Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 21

[nutty nigel 7,509]

Welcome to week twenty one of

our Rays Funds season. I’m a day early to give everyone a chance to get their

selections in before Christmas. This week we have Herman in charge of the six

games and making those selections. Herman’s a really consistent PUP who is

always near the top of our league. Last season Herman finished with 79%. This

season he’s doing even better with 84% correct selections. I am always very

grateful for Herman’s support on the thread while the games are being played.

His PUP power has got us through on quite a few occasions. One of my favourite

posters too, especially on the match thread where his dry comments always bring

a smile. It’s up to you Herman when you want the selections in by this weekend.

I can pick them up anytime before Saturday morning.

 

Herman will need your best

selections from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed

on the William Hill or Bet 365 web sites. Obviously that includes two rounds of

fixtures so please be careful to make

sure they are listed as obviously the selections will be made and put on

before the first round of games on Boxing Day.

 

Graham Humphrey

is making the Norwich selections for the game at Tottenham on Boxing Day. Graham is going to select on Christmas Eve.

Graham is one of our original PUPs who has stuck with us from the very start.

He’s a top picker who has already won with the six games so is looking for a

signature double with the match bets this week. He’s also regular at all our

social gatherings and I enjoyed his company at the U21 game last night. Graham,

you have a tenner to spend however you please from the PUPs selections and your

own.

 

The January

rotas are just about all confirmed now. I’m just waiting on Legend Iwan for the Norwich bet January

16^th.

 

 

I hope you PUPs

have a wonderful Christmas. Have fun and stay safe.

 

 

 

 

Now I’ll hand the thread over to Herman and Graham Humphrey. 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 Stefan and Graham ... the thread

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

A very good evening to you Nutty and obviously wishing good luck to Herman ( and boy is going to need it looking at the fixtures ) not forgetting Mr.Chicago himself and all you other lovely PUPs out there.Off to Japan and a silly o clock kick off on Sunday and a HOME WIN for GAMBA OSAKA v Tosu.For the Norwich game at Spurs i fancy a draw.Merry Crimbo everybody.

[Hissing Sid 154]

A Boxing Day offering from the Prem for me

Man City to win at home vs Sunderland

For the match bet, HT/FT Draw/Draw

Best of luck Herman and Graham, and all you PUPs.

And a very Happy Christmas to one and all.

[Duncan Edwards 2,219]

Bournemouth vs PALACE - Away Win.

I still reckon Bournemouth probably aren''t very good and despite their recent good form/fortune I fancy Palace can turn them over much like they did us. At 2/1 I think it''s a decent punt.

For Norwich...1-1.

Good luck everyone.

Cheers Nutty, thanks for the intro. I will get my picks in by Saturday morning at the latest.

[ca 1]

Man City to beat Sunderland for me please

For Norwich I fancy Jerome to score another one

Good Luck Herman and Graham, hope you both win

Happy Xmas Pups, have a great time

[Guest]

I don''t envy Herman getting this week as the christmas games can throw up somestrange results. Staying in the UK I''ll go with...Rochdale....Home win.Good luck Herman on what can be an unpredictable period.[Y]

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219]

My uncle lives in Oman. He hasn''t given me any kind of tip because he''s reclusive. He''s taught me a lot. Mostly about what not to do.

He won''t be celebrating Christmas really, but I will:

Al Oruba vs Muscat - Home win allah''akhbar...

Muscat nice, though prefer a nice Sauternes or some rather delicious Elysium (bought a bottle yesterday...will drink with some cheese and a rather fine elderflower jelly shipped over from la bell''Italia...

In bocca al lupo Herman...fai il bravo, ci serve no?..

Parma 🎄🎄😍😍😘😊😊🙅🙅🎉🎉💁💁🍝🍝🐾🏆🏆😻🇮🇹⛳️

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219]

For the Norwich bet I''m going to listen to my dad, who assured that spurs are always shit at Christmas and have a long-standing drinking culture...they always lose on Boxing Day apparently...

Based on nothing more than love and trust in my father, I''m going for a 2-1 win to Norwich....

Parma 🎼🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹💰💰💰🐕🐕👏😘😘😘😘😊💁🎄🙅🙅

[YankeeCanary 0]

Forest Green to beat Kidderminster.

A Happy and Healthy Christmas to Each and Everyone!!

[Lessingham Canary 99]

Merry Christmas one and all, have a great festive season.

