Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 25

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Welcome to week twenty five of

our Rays Funds season. This week we have Mandie Moo’s Mear Kat making the final

six selections. MMMK is the unluckiest PUP ever in getting a final six win. His

four previous turns in the hot seat have each been scuppered by just one

result. With that record he clearly is very good at making the final picks and

it’s only sheer bad luck that Nigel’s not had the couple of wins his efforts

deserve. Not just a top PUP Nigel is also a top guy and was great company when

I travelled with him to that very special day at Wembley last year. I’m really

hoping he finally gets the rub of the green this weekend and we can help make

that happen by giving him our very best suggestions from the games played on

Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on the William Hill or Bet 365 web

sites.

 

YorkshirePudding

is making the Norwich match selections for the game against Liverpool on

Saturday. It’s great to be able to give the PUPs who join our group an early

chance to play a more active role. While the final six results are picked by

PUPs who finish in the top 40 of our main table these match picks give an

opportunity to other which was one of the aims of our anonymous benefactor to

whom I’m forever grateful. For the last few seasons we had a PUP called Gravy

Canary. Shame he’s left because I think he’d have got on famously with

YorkshirePudding. Yorkie, you have a tenner to spend in any way you like from

the suggestions made by the PUPs and your own.

 

Just waiting for Daz to confirm and the we’ll be all set for February.

 

 

Final six matches.

06/02 Cosmic twin    – Confirmed.

13/02 Gregt           - Confirmed.

20/02 Chellecity       -

27/02 Norfolkchance1 – Confirmed.

 

Norwich Match

06/02 JF – Confirmed.

13/02 Daz

20/02 No game

27/02 Kathy

 

 

Now I’ll hand the thread over to MMMK and YorkshirePudding. 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 Nigel and YorkiePud ... the thread

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

A very good evening to you Nutty and wishing good fortune to MMMK and YorkshirePudding ( i bet he loves gravy [;)] ) not forgetting all you other lovely PUPs out there.Off to Frogland and a HOME WIN for PSG v Angers.For the Norwich bet Naismith to score on his debut at anytime.Interesting to note that ChelleCity has not posted yet but following a conversation at Bournemouth last week i understand that once Hissing Sid has done his selection which he has just done he in fact helps with her pick so no doubt she will be along shortly. [:D]

[Guest]

Good Luck Yorkshire - hope you can both bring home the bacon 😃😃😃

[JF 694]

Going to Italy for Sampdoria Vs Napoli and an away win for leaders Napoli.

[wooster 134]

Leicester to draw with Stoke, currently 12/5.

Both teams to score & Norwich to win, currently 6/1.

Good luck everyone (supporters or otherwise!!)

[93vintage 16]

For the Norwich bet we need points and I expect us to keep it tight. A Liverpool/Draw @ 1/4, of if you''re feeling adventurous a Norwich/Draw @ 17/20 would be reasonable choices.Fulham to beat Hull at home @ 11/4 looks decent value.

[Kathy 823]

Turkey for me please.

Fenerbahce to beat Caykur Rizespor

For City''s game - no Suarez, no goals. City to keep a clean sheet.

Good luck MMMK and YP.

[Trent Canary 0]

Olympiakos to bounce back. Best of luck all.

NCFC bet, 0-0.

[YorkshirePudding 0]

Thanks Nigel, I do indeed love me some gravy - even drink bovril for some of the matches!

The suggestions are good so far, keep them coming! I''ll make my choices tomorrow :)

[Mr Apples 1,407]

I''ll go to Portugal for Benfica vs. Arouca (home win).

 

For the City bet I''ll choose Brady to score anytime (and still got the additional £20 for the Fund if it comes up).

 

Best of luck everyone!

Apples

Sunday in Spain for me and Atletico Madrid v Servilla Home Win.

 

My Norwich pick is the enhanced odds option on Bill Hill of  Steven Naismith to score and Norwich to win - 10/1.

 

 

[Crabbycanary3 994]

Middlesboro win please

and more than 2.5 goals for our game

Really due some good luck MMMK!

[gregt 67]

This week I will go for HERACLES ALMELO to beat bottom of the league de graafscap

[Cosmic Twin 192]

I''m going for a home win for Porto v. Maritimo.

Porto are W7 D2 L0 F18 A3 at home and Maritimo are W2 D1 L6 F10 A28 away.

Good Luck, MMMK!

As for the Norwich bet ~ still sticking with Howson to score any time!

Good Luck, YorkshirePudding!

[norfolkchance1 0]

Celtic to beat St Johnstone for me this week.

For the Norwich bet I am going for a Steven Naismith goal on debut.

Good luck MMMK Yorkshirepudding and all!

[chellecity 0]

Back to Portugal for me, (and Tilly, this is all my own work)

Benfica v Arouca - Home Win

And how about a goal for Steven Naismith for the match bet.

Good luck everyone, especially MMMK and YorkshirePudding.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

Conference for me this week and promotion-chasing Grimsby will hopefully see off struggling Altrincham.For the Norwich match, how about Norwich to win and both teams to score.Good luck Nigel, Yorkshire and all PUPs.

[The Great Drinkell 51]

Charlton are in a terrible place at the moment having conceded 11 gaols and scored 0 in their last 2 games. I''ll take NCFCOB to leave with the points and at Even money this looks the bet of the weekend to me.

Charlton V Blackburn Away win

For the city bet I think Liverpool live on reputation rather than any great ability any I''ll take a Howson any time goal as my bet.

my advice to AN is don''t spare the horses it''s time to clip Klopp .... I''ll get my coat.

Good luck pickers

[R Mellie 0]

To Italy this week, and a third from top v third from bottom offering - Inter Milan v Carpi HOME win for me please.

 

For the Norwich bet, Mbokani to score last in a 2:1 NCFC win...

 

Good luck MMMK & YP and of course all pups.

[Feedthewolf 5,885]

Atletico Madrid to beat Sevilla please. Despite being seventh in the table, Sevilla still haven''t won away from home and have only scored five goals on their travels all season. Atletico have only conceded eight goals in 20 matches, so if they can score then they should win.For the NCFC match, Naismith to score on his debut against Liverpool is too tempting to resist. 3/1 anytime, or 9/1 first/last if you''re bold enough to pick it.

[Feedthewolf 5,885]

Hang on a sec – just noticed that Ivo Pinto is an astonishing 35/1 to score anytime! For comparison, Steven Whittaker is 14/1 and Timm Klose is 9/1. Assuming that Pinto is up to speed enough to start the match, that''s a ridiculous price.

[Molly Windley 76]

Good luck to all, especially MMMK and Yorkshire PuddingFor no particular reason I fancy an away win in the Hoffeneim vs Leverkusen Bundesliga game at around 4/5Confident of a good performance and result for City this week so my 50p would go on a 2-0 win at 20/1
