EVRA AND SUAREZ 6/5 TO SHAKE HANDS PRE-MATCH THIS WEEKEND

WLLIAM HILL offer 8/13 that Evra and Suarez will NOT shake hands pre-match at this weekends Manchester United v Liverpool Premier League match. Assuming the FA does not decide to ban the pre-match handshake, we think the two will fail to sake hands said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NOW 11/1 NEITHER TERRY OR CAPELLO TO GO TO EUROS

William Hill offer 7/4 that John Terry will fail to be included in Englands final Euro 2012 squad as the controversy over losing the captaincy continues to dog him and Fabio Capello. And Hills have also cut their odds about Capello stepping down from his role before Euro 2012 from 9/2 to 7/2 offering 1/6 that he will still be in charge when the tournament kicks off.
There is plenty of punting support about for Capello and Terry to miss out on the Euros and we offer 11/1 that NEITHER of them will go said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill are offering 4/1 that pre-match handshakes will be scrapped officially in Premier League matches before the start of next season.

Hills had offered 1/5 that Evra and Suarez WOULD shake hands, and 10/3 that they would not. ‘Punters called the pre-match handshake wrong on this occasion’ said Sharpe.
After Rio Ferdinand refused to shake hands with Suarez, Hills are offering 11/4 that he and John Terry will NOT start in the same Euro 12 side for England.

Anton Backed To Snub Terry On Saturday…

BOOKIES FACE BEING SHOOK UP BY HANDSHAKE SHENANIGANS

William Hill have seen a plunge on the odds of Anton Ferdinand snubbing John Terry during the pre match handshakes with the no odds backed in from 11/10 to 8/11. We have seen a number of three figure bets, the majority of which have come from the East End of London and if Mr Ferdinand fails to shake Terrys hand, we could be all shook up, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Anton Ferdinand shake John Terrys Hand: 8/11 no; 1/1 yes

WILL BELLAMY GIVE BOYHOOD TEAM THE BLUES AT WEMBLEY?

Craig Bellamy has claimed that it will be emotional playing for Liverpool against his boyhood side Cardiff City and William Hill are offering 4/9 that he starts the match at Wembley next month (13/8 he does not). He is 5/4 to bag a goal in the final and 20/1 to see red.

MEGSON COULD GET TROTTERS REVENGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

Gary Megson has reignited his war of words with Bolton Wanderers and William Hill think that he could well get the chance to face up against his former employers sooner rather than later, offering 3/1 that the two teams play each other in the Championship next season. Bolton are 5/6 to be relegated, while Sheffield Wednesday are 11/10 to gain promotion from League 1.

Should the teams face each other next season, Hills are offering 40/1 that Megson receives a red card and is sent to the stands.

There will be no love lost between Megson and the Bolton fans and he will be sure to be on the receiving end of a bit of stick which could see him lose his rag and be banished to the stands, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill offer 9/4 that Arsene Wenger will again refuse to shake hands with Mark Hughes when Arsenal entertain Manchester City in their second Premier League game later this season – and are offering 11/10 that he will again refuse to shake hands with Hughes or any other manager during the rest of the season in any competitive first team game.
‘Arsene has an answer for everything, but he had the grace to look just a little embarrassed when trying to justify not shaking hands with Mark Hughes on Wednesday night’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We think the chances are he will make sure that nothing similar happens again this season.’

To start in the 1st leg Man City v Man Utd:
Rooney 4/9 no 13/8
Berbatov 8/11 no EVS yes
Giggs 2/5 no 7/4 yes
***MANCHESTER UNITED are 6/4 favourites for the Carling Cup with William Hill who make Man City 5/2 second favourites, with Villa 11/4 and Blackburn 9/2 outsiders.