National League for me Cheltenham to win away at Kidderminster.

And for the City bet Jerome to score, and take his run to 2 !

Best of luck pickers, tough week, but the shrewd will prevail I''m sure.

[SwindonCanary 455]

It''s Manchester City to win against Sunderland for me  and the Norwich bet I''m thinking/hoping we can get a draw [URL=http://s107.photobucket.com/user/SwindonCanary/media/tweety%20christmas.gif.html][IMG]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/SwindonCanary/tweety%20christmas.gif[/IMG][/URL]

[93vintage 16]

Brentford to ruin Hughton''s xmas with their new manager delivering a home win on Boxing Day.

[AJ 1,218]

Hi all, and a Merry Christmas to everyone on of you especially Nutty for keeping this great thing going and not even that but growing too.

My pick this week is a trip to league one and a regional derby between bottom Colchester, who are shipping goals and sinking like the titanic, and Southend who have got themselves up to 7th just outside the playoff places. Southend have struggled to score goals this season, but have scored 9 goals in their past 3 games and I would imagine they''ll be up for adding to that tally against struggling Colchester who have lost their last 7 in a row. Whilst this isn''t a dead cert it has brilliant odds of 2.4 so would help boost the profit.

Good luck Herman!

Now Graham, I shall do my best to be a helpful cause to make you a double winner with our match bet. A score draw is looking quite nice at 5.5

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and as always, good luck everyone!

[Feedthewolf 4,844]

Picking an away team on Boxing Day is bold-bordering-on-stupid, but I was so impressed with Arsenal against Citeh on Monday, I would back them to dispose of a stuttering Southampton quite comfortably. Given the form differential, offering odds against seems exceeding generous in this season of goodwill.Southampton v ARSENAL – away win (circa 21/20).Good luck Herman, massively tough week!For the Norwich game, I just don''t see a no-show after the United game. We''re 6/1 to win the match, which I think is terrific odds. I''d pile on that. If you''re feeling adventurous, any scorecasts involving Hoolahan or Brady and 2-1, 3-1 or 3-2 wins would give huge returns for a tiddly stake...

[Mr Apples 1,317]

I''ll be festive and go to Turkey for Fenerbahçe vs. Sivasspor (home win) on Monday.

 

For the City bet I''ll go for Ryan Bennett to score anytime.

 

Season''s greetings and best wishes to one and all!

 

Apples 

[JF 694]

I''m not going to lie, this is a risky pick!

St Truiden to beat Oh Leuven in the Belgium pro league. Best odds at 2.20

Norwich bet is Harry Kane any time goal scorer

[R Mellie 0]

Tricky week, but I fancy Plymouth to see off Yeovil in League two - HOME win please for Plymouth.

For the Norwich bet, I''d be delighted with a Norwich away win.

Best wishes all, and good luck to all pups of course.

[lake district canary 4,531]

Merry Christmas to all PUPs everywhere. Championship for me, Derby to beat Fulham, please.For the Norwich bet, Mbokani to score in a 2-1 away win.Good luck all.

[93vintage 16]

I can only see us getting turned over against Spurs, but both teams to score and over 2.5 goals look good choices.

[Cosmic Twin 185]

Looks like I''m in total agreement with Mr Apples!

I''m going for a home win for Fenerbahce v. Sivasspor. Fenerbahce are W6 D2 L0 F13 A5 at home and Sivasspor are W1 D2 L5 F6 A12 away.

Good Luck, Herman!

As for the Norwich bet ~ sticking with Ryan Bennett to score any time!

Good Luck, Graham!

A very Merry Christmas to all PUPs!

[nutty nigel 7,509]

Fenerbahce v Sivasporr home win Turkish super Lig Monday

Good luck Hermon you are a great PUP.

For City I think we can win again on Boxing Day so City to win for me.

Good luck Graham and Happy Christmas to you all.

[wooster 134]

Good luck everyone and a happy Christmas.

I don''t think I''ve picked a draw all season but I''m fairly confident Villa v West ham (at 21/10) will happen.  (I think a 0-0 at 15/2 is possible but don''t want to push my luck.)

For the Norwich game I hope Parma is right but, so as not to jinx it, I''m going for a score draw (at 9/2).

[Statto28 0]

Anderlecht win for me please  As always heres hoping for both a PUPs and City win    A very Merry Christmas to you all
