Referee On Drift For Final After Horror Show

Carlos Velasco Carballo will have been riding high when told he would be officiating the opening game of the Euros but William Hill think he will have plummeted to unfathomable depths following the dubious red card he handed out and the potential penalty he turned down. He has drifted from 12/1 to 16/1 to officiate the final.

“After 10 minutes, the Spaniard was doing well, allowing the play to flow, but then suddenly, he had a change of heart and decided that he was going to start showing cards for the most innocuous of challenges,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “His performance will not go down well with the UEFA bigwigs.”

You Bet Arsenal’s Bad Luck Is Behind Them…4/7 To Outscore Chelsea On Thursday

Fernando Torres scored and then saw red against Swansea on Saturday and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Torres bags a goal against Valencia, while he is 25/1 to get sent off. Should Torres start the match, he is 4/6 to fail to finish and is 11/10 to play all 90 minutes. Robin van Persie found his shooting boots at the weekend, bagging a brace and Hills go 2/1 that he scores more goals than Torres on Wednesday (the Spaniard is 10/3 to outscore van Persie) and they are 4/5 to score the same amount of goals.

“Arsenal have finally secured back to back wins this season and will be looking to build on their mini revival by putting in an accomplished performance against Olympiacos,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal are 1/3 to defeat Olimpiacos and their success in that match is considered enough of a certainty for Hills to offer 4/7 that Wenger’s men score more than Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Match Bets:
1/3 Arsenal; 8/1 Olympiacos; 4/1 Draw
2/1 Valencia; 7/5 Chelsea; 11/5 Draw

Torres Red Card: 25/1

If Torres Starts Will He Finish: 11/10 Yes; 4/6 No

Who Will Score More Goals Chelsea Or Arsenal: 4/7 Arsenal; 3/1 Chelsea; 16/5 Draw

Torres vs. RVP (most goals) on Wednesday: 10/3 Torres; 2/1 Robin van Persie; 4/5 Draw
