nutty nigel 7,509 Posted November 29, 2017 Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Asset Angels, Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus. What a fantastic weekend we had last week! Wolfie and Yellowf added £88 to the presentation pot taking it close to £1700 since march this year. You PUPs were on top form too with 77% having a successful weekend. What a great team we have. For the first weekend in December we have Graham Humphrey in charge and making the final six selections. Graham is another PUP who has been on the team for over ten years. He’s become a great friend to those PUPs who are able to meet socially. That’s over ten years friendship now and all through coming together united in support of our club and raising a bit of cash whilst we’re all having fun. Graham is a top PUP too with previous wins when making these final selections and the Norwich match picks. Graham also has a surprise for us PUPs this weekend which I’ll leave him to tell you about. I think Graham is just the right PUP to secure us back to back wins so let’s help him all we can with our very best selections from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on the Bill Hill or Bet 365 web sites. It’s Friday night game for our beloved Canaries this weekend and the long trip to Cardiff. We also have a change of plan because of difficulties with our mystery guest getting a Pink Un log in we decided to postpone until it was sorted. So I turned to our faithful and great friend Lappinitup who readily agreed to step in at short notice. In fact Mick said to me “that’s what I’m here for”. Lapps has always been a star like that for our great team of PUPs. So this weekend’s PUPs in the hot seats have over 20 years of unbroken service between them. That’s awesome!! Lapps of course also has been successful when making both sets of final selections. In fact he has had a hat-trick of wins making the Norwich picks. He’s also been a profitability league champion. Lapps will need all our help so please get your suggestions in before Friday afternoon because of that Friday night kick off. Have a look at the companies who support our work to raise funds for the CSF and our wonderful Downe''s Syndrome Team of boys and girls. We 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. Here’s one of my favourite PUP team photos featuring both this week’s pickers... So now I’ll hand the thread over to Graham Humphrey and Lappinitup. 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 and Mick... 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,2, AJ, JB, PurpleCanary,2, Hoola Han Solo, Diane, Hissing Sid, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £2308 for the Community Sports Foundation.

Hissing Sid 154 Posted November 29, 2017 On Sunday it''s bottom v top in Belgium. Eupen (bottom, 2-4-10 23-41) v Club Brugge (top, 13-1-2 36-14) - Away WinWhat could possibly go wrong there!!!For the match bet, Alex Pritchard to score the last goal of the game.Best of luck Graham, Lapps and all you PUPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyboy 0 Posted November 29, 2017 Austria for me this weekend, thought it appropriate with the cold weather, so it’s an away win for Rapid Vienna.For the City bet, Draw ht, Cardiff ft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammond1612 92 Posted November 29, 2017 This week I''ll go for PSG to beat Strasbourg. For the match bet I just can''t see us winning so would be tempted by both teams to score and maybe Cardiff to win 2-1. Good luck Graham and Lapps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted November 29, 2017 I''ll go for Milan to win away to Benevento. The hosts have lost all 14 of their Serie A matches so far, and although Milan haven''t had the greatest of starts to the season, a change of manager is always likely to motivate a team... especially when that new manager is none other than the ultimate hard man Rino Gattuso! Odds of 4/11 look pretty tempting.For the match bet, the cynic in me is looking at Cardiff to win and Pilkington to score any time at 11/4... [:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 127 Posted November 29, 2017 Well done last week and lets hope for some more success for the PUPs this week. Off to Spain ( Oh I wish! ) for:ATLETICO MADRID v Real Sociedad HOME WINGood Luck Graham and all you Lovely PUPs. For the Norwich bet, 1-1. Best of luck Lapps.

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks Eddie. It''s great to be doing this again and although last week will be a tough act to follow - not least because my own form has been abysmal this year - hopefully the diverse picks PUPs bring to the table will be a great help.Also, I''m hoping we''ll have a greater chance of a positive result this week. I''ve followed on from fellow PUP and regular away traveller (and reluctant Farm Cafe visitor) Hammond1612''s example earlier this year and decided to put on two different bets - one set of six picks for Saturday''s games, and another one for Sunday. I discussed the idea with Eddie on Saturday evening and (make sure you''re seated before reading this next bit) delved into my wallet to hand him another tenner to fund this.Therefore, I''ll be hoping for as many different picks over the weekend as possible so I can select twelve different matches in total. All games - no matter how obscure or exotic - will be seriously considered. Depending on Friday night pub-related plans I may post my final selections about 5-ish on Friday, or possibly a couple of hours later if no alcohol-related activities are forthcoming. So as many picks as possible before then (i.e. the total opposite of my usual routine) will be much appreciated.Good luck to Mick as well (who gave me a lift to the Bayer Club for one of the earliest PUPs meets back in 2008). It seems fitting he''s on this weekend too. I''ll be back with a suggestion for him later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted November 30, 2017 FTW has gone with my initial choice (decent price in the circumstances) so I will drop down a division and go for for Parma Calcio 1913 home win against Pro Vercelli.As for us, away to a form team and even with a map seemingly unable to find where a goal is. Add in my presence the potents are not good. So us to be winning at HT & FT is my ludicrous suggestion.Pob lwc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hansterbubble 55 Posted November 30, 2017 There are a few ties that look quite strong contenders, but this week I am going to go for a home win for BAYERN MUNICH v Hannover 96.I don’t feel very optimistic about our chances at Cardiff, but can’t bring myself to bet against us, so how about Pritchard to score last.Good luck to the pickers!

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219 Posted November 30, 2017 In bocca al lupo 🐕 Graham...a lovely guy, really good man...Think a trip to Bulgaria might be nice for the Sunday bet. Think a nice selection would be:Vitosha Bistritsa vs CSKA Sofia As for Lapps’ Norwich bet, it may well be the case that our set up is better suited to Away matches, though Cardiff’s relatively direct, oooressive style will test our discipline and defensive resolve. There is pressure, which typically means a reversion to defensive control, though this may be easier said than done. Suggest a 1-2 loss with a goal from Josh Murphy.Parma 🇮🇹 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted December 1, 2017 Before I forget completely - I''ll just add my choice for Mick''s match bet.I think we will be pleased if we come away with a 0-0 so that might be worth taking into consideration - we''re probably due another clean sheet soon, and we''ve had some decent results away to teams near the top already, so I don''t think it''s a massive stretch.
