WATCH OUT SHILTS, YOU BET BECKHAM IS CATCHING UP……
DAVID BECKHAM is now a 7/2 chance with William Hill to overtake Peter Shilton’s record total of 125 England caps.
And the currently bearded Becks can collect two more caps in the two forthcoming qualifiers to add to his total of 114, and Hills offer 9/1 that he STARTS both games; 11/10 that he starts only one, and 4/5 that he starts neither.
‘Becks is edging towards the record slowly but surely but is no longer guaranteed to start matches’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Beckham is 4/7 with Hills to make the World Cup squad, 5/4 not to.
Hills are quoting odds about how many minutes Beckham will play in the two games in total and offer:
How Many Mins Will Beckham Play Over The Two Games ?
None 9/1
1-45….9/4
46-90….2/1
91-135…..11/4
136-180…..5/1
0-90 Mins Only Injury Time Does Not Count
WILL BEARDED BECKHAM BE CLEAN SHAVEN FOR WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL offer odds of 11/4 that newly bearded David Beckham will be completely clean shaven when England’s first match in the World Cup finals kicks off, and 1/4 that he is sporting a beard,designer stubble, goatee, moustache or some other variety of facial hair. (Stakes refunded if Beckham not in squad). ‘It is difficult to imagine that Fabio Capello will want his players running out for World Cup games looking like extras from Pirates of the Caribbean’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND FAVOURITES TO HOST 2018 WORLD CUP
WITH FIFA VICE PRESIDENT Jack Warner generously advising England on how to go about winning the right to host the 2018 World Cup, William Hill have installed them as 6/4 favourites to do so. ’52 years down the line it would seem not unreasonable that one of the few countries ever to have won the tournament should be given the right to host it again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,’But football politics make Machiavelli’s machinations look straightforward, so this race looks wide open’
William Hill: To host 2018 World Cup:
England 6/4
Australia 10/3
Russia 7/2
Spain/Portugal 4/1
Holland/Belgium 33/1
Japan 33/1
USA 33/1
Indonesia 50/1

Dav id Beckham is out from 3/1 to 7/2 with Hills to break Peter Shilton’s record total of caps ‘Beckham not getting a cap against Slovenia was a minor surprise and he must be hoping that it isn’t the end of the road’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We still make him an odds-on chance to make the England squad for the World Cup finals.’

Gareth, Gunn And Sven – Will They Stay Or Will They Go ?

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

WILL WIN, LOSE AND DRAW BOSSES STAY AT CLUBS ALL SEASON ?
THREE HIGH profile bosses had very different starts to the season. Gareth Southgate’s Middlesbro draw with Sheffield United and fans appeared less than impressed; Norwich’s Bryan Gunn oversaw a humiliating 1-7 defeat to local rivals Colchester; while Sven Goran Erikkson saw Notts County start off with a 5-0 drubbing of Bradford.
William Hill now make Southgate 5/6 to survive, 5/6 to leave by last day season; Gunn 4/9 to go, 13/8 to survive; Sven 6/4 to leave, 1/2 to stay.
‘These three managers are all under pressure for very different reasons but their futures are fascinatingly poised. Southgate seems finally to have used up his goodwill with supporters; Norwich’s result will haunt them for decades and heap pressure on one of the most popular figures ever associated with the club while the more successful County are the more likely bigger clubs are to come courting Sven’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL LEAGUE ONE ODDS….5/2 Leeds; 7/1 Charlton; 8/1 Huddersfield; 10 MK Dons; 12 Norwich; 14 Brighton; Colchester; Millwall; 16 Brentford; 25 Southampton; 33 Gillingham.

LEAGUE TWO…3/1 Notts Co; 6/1 Rotherham; 10/1 Bournemouth; 11/1 Shrewsbury; 14 Bury; Northampton; Rochdale.

WILL UNITED BEN START ENGLAND’S FIRST WORLD CUP FINALS MATCH?
WITH BEN FOSTER likely to get the nod to replace injured Edwin van der Saar in Manchester United’s goal, William Hill are offering him at 7/1 to start in goal for England when they play their first match of the 2010 World Cup finals.Team-mate Michael Owen is 6/4 with Hills to get in the World Cup squad, 1/2 not to, and both will hope to do well in the Community Shield this weekend for which Hills make Chelsea 8/11 favourites to lift the trophy with United at Even money.
Owen is 7/4 to score in 90mins play, 6/1 to open the scoring and 10/1 to net two or more.
90 minute odds: 17/10 United; 2/1 draw; 7/5 Chelsea.
