Is The Fa Cup On The Way To London?

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

MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL THROWS TOURNAMENT WIDE OPEN

The first FA Cup draw since William Hill became an official supporter and the official betting partner of The FA Cup threw up a couple of tasty looking ties. The highest profile of which would seem to be the tie between Liverpool and Manchester United. Hills make Liverpool 11/8 the slight favourites to make it into the hat for the fifth round. United got an away win against Manchester City and they are 13/8 to win at Anfield. Liverpool are 8/11 to qualify with United Evens. It is 4/1 for the winner of this tie to win the trophy.

The other big tie of the round will see Sunderland taking on Middlesbrough in an all North East tie and Hills make Sunderland the favourites at 4/6 and 2/5 to qualify.

Following their victory against Portsmouth, Chelsea are the 4/1 favourites to win the Cup, with Tottenham 9/2 second favourites.

With a number of London teams still in the hat, Hills are offering 5/1 that two sides from the capital fight it out in the final. It is 66/1 for an all Merseyside final and 150/1 for an all North-East final.

“With Liverpool facing Manchester United, you would think that the draw is ideally suited for the London sides to stamp their authority on the competition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With three Premier League teams (Bolton, QPR and Wolves) having to face third round replays, Hills offer even money that all three get through (8/11 that at least one of those teams are knocked out). Hills go 100/1 that all three Premier League sides facing replays are knocked out.

Dave Jones, speaking exclusively to William Hill, said “The Liverpool/Manchester United fourth round draw will be one of the biggest games in the competition’s history. It will be a tough away game for United, but as they proved today when they beat Manchester City, they have the quality to go to Anfield and get a result. It will however, be very tough for them as Liverpool have been resurgent under Kenny Dalglish.”

Match Odds:

4/6 Sunderland; 5/2 Draw; 16/5 Middlesbrough
1/2 Hull; 13/5 Draw; 9/2 Crawley
10/11 West Brom; 23/10 Draw; 12/5 Norwich
8/11 Blackpool; 5/2 Draw; 14/5 Sheffield Wednesday

2/1 Derby; 11/5 Draw; 11/10 Stoke
1/1 Everton; 11/5 Draw; 11/5 Fulham

WILLIAM HIL offer 33/1 that any keeper will score in any of the this weekend’s (Sat,Sun,Mon) FA Cup games.

Thierry 3/1 to come on and score, but:
WILL IT BE HENRY WHO LEEDS FROM THE FRONT?

WITH Thierry Henry likely to return to the Arsenal team for their FA Cup match against Leeds on Monday, William Hill offer 1/ 2 that he will extend his amazing run of scoring against Leeds in the last five games he has played against them, if he starts – and 3/1 that he is on target coming on as sub, should he start on the bench. ‘Henry has a prolific scoring record against Leeds and it would appear to be written in the stars that he should score on his return to the club’ said ill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL believe Thierry Henry has the same chance of scoring NO goals during his two month spell at Arsenal as he has of scoring three or more in his time there, quoting 2/1 about each eventuality – but they make him an 8/1 chance to strike a blow for the Gunners against their deadly rivals Sputrs, by netting against them. ‘Many punters will be convinced there is an inevitability about Henry returning to haunt Spurs’ added Sharpe.

HENRY TO SCORE V LEEDS – 1/ 2 (if starting); 3/1 if coming on as substitute. 9/4 to score 1st goal; 9/4 last goal; 9/4 two or more; 10/1 hat trick.

HENRY ARSENAL GOALS (1ST team competitive games)
NONE 2/1
ONE 11/4
TWO 3/1
THREE OR MORE 2/1
*HILLS OFFER 8/1 THAT THIERRY HENRY WILL SCORE AGAINST SPURS DURING HIS 2 MONTH LOAN SPELL (All in, play or not).

NEIL WARNOCK has been cut from 11/2 to 5/2 second favourite by William Hill to be the next Premier League boss to leave his club. ‘His outbursts are becoming ever more outspoken ,Rangers are slipping into relegation trouble, and we’ve started to see cash for him to be the next to go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills offer 8/11 that Warnock will still be Rangers’ boss on the first day of next season,Evens not.

The Million Man: Barton’s Tweet Is Looking Sweet

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

Joey Barton breached the million follower mark and William Hill are offering 10/1 that he manages to overtake the two kings of English football tweeting, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand, by the end of the season. He is 5/2 to overtake one of them and 1/3 to fail to overtake either of them. Given his propensity to controversial tweeting, Hills are offering 11/4 that he is banned from tweeting by QPR before the end of the season.

“Joey’s twitter feed, which spans from philosophy, through football banter and so-called ‘TOWIE bashing’, is proving incredibly popular and its diversity could help in making it the number one Twitter footy feed by the end of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He just has to make sure that he is not too controversial otherwise his club may force him to quit.”

Banned from tweeting by the end of the season by QPR: 11/4 yes; 1/4 no

To overtake Rio Ferdinand or Wayne Rooney in Twitter followers by the end of the season: 1/3 neither; 5/2 one; 10/1 both

Tweeting Twit Barton Barking Up Wrong Tree

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

Joey Barton has come out and stated that he thinks it is only a matter of time before a team sues a match official although William Hill are on the side of the officials, offering 16/1 that a Premier League club sues a referee in the next 5 years (1/100 that they don’t).

“Joey Barton is still angry at what he sees as an unjustified red cad against Norwich and quite possibly has not given any thought to the logic of his argument,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Any attempt by a club to sue an official would contravene the ‘RESPECT’ campaign and would surely result in ramifications for that particular club.”

Will any Premier League club sue a match official in the next five years: 16/1 yes; 1/100 no

YOU BET ZAMORA WILL STAY

WILLIAM HILL make Bobby Zamora an 8/11 chance to stay with Fulham past the January transfer window, but Even money to leave before it closes. ‘The rumours have suggested all is not sweetness and light between Zamora and Jol -maybe that goal will change things’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hills believe the defeat may increase Arsene Wenger’s troubles and have cut their odds for him no longer to be manager on the first day of next season from 7/2 to 11/4 – although he is a 1/ 4 chance still to be Gunners’ gaffer then.

HILLS- TOP 4 FINISH- 4/11 Spurs; 8/13 Chelsea; 11/8 Arsenal; 15/8 Liverpool

TITLE ODDS- 4/6 cITY; 6/4 United; 11 Spurs; 40 Chelsea ;50 Arsenal; 100 Liverpool

WHEN WILL BIRTHDAY BOY FERGIE QUIT?

ALTHOUGH his 70th birthday was ruined by United’s shock defeat by Blackburn, Sir Alex Ferguson is just 3/1 still to be in charge at Old Trafford in 2015 – and 13/8 to depart the job in 2012. ‘Sir Alex may have considered his future after the Blackburn game but he’ll no doubt be determined to make amends for one of the worst results of his time as United boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Following the game Hills make Man C 8/13 Prem title favourites with United now 7/4.
STEVE KEAN IS NOW EVENS WITH WILLIAM HILL STILL TO BE BLACKBURN BOSS ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 8/11 TO BE GONE BY THEN. ‘Steve Kean continues to confound his critics – and punters convinced he’d be gone by now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill- when will Sir Alex cease to be United boss?

2012 13/8
2013 5/2
