nutty nigel 7,509 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus. Here we are at the halfway stage of our season and we have a birthday double. First up picking the final six results is top PUP and one of our original PUPs with Birthday Boy Hissing Sid. Sid sent me an extra tenner earlier this week because he’s going to be selecting a second six results in honour of Chelle. I think that’s a lovely idea and a great gesture thank you Ian. Sid won’t mind me saying he had a dodgy start this season but he’s back on top form now with four consecutive winning picks. He's is already on the Ray’s honours board as of course is Chelle. Let’s help him to more success with our very best selections form the games played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this weekend that are listed on the Bill Hill or Bet 365 web site. Duncan Edwards is the Birthday Boy making the final selections for our game against Wolves on Saturday. Just like Sid Duncan had a well dodgy start this season but I think he’ll hit form this week and go on to have a brilliant second half. Duncan, you have a tenner to spend choosing from the PUPs selections and your own. Remember we have PUPanons insurance of £2 Norwich lose and £1 draw. So you Birthday Boys, was 21st December 2003 (TOTLAPR) the best one or have there been more memorably birthday games? We’ve been incredibly unlucky with the final six results this year. So many 5/6ers!! I’m expecting the tide to turn now and a run of 6/6ers between now and the end of the season. But don’t get disheartened PUPs whatever happens. Because we still have over two grand in the presentation pot and that only comes because we are here doing what we do. Without this the rest wouldn’t happen. It’s been a different story with the Norwich match selections. Thanks to your picks and PUPanon’s generosity these picks have added £183 to the pot. Here are the latest totals… Next Wednesday is Christmas Day so I’ll get the thread up on Christmas Eve. That’s going to be a challenge for us but we have Til1010 and Jellytot in the hotseats so please try leave them some choices by the Friday evening. As always a massive thank-you to our benefactor PUPanon for making the Norwich match picks possible. Also to all the Pink Un posters who send me pledges and donations. And to our sponsors Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus. Their money all goes straight into the presentation pot. The The CSF and our DS boys and girls really appreciate this support. For more information on our sponsors take a look at their websites below:- http://www.turnereuropeanconsulting.com/ https://www.kareplus.co.uk/norwich/ Now I’ll hand the thread over to Hissing Sid and Duncan Edwards. 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 Downs Syndrome boys and girls. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Ian and Duncan, the thread is yours...🙃.....

Hissing Sid 154 Posted December 18, 2019 Greetings all. Thanks to Nutty for the grand introduction, it's a pleasure to be doing this again. Having a dreadful season so far, hopefully things are turning though. As Nutty mentioned, I will also be posting a line for Chellecity who is greatly missed, not just by me but by many fans, both those who knew her and those on Rays Funds. Did the same last season, my line failed and Chelle's won!!! So, lets have those picks. Going to Serie A for my pick, Inter Milan to win at home vs Genoa. For Duncan, HT/FT Draw/City. Best of luck and Happy Birthday mate. Lastly, Nutty asked about memorable games on Dec 21st. TOTLAPR is top of the list for obvious reasons. Others that spring to mind include a 2-0 home defeat to that lot in 1992 and a 6-1 defeat at Port Vale in 1996! Not a great record!! Merry Christmas everyone. And good luck to us all.

Hissing Sid 154 Posted December 18, 2019 Should have mentioned, I'll be doing the picks early on Friday evening. Out for a birthday meal that night, so will be around 5 or 6pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jellytot 42 Posted December 18, 2019 Millwall to beat Barnsley please. NCFC bet - Buendia to score 1st 💛💚👌 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted December 18, 2019 Inter to win at home to Genoa looks the best bet. Second at home to second bottom and they're priced up at 1/3 which looks very generous- the only issue being that they're down to the bare bones in midfield and attack due to injuries and suspensions.

Adanaspor, one from bottom, have a 0-1-6 and 4/13 away record. The odds are 1/4. —- For the match bet I suggest Zimmermann to score any time, at 22/1. Good luck to all!

With the second set of six in mind, there are some promising Saturday games in the Spanish Tercera with odds available. Probably the best is Moralo to beat Montijo in Group 14, at around 2/5. Barco to beat Pontellas (Group 1) is another possible, at about 1/4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing Sid 154 Posted December 20, 2019 Bump bumpety bump bump Will be posting final lists a little later than originally planned, so let's have your picks folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,219 Posted December 20, 2019 Some good suggestions already. I’ll make a final call in a bit. Birthday football has generally been pretty good apart from one particular defeat which I never think about. Top of the League at PR was a very happy 25th but I think trouncing Millwall 6-1 on my 7th birthday was just as good. A goal for every year. Just the 41 to match that tomorrow then... For Hissing Sid - I haven’t been right yet btw - A Swansea away win at Luton..🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hector Brockelbank 95 Posted December 20, 2019 Portsmouth v Ipswich DRAW Not my usual m.o but Portsmouth draw a lot against the better sides and Ipswich are in a slight slump compared to earlier In the season so the 5/2 about the draw looks a decent poke. for the match bet 2-2 Pukki & Jota both to score good luck & merry Xmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregt 66 Posted December 20, 2019 My pick this week is BARCELONA V alves HOME WIN For the Norwich bet 2-1 home win merry Christmas pups good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
