nutty nigel 6,936 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus. Picture shows our presentation in 2019. 2020's presentation was £3,000 but we haven't been able to get together since. Last week was a great effort by all and was just one of those weeks where we weren’t destined to win either picks. But yet we did win through being here because since the weekend I have received another £10 for our presentation pot and another £25 to add to what we already sent to Sarcoma UK in honour of top PUP and superfan ChelleCity. Here’s a record of the that and the latest totals : - This week we have Pockthorpe picking the final six results. Pockthorpe joined us a few months ago and has become a brilliant asset to our team and really supportive of all we do. I love having him with us and am so glad he could get a turn at the six this season. So let’s help him onto Ray’s honours board by picking some great options from the games played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this weekend that are listed on the Bet 365 web site. We have Kathy making the picks for our game against West Ham. Kathy is having a great season and with just three weeks to go is top of our PUPs league and making a strong challenge for the profitability version which she has won before. Making the Norwich picks during these strange times is proving really difficult. However you PUPs have been creative in your suggestions and I’m sure between us we can find some great options for Kathy. 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 CSF and the groups we help fund 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/ So now I’ll hand the thread over to Pockthorpe and Kathy. 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 pan-disability boys and girls. Good luck Gary and Kathy, the thread is yours..............

TIL 1010 4,285 Posted July 8, 2020 A very good evening to you Nutty and good luck to Pockthorpe and the old girl from Reepham not forgetting of course all you other lovely PUPs out there. Like Sid i am off to Spain and a HOME WIN for SEVILLA v Mallorca. For the Norwich bet Draw H/T Draw F/T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 654 Posted July 8, 2020 Thanks for the intro Nutty. Truth is I've been very lucky this season both with the PUP picks and the PUP pools. I think I've used up all the teams luck and thats why they've had such a disappointing season. I'll need a bit more than luck though to forecast City's game. I still believe they've got a good result left in them this season but will it be this Saturday? Who knows. Therefore I'd welcome as many suggestions as possible. I'll give them all a thorough going over and be back here Friday evening with my selections. For my PUP pick this week I'll go to the Czech league. Dupla Prague to beat Varnsdorf please. Good luck PT and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,411 Posted July 8, 2020 Spain for me too. Real Madrid have been in excellent form since the restart, opening up a healthy lead at the top of the table, and bet365 have them priced up at 9/20 to beat Granada. I'm not confident at all about the Norwich game, so why not West Ham and BTTS at 11/4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 110 Posted July 8, 2020 LAZIO v Sassuolo HOME WIN Good luck Pockthorpe and all you Lovely PUPs For the Norwich bet I'm going for an optimistic 1-1. Best of luck Kathy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pockthorpe 490 Posted July 8, 2020 Cheers Nutty . Hello lovely Pups . All contributions for the final six results will be much appreciated. I’ll make my selections about 8pm on Friday Nutty . Very best of luck to you Kathy. The Norwich picks are bloody tough at the moment. I think I’ve got the easier part of the deal this weekend ! I’ll go for a 2-2 draw .

