nutty nigel 7,902 Posted November 30, 2016 Welcome PUPs to week eighteen of our tenth Rays Funds season. This week we have our youngest PUP Twidio in charge of selecting the final six matches. Although he will be celebrating his thirteenth birthday on Monday Twidio has been part of PUPs since the very beginning when he was our mascot. As he got older Ryan started to make selections and has become a valuable member of our team. I will never forget the when he won with his final six two years ago. That was a real PUP power weekend and I think nearly all the games were won late or in added time with score updates being followed on this thread. I think Ryan is just the right PUP to get us back to winning ways so let’s all help him with our very best selection from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on the William Hill or Bet 365 web sites. Selecting from the Norwich picks this weekend is The Great Drinkell. TGD has been with us since those early days too and another of the friends I''ve made through these threads. Drinks is also a previous and memorable winner when he correctly selected Russell Martin to score in his turn two seasons ago. That goal is always worth another look :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkkd7l5dJI8 I''m sure TGD will find something good for us again this weekend.You have a tenner to spend Paul. Split how you like on the selections from the PUPs and your own. So now I’ll hand the thread over to Twidio and The Great Drinkell. 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 and our fabulous Downes Syndrome boys and girls.. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Ryan and Paul ... the thread is yours.......[:)]..........

Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted December 1, 2016 Best of luck to Ryan and Paul!I''m off to Belgium this week (not literally). Waregem are top of the table, with a home record of 5-3-0. Their opponents, Waasland Beveren, are fourth from bottom with an away record of 0-1-6. Odds are in the region of 4/9.The Norwich match is a very tough one to call. However, Russell Martin has a habit of popping up with goals when you least expect him to, so Martin to score anytime at 17/2 is a decent outside bet.

I expect 3 or 4 goals for us!Good luck to you both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted December 2, 2016 A nice Sunday fixture at reasonable odds for Mr Twidio :-Serie A Ecuador: Emelec vs. Universidad Católica, home win @ 2/5.Emlec have a home record of: W8 D1 L1 F23 A9Universidad''s away record is: W2 D2 L6 F8 A22For The Great Drinkell, a Norwich win or draw seems to be the safest choice, as we''re starting to go quite far from historic norms in terms of losing consecutive games.Good luck all!

The Great Drinkell 51 Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks for the introduction Nutty - another cracker like that from RM would help on Saturday, - I''ll be back with my selections on Friday night.For young Ryan I''ll give you an inform WBA to beat Watford who are a bit Jeckell &Hyde.Hoping for three wins this weekend - good luck to all picker and please keep the predictions coming.

Lessingham Canary 108 Posted December 2, 2016 FA Cup for me this week, and heading to Devon and looking for Plymouth to ease past Newport County with a home win. Good luck Twidio, I''m sure you will do us proud.For the City bet looking for this horrible run to end with a 2-1 win, good luck TGD, and to all Pup''s.

AJ 1,359 Posted December 2, 2016 I''m never usually that keen on the idea, but I''ll dip into the FA Cup this week to back Millwall vs Braintree - Home Win. A few leagues apart, Millwall are doing OK and are on the fringes of the play-offs and have only lost twice at home in the league so far this season. Braintree are doing less okay and lay 21st in the National League. It has the potential to be a tight game, but with a couple of leagues between them and tied in with the intimidation of visiting The Den, I''d like to think Braintree won''t be able to prosper.As for the Norwich bet, it is a very tough time for us. I''d consider Norwich to win 2-1 and CamJam to score first @36. I can''t see Oliveira or Laffs starting ahead of him as long as he is fully fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted December 2, 2016 after a successful foray for some value in Bundesliga 2 last week I return for an away win for Stuttgart who are playing well against a woeful at home fast plummeting Aue.As for City, pinto & and a return to form will happen at some stage; Now the Ed Balls SCD curse has been lifted its all steam ahead for a 2-0 home win. Definitely. Maybe. Probably. Blind Faith. Its the hope that kills you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
