***************************************WILLIAM HILL WEEKEND PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS*******************
WILL CHARLIE STILL BE BLACKPOOL’S DARLING BY FEBRUARY?
WILLIAM HILL make Blackpool’s Charlie Adam an odds-on shot to leave the club during the January transfer window – quoting him at 8/11 to go and Evens still to be a Tangerine when the window closes. ‘Ian Holloway is talking up his chances of holding on to Charlie Adam, but the vultures may be circling over Bloomfield Road’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
CITY 5/1 TO BE FIRST TEAM TO BEAT UNITED
WILLIAM HILL, who make Manchester United 11/1 to remain undefeate all season in the Premier League, make Chelsea 10/3 favourites to be the first club to loower their colours this season, with neighbours Manchester City 5/1 second favourites. ‘The majority of football pundits keep insisting that United are not good enough to remain undefeated all season, and they just carry on remaining undefeated’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
MEANWHILE, HILLS HAVE CUT THEIR ODDS ABOUT UNITED REMAINING UNBEATEN ALL SEASON – BUT STILL FAILING TO WIN THE LEAGUE TITLE FROM 100/1 TO 50/1. ‘A few punters stepped in for the 100/1 and it is far from an impossible scenario’ said Sharpe.

WILL PULIS AND HUGHES SHAKE EACH OTHER WARMLY BY THE HAND – OR, PERHAPS, THROAT?
WILLIAM HILL are offering 20/1 that Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes will come to blows at any stage of this weekend’s Fulham v Stoke match after bad feeling grew up between them during the past two games before the sides. And Hills are offering 2/1 that the pair will not shake hands after the final whistle (must be shown on tv) of the game, and 4/11 that they will. ‘The Hughes-Pulis affair is beginning to turn into a long-running feud to rival Bridge versus Terry – but maybe they will bury the hatchet this weekend – hopefully not in each other!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

YOU BET GUNNERS ON COURSE TO END TROPHY FAMINE
WITH Arsene Wenger and Arsenal suffering five seasons without a trophy, William Hill are betting that they finish their trophy famine with a vengeance this season, and make them 2/1 to win NO trophies again, but 9/2 to take both the Prem and Carling; 8/1 FA Cup/Carling; 14/1 Prem/FA cup; 25 Carling/Ch Lg; 66/1 FA Cup/ Champs Lg; 66/1 Prem/FA/Ch Lg; 100/1 Carling/FA/Ch Lg; 300/1 all four trophies. ‘This is beginning to look like the season Arsenal end their famine in style’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS…FA CUP ODDS……..7/2 Man U; 5/1 Man C; Arsenal; 7 Spurs; 14 Everton; 20 Bolton; 25 Villa; 33 Birminhgma; 40 Blackburn; Fulham; Stoke; Wolves. Others on request…………7/2 all London Final.

NONE2/1…..ONE1/1…..TWO9/4…..THREE14/1…….FOUR300/1
SO, IF O’NEILL ISN’T GOING TO WEST HAM, WHERE WILL HE REAPPEAR?
WITH Martin O’Neill’s rumoured return to management at West Ham now apparently ruled out, William Hill have opened a book on whether he will be back in management before the first day of the next Premier League season – and if so, where? Hills make Liverpool 5/1 to be his next port of call within that timeframe.
‘O’Neill is too big a managerial talent and too active a man to want to remain in exile for an extended period of time, so he seems almost certain to return to management – but when and where will that be?’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
KING KENNY 22/1 NOT TO GET A WIN FOR ANOTHER FIVE GAMES AT LEAST
KENNY DALGLISH has yet to lead Liverpool to victory and William Hill have opened a book on when that will finally happen – and make Liverpool Even money shots to win their next game against Fulham, and 22/1 NOT to win any of their next five.
Despite Liverpool having yet to win under Dalglish, he is 5/4 favourite to get the Liverpool job on a permanent basis with William Hill who also offer 9/2 Rijkaard; 11/2 Coyle; 7 Rangnick; 8 Villas-Boas; 10/1 Martin O’Neill. ‘Kenny has drifted from odds-on to odds-against and if Liverpool don;t start winning soon he may become an outsider in the betting to be next permanent boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
LIVERPOOL ARE 4/5 WITH HILLS TO FINISH HIGHER THAN EVERTON, WHO ARE 10/11 TO DO VICE VERSA.
Hills…Next Liverpool win
Wolves…22 January 2011……1/1
Fulham…26 January 2011……7/5

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BENT TO GET OFF MARK FOR VILLA?
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Darren Bent will score his first goal for Villa and make the game against Manchester City their 15/8 favourites, but offer 10/3 that he fails to score at all in any of his first five games. ‘Bent’s career scoring record suggests he should not take more than three games to get off the mark’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS MAKE SUNDERLAND 2/7 TO FINISH ABOVE VILLA, WHO ARE 5/2 TO DO VICE VERSA, THIS SEASON.
HILLS OFFER 5/4 THAT DARREN BENT WILL START A MATCH FOR ENGLAND DURING 2011 – 4/7 THAT HE WON’T.’England aren’t exactly over-blessed with striking talent so Darren has a pretty good chance of getting back into the England starting line-up’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WHEN WILL BENT SCORE HIS FIRST GOAL FOR VILLA?
V MAN CITY….15/8
@ WIGAN…….2/1
@ MAN UTD….9/1
V FULHAM…….5/1
@ BLACKPOOL….10/1
NONE OF NEXT FIVE…..10/3
DARREN BENT ON GOALS FOR VILLA
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premier League goals Darren Bent will score for Villa this season and make 4-6 their 7/4 favourite. ‘Bent is a proven Premier League striker but could take a while to gel with his new team mates, so we are erring on the side of caution with our odds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
DARREN BENT GOALS FOR VILLA
0 TO 3….5/4…….4 TO 6….7/4…….7 TO 10….5/2……11 PLUS…10/3
HOULLIER 12/1 TO BE NEXT BOSS OUT – BRUCE 9/2
WILLIAM HILL make Steve Bruce 9/2 joint second favourite and Gerard Houllier 12/1 joint seventh favourite to be the next Prem boss to go this season. Hills make Avrma Grant Even mon ey favourite and also offer; 9/2 Ancelotti; Bruce; 7 Hughes; 10 McCarthy; Martinez; 12 Di Matteo; Houllier; 12 No more bosses to go this season.
CITY 100/1 TO BACK UP MANCINI BOAST
William Hill offer 100/1 about Manchester City fulfilling boss Mancini’s belief that they have a chance of winning all three trophies they are contesting – the Prem title; FA Cup; Europa League.
