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

WILL O’NEILL STAY OR GO?
AFTER dismissing rumours that he had considered walking out on Villa, Martin O’Neill is quoted at 1/2 by William Hill still to be manager there on the first day of next season and 6/4 to have left the club by then. ‘Martin O’Neill was less than definite that he would still be Villa boss when they play their first Premier League game of next season, when questioned on the subject’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

PUNTERS FEAR FOR ARSENAL IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
William Hill have lengthened Arsenal from 7/2 to 4/1 to eliminate Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League quarter final, but Barca are 1/7 favourites to go through – and they are also 11/8 favourites to win the competition with Hills who also offer: 10/3 Inter; 4/1 Man U; 10/1 Bayern; Lyons; 14/1 Arsenal; 33/1 Bordeaux; 40/1 CSKA. ‘Not many punters seem to give Arsenal much chance of progressing any further after the injury to Fabregas’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
TWO TO CONTEST CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL…….9/4 Barcelona- Man U; 9/2 Man U -Inter; 6/1 Bayern – Barca; 6/1 Barcelona- Lyon; 8/1 Inter- Lyon; 10 Bayern- Inter; 14 Arsenal – Man U; 14 Barca- Bordeaux; 25 Bordeaux- Inter; 25 Arsenal- Bayern; 33 Arsenal – Lyon; 50 Man U -CSKA; Bayern- CSKA; Lyon- CSKA; 66 Arsenal- Bordeaux; Bordeaux- CSKA.

**Hills offer 1/7 that Arsene Wenger will STILL be Gunners’ boss on the first day of next season, and 4/1 that he will not.
**HILLS OFFER 14/1 ABOUT AN ARSENAL – MAN U CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL.
**THEO WALCOTT IS 11/10 WITH HILLS TO START ENGLAND’S FIRST WORLD CUP MATCH AND 4/6 NOT TO. HE IS 2/7 TO MAKE THE SQUAD, 5/2 NOT TO.
WHEN WILL WAYNE RETURN?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Wayne Rooney will next play for Manchester United, and make their forthcoming away game with Manchester City their 13/8 favourite, while offering 40/1 that it won’t be until their last league game, at home to Stoke and 50/1 that he will only return in the Champions League Final. ‘At the moment noone is too sure when Wayne will be back in a United shirt, but most will be hoping it will be sooner, rather than later, although non-United supporting England fans may be happy the longer a rest he gets.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..When will Wayne Rooney next play some part in a game for Man Utd ?:

Chelsea H…33/1
Bayern Munich H…7/1
Blackburn A…15/8
Man City A…13/8
Champions League Semi Final… 1st Leg 9/2
Tottenham…. H9/1
Champions League Semi Final 2nd Leg…16/1
Sunderland …A25/1
Stoke H…40/1
Champions League Final – 50/1
None of the above ….50/1

UNITED TITLE ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened Manchester United’s Premier League title odds from 5/6 to 10/11 following Wayne Rooney’s injury – ‘We’ve not laid a serious bet for them to win the title since the injury’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Chelsea 6/4 second favourites, with Arsenal 5/1.
HILLS HAVE CUT ENGLAND FROM 6/1 TO 5/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP. ‘We lengthened England’s World Cup odds by a point after the injury was reported, but now that he looks likely to be fit in plenty of time for the World Cup we have taken more cash for England at 6/1, so shortened them back up to 5/1′ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe – but it certainly shows that punters believe England’s World Cup chances are directly related to Wayne’s fitness.’

At the same time we have also received enquiries for O’Neill to be the next Liverpool manager.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
