Poland are not as good as their results suggest Splutch...they got unbelievably lucky against Germany and only drew at home against us with the help of a late equaliser... I don''t see the Rep losing to them at home, and actually from a Scots perspective could do with seeing a draw... But it is going to be really close this group...going to go to the last match I reckon.

Oh yyyyooouuuu absolute bbbeeeaaauuutttyyy!!! Thanks Russ and Whitts. Much drink will be taken in this house tonight! On top of that taken to get through the 90 minutes! Interestingly, once the next round of matches are played in this group it looks very much like Poland, Rep Ire, Scotland and Germany will all be on 10 points! This is going to be very close...

It''s the 7th round of the French cup this weekend. Tiny Auch take on Nimes of Ligue 2. Think Diss v Blackburn and you wouldn''t be far off. No idea of the odds but for Auch to win would be a major giant killing...

Well I never - Mandie autocorrects to amandine on an ipad!! Sorry Mandie!

[quote user="lake district canary"]Scottish Preiership for me please - Kilmarnock to beat Ross County. Norwich bet - think Pearce is on his way out of Notts Forest so to help him on his way and to rekindle our hopes, a stirring 3-0 to Norwich. [/quote] Ah - well done LDC! I think that''s the first time I have ever seen Killie tipped to win a match by a PUP!! If you had watched them lose to Dundee last week at home then you might not be so optimistic!! But I happen to agree with you that Killie might just win this one! For my pick this week I am going with Ingolstadt at the top of the 2te Bundesliga to beat Union Berlin. - although last time I picked them they let me down so this is their final chance! Ingolstadt are top of the league, unbeaten all season. Union are lower mid table with a dodgy away record... For the City bet, I foresee a draw, and probably a nervy match. So 1-1 for me. Good luck to everyone, especially amandine and Pauls

Bundesliga 3 for me My old home town team Osnabrueck, entertain bottom dwellers Sonnenhof. Osnabrueck are having a promising season and are generally strong at home, but even if they weren''t, it has to be said that Sonnenhof are dire with only 2 wins from 14 games all season and 5 defeats in hyper last 6 games. For the City game, I am going to buck the trend and go for a city clean sheet. Good luck Mr A and Wooster!

Getting in early this week! Fed up being late! Die dritte bundesliga for me this week. Top of the table Wehen - played 7 at home and won 6 - face Mainz 05 II - currently in one of the relegation places and with 1 win from 6 away games. Should be a slam dunk home win...famous last words! Good luck Kathy and Lakey and all the PuPs

Sorry guys. First chance I have had to get to this. As I am titling down with a VERY big bottle of wine before my tv to watch the Scotland game I shall go with my home nation to beat Georgia. At least I bloody hope so!

I love your picks Purple!!

OK then - thanks everyone for your help with this. There seem to be three consistent themes from the picks and all reflect my own thinking so lets go for them - can we have 2 quid on each please Nutty? 1 - Norwich to win 4-0 2 - Johnny Howson to cap off a return to the team with a goal 3 - Most of the goals to come in the second half so at least 2 goals in the second 45 minutes I hope these meet with PUPs approval, and if they come off we will be enjoying a happy Saturday! Good luck Jellytot!

Evening all Thanks for the tips everyone. Very much along my own lines of thinking - after Tuesday I am convinced someone is soon going to get an absolute spanking at Carrow Road, and why not Saturday! I will try to post my final selections tomorrow night if that''s ok Nutty? I will be at work till after 7 though so won''t be until around 9 I guess. For the full PUPs bet, my pick is from 2 Bundesliga, where I expect Ingolstadt (top of the table and unbeaten at home) to beat Eintracht Braunschweig (1 point from 4 away games so far this season) Good luck Jellytot

Oops! Just testing!! I will have a look for something else then! Just as well,given the result!

Ha! On time at last this week! Borussia Dortmund to beat bottom of the table Stuttgart at home. Stuttgart have a single point and a single goal from George first four games, and Dortmund is always a difficult place for anyone to go as Arsenal proved the other week. For The City bet, how about Norwich to win by 2 clear goals.

You forgot one! Wait till the final five minutes of a key league game and then decide to get up and leave without seeing how it ends, so you can ''avoid the crowds'' I really don''t get it. Why bother to go at all? Do these people buy a ticket for the cinema and get up and leave five minutes before the end? Might I suggest that if ''avoiding the crowds'' are something of an issue for you, then you may not be ready to attend live football matches played before a crowd of almost 30,000 people?? I suggest in this case going to watch Ipsh!t - no need to worry about their of crowds and also no likelihood of being over excited either. Sheesh! Rant over!

Sorry everyone... Late again. My tip for this week is as usual from Krautland, and this week is the Zweite bundesliga. Unusually, and riskily I am going for an away win this week, as bottom side Union Berlin host table toppers RB Leipzig. Good luck all
