nutty nigel 7,513 Posted March 1, 2017 Welcome PUPs to week thirty one of our tenth Rays Funds season. This week we welcome YankeeCanary to the hot seat. Yankee’s our first ever champion and also has five previous wins with the final selections making him a real Rays Funds legend. Yankee was one of the first to support Ray when these threads started and he’s also been one of the first to post a selection every week to support our team of PUPs throughout the last ten seasons. It’s great to have Yankee making the picks once again so let’s help him towards an unprecedented sixth win with our very best selections from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on Bill Hill or Bet 365 web site. We’ve got another of our original PUPs with Syteanric making a return to pick the final selections for the Norwich game at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. We all remember him better as Jas The Barclay King and he’s with us this weekend because he was just 229 out when guessing the gate for the Southampton match. Welcome back Jas. You have a tenner to spend thanks to our anonymous benefactor. You can choose from the PUPs selections and your own Jas, splitting the tenner into as many bets as you choose. After Snake-Eyes great win last weekend in the match bet and some more pledges the presentation pot now stands at £1824. That is just awesome. I never thought we’d be hitting such large amounts. Only two years ago the record was less than £900 and then last year £1500. Take a bow you PUPs you are all stars each and every one of you. So now I’ll hand the thread over to YankeeCanary and Syteanric. 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 Clyde and Jas... 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,5, 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,3, 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, AJ, JB, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £1946 for the Community Sports Foundation.

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219 Posted March 2, 2017 Something of an awkward week for fixtures, so ideal to have the safest of safe pairs of hands in Yankee...what a fabulous Ray''s Funds record...You can always rely on the Germans when the pressure is on so:Regionalliga Nordost:Carl Zeiss Jena vs TSG Neustrelitz - Home win As for Syteanric''s Norwich bet I think it would be decent bet unfortunately to bet on a Norwich sending off. There is not overwhelming evidence to suggest we''ll win the game and anything other than a win really brings the curtains down on our play off hopes so frustration may abound thus:Norwich to have a player sent offParma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diane 500 Posted March 2, 2017 This is always a special thread to post on but this week is extra special because it''s my good friend Yankee who''s doing the picks. Yankee has been around here a long time and rings me every so often for a catch up and is a top guy so I''m hoping that its a good week for my friend.My suggestion is reading to beat WolvesFor the Norwich bet I''m unsure which Norwich will turn up so wont go for a score but will just suggest that Howson will score anytime.

Molly Windley 76 Posted March 3, 2017 I must be bottom of the PUP`s league after an appalling run of picks, so desperate times call for desperate measures.The Swedish Cup looks to be offering some good value odds this weekend for early season games so Norrkoping vs Halmstad away winFor the City game I would have gone for City win and draw no betGood luck to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
