nutty nigel 7,352 Posted November 9, 2016 I’m still smiling about Wolfie’s brilliant win last week as I welcome everyone to week fifteen of our tenth Rays Funds season. This week we have a real chance of back to back wins with Graham Humphrey in charge and making the final selections. This is a big week for Graham as he has a milestone birthday on Thursday. I think the milestone is that Graham’s been a PUP for one third of his life because he’s been on our threads from the very start. Graham’s always supported our social events too and is a fully-fledged Nelson Numpty . With the CSF quiz falling on his birthday it’s the perfect time to present Graham with the signed shirt he won for being top PUP in our Euros competition last summer. There’ll be lots of PUPs at the quiz to give him a big cheer on the night. Graham’s having a really good season with his picks sitting firmly in the chasing pack near the top of our PUPs league with 11/14 correct picks and a profitability of £2.11. And of course he’s a previous winner on both parts of Ray’s signature. So to help him end his birthday week with another win let’s all give him our very best picks from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on the Bet 365 or William Hill web site. I’ve provisionally done the rota for December. Please let me know with your picks if the dates are OK. Final Six Picks 3rd Dec – Twidio 10th Dec – Kathy 17th Dec – Inchy 26th Dec – Gregt 31st Dec – Leedscanary Norwich Match Picks 3rd Dec – The Great Drinkell 10th Dec – Lessingham Canary 17th Dec – Nutty Nigel 26th Dec – Jellytot 31st Dec – Hissing Sid With no Norwich game Graham has the thread to himself this week. 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 Graham ... the thread is yours.......[:)]....... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always I leave you with Ray’s signature which now reads :- Carve their names 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,4, 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 District Canary,2, Bor Bor Bor, Yellowfuture, Chellecity, Diesel Doris, Lessingham Canary, Molly Windley, Parma Ham’s gone mouldy, Feedthewolf, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £1671 for the Community Sports Foundation.

Feedthewolf 4,789 Posted November 9, 2016 Really difficult to find anything in the middle ground, as is often the case with international week. I didn''t want to go for such a short-priced banker, as I guess you''ll be inundated with those, but the odds for the Netherlands to win in Luxembourg are 1/7, which is a bit longer than a lot of the other shoe-ins from this weekend.Very best of luck, Graham!

Guest Posted November 9, 2016 Staying close to home this week and avoiding the international games I decided to go with.....MK Dons....Home win.All the very best on what looks like a tough week.And that date is fine with me Nutty. Good luck Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted November 10, 2016 Thanks Eddie for the introduction... and for not giving away my age [;)]It''s great to get another chance to do this, and I reckon I''m well overdue a win. Last week will be a very tough act to follow - that was as comprehensive as it gets. I usually get Christmas or an FA Cup weekend for my picks, so being an international weekend presents me with a different challenge, so a great deal of thought will be needed here.Just to let everyone know that I will be doing my picks earlier than normal due to some, er, quiet celebrations that will be taking place tomorrow evening, so I will probably be doing them around mid-afternoon, which I know might be a bit early for some of our PUPs (to be fair, it normally is for me too) but better to do that than wait until Saturday morning when I will be in no fit state to do them.Thanks everyone for their picks so far, and for the birthday wishes.

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted November 10, 2016 Hi NuttyI''m afraid the 10th of December will be a struggle for me, as will be away and cant guarantee will have internet access for a few days, any chance could swap for any other weekend, Sods law I would be selected for the only weekend cant do. apologies if messes up your allocations.
