nutty nigel 7,351 Posted August 23, 2017 Welcome to the fourth week of this Rays Funds season. This weekend we have ZLF selecting the final six for the first time. I was so pleased when ZLF joined us last season and he has become a real asset to our great team of PUPs. I always think of him as Zipper’s Left Foot. Zipper, if I remember rightly, was the name his daughter had for Paul McVeigh. But now I see Macca has been replaced by Zimmer which could be our new German centre back although I do think it more likely to be an age related addition.[;)] Zimmer has always been one of my favourite posters and I think we’re in very safe hands this week. You PUPs have certainly settled into great form early this season. We still have 19 PUPs unbeaten on 3/3 whereas last season at the same time there were only 5. So more of the same will give ZLF a great chance of adding to our presentation pot. We just need your very best selections from the games played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this weekend that are listed on the Bill Hill or Bet 365 web site. We have Jellytot making the picks from your suggestions for our game at Millwall. Jellytot was so fond of Ray and has been trying and trying to get her name on his signature but has had the cruelest luck time and time again. She won’t get to make the six picks this season so this is her big chance. So let’s all help her with the best suggestions we can find for this game. Jellytot, you have a tenner to spend and can divide it how you like between the PUPs selections and your own. Diane kindly stepped in to make the picks on 30th September so I just need Mr Angry to confirm and we’ll be all set for next month. Final Six Results 02 Sep – Gregt - confirmed 09 Sep – Hammond1612 - confirmed 16 Sep – Lake District Canary - confirmed 23 Sep – Mr Angry 30 Sep – Diane - confirmed Norwich Game 02 Sep – Internationals 09 Sep – King Canary – confirmed. 16 Sep – Splutcho - confirmed 23 Sep – Indy_Bones - confirmed 30 Sep – Twidio - confirmed Just a reminder that there’s a couple of days left to enter the NCFSC Prediction Competition. There’s some great prizes and all the entry money will go to the CSF. Details and enter online here : - http://www.ncfsc.co.uk/competition/17-18-prediction-competition So now I’ll hand the thread over to ZLF and Jellytot. 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 Stephen and Helen... 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,6, 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, PurpleCanary, Hoola Han Solo, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £2052 for the Community Sports Foundation.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted August 23, 2017 "You PUPs have certainlysettled into great form early this season.

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,204 Posted August 23, 2017 Early kick off this week, have had my eye on Bulgaria and:Ludgorets Razgrad vs Pirin Blagoevgrad - Home winBuona Fortuna Zipper 👍👏As for Jellytot''s Norwich pick I think it will be all out for a clean sheet, tight, organised defensive structure with freedom for Josh playing in a freer role joining the single striker. Goals to come from his magic or a Maddison set piece (or not at all).So the bet is: Norwich to keep a clean sheetIn 👄 al 🐕 JellytotParma 👍😊🕺💃🏼 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted August 23, 2017 Hi all,This week I''m taking a trip to Spain for Las Palmas v Atletico Madrid - away in.Atletico had a tough first match coming from 2 down and lost Greizmann to a red card, probably because of his silly haircut. The odds are at a rather generous 1.8 and surely they have too much quality for a Las Palmas side who manged a lower half finish last season and Atletico have won the 4 previous ties between these teams both home and away.For the Norwich bet, it''s a lottery to know who will start at the moment. So the best bet is to go for Norwich to win and Murphy to score first (or anytime if you want to play it safe)Best of luck to ZLF, Jellytot and everyone else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,788 Posted August 23, 2017 Tough week to pick, this – I''ll go for Barcelona to win at Alaves at odds of 2/7.As for the NCFC game, I like the idea of Josh to score at any time.Best of luck, everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kashiwa have 45 points from 23 but Albirex only have 9 points from 23 with a GD of -33.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted August 25, 2017 An early Saturday kick off in the Premier League for me. Bournemouth have struggled against Man City in the league and I don''t see anything changing tomorrow. So it''s - Bournemouth vs Manchester City - away winFor the match bet I think we''ll get our away win and I also think Josh will continue his great form. Therefore -A scorecast of - Josh Murphy to score first and Norwich to win 2-1. This is currently at 70/1 on bet365 which I think is good odds for something that is relatively realistic.Good luck everyone, the very best of luck ZLF & Twidio [:)][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
