Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 8

Recommended Posts

Here we go with week eight of

this increasingly exciting Rays funds season. Last week I said we were due a

change of luck and Bor & 93vintage, with another great effort from all you

PUPs, added another

£54 meaning we have raised £600 since the last presentation in March. I was

chuffed with this. Not least because we’d met with the DS players on Saturday

morning and it was obvious those girls and boys have taken us PUPs into their

hearts. I promised them more funding and you guys delivered just like you

always do.

 

 

 

This week we

have Cityangel in charge of picking the final six matches. She’s been part of

PUPs since Ray’s time and I know she’s desperate to get her name on Ray’s

signature of fame. Diane is not just a top picker but also another who supports

us at presentations and meets. She was with us last Saturday and did a great

job or representing all you PUPs who live away and can’t make these get

togethers. Diane’s been spending a lot of time getting this new fan’s social

club up and running. She is really enthusiastic and I’m happy for any help I

can give her. She deserves the venture to be a success and I’m sure it will be.

Just as I’m sure we will see Cityangel proudly displayed on Rays signature. So

let’s all try and make that happen this week by giving Diane 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 another PUPette with ClareW in charge and making the final

selections for the Norwich game away at West Ham on Saturday. Clare joined us

this season and has taken to these threads like a duck to water! She’s made

some great selections so far and I reckon she’ll be a great asset to us. I’ve

got to know Clare a lot more because she has been working beside Diane with equal

enthusiasm trying to get the fans social club established. She also deserves it

to be a success and with these two ladies as the driving force I believe it will be.

Believe it or not I didn’t plan for these two to be in charge together this

week. It was pure chance after I had to make changes to the rota. But there

have been loads of happy coincidences on our threads over the years and I have

a feeling that this is a really good omen. Good luck Clare, you can make up to

ten final selections from PUPs suggestions and your own for our match against West

Ham. We have a tenner to spend and it’s up to you how you divide it up. If you’re

not sure of anything just ask on here or message me.

 

 

 

I made a mistake on the rota’s last week and had Swindon down to be in

charge of both sets of selections next weekend. Although he’s capable I don’t

expect him to do that. Apologies to Snake Eyes but it should be you next week.

Please let me know with your selection. You too Winky. Here it is again : -

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 Diane and Clare... the thread is

yours.......[:)]............

Good luck to Cityangel & Clare, and of course all other PUPs.

Chelsea will come good against a chaotic Newcastle, odds of 8/13 seem generous even considering their recent travails.For the Norwich match, half time West Ham, full time draw at 12/1 seems decent.Good luck one and all!

Well done to Vintage 93 and Bor Bor Bor for their excellent sifting of PUP picks.Going through a bad trot with my picks so do feel free to ignore them.Portugese Premeira Liga - Monday game - Rio Ave vs Academia - home win at 5/8City bets are always tough to pick as there are few clues as to who will score and win/lose/draw odds offer little on single bets. Will stick with Brady to score as he likes a long shot (as do I with a bet) and couple that with a City win of 1-0 at 60/1Best of luck to CityAngel and ClareW

Thank you Eddie for such a warm introduction. You''re right I am desperate after all these years to get my name on the winners list but I also keen to make some money for our wonderful csf charity so hopefully my picks will achieve both.

As you regulars will have noticed I haven''t done too well the past two weeks so I''m going to need all the help you can give me and more lol so keep the picks coming. I''m listing them all down and will go through them and make my final pick Friday night around 8pm ish.

Good luck to my friend ClareW with her ncfc selections, I''m confident she''ll do well for us this week.

This might be a potential banana skin but CHELSEA to win away at Newcastle United please.
Norwich bet: with no Jarvis I guess BRADY will go to left wing, so BRADY to score at any time please.
Good luck to you all.

Going back to 2000/01, West Ham have only won four league games in a row on 4 occassions, including a 5 in a row in 2006 (3 were home games). At home they seem to have a okayish/mixed record, but haven''t had many draws after having had 2 in April.With the above in mind, a double chance on a Norwich win or draw @ 3/4 looks a pretty solid choice, the bet only loses if we lose the game. There could also be milage in backing a range of HT/FT''s which have Norwich win or draw at FT.A bread and butter bet would be West Ham to get most corners @ 8/15. Another would be over 1.5 goals @ 2/7.A small bet on Mbokani to score last and/or Brady anytime (he may well take the free kicks) would seem reasonable.Total cards is an interesting one, the Hammers have had 11 yellows plus 3 reds in 7 league and league cup games. With both teams looking to play football, and West Ham probably wanting to cool it a bit after getting 5 yellows in their last two, I''d stick a small amount on there being under 4.5 cards @ 4/6. A similar strategy would have paid off vs Liverpool.Good luck ClareW.

As for the Match bet, I think guarding against over-attacking over-confidence will be important this week.

Not negativity, but retaining solidity with a regular threat. Feeling that Wes starting to enjoy shooting and scoring, so Wes to score a good bet (particularly as he takes penalties and we haven''t had one yet).

So how about something very specific, such as Wes to score a penalty in a 1-1 draw?

This week, I''m heading into League One where I fancy second-from-top Walsall will beat second-from-bottom Crewe.For the Norwich bet, I think it could be a decent game so three or more goals to be scored seems quite likely.Good luck Diane, Clare (good to see you both last Saturday at the DS team''s training session) and all PUPs.
