nutty nigel 7,534 Posted October 14, 2015 Welcome to week eleven of our Rays Funds season. After the bad luck of the last few weeks we have a great chance of getting back to winning ways with our accumulator because this week it’s Vindo in charge and picking the six. Vindo has already won twice in successive season’s so is on for a personal hat-trick of final six wins. Just the man for the job and to get revenge for the unlucky pickers over the last few weeks. Vindo is having another super season with 8/10 80% wins. He’s really consistent following on from last season’s 29/37 78%. So we’re in very safe hands. Vindo will need all our help though so let’s find him our very best selection from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend and listed on the William Hill or Bet365 web site. We have our Norwich match bet back this week with another of our first season PUPs Van Wink in charge of spending our Anonymous Benefactor’s tenner. Winky has taken to the thread like a duck to water and has 6/7 86% since he joined. Of course this is different because we’re looking for predictions for our game at Newcastle on Sunday. Good luck Winky, you can split the tenner up however you like from the PUPs suggestions or your own. If you’re not sure of anything just ask on the thread. Good luck buddy. This will also be a special weekend for our Downes Syndrome boys and girls because the Community Sports Foundation are taking them up to ‘The Toon’ on Saturday and they play a fixture against Newcastle on Sunday morning. Remember it’s your efforts on these threads that help make these things possible. Here''s a picture from when the boys and girls got their new shirts a few weeks ago : I’ve provisionally done our rota for November. Please confirm with your selections. If the dates aren’t possible also let me know and I’ll make changes : - Final Six 07/11 Yellowfuture 14/11 Purple 21/11 Splutcho 28/11 Hissing Sid Norwich Match 07/11 Legend Iwan 14/11 Internationals 21/11 Redders Right Foot 28/11 Snake Eyes I’ll hand the thread over to Vindo and Van Wink now. Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you to success. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for the Community Sports Foundation. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Kev and Winky... the thread is yours.......

Mr Angry 1,561 Posted October 15, 2015 I fancy Man City to beat Bournemouth, the rather generous odds of 3/10 perhaps reflect City''s recent injury problems more than anything else.For the Norwich bet, I don''t feel confident of a win but think there will be a few goals so hope for a 2-2 draw.Good luck to all PUPs, especially Vindo and VanWink, and extra special luck to the CSF team for their match.

93vintage 16 Posted October 16, 2015 Top of the league Fiorentina have gone 17 games without a draw. This week they''re away at Napoli who are quite decent at home and have picked up after a poorish start. Twist my arm and I''d say that Napoli are most likely to win, but conditions are ripe for both teams to cancel each other out, hence I''m going for a Napoli vs Fiorentina draw @ 11/4.I''d also tend to favour a draw in the Newcastle vs Norwich game, but it might be worth using our knowledge of Norwich''s away form to go for some kind of Norwich win or draw scenario. Newcastle will probably want to tighten things up, so I''d suggest backing total goals under 3.5 and under 2.5 at a ratio of at least 3:1.Good luck Vindo and Vanwink.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 16, 2015 Don''t often go away from home, but fancy an away win for Burton in League 1, so - Feetwood v Burton, away win. For Norwich, 2-0 away win, Mbokani to score either goal. Good luck all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
