Wigan Man Lands The ‘impossible’ Treble!

You would have thought that an Everton fan based in Wigan would be used to supporting the underdogs and his penchant for the plucky outsiders has earned him a share of William Hill’s longest odds football treble. The man, in his mid 40s, who wishes to remain anonymous placed £5.00 on Blackburn beating Manchester United, Aston Villa beating Chelsea and when Ji Dong-Won scored the 93rd minute winner for Sunderland against Manchester City landing a 1517/1 hat-trick of results worth £7590.

“To find three of the least predictable of the season and put them in a virtually impossible treble leaves us very relieved he was only prepared to risk a fiver on the outcome,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “The Blackburn game saw the biggest winning Premier League odds we have ever offered, 22/1 for them to win at Old Trafford and by adding Sunderland and Villa to the mix, the lucky punter beat odds of 1517/1. It is a little surprising he didn’t add Everton to win at West Brom, which would have boosted his winnings to nearly £20,000.”

The winning selections:

£5 stake scooped £7590

Blackburn to beat Manchester United: 22/1
Aston Villa to beat Chelsea: 10/1
Sunderland to beat Manchester City: 5/1

1/14 ROONEY PLAYER OF YEAR DOUBLE

WAYNE ROONEY is red hot favourite to win BOTH the PFA Player of the Year and the Young Player of the Year Award, following the release of the shortlists. Hills offer 1/14 that the United and England star will land a memorable double – and 13/2 that he fails to do so. ‘Rooney has been around so long it is something of a surprise to find him still eligible to be the Young Player of the Year, but all the indications are that he will make off with both trophies’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

UNDER ORDERS FOR HIGHBURY HANDICAP? MOURINHO FAVOURITE TO SUCCEED WENGER……

WITH Arsenal’s failure to wi n a trophy for five seasons begininng to spark talk of when Arsene Wenger will cease to be Gunners’ boss, William Hill have opened a book on who will succeed him when he eventually stands down. And Hill have installed Joe Mourinho as their 6/1 favourite. ‘Given the nature of the job and the way Arsenal have played under Wenger you’d expect this to be one of the most sought after jobs in world football’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
William Hill now make Arsene Wenger 4/1 to quit Arsenal before the end of next season and 1/7 still to be there. Hills make the Gunners 4/9 to win nothing again next season. ‘Rumblings of discontent from trophy-less Arsenal fans will begin to make themselves heard now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
