Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Season 10 Week 17

[nutty nigel 7,963]

Welcome PUPs to week seventeen

of our tenth Rays Funds season. After AJ’s exciting win last week this weekend

we have Mandie Moo in charge of the final six selections. Mandie has been a

great supporter of Rays Funds ever since she joined our team all those years

ago. Not just participating in the threads but also supporting me and our PUPs

at many of our events and presentations. She’s also become a good friend to so

many of us and I was chuffed to share going to Wembley with Mandie and her

family.

Mandie’s been on good form

this season with 11/15 correct picks and of course has twice won before from

this hot seat. So I think we have a great chance of back to back wins if we get

that little bit of luck we always need. We can all help by giving Mandie 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 Duncan Edwards. Duncan’s won for us making these

selections before so we’re in safe hands. Dunc was also with us on that day at

Wembley. In fact it was through one of his excellent blogs that we ended up

hijacking that coach with the BBC. I will claim the ultimate credit though

because he obviously gets his writing skills from the old man…….

You have a tenner to spend

Duncan. Split how you like on the selections from the PUPs and your own.

 

Last week’s great win took the

presentation pot to £1227 all added since April. You PUPs are amazing!

I’m going to get this posted

now as I’m out until after the AGM. Hope to see many PUPs there. It’s always

good to meet up whatever the occasion.

 

 

So now I’ll hand the thread

over to Mandie Moo and Duncan Edwards. 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 Mandie and Duncan ... the thread

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

A couple of promising youngsters next t a great grandfather figure...

An offering from the FA Trophy this week

Chelmsford City v Taunton Town - Home Win

And let''s have a hint of positivity for the match bet...HT/FT Derby/Draw, at 14/1.

Best of luck Mandie, Duncan and all you PUPs

[YankeeCanary 0]

Rijeka to beat Cibalia

[Platonic 1]

Liverpool to beat Sunderland

For us, I guess both teams to score covers most of the pessimistic thoughts I''m having at the mo..

Good luck all

[Diesel Doris 130]

Off to Portugal this week and:

BENFICA v Moreirense HOME WIN

Good Luck Moo and all you Lovely PUPs

For the Norwich bet HT/FT Derby/Draw Best of Luck Duncan.

[Feedthewolf 5,931]

I know I usually look for reasonable value, but this week I''m going for something nailed-on.Welsh Premier League, The New Saints v Airbus UK, home win.The New Saints have won all 15 of their league matches so far this season, with a goal difference of +47. They''ve also won away to two Scottish League clubs in the Scottish League Challenge Cup (how they ended up in that competition is anyone''s guess!), including a 3-0 win at Livingston who are currently top of League One.Airbus UK are rooted to the foot of the table, and lost 4-1 at home to The New Saints earlier in the season. If this was in La Liga the odds would be 1/20 or shorter, so 1/8 seems pretty decent for an absolute sitting duck.As for the Norwich match, our odds are relatively generous for the win. With good reason, some might say, but I can''t help but think of the win-win ramifications of Norwich stopping the rot and us also winning some money for the CSF! Therefore, I''ll go with Norwich to win and both teams to score at a lofty 6-1.The very best of luck to both of you!

[Molly Windley 76]

Good luck to all as alwaysWas going for Rijeka but Yankee has already picked that so my choice is a Monday game and a home win for Huddersfield vs Wigan @ around even moneyNo idea about the City game, could be anything the way we are playing so a City 3-1 win @ 34.00 is a shot in the dark.OK for the City/Barnsley game on the 10th Nutty

[nutty nigel 7,963]

Thanks Molly 👍

[jb 0]

PSV to bear ADO on Saturday for me please... And Dorrans to score for city.

Good luck PUPs and OTBC!

[nutty nigel 7,963]

For Mandie I''m off to Hungary where I think : -

Videoton          v          MTK Budapest          Home Win

For Duncan I''m thinking that Simon Hooper will try and make amends by awarding us a penalty! So like JB...

Dorrans to score Anytime

[Cosmic Twin 192]

I''m going for a home win for Roma v. Pescara.

Roma are W6 D0 L0 F20 A4 at home and Pescara are W1 D1 L4 F5 A11 away.

Good Luck, Mandie Moo!

As for the Norwich bet ~ Jacob Murphy to score any time!

Good Luck, Duncan Edwards!

[TIL 1010 5,303]

Before i get to my pick i see two PUPs including Nutty have picked Dorrans to score............He is suspended for the game !

[chellecity 0]

La Liga in Spain this Sunday...

Osasuna v Atletico Madrid - Away Win

And Jacob to celebrate his new deal with a goal.

Good luck everyone, especially Mandie and Duncan.

