Brit Backers Denied Once Again As Last Minute Pen Secures Draw

A last minute Valencia penalty denied Brit backers a Champions League double tonight. William Hill offer 11/8 that Manchester United are the furthest progressing British side and depite their draw, Chelsea are 9/4 second favourites.

“English punters will have been disappointed by the collective capitulation of both Manchester City and United, and Chelsea’s last minute concession will have done little to lighten the mood ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/1 that there is an all British final in this year’s Champions League.

All of the pre game talk before the Chelsea game in Valencia revolved around Frank Lampard and he will have done no damage to his (purported) ‘diminishing’ career by bagging Chelsea’s only goal at the Estadio Mestalla. Hills go 3/1 about him starting England’s game against Montenegro next month.

Furthest progressing Brit side: 11/8 Man Utd; 9/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Man City; 6/1 Arsenal

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

William Hill offer 7/4 that Steven Gerrard will start England’s next Euro qualifier against Montenegro in October – and offer 6/5 that if he starts he will finish the game. ‘Gerrard is unlikely to have played a great deal of football before that game, so Capello may decide not to risk starting him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL GERARD FINISH THE GAME IF HE STARTS?….6/5 YES; 8/13 NO

When Will Fab’s Eye For Goal Run Out Of Gas?

Real Madrid and Barcelona both dropped points on Wednesday night and William Hill are offering 1/3 that the pair both fail to win during the same round of matches again this season. Amidst the misery for both sides, Cesc Fabregas scored the fourth goal in his fourth league match since his move to Barca and Hills are offering 9/2 that his run continues for at least another three games. His run is 8/15, however, to come to an end this weekend. Hills go 7/1 that Fabregas scores over 25 goals this season and 4/1 that he scores between 21 and 25.

“Fabregas has settled well at Barcelona and his continued good form could see him extend his current goalscoring record,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Consecutive Fabregas Goals: 8/15 four (current run); 5/2 five games; 11/2 six games; 9/2 seven or more games
Must start vs Atletico or bets void

Arsene In Trouble…8/1 To Be Next To Go, 9/4 To Go This Season

Arsenal’s humbling at the hands of Blackburn have seen William Hill shorten his odds of NOT being at Arsenal on the last day of the season to 9/4. He is 1/3 to still be there. Arsene Wenger is back down to 8/1 to be the next manager to leave their club having drifted out to 12/1 on transfer deadline day.

“Arsene brought in a number of players on transfer deadline day, intended to strengthen the side, but the new faces appear, at first glance, not to have done the trick and Wenger could be out on his Arsene very soon,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills offer 10/1 that Arsenal finish in the bottom half and having conceded another two own goals, Arsenal are 4/1 to score at least another five own goals this season. Arsenal are now far and away the Premier League’s leakiest side and Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Own Goals Will Arsenal Score This Season: 13/2 None; 5/2 One; 5/2 Two; 9/2 Three; 10/1 Four; 4/1 Five or more

Wenger to be in charge on the last day of the season: 1/3 yes; 9/4 gone

8/1 Arsene Wenger to be next Premier League manager to go

Total Arsenal goals conceded in PL this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 55 or more

10/1 Arsenal to finish bottom half this season

First The Bbc…could Itv Now Be On Fergie’s Blacklist?

Sir Alex Ferguson seemingly took offence at the line of questioning from Kenny Dalglish’s daughter Kelly, after the match in Benfica and William Hill are offering 8/1 that the two bosses refuse to shake hands after their teams meet at Anfield on the 15th October. Hills also offer 33/1 that Fergie officially announces that he will not conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates following a Manchester United match.

“Fergie is known to have very little time for any journalists that dare to irritate him with awkward questions, and it could well be that his rival’s daughter may well have ticked that box on Wednesday evening,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With the match between the two rivals a month away, Hills are offering 9/1 that Liverpool win both matches and 5/2 that United do. For both side to get a win each is 9/4.

How many points will Liverpool get against Manchester United? 9/1 Six; 11/2 four; 9/4 three; 15/2 two; 3/1 one; 5/2 none

Will Ferguson and Dalglish shake hands following the match at Anfield on Oct 15th? 1/20 yes; 8/1 no
