AJ 1,218 Posted August 7, 2019 Hi all, lovely to be back after what now feels like a rather long break! For the 6, Spurs to spank Villa in their opening game. For the match bet, Pukki to score Norwich's first goal of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted August 8, 2019 Hi Eddie and pups everywhere, good to get stuck in again. Ajax to beat FC Emmen for me please and for us, has to be a 3-2 away win. Good luck all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,443 Posted August 8, 2019 Not ready to choose my top 6 pick yet and its getting funny how so many of my possible choices have been choosen already. Its like we all think alike. For the Norwich Pick well its VAR this season so maybe penalties are our best bet rather than goalscorers. Norwich to score a penalty at 17/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 173 Posted August 8, 2019 Happy New Season everyone. I'll go with a Coventry away win at Bolton. Looks a no brainer. While I don't think we'll win the game, I fancy us to create chances against anyone, so Norwich to score over 1.5 goals at 6/1 is one I like the look of. Liverpool to win 5-2 is 50/1 also.

Hansterbubble 55 Posted August 8, 2019 It’s a tricky week in some ways, with some unpredictable early season form. I’m going for a slightly risky pick with Cardiff to beat Luton. For the match bet I’m going for a spectacular 0-2 victory! Good luck everyone🤞😁 I’d be delighted to do the picks on 31 August, thanks Nutty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted August 8, 2019 Happy new season everybody hold on tight it might be a bumpy ride lets enjoy it. My bet this week is Hull City to beat Reading For the match bet its a head over heart matter and I can't see us getting anything from this match Sorry but its a 4-0 home win for me Good luck to the pickers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,231 Posted August 8, 2019 Ipswich v SUNDERLAND. Away win. Available at 6/4 on SkyBet. If they have real aspirations of promotion they’ll need to be picking up points on the road at crud teams. For the Norwich bet I’d go 30+ booking points for the mighty yellows. Available at 2/1 on SkyBet. Buendia at 11/2 to pick up the first yellow is tempting too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted August 9, 2019 OK then, I've tried to include most of the selections and I've tried to include a balanced spread of the ambitious and the realistic. I've also searched the best price where possible. £1 on the following: Norwich to score @2.0 (Bet365) Both teams to score @2.2 (Hills) Draw/Liverpool @4.2 (Hills) Under 3.5 goals @1.9 (Bet365) Over 3.5 goals @1.9 (Bet365) Norwich to score over 1.5 goals @6.5 (Bet365) Liverpool margin of victory: 1 goal @4.0 (Bet365) A penalty to be awarded @3.0 (Bet365) 50p on the following: Pukki first scorer @17.0 (Bet365) Godfrey anytime scorer @17.0 (Hills) Norwich to win @21.0 (Hills) Buendia first card @6.0 (Hills) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 189 Posted August 9, 2019 It's great to have the PUPs thread up and running again. Thanks to both Nutty Nigel for all his hard work, and PUPanon for his/her continued generosity. I'm going for a home win for Aalesund v. Strommen in Norway's 1. Division. Aalesund are W7 D0 L0 F19 A4 at home and Strommen are W1 D2 L5 F6 A15 away. Good Luck, First Wazzock! Too late for the Norwich Bet - Good Luck, WWIAFTM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted August 9, 2019 Good luck everyone and welcome to all new PuP pickers Big thank you as always to NN and to Pup Anon for his continued generosity Would have gone for a 0-0 for the City game on odds alone - @26.0 Norway and a home win for Rosenborg v Tromse @1.38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,443 Posted August 9, 2019 Hello from soggy Alba. My Top 6 pick is.... Norway Division 3 group 2 Drobak-Frogn v Ullern, away win. Best of luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster 134 Posted August 9, 2019 As Lappinitup said, many thanks to Eddie for all your hard work and many thanks to PuPanon for all your hard earned cash. Leicester to draw with Wolves at 11/5. (As Lappinitup) I would also have gone for 2-2 draw in our game. Good Luck both FW and WWIAFTM (excuse my abbreviation). Nutty - I have seen an almost universal forecast that the top 4 this year will be: 1. Man C 2. Liverpool 3. Spurs 4 Arsenal I don't know my way round the bookies sites well enough to know what the odds are on this. Likewise, I wonder if it's worthwhile doing another outright winners accumulator bet for: 1. Scotland - Celtic 2. France - PSG 3. England - Man C 4. Italy - Juventus 5. Spain - Barcelona 6. Netherlands - Ajax 7. Greece - Olympiakos and any other 'certs' that others may wish to add. Feel free to delete as well if any of these look dodgy. Either way, I've sent you a tenner so you can put a fiver on both bets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hector Brockelbank 95 Posted August 9, 2019 Apologies for not contributing to this incredible thread the last couple of seasons. Looks like you guys have been doing a great job for this wonderful cause. my selection this week is a HOME WIN for FLEETWOOD v afc Wimbledon. I see I am too late for the match bet, but would have gone for Drmic to score last. Finally I would like to make a pledge of 10% of any returns from my £10 ew bet on Norwich to win the handicap +56 with bill hill 15-1 1/4 the odds 4 places. Good luck pups🤞🏻 Hector p.s a tenners on its way nutty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted August 9, 2019 On 05/08/2019 at 14:41, PurpleCanary said: Thanks to Nutty for keeping this wonderful fund-raising thread going, and to PUPanon and the sponsors for their financial support. For Friday's doddle of an opener I looked at the odds for Anytime Goalscorer, and found there were 10 Liverpool players listed before Pukki got a mention... Even so, I would suggest either McLean, at 11/1, or Godfrey (a set piece perhaps?) at 14/1. I will wait for odds to appear later in the week for the accumulator bet. Good luck to all! The Norwegian 1. Division. Aalesund to win at home against Strommen. Aalesund, top, have a 7-0-0 and 19/4 home record. Strommen, 14th out of 16, have a 1-2-5 and 6/15 away record. They have won their last two games, but at home to the team in 12th and away to the bottom team. Recently they lost 3-0 away to the team in 15th. The odds are 2/5, which may indicate it isn't the obvious home win it appears to me to be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219 Posted August 9, 2019 What a joy to be part of the brilliant PUPs again!! Thank you so much Nutty...you deserve huge credit for keeping on keeping on and making this one of the most rewarding places on the internet, bravo fratello 👍👏🏆 Thank you to the generous PUPAnon too 👌👏 For First Wazzock’s accumulator, I think that Göteborg will be far too potent attacking-wise for the rather ropey Kungsbacka defence in the Swedish Damallsvenskan. Göteborg vs Kungsbacka - Home win As for WWIAFTM’s City bet....I really think Norwich will win 🏆👌....20/1?...two horse race? Come on!!! Liverpool vs Norwich - Away win Love and peace to all 👌☀️ Parma 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
