WHEN WILL UNITED WIN WITHOUT ROONEY?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Man U will next win a game in the current absence of Wayne Rooney, and they make United 50/1 to fail to win ANY of their next five games. ‘There are plenty of people who believe United have almost been a one man team this season. This spell without Rooney will test that theory’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When will Man Utd next win a match without Wayne Rooney? (90m play):

Bayern Munich H….8/13
Blackburn A…..5/2
Man City A…..8/1
Champions League semi final 1st leg…16/1
Tottenham H…..20/1
To win NONE of these games: 50/1

WHEN WILL WAYNE COME BACK?
WILLIAM HILL offer 13/8 that Wayne Rooney will first return for Man U in their derby match against Manchester City, but have cut him from 50/1 to 40/1 not to play any part in their games for the remainder of the season. ‘Wayne was notably missed against Chelsea and the temptation may be to rush him back if United begin to under-achieve without him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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 ….40/1

WILL JOE COLE GET ON PLANE TO WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL have cut Joe Cole from 7/4 to 5/4 to make it into England’s World Cup squad – and he’s now 2/1 to start the first game. ‘Joe Cole may have timed his return to form to perfection to claw his way into the England squad’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

William Hill…..Joe Cole to make the final World Cup 2010 squad:

4/7 No
5/4 Yes

Wm Hill….Joe Cole to start Englands 1st world cup 2010 game:

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL have lengthened England’s odds, and now make Australia their 5/2 favourites to win the bid to host the 2018 World Cup following the latest high profile setback to England’s bid from the Premier League’s chairman, Sir Dave Richards. And Hills are now offering 8/1 that leader of the bid, Lord Triesman, will stand down before the end of the year.
Hills have pushed England out from 9/4 to 5/2 and spokesman Graham Sharpe commented: ‘Richards’ resignation in itself is not a great cause for alarm, but it is symptomatic of the continuing unrest apparently surrounding the whole campaign which has only just been re-launched. If Lord Triesman were to bail out it is difficult to predit what effect that would have on the bid’

Last Tango In Paris? – Bookies Slash Odds On Ireland V France Replay

November 27, 2009 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bookies, E Mail, Fb, Fifa, France, Ireland, Last Tango In Paris, Money, Odds, Public Relations Manager, Replay, Sanction, Slash, Spokesman, Swell, Tango In Paris, William Hill, World Cup 2010, World Cup Finals

William Hill have cut the odds of a replay taking place between Ireland and France from 100-1 to 10-1 following a huge swell of support behind the Irish cause.

The bookies have also reported strong money for Thierry ‘le hand’ Henry getting an official sanction from FIFA or UEFA. They originally offered odds of 10-3 for him to get a ban, but they are now only offering 9-4.

William Hill’s Irish spokesman Tony Kenny said “Punters seem to believe there is a real chance of FIFA ordering a replay and as a result, we’ve been forced to dramatically alter our odds.” He continued “We still think it’s very unlikely there will be a rematch between Ireland and France, but you never know!”

William Hill have also re-installed Ireland into their World Cup 2010 betting at an unlikely 1000-1.

++ William Hill have already pledged to refund all the punters who backed Ireland to qualify for next year’s World Cup finals.
