nutty nigel 7,902 Posted January 27, 2016 Welcome to week twenty six ofour Rays Funds season. This week we have Graham Humphrey making the final sixselections. Graham has been with us from the very start and never misses aweek. He’s a very consistent picker and has won with these selections before.Graham’s on top form right now with 8 consecutive winning picks. He’s also beencoming to our social gatherings from the very start, is a fully fledged NelsonNumpty and is always on hand to keep me updated with the scores in the pubafter the game. So as you can see our Graham is a Rays Funds rock. He’s alsoone of those hardy souls who follows City home and away rarely missing a gameand also takes in the U21 and U18 games at carrow Road. I think he will get usback to winning ways after that ridiculously unlucky 5/6 last weekend. At leastthat means we have a £20 free bet this week thanks to Mandie and Nigelgenerously doubling last week’s bet. Let’s help Graham by giving our very bestsuggestions from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listedon the William Hill site. There’s no Norwichgame this weekend. It’s a shame because we are on a fantastic run with thesehaving achieved a return in each of the last 8 weeks. Emma emailed me earlier this week with the good news that we have a fixture for our wonderful DS teamon Saturday 6th February up at the FDC in Bowthorpe against Inspire Suffolk. Kick off is 11am, Emma asked me to spread the word aroundour group as you are more than welcome to come up and watch. The team wouldreally appreciate our support. I will be there to meet anyone who can make it. Now I’ll hand the thread over to Graham Humphrey. Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing ourbest to help you to success. We all stand together with the single aim ofraising money for the Community Sports Foundation. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Graham ... the thread isyours.......[:)].. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always Ileave you with Ray’s signature which now reads :-Carve theirnames with pride.Yankee,5,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork,2, Inch High,5,Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim,3,Norfolkchance1,2, Scooby,3, Trent Canary,3, Cosmic Twin,3, Graham Humphrey,Leedscanary,3, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox,2, Lappinitup,Statto, Mandie Moo,2, Mr Bump, Kathy,2, Til1010, Snake-eyes, Vindo,2, NWC,Hughesy, Gregt, GMF,2, SwindonCanary, Twidio, Hector Brockelbank, Lake DistrictCanary, Bor Bor Bor, Yellowfuture, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy,and £1237 for the Community Sports Foundation.

The Great Drinkell 51 Posted January 27, 2016 I''m giving the FA cup a wide berth this time around and going to league ! where a change of manager hasn''t effected Burton in any way and they should be to good for Rochdale and at 6/4 too.Rochdale V Burton away winGood luck Graham.

Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted January 27, 2016 I''ve been on shocking form recently, so I wouldn''t go with this unless you''re feeling obscenely confident – it''s more a calculated gamble to attempt to catapult myself up the profitability table!However, Birmingham are pretty strong away from home and going well after trouncing Ipsh*t recently, whereas Bristol City have only won three home games all season. So I''m going for an away win Bristol City v Birmingham, odds approximately 2/1.Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks everyone for their picks so far and to Eddie for giving me the chance to do this once again. It''s always good fun doing this but it would be even more fun if we can crack the six this week. Personally I have had one or two near misses in recent years, but hopefully with my own recent good form we can pull it out of the bag this time.Just want to point out that I''ll be doing my picks early on Friday - between 4 and 5 in fact - as I''m going out after work and anyone who knows me will know that never ends early, sober, or with any dignity. So that gives us all a bit less time, but there''s no reason why there shouldn''t be a decent selection to pick from all the same.I''ll be back Friday with my final six and my own pick for the week.

AJ 1,359 Posted January 28, 2016 A bit of a risk this week, but you don''t win something unless you risk a little bit!Rochdale vs Burton - Away win!Burton in great form and looking to stay at the top of the table, Rochdale not doing so good. Burton have won a few tricky away games of late including beating 2nd place Gillingham 3-0 on their own turf so I think they''re worth a risk.For the Norwich bet it''s hard to look away from Naismith scoring again.

[:D]Moving away from not so bonny Scotland which has served me so well in the past but has been a disaster this season. I''ll try my luck in the National League where Aldershot entertain basket case Kidderminster with just two wins all season.Aldershot v Kidderminster.......Home win.Good luck Graham.
