Bookies Hail Gunners’ Multi Million Mix Up As Arsenal Odds On To Win Zilch – Again.

Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.
