Goals, goals, goals………
WHAT WILL SEASON’S PREMIERSHIP MATCH GOALS’ AVERAGE BE?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what the final average tally for goals per game in Premiership matches will be this season, and offer 11/1 that it will be over 2.9 per game.’There have been goals galore in the Prem so far this season but we think the ultimate average per game is likely to be between 2.61 and 2.7, so we make that range our 6/4 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Under 2.5 14/1
2.50 – 2.6 4/1
2.61 – 2.7 6/4
2.71 -2.8 2/1
2.81 – 2.9 6/1
Over 2.9 11/1
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premiership goals Arsenal will score this season and offer 5/6 80 or more; 5/6 79 or fewer.

The Gunners are 14/1 with Hills to score 100 or more Prem goals. ‘It has been goals galore for the Gunners at home and if they can keep them flowing 100 should be within their capabilities’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With the Arsenal-Blackburn match clocking up a new highest aggregate of the Prem season so far, 8 goals, Hills offer 2/5 that no game this season will produce 9 or more; 5/2 that 9 will be the highest aggregate of the Prem season; 9/1 that 10 will be the highest aggregate; 20/1 that 11 or more will be highest aggregate.
WILLIAM HILL OFFER 10/1 THAT ANY ENGLAND ‘SUB’ WILL BE AWARDED A FIFA MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD DURING WORLD CUP FINALS. ‘Steve Bruce’s decision to hand the Man of the Match Award to David Beckham may set a new trend – perhaps we can look forward to a referee or ball-boy receiving one during the World Cup finals’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
BECKHAM 8/13 TO MAKE WORLD CUP SQUAD

AFTER his ‘man of the match’ performance against Belarus, David Beckham is 8/13 to make England’s World Cup squad with William Hill who make him 5/1 to beat Peter Shilton’s recored 125 cap haul.

‘Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore the bearded wonder who is 1/4 to be sporting facial hair of some kind when the first England World Cup goal kicks off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills now make Ben Foster 5/1 to start in goal in England’s first World Cup game.Peter Crouch is 6/5 with Hills to start first World Cup game.

EMILE 2/1 TO QUIT VILLA IN TRANSFER WINDOW

WILLIAM HILL offer 2/1 that Emile Heskey will leave Villa during the next transfer window – and make him a 4/11 chance still to be there on February 1, 2010, offering 7/1 that he has joined Spurs by then. ‘Heskey seems to believe there will be a string of clubs desperate to snap him up if he leaves Villa, we’re not so sure and think he may realise that he is better off at Villa than he could be anywhere else’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills…….At which club will Emile Heskey be on 1st February 2010?:
Aston Villa 4/11
Tottenham 7/1
Wigan 9/1
Liverpool 9/1
Everton 10/1

Sven-to-quit-County odds halved:
WILL ENGLAND MEET SVEN IN WORLD CUP?

WITH Sven Goran Erikkson appearing to be eyeing up the possibility of taking up yet another international management appointment after his stunning success with England and Mexico, William Hill are offering 25/1 that he will be managing any of the countries England meet during the World Cup – and have also halved their odds about Sven quitting Notts County before the end of the season from 11/2 to 11/4, making him 1/4 from 1/10 to see the campaign out at the club. ‘The association with possible World Cup contenders smacks of keeping Sven’s name in the public eye so that potential employers don’t forget about him, and wouldn’t appear to augur well for County’s chances of hanging on to him in the long term’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Gerrard And Rooney Odds On To Recover For Clubs As Platt Backed For County

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

ROONEY AND GERRARD ODDS ON TO MAKE MIRACLE RECOVERIES

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether either Steven Gerrard and/or Wayne Rooney will play any part in their clubs’ Premiership matches at the weekend. Hills offer 8/1 that NEITHER will play any part; 5/4 that either ONE of them will play some part, and 8/11 that BOTH will play some part in the matches at home to Bolton (Man U) and away to Sunderland (Liverpool).
‘Both Rooney and Gerrard seem to be quick healers and we think there is every chance that both will be in action at the weekend’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NOTT PLATT?

THE LARGEST bet William Hill have taken so far on the identity of the next Notts County manager is for David Platt, on whom one punter has risked £100 and who is currently 4/1 second favourite. ‘There are reports that such and such a candidate has ruled himself in or out and so and so is not being considered, but experience has told us that in these markets money is better informed than rumours’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now make Roberto Mancini 7/2 favourite to get the job and also offer 4/1 Platt; Peter Taylor; 7 Coppell; 9 Dowie; 10 Curbishley; 16 Sven; Keegan; O’Leary; 20 Strachan.

SVEN WILL HE GO

AFTER the departure of Ian McParland as Notts County boss, William Hill have installed Sven Goran Erikkson as 7/2 favourite to take over the reins permanently himself. Hills now make County 1/3 to be promoted this season, 9/4 not to and offer 1/10 that Sven will still be at the club on the last day of the season , 11/2 that he will not. ‘With hindsight, McParland’s departure was almost certainly inevitable even though he could be backed at 6/5 to be gone before the end of the season when the new owners took over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make County 6/4 favourites to win League Two and also offer 5 Bournemouth; 11/2 Rochdale; 11 Rochdale; 12 Dagenham; 14 Chesterfield; Shrewsbury.

BECKS NOW 5/1 TO BEAT SHILTS’ RECORD

AFTER failing to play any part in the game against Ukraine, David Beckham is an odds on shot to play some part in the Belarus match with William Hill – but they have legnthened their odds for him to pass Peter Shilton’s record caps tally of 125 from 7/2 to 5/1.

Beckham to break Shilton’s record 5/1

Beckham to make World Cup squad 8/11 yes, Evs no
