Ray 111 Posted May 15, 2015 Hi All,A copy of what I have just sent directly to Nutty below;Hi Nutty, Hope you are well? This time tomorrow we will be approaching half time, we will be 2 – 0 up, Seb would have netted the first and Russ the second, they would have been awarded a penalty but Big John will have saved it, so we will already be £45 up on the day, of course we will go on to win the second half 2 – 1, meaning we have won 4 –1 and won both halves, get in all round. Wembley here we come and our winnings = £81.40. So, as below. Cheers Ray £1 on 1st Goal Scorer = SB @ 33:1 (hasn’t scored this season so is due one) £2 on RM to score at any time @ 9:2 (another screamer would do and Nutty’s nap) £1 on NCFC to win both halves @17:5 (fancy this is definitely on the cards) £1 on NCFC to win 4 – 1 @ 33:1 (as good a guess as any and pays well) £1 on A penalty to be awarded @ 3:1 (there always seems to be a penalty at these types of games?)

For what it''s worth, I think a nervy 3-2 City win tomorrow Gutted I can''t be there tomorrow due to work, but I''ll see you all at Wembley!Leedscanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,585 Posted May 15, 2015 Yes that''s great sentiments Kev. It would be nice for Ray to win and get his name on Ray''s signature. And I''m sure the two Rays would have got on well together. Thank you for all these brilliant picks Tilly, Chelle, Purple, Lapps, Mandie, Yellowfuture and Ray. I think we have a magnificent chance of adding to the pot on this momentus weekend. Now I''ve rooted through the pockets of my old clothes, down the sofa, under the bed and in the bottom of Mrs nutty''s handbag and have cobbled together enough money to double these bets. I''ve placed the six-pack selections with Bill Hill and the potential return is £87.22. And I''ve placed the Norwich selections to our best advantage. Here are the details of both bets: - Bayer Leverkusen 4/9 2:30 Sat YellowF Rosenborg 1/7 5:00 Sat Purple Monaco 1/5 8:00 Sat Mandie Rangers 8/15 3:30 Sun Lapps Porto 2/11 6:00 Sun Tilly Roma 3/10 7:45 Sun Chelle 1st Goal Scorer = S. Bassong £2.00 Bill Hill 33/1 £68.00 R. Martin to score any time £4.00 Bet 365 11/1 £48.00 NCFC to win both halves £2.00 Bet 365 4/1 £10.00 NCFC to win 4 – 1 £2.00 Bill Hill 33/1 £68.00 A penalty to be awarded £2.00 Bill Hill 3/1 £8.00 Have to admit I''m getting nervous now but still really looking forward to the game tomorrow. A play-off win would cap a marvelous season for our beloved club and a Rays Funds win would cap a marvelous season for us PUPs. So even more than ever here''s hoping for a City win and a PUPs win[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted May 16, 2015 sorry it''s late, but although I feel we will be too good for them on the day, our ability to concede soft goals concerns me. I will take a norwich 3-1 win AETbut hope we have a comfortable afternoon and can actually enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,585 Posted May 16, 2015 Brilliant Ray!!! I was so willing a fourth goal or a goal from Russ and forgot about the pen!!! Getting old!

Ray 111 Posted May 17, 2015 My critique of my performance!Well overall a small loss and in hindsight there is probably a reason why Seb hasn''t scored all season, so having him as the first goal scorer may have been somewhat fanciful.Russ to score at any time, close but no cigar, a shot cleared off the line, which had it gone in would have also brought home the NCFC to win both halves.Spot on with the pen, so all good there.4 - 1 at 33/1, so very close and perhaps should have been but if my auntie was my uncle, etc.etc.Thorougly enjoyed the PUPS experience and of course the match, although I thought in the first half we got sucked in to playing the high ball game, which suited them. It appears AN sorted that out at half time and then our true abilities shone through.One thing I was not too sure about was the fact that Whitts/Jerome were almost playing the right wing role and young Nathan appeared inside more often than I would have liked, but hey it worked but my preference would still be for Redders to hog the touchline, skin the fulback and cross, still what do I know?All I can add is, bring on Middlesborough, we owe them one.

The shot from Martin that was cleared off the line. The chance for Jerome so it would have been 4-1. But it was a great shout re the penalty so we have more money in the bank. I never believe we make a loss! The stakes are freely given so I see any return as a profit. A profit to add to the wonderful togetherness and community spirit we all enjoy through taking part. And the biggest win of all from your picks is that our group has gained a quality PUP moving forward.
