DI MATTEO BACKED TO BE FULL TIME BOSS AFTER CHELSEA TURN IT ROUND…..

ROBERTO DI MATTEO was 8/1 with William Hill to to be appointed Chelsea’s permanent manager prior to kick-off of their Champions League game against Napoli on Wednesday evening. After the game he was cut to 5/1 as punters clamoured to back him, and now he is down to 5/2 second favourite with Hills, a fraction behind 9/4 favourite Jose Mourinho. ‘One swallow doesn;t make a summer, and one Champions League victory doesn’t make a trophy, but Chelsea fans appear to believe Di Matteo may well be the man charged with bringing the good times back to the Bridge’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills now make Chelsea 11/8 to manage a top 4 finish in the Premier League – and 25/1 to turn potential disaster into triumph by winning both the FA Cup and Champions League. However, they are also 2/7 to end the season empty-handed.
HILLS HAVE OPENED A BOOK on how many goals Torres will score from now until the end of the season – and make 0-3 their 4/5 favourite. ‘Even fans of rival clubs seem to want to see Torres come out of his goal drought now, but everyone is speculating on whether he will score again this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

WEDNESDAY PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS

Alex Ferguson has claimed that the Premier League title could go down to the wire with goal difference possibly being a deciding factor. William Hill offer 5/1 that the destination of the Premier League trophy is decided this way. Should that be the case, Hills think that United have the edge, offering 4/7 that they end the season with a more superior goal difference than their Manchester rivals (5/4 vice versa). Hills go 3/1 that the title is decided after the result of the Manchester Derby on the 30th April.

“This could be one of the closest title run ins yet, made all the more exciting by the fact that it is City against United,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It is looking more and more likely that the Derby on 30th April could be the most important in recent memory.”

Robin van Persie could add to his impressive tally by bagging a goal or two on Wednesday evening against Everton and William Hill are offering 9/4 that he breaks the all time individual Premier League record goal tally of 34. He is 5/2 to outscore the entire Everton team during their match on Wednesday.

You Bet Arsenal’s Bad Luck Is Behind Them…4/7 To Outscore Chelsea On Thursday

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

Fernando Torres scored and then saw red against Swansea on Saturday and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Torres bags a goal against Valencia, while he is 25/1 to get sent off. Should Torres start the match, he is 4/6 to fail to finish and is 11/10 to play all 90 minutes. Robin van Persie found his shooting boots at the weekend, bagging a brace and Hills go 2/1 that he scores more goals than Torres on Wednesday (the Spaniard is 10/3 to outscore van Persie) and they are 4/5 to score the same amount of goals.

“Arsenal have finally secured back to back wins this season and will be looking to build on their mini revival by putting in an accomplished performance against Olympiacos,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal are 1/3 to defeat Olimpiacos and their success in that match is considered enough of a certainty for Hills to offer 4/7 that Wenger’s men score more than Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Match Bets:
1/3 Arsenal; 8/1 Olympiacos; 4/1 Draw
2/1 Valencia; 7/5 Chelsea; 11/5 Draw

Torres Red Card: 25/1

If Torres Starts Will He Finish: 11/10 Yes; 4/6 No

Who Will Score More Goals Chelsea Or Arsenal: 4/7 Arsenal; 3/1 Chelsea; 16/5 Draw

Torres vs. RVP (most goals) on Wednesday: 10/3 Torres; 2/1 Robin van Persie; 4/5 Draw

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

Sir Alex Ferguson seemingly took offence at the line of questioning from Kenny Dalglish’s daughter Kelly, after the match in Benfica and William Hill are offering 8/1 that the two bosses refuse to shake hands after their teams meet at Anfield on the 15th October. Hills also offer 33/1 that Fergie officially announces that he will not conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates following a Manchester United match.

“Fergie is known to have very little time for any journalists that dare to irritate him with awkward questions, and it could well be that his rival’s daughter may well have ticked that box on Wednesday evening,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With the match between the two rivals a month away, Hills are offering 9/1 that Liverpool win both matches and 5/2 that United do. For both side to get a win each is 9/4.

How many points will Liverpool get against Manchester United? 9/1 Six; 11/2 four; 9/4 three; 15/2 two; 3/1 one; 5/2 none

Will Ferguson and Dalglish shake hands following the match at Anfield on Oct 15th? 1/20 yes; 8/1 no

Ferguson to announce that he will refuse to conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates during this season: 33/1

They are 25/1 to qualify for the Champion’s League (having been 250/1 at the start of the season) and 7/4 to finish in the Europa League spots (5th to 8th). They are 28/1 to finish in the bottom three.

Bolton Wanderers Finishing Position: 25/1 Top four; 7/4 Fifth to Eighth; 5/4 Ninth to Twelfth; 9/4 Thirteenth to Seventeenth; 28/1 Bottom Three
