nutty nigel 7,826 Posted February 21, 2018 Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Asset Angels, Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus. Firstly thanks and well done all you PUPs for what we have achieved over the past few weeks as this community rallied together determined to do something to honour and remember one of our own. I know Ian manages to draw some comfort from the love shown in all your messages of support and determination to achieve this tribute. And the amount now shown on Rays signature to honour Chelle is an amazing £422. That includes the £50 which has been sent to SarcomaUK, £342 winnings and £30 in donations straight to the pot. You did all that from £270 which was the total sent. When I made the donation to Sarcoma I included a message saying “In remembrance of Superfan and SuperPUP Chelle from the Pink Un Pickers but for some reason I can’t find anyway of viewing that message. However I have this receipt : - Thank you for your generous gift of £50.00.You have made this gift in celebration of Michelle Dack. Your gift details: Amount: £50.00 Payment Method: Visa Credit card ending in xxxx Date: 17/02/2018 Designation: General Following the success of our howitzer DDD, who relieved Bill Hill of another £56.43, We’re releasing another of our big guns this week with Norfolkbroadslim selecting the final six results. NBS is one of our most consistent PUPs who is always around the top of our PUPs league. A former champion NBS currently has just three wrong and is on a winning run of 9 consecutive wins. And of course he’s won when selecting the final six on three previous occasions. Let’s help him to a fourth success with our very best selections from the games on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on Bill Hill or Bet 365 web site. We have Diane making the picks for our game against Bolton this weekend. Diane willingly stepped up to the plate when I realized I didn’t have this weekend covered. (Or I don’t think I did!). Diane, who already has wins on both parts of Ray’s signature, is another of our original PUPs and of course is well known for her tireless work with NCFSC which also raises a lot of money for the CSF. Thanks for stepping in Diane, you have £10 to spend between the PUPs suggestions and your own. As always you can divide that however you like. Here is the rota for March. Please let me know if the dates are suitable with your selections. Final Six Results 3rd Mar - First Wazzock - Confirmed 10th Mar – 93Vintage 17th Mar – Wooster - Confirmed 24th Mar – Len 31st Mar - The Great Drinkell - Confirmed Norwich Match Picks 3rd Mar – Platonic - Confirmed 10th Mar – ZLF - Confirmed 17th Mar – Til1010 31st Mar – Hammond1612 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. So now I’ll hand the thread over to Norfolkbroadslim and Diane. 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.

Head of Development for the Foundation Jackie Thornton said: “We help a great number of people each year to improve their health and wellbeing and raise their aspirations through our existing initiatives, but there are thousands more that need us, and we can’t currently reach them. “The Nest is our chance to do just that; it will allow us to engage with more people with disabilities, more people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and to help others to be active and play a sport, perhaps for the first time.” Check it all out here :- https://www.communitysportsfoundation.org.uk/build-the-nest/?utm_source=Direct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something like Srbeny first goal, Norwich to win, Norwich to keep a clean sheet....should be worth a few quid..😂💰Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted February 22, 2018 Many thanks for the kind introduction and for the opportunity to do this for yet another year Eddie. I''m wishing everyone good luck and sending the very best of luck to Diane with the Norwich picks.I''ll be making my selections tomorrow evening. I don''t think it''s going to be as late as previous years. I am aiming for pre 9pm. As always, I''ll give everybody''s picks full consideration.Good luck & best wishes [:)][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted February 22, 2018 Going to get in early with the match bet. I''m feeling rather positive and hope that our 2 goals away at the league leaders can spur us on to be more effective in the final third. Bolton are the worse team in the league away from home. They usually score only 0 or 1. Despite having the worst away record, they don''t often get a hammering. They usually concede only 1 or 2. However, I think we can buck that trend and also ours of struggling to score.I also think Leitner is due a goal and fancy him to score. On the basis of all of the above I therefore fancy a scorecast. One of the following, or perhaps two may be worth a cheeky 50p each? - Moritz Leitner to score 1st & Norwich to win 3-0- Moritz Leitner to score anytime & Norwich to win 3-0Good luck everyone, the very best of luck Diane [:)][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted February 22, 2018 Hello everyone!!Haven’t done this in a while so will go fairly simple in frances with a home win for 5th place Nates against 18th place Amiens!For the Norwich match, if I was going to have a bet myself I’d go for one of WillHills stats treble bets at 8/1 under 2.5 goals/under 10 corners/under 4 cards!Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platonic 1 Posted February 22, 2018 Hi allGetting in early with what I think is a bit of a value bet, Burnley to beat Southampton. The odds pretty good for a team that everyone was praising a few short weeks ago, and whilst injuries are taking their toll I''m pretty sure Dyche will bully them into a return to form at some point, and who better but against the ever unreliable Southampton. For Norwich, what a difference two games make, I was hating this season, now it feels quite a lot of fun all of a sudden. I think any bet containing Norwich to score the last goal or Norwich to win the second half is a good shout.Good luck all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 5,693 Posted February 22, 2018 Welcome back Gingerpele! [:D]I agree with Ian that RB Leipzig are good value at 8/15 to beat rock-bottom Cologne in the Bundesliga. I hope that doesn''t jinx you, Ian, as my form has been truly woeful in recent weeks!As for the Norwich match, I think Norwich to win and BTTS at 3/1 is good value, especially when compared to the straight win price of a meagre 8/13.Very best of luck to Slim, Diane and all PUPs!

Hansterbubble 55 Posted February 22, 2018 Hello everyone. I’m still reeling from the excitement of all these last minute goals so I’m hoping my picks aren’t too giddy!I am heading to Portugal, where in a challenge to my spelling, I predict that Paços de Ferreira will be overcome by BENFICA for an away win.Bolton haven’t scored away in the Championship this year (I think) so controversially I think they may pinch one, but the mighty yellows have been good at overcoming adversity recently, which all adds up to a Norwich victory with both teams to score.Good luck with the picks and good luck City!

PurpleCanary 6,213 Posted February 22, 2018 The Greek Football League (expected arrival of odds permitting).OFI to win at home against Panserrraikos.OFI, second, have a 7-0-1 and 24/4 home record, and have won their last four, with a 12-0 goal tally. Panserraikos, one from bottom, have a 1-1-7 and 8/17 away record.---For the match bet I suggest Norwich City to win and Zimmermann to score, at 16/1.Good luck to all!
