Well done Inchy

Legia Warsaw home win in Poland this week. Good luck Inchy and all PUPs MC

[quote user="nutty nigel"] A great performance by all this week. It was a difficult week but you PUPs managed to dig deep and find some great selections for the unlucky Mr Bump. 　 55 PUPs selected this week with 44 correct making a success rate of 80%. We gave Mr Bump 24 different selections to consider of which 18 were correct which was a strike rate of 75%.   Mr Bump lost his perfect record with Anderlecht leaving Jed Exodus, and Statto with perfect 100% records. Broadslim is sitting just behind with his 100% record. There’s a whole host of PUPs on 92% hot on the leaders heels. 　 Here is that league table showing those PUPs with over 50% correct from at least 50% of the available weeks. 　 Jed Exodus 13-13 100 Statto 13-13 100 Nflkbroadslim 12-12 100 Dogger 12-13 92 Fonejacker 12-13 92 Hughesy 12-13 92 Kathy 12-13 92 Mr. Bump 12-13 92 NCFCStar 12-13 92 Til 1010 12-13 92 Trent Canary 12-13 92 SD - Pete 11-12 92 Legend Iwan 9-10 90 Twitchy 9-10 90 Beauseant 11-13 85 Devon 11-13 85 Fellas 11-13 85 Graham H 11-13 85 Herman 11-13 85 I''m A Banana 11-13 85 Norfolkchance1 11-13 85 methcanary 11-13 83 Davo 10-12 83 Scooby 10-12 83 Duncan 7-9 78 Chelle 10-13 77 Cityangel 10-13 77 Ginger Pele 10-13 77 GMF 10-13 77 Leedscanary 10-13 77 PurpleCanary 10-13 77 Yankee Canary 10-13 77 Inch High 9-12 75 Shack Attack 9-12 75 Cosmic Twin 9-13 69 Excited Canary 9-13 69 Hissing Sid 9-13 69 Mister Chops 9-13 69 SWP=PMRF 9-13 69 Boyo 6-9 67 NWC 6-9 67 Shyster 6-9 67 Diesel Doris 8-13 62 Mear Kat 8-13 62 Muddy funster 8-13 62 Newyorkcanary 8-13 62 nutty nigel 8-13 62 Jellytot 6-10 60 Rob Sims 6-10 60 Mandie Moo 7-12 58 Gregt 6-11 55 1st Wazzock 7-13 54 Splutcho 5-10 50 Bore Bore Bor 4-8 50 Ruddy Future 4-8 50 [/quote]

Although Sheffield Wednesday''s recent FA Cup record is about as good as ours, I still fancy them to beat Aldershot this weekend. So i''m with Nana and a win for the Owls. Good luck Mr Bump and all PUPs MC

Should look before I pick, didn''t see that Herman''s already suggested this and posted the stats, but it''s a good''un so i''ll stick with it.

Kobenhavn to win at home against bottom club Koge in Denmark on Sunday. The Stats - - - Kobenhavn - W11 D2 L3 and are top. Koge - W1 D3 L12. Kobenhavn win is currently 1/6 with Bet365. Good luck Hughsey and all Elite PUPs MC

[quote user="I am a Banana"][quote user="Sports Desk Pete"]Bit of a gamble this week. Not picked them for a month but it''s back to Barcelona. [/quote] AND THE STATS ARE TO FOLLOW...? [/quote] Everyone knows your opinion, and I do, in the main, tend to agree with what you have said over the last few weeks, but please let it go now Nana, it''s becoming scarily obsessive. Cheers MC

I''m with Scooby this week and a win for Dinamo Kiev. Good luck Lapps and all PUPs MC

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]didn''t even know England were playing yesterday! who scored?[/quote] They did!!!!!!

Well done DDD.

Going for a game on Monday(just because it''s my birthday) Brazil to win against Egypt. Good Luck DDD and all PUPs MC

Was very tempted by Purple''s Uzbekistan tip!!!, but decide in the end to go for the slightly less obscure Danish league and Kobenhavn to win at home against second from bottom Lyngby. Good luck PurpleCanary and all PUPs MC

Sorry it''s late, been away. Anderlecht to win for me. MC

TNS home win for me this week. Good luck Chellecity and all PUPs MC

Poland this week and Slask to win away at one from bottom Belchatov. Slask are top with a 6-1-2 record and Belchatov have a 1-2-6 record. Oddschecker shows Slask at 11/8 at the moment. Good luck 3MK and all PUPs MC

After two successive draws in games between runaway leaders and no-hopers, this week i''m going for Portugal to win at home against Iceland!!!After a dodgy start with a draw against Cyprus and a loss in Norway, Portugal now have a 4-1-1 record, and are joint top with Denmark. Iceland have four points from seven games and those points were from a home win and away draw against Cyprus, who are bottom of Group H. Good luck Herman and all PUPs MC