[nutty nigel 7,963]

[quote user="TIL 1010"]Before i get to my pick i see two PUPs including Nutty have picked Dorrans to score............He is suspended for the game ![/quote]

Someone had also better tell Simon Hooper not to award us a PK then...

Jacob Murphy to score anytime.

[TIL 1010 5,303]

A very good evening to you Nutty and wishing good luck to Miss Moo and the bog cleaners apprentice together with all you other lovely PUPs out there.Off to Bulgaria and a HOME WIN please for CSKA SOFIA v FC Vereya.For the Norwich bet H/T draw F/T Derby.

[sonyc 6,145]

Good evening all and good luck pickers.

Portsmouth at home has to be a banker. On a great run.

As for City, such a bad run, such negativity ...that just makes me sense a positive result. Think we could pull one out of the fire even if Derby have properly turned the corner. So 1-2 result for me.

But like others, my pick is for Jacob to score anytime, celebrating his whopping long term contract.

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,476]

TNS - Home win

Norwich - Away win

Buona Fortuna tutti Pupi!!

Parma 👌❤️👊🏼💰🌲

[Diane 500]

Good Luck to the lovely Mandie this week and to my friend Duncan, both will do a great job for us pups

Liverpool home win for me

For the Norwich bet no score halftime/draw full time

[Anthony 0]

Newcastle home win please his week

For Norwich 2-1 win to Derby sorry

Good Luck everyone

[AJ 1,377]

Odds probably aren''t great, but a trip to Portugal for me this week sees top of the table and unbeaten Benfica take on 3rd bottom Moreirense who have won just twice all season. Benfica have kept clean sheets in 4 of their last 5 and conceded just 5 all season! Moreirense meanwhile have scored just 8 goals so far in 10 games compared to Benfica''s 23. Can only see this going one way - Benfica home win.

For the Norwich bet,

Dorrans to score.... I kid, I''d definitely back the idea of Murphy to score and Norwich to win to celebrate his new contract!

[AJ 1,377]

and good luck to Mandie and Duncan, and all you Pups - let''s make it another good weekend!

[Kathy 823]

Ironic me choosing a pick for Duncan. More often than not it''s the other way round.

Scrabble high score for me this week. HNK Rijeka to beat

Cibalia Vinkovci in the Croatian league.

For City''s game - AN to buy himself some more time with a creditable draw.

Good luck guys!

[lake district canary 4,878]

Gaarmany calling.......Bayern Munich to beat Leverkuesen for me please. Agree with Kathy for the Norwich bet.  A fighting 2-2 draw. Good luck all.

[The Great Drinkell 51]

After last weeks refreshing win, I''m going back to offering a little VFM

Wycombe are starting to get some of their injured squad back and should be too good for Hartlepool this weekend.

Wycombe v Hartlepool Home win.

For the City bet, Derby looked really good for 45 minutes against Wolves recently then were luck to hold on for a draw, - sound familiar- I think they might just come out all guns blazing again so I''ll go - HT Derby FT Draw.

[Lessingham Canary 108]

National league for me this week, and going for 2nd placed Linclon to get a home win v Maidstone.

And for the City bet, 2-2 sounds best so far, so will put my energy into that also.

Good luck to Mandie and Duncan, and all you Pups - make it another good weekend!

[lappinitup 629]

Top v bottom in league Two where Morecambe (2-0-7-8-21) entertain leaders Plymouth (7-0-1-14-5).Morecambe v Plymouth,,,,,,,,Away win.

For the City game - Russell Martin is due a goal.

Good luck Mandie and Duncan. [Y]

[ZLF 342]

Good luck to one and all pups; but mostly to our beleaguered team

Bundesliga 2 for me, Heidenheim home win at at evens with william hill going well in the league against St Pauli with 1 point on the travels from 7 matches seems decent value for me.

For us? an against the odds (Derby not conceded a home goal since Sept) clean sheet.

[PurpleCanary 6,463]

The Schleswig-Holstein section of the German Oberliga.Todesfelde to win at home against Concordia Schonkirchen.Todesfelde have a so-so 5-1-3 and 16/11 home record but are in excellent form, Concordia Schonkirchen''s away record is not so bad, at 2-1-4 and 4/14, but they are by contrast in poor form.The current odds are 1/6.---For the NCFC bet I see a 2-2 draw and a 2-1 away win are both priced at 12/1, and would suggest either of those.Good luck to all!

[Mr Apples 1,407]

Hi all, I''m going to Fwaaaaance this week for Metz vs. Lorient (home win).

For the City bet I think we have reached the bottom of the trough and will beat Derby 3-1, with a JaMurph double.

All the best PUPs!

Apples

[norfolkchance1 0]

Newcastle to beat Blackburn for me this week.

For the Norwich bet, hopefully a win with cameron Jerome grabbing a goal.

Good luck Mandie Moo Duncan and all!
