nutty nigel 6,952 Posted July 15, 2020 Instead of a picture let's start with a video this week. This was a great day and makes me look forward even more to when we can all get back together. If you watch closely you'll see a few PUPs too.. Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus. We are in good hands this week, for the penultimate week of this long and unprecedentedly difficult season, with intrepid, consistent and top PUP PurpleCanary picking the final six results. Purple is always among our most consistent pickers and is once again in contention to win our PUPs league having had me searching the world for his 33/35 winning selections. Purple has two wins beside his name on Ray’s Honours Board so let’s help him to a personal hat-trick with our best picks from the games played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this weekend that are listed on the Bet 365 web site. We have Diesel Doris making the picks for our game against Burnley. Diesel, who also has two wins on Ray’s Honours Board, bravely accepted what’s proving to be a thankless challenge. The Norwich picks have become nightmare territory since the lockdown so let’s help Diesel with some creative picks from the ones listed on Bet365. 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/ Once again our presentation pot leapt up during the week and now stands at £974 all added since we presented the £3,000 we had at the start of lockdown. So now I’ll hand the thread over to PurpleCanary and Diesel Doris. 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 Purple and Trish, the thread is yours.............

Hissing Sid 138 Posted July 15, 2020 What a wonderful video. It truly was a great day. And a few familiar faces in there as well as our much missed Chellecity. A Saturday evening offering from Turkey this week... Trabsonspor (9-5-2 40-19 home) v Konyaspor (3-5-8 16-27 away) - Home Win. For the match bet, Adam Idah to score the last goal. Best of luck Purple, Doris and all you PUPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 656 Posted July 15, 2020 Evening PUPs. Norway for me this week please. Rosenbourg to beat Sandfjord. For City's game, BTTS no. Good luck Purple and Storm Doris . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 110 Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks for the kind intro Eddie. Looking forward to the (almost) impossible challenge!! Hope to win something for the pot. I'll put my selections up about 9pm on Friday. For Purple: WOLVES V Crystal Palace HOME WIN Good Luck Purple and all you Lovely PUPs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,273 Posted July 15, 2020 Good evening. I just about recognise myself from Nutty's introduction. I will start to look at selections about 7pm or 8pm UK time on Friday, to give as much time as possible for odds to appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,289 Posted July 15, 2020 A very good evening to you Nutty and good luck to Purple, Doris and all you other lovely PUPs out there. Off to Turkey and a HOME WIN for GALATASARAY v Goztepe AS. For the Norwich bet both teams to score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,279 Posted July 16, 2020 Hi PUPs, I'll stay in the Greek Superleague relegation round where the odds are all over the place and go for Atromitos vs. Panionios (home win). For the City bet I'll go for Pukki to go wild and grab a brace. Best of luck everyone! Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 6,952 Posted July 16, 2020 For Purple I'm going to join Sid and Tilly in Turkey where I think... Istanbul v Kayserispor Home Win For Diesel Doris, maybe there'll be some penalty shenanigans so I'll suggest... Yellow card for Tim Krul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,029 Posted July 16, 2020 I'm not going as far as Turkey, I'll stop in România for a change. FCSB V Cluj AWAY win And for the City game 0-2 Burnley win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parma Ham's gone mouldy 1,969 Posted July 16, 2020 Goodness me, a couple of real PUP power hitters this week....good hands ️ Not really anything that fits the algorithm this week, though quite a few that look likely and reasonably strong value for Purple. Not my usual territory, though suspect form, firepower and ambition will prevail in Norway for: Mjondalen vs Bodo/Glimt - Away win As for Diesel’s Norwich bet, we must surely see some form of positive outcome this week.The coaching playbook has gone from model, to Rainbow Pollyanna and back to a 1-0-1 low block defending reset. That reset is intended to offer some sort of platform, so how about a tricast of: Norwich clean sheet, at least 3 Norwich yellow cards, BTTS no.

Pockthorpe 490 Posted July 16, 2020 Hello dear Pups . Purple , I’ll say Leeds to win and clinch promotion at Derby this Sunday , 8/11 I believe. As much as it pains me to say , they do deserve it this season . Diesel Doris .... blimey it’s tough ! I’ll say Todd Cantwell to score first . Very best of luck to you both ! OTBC .

ZLF 242 Posted July 17, 2020 My tip of doom is a preston home win. As for city a 0-0 is my prediction. Good luck pups! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,412 Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Juventus haven't been in top form recently, but Lazio have been seriously out of sorts, so a home win at around 4/6 is my tip. For the Norwich game, either the first goal to be a header at 4/1 or the rather left-field McNeil to make fewer than 28.5 passes at 5/6.

lappinitup 629 Posted July 17, 2020 Luton to throw themselves a lifeline with a win at hapless Hull... Hull v Luton .......Away win. For our game... Klose to score anytime @ 14/1. Good luck Purps and Trish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hector Brockelbank 95 Posted July 17, 2020 BRENTFORD AWAY WIN for me please for the match bet how about Chris Wood to score a header Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammond1612 85 Posted July 17, 2020 I’ll go for a slightly risky Man City to beat arsenal in the FA cup. For our match Burnley to win 1-0. Good luck pups! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,273 Posted July 17, 2020 Nutty, am still contemplating my Six, but as we had a load of away suggestions I wonder if we might have a 5-match accumulator on those? I was going to make it six, but with Leeds already promoted perhaps best to leave them out. So it would be: Cluj Bodo/Glimt Luton Jeonbuck Brentford I think you said I had a fiver back from an unused NCFC bet so if that could be used then fine. If not I will add it to the list of what I owe you! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 169 Posted July 17, 2020 Great video, Nutty Nigel! I’m going for a home win for Lokomotiv Gomel v. Khimik Svetlogorsk. Gomel are W3 D4 L0 F16 A5 at home and Svetlogorsk are W0 D1 L9 F3 A23 away. Good Luck, PurpleCanary! It’s a definitely tricky week. I was looking at a couple of games in the lower Icelandic leagues but they haven’t been playing for that long to feel confident enough. For the Norwich bet - got to be positive and go for Tettey to score any time! Good Luck, Diesel Doris! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had seen the Gomel game but couldn't find odds because I cannot get to see the Bet365 site! I have to hope Oddsportal shows their odds, but it doesn't always. And the same applies to two Icelandic games, which may be the ones you've seen. If you have a moment are there Bet365 odds for Leiknir Reykavik in the Icelandic 1 Deild and Kordrengir in the 2 Deild, and Halmstads in the Swedish Superettan?

Diesel Doris 110 Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. Nothing I've seen in the past few weeks gives me any reason to think that we will win tomorrow but I hope I'm wrong. Maybe we are going to do the double over Man City BTTS no - £2 Burnley to win 2-0 - £2 Cantwell to score anytime - £2 Godfrey to score anytime - £2 Idah to score last goal - £2 Could you do these as well Eddie, with the tenner I sent you earler Norwich to win. - £2 HT/FT Burnley/Draw - £2 Red card - £2 BTTS - £2 0 - 0 £2 Good luck everyone, especially Purple 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