Off to Finland this week and it''s second placed FC Inter Turku to win at home against bottom club RoPS Rovaniemi who have a won 1 drawn 1 lost 11 away record this season. FC Turku haven''t lost at home this season but have drawn 5 of their 14 games. Their last three home games have been drawn so they are due a win at home. Odds are currently 1/6 on a home win with BET365. Good luck SWP and all PUPs MC

Nice little one from Israel this week. Top of the table Hapoel Tel-Aviv who have won 4 and drawn 1 so far this season with a plus eight goal difference to win at home against third from bottom Hapoel Haifa who have lost all five games so far this season and have a minus seven goal difference. Good luck NCFCStar and all PUPs MC

[quote user="Yellow Shirt"][quote user="Chelmsford Canary"]Watching Man City vs Napoli at moment. They have the two extra officials behind goal line. Is this another possible for league games as well as European? Its proved to be success in Europa League if its now in Champs League too. If they do not like tv in dugouts and managers hassling the 4th official, i''m no expert, but it can''t be hard to have a 4th official as usual, and then have a "TV judge" in an enclosed area within stadium who watchs game, and is linked to ref on pitch? This again is something else which happens in rugby! I might go on about it a lot - but rugby has much less controversy than football. Other than the kick that wasn''t at the world cup this weekend[/quote] The goal line officials are a joke and a huge waste of time and money- watch the whole game and then see if either do anything- I''ve watched many games with them in and not seen one get involved yet. The pecking order seems to be Ref then 4th official then linesmen and thengoal line officials. Pointless. The comparisons to Rugby are unfortunately worthless. Football referees are a bunch of t@ssers who want to be mates with John Terry while in Rugby the officials are the proud guardians of the sport. In Rugby the players respect the referee''s role- just like in Cricket and Tennis. They know that Rugby is a sport that prides itself on being hard but fair and played by grown ups. In football the players are superior to the referee, they believe it and so do the referees. The players are also allowed to get away with back chat to the referees and worse. I''m not just talking about Rooney etc Huckerby was always at it so is Holt. Unless football takes a genuine stand- not a pathetic ''respect'' campaign that involves nothing more than a banner and a badge on a sleeve to pro players- football will always have this cr@p. FIFA doesn''t want to undermine the referees but they do it to themselves by putting up with the players antics. If somebody swears at you send them off. If somebody is aggressive towards you book them. If somebody questions your decision book them. BUT DO IT EVERY TIME! It will stop in three weeks. THEN- when the referee has the genuine respect of the players- based on fear of consequences, training a human is just like training any other animal, then FIFA can bring in the technology to aid the referee- probably best to be done in conjunction with a referral system like tennis and cricket- only the captain or manager can ask for a referral and they loose one every time they are wrong. All the time saved by idiotic protests and flapping mouths will more than make up for a few referrals to the video ref per match. You might even be able to attract some ex pros (in the conjunction with a fast track scheme) into refereeing or at the very least some sensible human beings rather than the bunch of matey wannabe pedants that 99% of modern referees are. As for who the extra official should be... pro matches have referees assessors at them- they can do that job even better with a video screen so why not just have them do the job- the cost is virtually nil to all league games in the UK. Watching this Man City vs Napoli game though maybe we can just clone this ref- seems totally in control. [/quote] Great post Yellow Shirt, totally agree with you. If you are the ref and Rooney etc come running at you swearing and hurling abuse then just  flash a yellow card at them or even a red card. Like you say it will stop within a few weeks. Then the ref has control and can focus his mind on the game completely and maybe it will help cut out some of the poor decisions being made at the moment.

I''ll go for Dinamo Zagreb to win as well please. They are now showing on Stan James at 1/12 to win, which is about what you would expect for a top v bottom game with Varazdin having just one point from a home draw in seven games and Zagreb having a perfect 4 from 4 at home and still unbeaten after seven games. Good luck Scooby and all PUPs MC

50/1

Salzburg to win away at Kapfenberger in the Austrian Bundesliga for me this week. It''s good to be back as others have said before. Good luck Gingerpele and all PUPs old and new. MC

[quote user="ziggy"]IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT GET HIM IN , HE RUNS & RUNS & RUNS ! AND KNOWS WHERE THE NET IS . SAME WITH CODY , KEEP HIM AND GIVE HIM A GO . NOTHING AGAINST THEM BUT OLI J , WILLBA , AND CHRIS MARTIN DONT LOOK LIKE SCORING MANY . OTBC[/quote] As has been stated before, I think Cody may be part of the CMS deal.......if it happens.

The way I see it is that Bryan is a part of the history of our club both as a player and as a manager. Ok as a player he was excellent, in sales/marketing he was very good and as a manager he was rubbish, but had things not happened the way they did then we wouldn''t now have the most promising young manager in the country leading us into the premiership, simple as that.

Very, very funny : )
