******************************WILLIAM HILL FOOTBALL SPECIALS******************************************************

IPSWICH TO CONCEDE ANOTHER NOT-SO-MAGNIFICENT SEVEN?

WITH IPSWICH reeling from a seven goal drubbing at Chelsea in the FA Cup, William Hill are betting on how many goals they will concede in the two legs of the Carling Cup semi final against Arsenal – and make 5-7 their 11/10 favourite.
Ipswich may take a crumb of comfort from the fact that their last two semi final home legs at Portman Road have produced 1-0 home wins – but that eventuality is a 20/1 shot with Hills, while Arsenal are 1/10 to make the Final, with Ipswich 11/2 to get through.
90mins – 7/1 Ipswich; 19/5 draw; Arsenal 4/11.

Extra time included, but not penalty shoot-out.

8/1 DALGLISH TO SEE RED AGAIN

AFTER Steven Gerrard was sent off in Kenny Dalglish’s first game as Liverpool caretaker boss, William Hill offer 8/1 that any Liverpool player is dismissed against Blackpool on Wednesday night – while Hills also offer 100/1 that Liverpool again concede a first minute penalty.

NEXT PERMANENT LIVERPOOL MANAGER?….10/11 Dalglish; 9/2 O’Neill; 11/2 Coyle; 6/1 Rijkaard; 7/1 Rangnick; 8/1 Villas-Boas.10/1 Steve Clarke. Others on request.

BECKHAM 5/1 FOR ENGLAND COMEBACK

WILLIAM HILL offer 5/1 that David Beckham will play any part in ANY England game during 2011 – and 8/1 that he will play any part in any COMPETITIVE England game. ‘Should he get to play a number of games for Spurs Beckham could yet increase his tally of England caps’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

YOU BET KENNY IS THERE FOR LIVERPOOL LONG HAUL

KENNY DALGLISH has been backed from 13/8 to 10/11 favourite to win the manager’s job at Liverpool on a permanent basis following the club’s FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford. ‘Clearly the fact that his team conceded a first minute penalty, had their skipper sent off and failed to score has impressed punters, who haven’t wanted to back anyone else to get the job on a long-term basis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
