nutty nigel 7,352 Posted March 8, 2017 Welcome PUPs to week thirty two of our tenth Rays Funds season. Picking the final six this weekend is DDD whoanother of our original PUPs enjoying their tenth season on Rays Funds. Ben, who is having a good season with 25/30 83% correct picks and of course he also has two previous wins when making these selections. I got to know Ben when he travelled from Devon to the games and now he’s based in Norwich he’s regularly in the Nelson after games and always supports me and the PUPs in all we do. So let’s help Ben to his hat-trick of wins 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 guess the gate winners with AJ picking the final selections for our game at home to Blackburn. AJ was just 275 out on his guess at the attendance for the Southampton game. But he’s not just good at that. AJ’s a top PUP who has already got us £101.49 when he selected the main bet earlier this season. AJ’s also previously won when making these picks so we’re in safe hands this weekend for sure. You have a tenner to spend AJ and you can choose from the PUPs selections and your own, splitting the tenner into as many bets as you choose. CSF Emma emailed me earlier today because she has just had it confirmed that a DS team from Crystal Palace will be visiting us on Saturday 18th March to take part in a fixture over at Carrow Park, Fan Zone, kick-off is 12.30pm. It was awesome last year when we had a fixture between us and Newcastle. Emma and our DS boys and girls are hoping to emulate that again and get a good crowd to cheer them on! We will take opportunity to hand over the presentation pot which stands at £1856 plus anything we may add this weekend. It’s a busy day for the CSF because it’s the day of their ground collection so you will see lots of happy smiling faces with buckets outside the stadium. I know one of our top PUPs will be amongst them. I hope some of you can turn up at some point during the DS game to take part in a small informal presentation after the game at Carrow Park. Here''s the picture from last year : - So now I’ll hand the thread over to DDD and AJ. 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 Ben and Adam... 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.

Van wink 2,994 Posted March 8, 2017 Evening all, Galatasari home win for me please, NB I''m on a bad run of form ATM ☹️For City, surely Naismith is going to put one of his chances away so Naismith to score.Good luck everyone👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hissing Sid 146 Posted March 8, 2017 Given that the last 4 weeks I''ve picked top v bottom so-called "bankers", and lost each time, you''d probably do well to avoid this one, but here goes anyway...League 2 and Doncaster (top, 20-9-6 66-42) v Cheltenham (18th, 9-12-14 30-38) - Home WinFor the match bet, Norwich to win and both teams to score.Best of luck Ben, AJ and all you PUPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,204 Posted March 9, 2017 Good luck to DDD and all PUPs everywhere...Croatia is the destination this week:Dinamo Zagreb vs RNK Split - Home winAs for AJ''s Norwich bet it is entirely logical to expect a Norwich win, so something specific is a good bet. Manager under pressure often equals decisions that lean towards pleasing and appeasing the fans, so how how about:Jacob and Josh Murphy to both scoreIn bocca al lupo 🐈👌👍😂💪Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted March 9, 2017 Liking Nutty''s strategy, going for the powerhouses this week, can see this paying off handsomely with 2 very strong "pickers".DDD, for me Spain this week and a home win for Sevilla against Leganes, Sat 15.15 ko.AJ, for the City bet i see a 3-1 home win, unfortunately don''t see a clean sheet.Good luck all, have a great weekend.

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted March 9, 2017 To find a team bottom of the table playing away and the home team are odds against suggest value to me (or bookies who are missing something) although inconsistent themselves CREWE are surely good enough to beat a very poor Newport teamCrewe V Newport Home winFor the Match bet I''ll take Norwich to win 3-1 with Elliott Bennett to score at any time.Good luck Pickers.

wooster 134 Posted March 9, 2017 Good luck everyone,My match pick is: Brentford to draw with Huddersfield (12/5), and Norwich to draw with Blackburn 1-1 (at 13/2), though sorely tempted with 0-0 (at 11/1) but Blackburn have had four 1-1 draws in their last nine games.

Feedthewolf 4,789 Posted March 9, 2017 Club Brugge (2nd, 12-2-0 at home) should comfortably dispose of St Truiden (3rd from bottom, 1-1-12 away), as reflected by odds of 1/6.For the Norwich bet, Mitchell Dijks to score any time at 18/1 looks excellent. He''s already weighed in with one, and being 6''5" also makes him a threat from set pieces.Best of luck, everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted March 10, 2017 Ethiopia: Dedebit vs Woldya Kenema, home win.Dedebit Home: P7 4-2-1 9/3Woldya Away: P8 1-3-4 3/6Dedebit have a fairly good home record and when they have dropped home points it has very much tended to be against the top sides. Currently in 3rd place, they finished 4th last season and 2nd the season before.Woldya''s only previous season in the Ethiopian Premier League was two years ago. They finished bottom by some distance with an away record of 0-0-13 7/33, the goal difference alone being off the scale.This season Woldya drew their opening away match against a midtable side, getting their first ever away clean sheen, but lost every away game until the last three. These three games included a maiden away win, two more draws, a further two clean sheets and their only away goals of the season. However note that these three matches were against sides in the bottom four.Woldya''s current mini upturn away from home looks very much like a blip influenced by a cluster of easier fixtures, and surely must end against a far superior Dedebit side.The odds of 1.62 with Bet365 look more than reasonable.------------For the Norwich match go for a Norwich win or draw no bet, and a Norwich -1.25 or -1.5.Good luck all.
