Lampard 5/6 To Reach 100 Caps…qpr Becks Appeal Shrinking

Frank Lampard led by example as England defeated Spain and he has now targeted 100 caps for England. The midfielder, who took his tally to 90 on Saturday is 5/6 with William Hill to join the 100 club (5/6 not to).

QPR have seemingly given up in the race to sign David Beckham and William Hill have eased their odds to 8/1 (from 6/1). Paris Saint Germain are the 4/9 favourites to secure Beckham’s signature, while Tottenham are the 5/1 second favourites. Beckham is 4/7 to join up with the GB squad for the 2012 Olympics and Hills make Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey 1/8 and 1/5 respectively to feature in the Olympic squad.

“Bale and Ramsay have already appeared in the promotional photos for the launching of the GB kit and with Wales not playing in the Euros, it now seems almost impossible to imagine that they will not join up with the squad in London,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckham next club: 4/9 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 8/1 QPR; 9/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Aston Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid…others on request

GB Sqaud for Olympics:

Bale: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Bookies Paying The Penalty For Rooney’s Lack Of Form

Wayne Rooney scored from the spot last night against Rangers taking his Manchester United tally this season to two…both goals being penalties. William Hill have opened a book on the method of Rooney’s next goal and make a penalty 5/1. Rooney to score from a shot inside the penalty box is Hill’s 4/7 favourite, while a shot from outside the penalty box is offered at 9/2.

“Wayne Rooney scored a penalty against Rangers, however, that does not disguise the fact that he is suffering from a continued dip in form. It could well be that he adds to his tally with another penalty,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

Method of Next Goal: 4/7 shot from inside the box (excluding header & penalty); 9/2 Shot from outside the box (excluding header or free kick); 5/1 Penalty; 6/1 Header; 12/1 Direct from free kick.

Blackpool 16/1 For Record Low Points Tally As Jose Odds On To Return To Prem By 2014.

BLACKPOOL 16/1 FOR LOWEST EVER PREM POINTS TALLY!

WILLIAM HILL make Blackpool 10,000/1 to win the Premier League – the longest odds ever quoted about any team in the division – and they are 25/1 with Hills to top the table on points at any stage of the season. But they are also 16/1 with Hills to set a new all time low tally of Prem points – 10 or under.
Hills make Ian Holloway 4/9 still to be Blackpool boss on the final day of the next Premier League season, and 13/8 to have left before then.
Blackpool are 1/3 to be relegated (9/4 to stay up) with Hills who make them Evens to finish bottom of the table, and 1/100 to finish in the bottom half- 16/1 to finish in the top half.
‘Ian Holloway will certainly bring some light relief to the Premier League next season but it will be the greatest feat of his managerial career to keep Blackpool, a team quoted at longer title odds than any other in the history of the Premier League, up’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**CARDIFF are 10/1 to win the Championship next season with Hills who make them 11/4 to be promoted.

JOSE REAL DEAL DONE?

WITH JOSE Mourinho looking certain to be imminently appointed Real Madrid manager, William Hill have closed their book on his next club – but make him 4/9 to return to the Premier League as a boss before January 1, 2014. ‘Noone stays very long at Real Madrid, so Jose will probably be job-hunting again soon, and his best options are likely to be in the Premier League’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**Will Jose Mourinho win the Champions League as Real Madrid manager? Yes 13/8, No 4/9

**Will Jose Mourinho manage again in the Premiership by 1st Jan 2014? Yes 4/9, No 13/8

**How many FULL seasons will Jose Mourinho complete at Real Madrid (i.e manage first and last La Liga match)? 0 = 9/4, 1 = 9/4, 2 = 9/4, 3+ = 7/2.
(Bets void if Mourinho not appointed Real Madrid manager)

10/1 Any England Sub To Be Man Of Match In World Cup Finals

Goals, goals, goals………
WHAT WILL SEASON’S PREMIERSHIP MATCH GOALS’ AVERAGE BE?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what the final average tally for goals per game in Premiership matches will be this season, and offer 11/1 that it will be over 2.9 per game.’There have been goals galore in the Prem so far this season but we think the ultimate average per game is likely to be between 2.61 and 2.7, so we make that range our 6/4 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Under 2.5 14/1
2.50 – 2.6 4/1
2.61 – 2.7 6/4
2.71 -2.8 2/1
2.81 – 2.9 6/1
Over 2.9 11/1
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premiership goals Arsenal will score this season and offer 5/6 80 or more; 5/6 79 or fewer.

The Gunners are 14/1 with Hills to score 100 or more Prem goals. ‘It has been goals galore for the Gunners at home and if they can keep them flowing 100 should be within their capabilities’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With the Arsenal-Blackburn match clocking up a new highest aggregate of the Prem season so far, 8 goals, Hills offer 2/5 that no game this season will produce 9 or more; 5/2 that 9 will be the highest aggregate of the Prem season; 9/1 that 10 will be the highest aggregate; 20/1 that 11 or more will be highest aggregate.
WILLIAM HILL OFFER 10/1 THAT ANY ENGLAND ‘SUB’ WILL BE AWARDED A FIFA MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD DURING WORLD CUP FINALS. ‘Steve Bruce’s decision to hand the Man of the Match Award to David Beckham may set a new trend – perhaps we can look forward to a referee or ball-boy receiving one during the World Cup finals’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
