nutty nigel 7,351 Posted October 21, 2015 Welcome to week twelve of ourRays Funds season. This week we have AJ in charge and picking the six. AJ hashad two really unlucky 5/6s in the last two seasons so I’m really confidentthis will be a case of third time lucky. AJ’s having a brilliant season thistime. He’s got 9/11(82%) correct picks and is clear at the top of ourprofitability league with a massive £5.68 profit from his 11 selections to date.It’s AJ’s birthday this weekend too so we can give him some great presents withour very best selections from the games played on Sat/Sun/Monof this weekend and listed on the William Hill web site. It has to be William Hill this week because we havea free bet to use from Vindo’s unlucky 5/6 last weekend. The Norwichmatch this weekend is WBA at home. And making these selections we have a realRays Funds legend in Norfolkbroadslim. NBS has had three final selection winson the main bet and is our most consistent PUP over the years. We lost him fora while last year and I missed him greatly on here. But now he’s back and has10/10 (100%) winning selections in our PUPs league. Good luck Richard, you cansplit the tenner up however you like from the PUPs suggestions or your own. Our wonderful DS boys and girls drew their match at Newcastle 4-4 and I’vebeen told they played some fantastic football on the day. By the look of the picturesI’ve seen they had a great time too. The rota for November is nearly all confirmed. Just waiting for SnakeEyes : - Final Six07/11 Yellowfuture – confirmed.14/11 Purple – confirmed.21/11 Splutcho - confirmed.28/11 Hissing Sid - confirmed. Norwich Match07/11 Cityangel - confirmed.14/11 Internationals21/11 Redders Right Foot - confirmed.28/11 Snake Eyes I’ll hand the thread over to AJand Norfolkbroadslim now.

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,204 Posted October 21, 2015 Goodness me, couple of heavy hitters this week Nutella..going all out for the win eh? Nice strategy...I''d like to tell an interesting story about how and why I chose Hungary this week...a chance meeting with an old friend..a little bit of business..a feeling in my Anglian water......but truthfully it just looks a decent price for a highly likely result..so nothing clever, no philosophical reasoning..time for a win.. I''ll take my cue from Nutella:Diosgyori vs Ferencvarosi - away win 4/9As for the Norwich bet, we can be a little logical. All coaches revert to controllable factors in times of stress. This is typically shutting spaces, tight connections and a framework for a clean sheet.On the other hand humans in times of stress revert back to their deepest grooved neural pathways, what their overriding characteristics truly are...This could lead to a bit of conflict in Alex Neil and subsequently the team. I hope not.I''m going to go for a failed attempt to play for a clean sheet, followed by an attacking surge leading to a 1-1 draw.Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,789 Posted October 22, 2015 The very best of luck to the pair of you – I can feel a double win coming on this weekend.I''ve had more luck on the value picks recently, so I''m going to carry on looking for value until I fail again and need to get a couple of bankers under my belt. Despite their indifferent form of late, QPR are still above MK Dons in the form table and the table proper, have home advantage and still have Charlie Austin. Currently 21/20 with Bill Hill.For the Norwich match, I''m going to be insanely confident and predict a Mbokani hat-trick at 55/1. Why not? [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YankeeCanary 0 Posted October 23, 2015 Come on boys and girls! It''s Friday morning when you''re reading this and we''ve only managed 12 selections so far. I know you all want to help this very good cause and we can do that best by getting our picks in early ( rather than late ) so the final selectors have ample time to weigh all considerations.

93vintage 16 Posted October 23, 2015 For the Norwich match think back to the first game against Ipswich in the playoff semi. When Alex Neil wants to keep it tight he can, and I think we might see a win ugly strategy based on countering with long balls to Jerome/Mbokani.It''s a tough one to predict results-wise. With all that in mind I''d consider a few small individual bets on scorelines up to and including 2-1 (for either side), and under 2.5 goals @ 7/10 or under 3.5 @ 1/4.Total cards over 3.5 @ 8/13 looks a decent shot considering that Kevin Friend (5.75 cards/match) is in charge. West Brom have averaged 2.33 cards/game and Norwich are on a lull with only 1 card in their last three games. With both teams battling in what might be considered a six-pointer, conditions are ripe for Friend to become the players'' enemy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted October 23, 2015 Let me just add to the above, Kevin Friend''s PL career total is 3.78 cards/match. The 5.75 figure above is for this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
