5/1 TORRES CHELSEA SEASON TO BE TOTAL BLANK

WILLIAM HILL are now quoting odds of 5/1 that Torres fails to score in any Premier League or Champions League game for Chelsea this season. ‘He had one or two half chances against United but his confidence is clearly suffering the longer the blank run continues’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills now make Ancelotti 4/7 NOT to be Chelsea boss on the first day of next season, 5/4 still to be there. ‘Ancelottoi would appear to need to turn United over at Old Trafford in the 2nd leg at the very least to retain his job’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS…2ND Leg….Evens Man U; 9/4 Draw; Chelsea 9/4. To progress…..2/7 Man U; 5/2 Chelsea.

TO WIN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE….11/10 Barca; 3/1 Real; 4/1 Man U; 8/1 Chelsea; 12/1 Schalke; 100/1 Inter; 250 Spurs; 300 Shakhtar.

8/1 Hodgson To Return To Craven Cottage…or Will Banksy Hijacko Wacko?

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

Following the unveiling of Fulham’s rather bizarre Michael Jackson statue, bookmakers William Hill are betting on what will happen first to the effigy. Hills offer 6/1 that a pot of paint is thrown over it, while 8/1 is on offer for somebody to put a Roy Hodgson mask over Jacko’s face. Hills offer 20/1 that Banksy decorates the statue and 25/1 that his microphone is replaced by an umbrella.

“To say that the statue has not gone down well, would be an understatement and it would come as no surprise if somebody did decorate it in their own special way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

What Will Happen To The Michael Jackson Statue:
6/1 Pot of paint thrown over it
8/1 Roy Hodgson mask put on it
10/1 Fulham shirt to be put on it
12/1 Glove hand to be chopped off
14/1 Chelsea shirt to be put on it
16/1 Head chopped off
20/1 For Banksy to ‘decorate’ the statue
25/1 To have the microphone replaced by an umbrella

ROONEY BANNED? BET ON IT….

WITH Wayne Rooney now charged by the FA over his weekend swearing outburst, William Hill have opened a book on what level of match-ban he will receive IF he appeals.
‘There is tremendous in what is an unprecedented case being brought against a player and as it is Rooney everyone has an opinion. There would seem to be every chance he will appeal, so we have opened a book on what punishment he will receive if he does so – and will of course refund stakes should he decide not to’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WITH the relegation scrap looking like going right to the end of the season, William Hill have opened a book on how many points the 18th placed side in the table will end the season with – and offer 6/4 that it will be 38 or fewer. ‘Managers in the bottom half of the table are furiously working out how many points they need to be safe – we think 39 should do it’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

W-W-WILL THEY ALL FINISH BOTTOM, INITIALLY?

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 that all three relegated teams this season will begin with a ‘W’, and offer 20/1 that three ‘B’s will go down. ‘Initially, it seemed like a good idea to quote odds about alphabetical relegations!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

And Torres is Even money to open his Premier League account against Stoke this weekend, but 6/1 not to score in any of his next five games. ‘Torres is having a torrid time in front of goal but it is hard to see that continuing for much longer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

6/4 For Capello To Put His Foot In It With Wenger

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

William Hill are offering odds on what Fabio Capello will say during his post match interview after the Ghana game tonight. The 1/5 favourite is that he once again finds himself discussing the England captaincy. He is 1/2 to mention the U21 European Championships, a topic that has caused much consternation for Arsene Wenger, and Capello is 6/4 to make mention of the Arsenal boss.

With Capello struggling to decide who should start up front with Wayne Rooney, he is 100/1 to mention Michael Ricketts in his post match interview on ITV.

“Arsene Wenger is not happy that Fabio Capello has lobbied for Jack Wilshere to compete in the U21 European Championships and Fabio could well use the post match interview to address the issue,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Jack Wilshere is 4/9 to play for England at the U21 European Championship.

William Hill Odds:

What Will Fabio Capello Say During His Post Match Interview On ITV1*:
1/2 U21s European Championship
6/4 Arsenal/Arsene Wenger
1/5 England Captaincy
11/4 Jose Mourinho
5/2 To Swear (a post watershed swear word)
7/1 I don’t understand
4/5 Rio Ferdinand
4/1 Alcohol
5/1 English Mentality
100/1 William Hill
100/1 Michael Ricketts

*Must be exact phrase/word. Post match interview live on ITV

Will Jack Wilshere play for England in the U21 European Championships: 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No

WILL FABIO KEEP FAITH WITH WALES WINNERS?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many of those who started against Wales for England will also be in the starting line up for their next Euro qualifier against Switzerland, for which Rooney will be suspended. ‘You’d have to expect that Capello will look to make changes as the display against Wales was functional rather than inspired’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND HILLS OFFER 5/6 THAT CAPELLO WILL CHANGE ALL ELEVEN OF HIS STARTING LINE UP FOR THE GHANA GAME ON TUESDAY, 5/6 THAT HE KEEPS AT LEAST ONE PLAYER. ENGLAND ARE 1/2 WITH HILLS TO BEAT GHANA WHO ARE 9/2 WITH THE DRAW 13/5.

YOUNG AT HEART OF TRANSFER RIDDLE?

ASTON VILLA winger Ashley Young has been linked with a number of clubs, but William Hill, who have opened a book on who he will be playing for on the first day of next season make Villa 6/4 favourites. ‘Villa will no doubt make strenuous efforts to keep hold of Young, and if they finish the season strongly there could be a chance that he will stay, but on current form one would expect him to think seriously about moving – there will be no shortage of interested observers watching his situation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND WIN DELIGHTS BOOKIES

UNUSUALLY, bookmakers were delighted with an England victory. ‘The majority of the corrrect score bets we took were for victories of 4-0 and upwards, so we are relieved that the goals petered out at two. Usually an England win equals bookie gloom, but we got off relatively lightly this time, particularly as a fair few punters fancied an upset win for Wales’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
