nutty nigel 7,902 Posted October 11, 2017 Welcome to week eleven of this Rays Funds season. We are on a high right now. It’s been a fantastic couple of weeks for us. We’ve seen wins from Diane, Parma and Twidio which together with some exciting sponsorship deals that have swelled the presentation pot by £500. Read more about the sponsorship further down the page. This week we have a top PUP who has one of my favourite user names with Molly Windley making the final six selections. Molly got us a win in the hot seat last season and was unlucky not to get more from his week in charge. Molly Windley also sits proudly on the other half of Ray’s signature having won previously when making the final selections for the Norwich game. This season Molly’s been in great form with 8/10 80% winning selections and I believe he will give us our third win in as many weeks with his selections. We have a special guest with Archant’s Senior Sports Journalist and Norwich City & F1 correspondent Michael Bailey making the final selections for the Norwich fixture at home to Hull. I love to see that Michael’s so successful because back when Arrdee started Ray’s Funds Michael was a PUP posting as mbncfc. For those who like a bit of nostalgia click here Thank you for doing this Michael. Although there have been many changes to Rays Funds over the years as it’s grown the principle is still the same. All us PUPs will be trying to help you with suggestions for our game against Hull and you can choose from theirs and your own. PUPanon has given us a tenner to spend and you can divide it however you like. If you want you can use the whole tenner on one selection or cover two at a fiver, five at 2 quid or even ten at a pound. If you’re not sure of anything just ask because all the PUPs will only be too pleased to help and are all rooting for you this weekend. Now for that exciting news. Immediately after I posted about the generous donations we received from the commercial world last week another company stepped forward to add a link to our threads every week for a year in support of your wonderful efforts. We have now added £400 to the presentation pot for this year for links on our threads each week. These companies have done this to support our work to raise funds for the CSF and our Downe''s Syndrome Team of boys and girls. So we''d would like to say a massive thank you to: - http://www.assetangels.co.uk/ (https://www.facebook.com/assetangels) http://www.turnereuropeanconsulting.com/ https://www.kareplus.co.uk/norwich/ If any other companies out there would also like to support our efforts, we''ll be happy to add you to our list of links on this thread every week. So now I’ll hand the thread over to Molly Windley and Michael Bailey. 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 Gary and Michael... 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,2, 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,2, Feedthewolf, AJ, JB, PurpleCanary, Hoola Han Solo, Diane, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £2154 for the Community Sports Foundation.

Platonic 1 Posted October 11, 2017 Going to try something different this week and go for a DRAW in the Derby V Nottingham East Midlands, um, derby. Both not having the best of seasons, both around the same area of the table, both will be up for it and both will not want to lose, so a draw looks tempting to me.For Norwich I''d suggest under 2.5 goals.Good luck all.

Indy_Bones 444 Posted October 11, 2017 The dizzy heights of Peru from me this week, with a HOME win for Sport Rosario vs Ayacucho.For the City bet I''ll suggest Maddison to score at any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted October 11, 2017 I think Chelsea are excellent value at 2/5 to win at Palace. Chelsea are 3-0-0 away from home, and Palace are 0-0-3 at home… those odds really do seem remarkably long.As for the NCFC game, it''s a toughie. I''ll go with a bit of a strange one: Match to be drawn, James Maddison to score last @ 45/1. Don''t know why, just a hunch [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincsy88 106 Posted October 11, 2017 I''m going to dip into league two this week and go with Lincoln to beat Cambridge at 17/20 on Bill Hill. For Norwich I will go with 2-2 draw at 14/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing Sid 160 Posted October 11, 2017 A Saturday offering from Denmark for me. It''s another top v bottom clash which, given my record, I really should avoid. But what the hey...FC Nordsjaelland (7-2-2 28-18) v Randers FC (1-4-6 7-15) - Home Win (at 5\6 which seems quite generous)For the match bet, HT/FT Draw/NorwichBest of luck Molly, Michael and all you PUPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,462 Posted October 11, 2017 In bocca al lupo 🐕 Molly.......off to Austria this week, where Rapid Vienna should be too attacking and too strong for the weak defence of St Polten. As for Michael''s Norwich bet it depends which Hull turns up, they have something of the Norwich 2016 about them, capable of throwing a Premier Kitchen sink at teams and equally capable of mentally folding after going a goal down. No reason to assume our solidity is anything but an ongoing Teutonic modus operandi, so expect a hard-fought tight game, with a moment of Oliveira magic to settle it.Parma 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molly Windley 76 Posted October 11, 2017 Thank you for your kind introduction Nutty and for all the time and effort you put into the PUP`s. Big thanks also to the local companies who have sponsored links and helped out a great cause. Well done to Parma for his win last week, the Italy game was a worry after it became a dead rubber but it all came good, hopefully with everyone`s help we can make it three acca`s in a row. A big welcome back to the man, the beard, the selfy stick that is Micheal Bailey. The PinkUn Youtube channel is under subbed, you Paddy and Dave have stepped up the content levels this season and it`s always a good watch.No real strategy for choosing the six results other than trying to find the six picks that I think have the best chance of winning and ignoring the odds part of it. I will make the selection late Friday night so plenty of time to get your suggestions in. Mens, womens, youth, U21`s, Kazakhstan reserve league or the Premier league, if there are odds available it`s in the reckoning for inclusion.For Micheal and the City game I`m going for a safety first City Win/Draw No Bet @1.5 . Hull are a better side than their position and with the international break in between I`m not really sure how either team will perform.Will be back to chivvy all the late pickers along and bump the thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted October 11, 2017 [quote user="JF"]Bristol city to beat Burton Friday night.Norwich2 Hull 0[/quote]Hi JFIt`s a good pick and would probably go into the final six but unfortunately has to be a Sat/Sun/Mon game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted October 12, 2017 Having issues logging on at home so missed last week, for some reason my log in doesn''t work from my iPad anymore and using my android phone is a nightmare as this site seems to be riddled with pop ups and redirections to play store gambling apps (does anyone else get these?) Anyway I''m going for Spurs to beat Bournemouth For the Norwich bet a 0-0 bore draw Good luck everybody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 12, 2017 Michael -you do realise you have to pay three pounds to do this..However, can I suggest both teams to score?For Molly I fancy Limerick to beat Drogheda please.Good luck both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 51 Posted October 12, 2017 To the EFL 2 for me this week and Notts county who have recently had a little splutter of form - a loss away to well fancied Mansfield and a surprise home draw with FGR- having taken top spot should get back to winning ways against a very poor Barnet side and at even money may just boost the return.For the Match bet I''ll suggest that super sub Wildschut will score at some stage of proceedings.and as always good luck to Both picker.

While you''re here, it shouldn''t be too much of an ask to approach your bosses to see if they''d care to join our list of sponsors. They''ve been generous with other fans groups in the past, so a donation to this group would be very welcome and beneficial to all concerned.Right Molly, League One where second in the table Peterborough entertain second from bottom Gillingham.......Peterborough v Gillingham.......Home win.For our game........City to win and Oliveira to score anytime.Good luck Molly and Michael.
