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

Swansea City pulled off a stunning scalp in the form of Arsenal as they moved back into the top half of the table and William Hill are offering 4/1 that they manage to finish in the top 10 this season. Brendan Rodgers has performed miracles in South Wales and he is 7/1 to win the manager of the year award.

“Swansea continue to confound their detractors who were predicting a tricky time for them this season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They hardly spent any money when they came up yet are still managing to mix it with the big boys in the top half of the table.”

Arsenal’s slim hopes of winning the league suffered another dent and they are 80/1 with Hill’s to win the league and their odds to finish in the top four are also on the drift, with Hills making them 7/4 to finish in the Champions League spots. On a positive note for Arsenal Robin Van Persie continued his fine form by netting Arsenal’s first and he is Even money to finish with golden boot this season. The Gooners are 1/12 to finish in the top 6.

Arsene Wenger 5/2 to no longer be manager of Arsenal come the star of next season and with Robin van Persie’s contract expiring at the end of the 2013 season, Hills make him 7/4 to no longer be an Arsenal player on the first day of next season.

Arsenal are in a bit of a rut this season and they could do with bringing in a few new faces and Hills offer 12/1 that Mr Wenger signs at least three new players in this January’s transfer window. Although, they are odds on, at 8/11, to sign no new faces.

Will Ba Go Bye Bye As Newcastle Could Be Carroll Singing?

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

Rumours abound that Andy Carroll could be on his way back to Newcastle as his Liverpool career has struggled to take off. William Hill think he will remain on Merseyside, however, offering 1/10 that he does not return to the Magpies (11/2 that he does). In just under one year at Liverpool, Andy Carroll has managed just four Premier League goals and Hills make him 8/13 to score more than that for Newcastle (should he sign) by the end of the season.

“To say that Andy Carroll has struggled at Liverpool, would be a bit of an understatement but, despite this, the extended absence of Luis Suarez means that the Reds may not cut their losses just yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll’s arrival on Tyneside could depend on whether Demba Ba’s release clause is activated, with a number of top teams reportedly interested in signing the Senegalese striker. He is 2/1 to leave St. James’ Park in January with PSG the 13/8 favourites to be his next club. Spurs are 11/4 second favourites to be Ba’s next club with Chelsea 3/1.

Thierry Henry marked his return to Arsenal by scoring and did so sporting a full beard. Hill’s think that Henry will now keep his beard for the full duration that he stays at Arsenal offering 1/2 that he does not appear clean shaven (as smooth as a baby’s bum during a match).

“We believe that Thierry Henry is very superstitious and think he will keep the beard until he departs at the end of February,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll to return to Newcastle in January: 11/2 Yes; 1/10 no (loan deals included)

If Andy Carroll moves back to Newcastle, will he score more than four: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

Demba Ba Leave Newcastle in January: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Damba Ba next club: 13/8 PSG; 11/4 Tottenham; 3/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Arsenal; 8/1 Liverpool; 10/1 Man Utd; 14/1 Man City

Will Thierry Henry appear clean shaven for a match during his time at Arsenal: 1/2 no; 6/4 yes
