Red Devils Will Leave Bookies Feeling Blue

The FA Cup semi-finals kick off on Saturday as Man City play Man Utd and William Hill make the red side of the city 11/10 favourites to get through to the final. It would appear that the loss of Wayne Rooney for United is not as damaging as the loss of Carlos Tevez for City and Hills punters have been rushing in to back United, already resulting in a five figure loss. Hills favourites to reach the final are Manchester United and Bolton, offered at 17/10, while a Stoke/Manchester City final is the outsider at 7/2.

“Manchester United are firm favourites both with us and the punters and we are keeping our fingers firmly crossed for a City victory,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tottenham Face Uphill Struggle To Match Champs League Heroics Next Season

Tottenham’s European dream ended at the hands of Real Madrid tonight and William Hill are offering 9/4 that Spurs play Champions League football next season. Tottenham have progressed incredibly under Harry Redknapp and he is 6/4 to become the next England manager. Despite Redknapp’s assurances that his team will not be being split up, the lure of Champion’s League may prove to be too much for some of Spur’s biggest players and Modric is 13/8 to leave the club before the first game of next season, while Van der Vaart is 9/4 and Bale 11/10 to do the same.

“Tottenham have really lit up the competition this season, but their 4-0 victory, that was very well backed pre match, failed to materialise and the odds suggest that Spurs will struggle to get back into the competition for next year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will now face each other in the Champions League Semi-Final, in what will be one of four El Classico games before the end of the season and Hills offer 33/1 that Real Madrid win them all and 10/1 that Barcelona do so.

William Hill Odds:

Champions League Outright: 1/1 Barcelona; 5/2 Manchester United; 3/1 Real Madrid; 12/1 Schalke

To Qualify:
7/4 Real Madrid; 2/5 Barcelona;
11/4 Schalke; 1/4 Manchester United

Nominate the finalists: 4/5 Barca/Man Utd; 5/2 Real Madrid/Man Utd; 9/2 Barca/Schalke; 9/1 Real Madrid/Schalke

Players to Stay at Spurs (yes/no):
Modric: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no
Van der Vaart: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

Odds-on For Carlo To Say Ciao To Chelsea In Summer

Carlo Acelotti appears to be walking a very thin line following Chelsea’s capitulation against Manchester United. Bookmakers William Hill offer 5/1 that he is the next Premier League manager to leave their job and also 1/3 that he is not in charge come the first day of next season. Should Ancelotti be relieved of his position, Hills are 5/2 that Guus Hiddink takes over as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Jose Mourinho is 11/4.

Fernando Torres has endured a wretched start to his Chelsea career although Hills offer Even money that his goal drought ends against West Brom at the weekend. He is 7/2 to fail to score for the rest of the season. It is 10/3 that Torres has left Chelsea by the first game of next season while the odds suggest that the first of Chelsea’s strikers to leave the club will be Drogba (11/8) followed by Nicolas Anelka at 7/4.

“It is fair to say that Chelsea’s season has not gone quite to plan and their first season without a trophy in three years could well be the death knell for Ancelotti,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Champions Leaue Specials

*************************************WILLIAM HILL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SPECIALS*********************************

THEY THINK IT’S ALL OVER – ER, PERHAPS IT ISN’T!

WITH ALL four of the Champions League quarter finals producing positive results, William Hill have opened a book on how many of the four teams who are trailing from the first leg will be able to overturn the deficit and progress to the semis – but think it is a big odds-on shot that none will be able to, and make that option 1/3 favourite. ‘Cup competitions are famous for upset results and for those who think that there is still a chance of upsets in the 2nd legs we are letting them bet on how many turn-rounds there will be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

How Many Teams Will Overturn 1st Leg Deficit?
None 1/3
One 9/4

2/1 Barca score both halves.

TORRES FOR THE CHOP?

WILLIAM HILL offer 10/3 that Torres will either have been sold or sent out on loan on the first day of next season as his run of goalless games becomes even longer. ‘He’s 11/2 not to score for the rest of the season, and even if he gets just one or two goals it is difficult to see how he can be regarded as a success unless those goals come in the Champions League final’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Torres 1/5 still to be at Stamford Bridge on the first day of next season.

TORRES ‘NO CHELSEA GOALS THIS SEASON’ ODDS SLASHED!

TORRES has been cut from 8/1 to 11/2 NOT to score for Chelsea this season by William Hill who make him 4/1 NOT tos core in any of his next five games, after yet another blank afternoon.’Chelsea must be checking the receipt they got when Torres signed from Liverpool to see whether they can take him back for a refund’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Non Chelsea fans have been happily cleaning up on him not scoring and now we have built up a sizeable five figure liability if he doesn;t get one for the rest of the season’.
TORRES IS 40/1 WITH HILLS TO SCORE A 90M HAT TRICK V MAN U.
