Following England’s easy World Cup quarter-final win over Sweden, we’ve had to once again slice the odds on manager Gareth Southgate being knighted.

Our traders now make it just 6/4 that the boss is honoured in the New Year’s honours list at the end of the year – a price which was 6/1 before the Sweden game, and a whopping 250/1 before the tournament began!

Captain Harry Kane is in pole position to win the Golden Boot at the tournament (1/8 fav) and is himself 10/1 to be knighted.

Now, with ‘It’s Coming Home’ fever in full-swing, the Three Lions are the 5/2 second-favourites behind France to win the competition. And, it’s 1/5 that Three Lions will be UK Number One in the Singles Chart for July 2018.

Our spokesman Paddy Power said: “It’s amazing how it’s gone from ‘It’s Coming Home!’ to, erm… ‘You know what lads, it might ACTUALLY be coming home’ in the space of a couple of weeks.

“Now England are in the semi-finals, it’s so close you fell like you could reach out and take it. And now, it looks like Southgate could be on for a knighthood. Get your waistcoats at the ready!”