NFN FC 1,029 Posted July 8, 2020 Evening all, I'll pop over to Italy for my pick with Brescia vs Roma AWAY WIN And for us Godfrey to score at any time. Good luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,265 Posted July 8, 2020 Good Evening Pups hope everyone has had their port and cheese to finish off the evening. I've not. For you Pockthorpe my favourite league to look into. The Korean League 1 Pohang Steelers v Suwon Bluewings - Home Win. Pohang's home form looks not so good, but two of those games are loses against Jeonbok and Ulsan. Two giants of the league so it looks to me that Pohang are in form and Suwom have been struggling against everyone. For Kathy hopefully you hit something this week A Penalty to be awarded A 2:2 Draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincsy88 92 Posted July 9, 2020 Good Morning everybody. I shall plump for Barcelona to win away at Valladolid please. For the Norwich bet I shall go for a simple BTTS. Good luck to everybody especially those doing the picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jellytot 40 Posted July 9, 2020 Well I think Swansea are going to beat leeds on sunday so that's my pick please! Norwich bet , Big Ben Godfrey to score anytime Good luck everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parma Ham's gone mouldy 1,969 Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) In bocca al lupo Pockthorpe e tutti Voi PUPetti...️ Not tons of obvious choices this weekend, may have to be a little creative and stretch the algorithm a little bit... Suggest a trip to Croatia for: Inter Zapresic vs HNK Rijeka - Away win As for the excellent Kathy’s Norwich bet, I like to let you heart rule my head on these ones - with tremendously limited success it must be said - so naturally I shall double-down in mindless Baldrick-fashion optimism and go for a cunning tricast: Buendia to score, Norwich to win, less than 3 City yellow cards ️ Parma Edited July 9, 2020 by Parma Ham's gone mouldy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 6,936 Posted July 9, 2020 Inter let us down last weekend but I believe they will win this weekend at home to Torino on Monday evening. So my offering for Pockthorpe is : - Inter Milan v Torino Home Win For Kathy.. I was close to picking a Norwich home win for my pick above. But it's not the best I could find so didn't. However I do think Norwich have a great chance of a win. West Ham's away record since Christmas is LLLLLLLD. In the same time Norwich's home record is DDWLWLLL. Now I know home advantage is not what it was when we picked up those good results, but with a Norwich Home Win at 14/5 it must be worth a quid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,267 Posted July 9, 2020 The Norra section of the Swedish Ettan. Sylvia to win at home against Berga. Sylvia, top, have won five (and all those that were at home) and drawn one of their first six games, with a 12/5 goal difference. Berga, bottom, have lost all six, with a 4/17 goal difference. The odds are a reasonable 1/5. --- For the NCFC bet, it will happen eventually, so my suggestion again is Idah to score the last goal, at 17/2. Good luck to all!

ZLF 242 Posted July 10, 2020 Lazio home win v sassuolo for me As for city Idah to score and under 2.5 goals. Good luck all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,279 Posted July 10, 2020 Hi all, off to the Greek Super League regelation round with Xanthi vs. Asteras Tripolis (away win). For the City game our luck has to change eventually so I'll go for City HT/City FT. Best of luck everyone! Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathy 654 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Thank you for trusting me Nutty. It's a bit like playing battleship and cruisers doing this at the moment. I’m going to use my tried and tested technique by focussing on the most successful posters. £1 Penalty to be awarded/2-2 - Kiwi £1 Idah last goal - Purple £1 Buendia anytime/Norwich win/under 3 yellows for Norwich - Parma £1 Vrancic to score at any time - Cosmic £1 HT draw/FT draw - Til1010 £1 Godfrey to score at any time - Lincsy £1 West Ham to win 2-1 - Hammond £1 1-1 - Doris £1 Onel to score GregT £1 HT Norwich/Full time Norwich - Apples I've sent Nutty an extra tenner and I will spend it thus: £2 Jared Bowen to score anytime £2 Josh Martin last goal £2 Both teams to score No £2 0-3 £2 Norwich to win Let’s hope we hit the aircraft carrier or failing that, at least one destroyer!

Fantastic Pockthorpe. And thanks so much for the extra tenner. Both sets look nailed on to me and surely only the cruelest misfortune can stop us adding to the pot. I placed the first set with Bet 365 where the potential return is £40.55. Here are the details... Liverpool 2/9 15:00 Sat Sylvia 1/5 15:00 Sat Dukla Praha 1/5 16:00 Sat Lazio 3/5 16:15 Sat Rijeka 1/5 17:55 Sat Osijek 1/5 20:05 Sat The extra set I placed with Bill Hill where the potential return was boosted to £80.85. Here are those details... Jeonbuk 7/20 11:00 Sat Roma 4/9 18:30 Sat Barcelona 3/10 18:00 Sat Atletico 47/100 21:00 Sat Sevilla 38/100 21:00 Sun Real Madrid 4/9 21:00 Mon Everything is tomorrow until Real Madrid who play on Monday night. Let's hope we are waiting for that result after tomorrow. Good luck Gary and all you PUPs Edited July 11, 2020 by nutty nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
