Good luck to you all (especially those fighting at the top) Thanks NFN for this wonderful six. I was worried for you as the season spluttered to a close but you've done a terrific job and given us every chance of ending with another win. I've placed them with Bet 365 where the potential return is an exciting £102.27. Here are the details... Pitea 2/7 11:45 Sat Odd 4/6 17:00 Sat Young Boys 1/4 15:00 Sun Arsenal 10/11 16:00 Sun Midtylland 3/5 18:00 Sun Juventus 1/4 20:45 Sun So we have two games tomorrow and the last four on Sunday. Good luck NFN and all you PUPs🤞🍀👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All it needs now is a congratulatory message from @TIL 1010 and the PUPs will be £30 better off..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your picks have been part of many a winning six. Unlucky NFN. Sometimes it's not meant to be. You're a great asset to our team and I'm sure you'll crack this next season. Well done Kathy.

Cosmic Twin 189 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) That’s so unlucky NFN FC. It was a great battle at the top of the PUPs League. Unlucky this week, Purple. It obviously wasn’t meant to be. Congratulations Kathy! 🎉🥳🏆 To be so consistent with an excellent profitability over an unusual season makes you a deserved winner.

Cosmic Twin 189 Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks for all your suggestions for the match bet. I’ve tried to strike some sort of balance between positivity and negativity! So here goes . . . £1 on the following:- Man City to win both halves Norwich to miss a penalty Yellow card for Krul 2 penalties to be awarded BTTS Hernandez to score any time Zimmermann to score any time Idah to score last Draw Norwich to win Good Luck to the Canaries! 💛💚🐥 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is quasi-philosophical paradox set by a Greek named Zeno which 'proves' that if the hare starts a bit behind the tortoise it can never catch up, because whenever the hare reaches the point where the tortoise was the tortoise will have moved on. I started to identify with this because having fallen one win behind I was always reaching the point you had moved on from! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,746 Posted July 25, 2020 So the trusty old pin and the default of others have seen the old bird from Reepham across the line. The success after all these years of trying is somewhat reminiscent of Liverpool winning the Premier League after 30 years. In the interest of looking at the big picture of adding to the PUPs pot may i say well done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone get word to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 189 Posted July 25, 2020 Two penalties to be awarded was Diesel Doris’ suggestion and after last week I thought it should be picked! 😆 Just looked under penalties on William Hill and Bet365 but also can’t see that option either. Hmmm . . . maybe another option of ‘Norwich at least 1 card in each half’ which is #YourOdds on William Hill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone get word to them Citeh score and Pukki misses a pen in the 1st half. Onel makes it 1-1 then Zimbo scores to put us ahead 2-1 with a few mins left. Krul gets a yellow in 94th minute for time wasting. When he finally launches it upfield Idah makes it 3-1. Result. If Carlsberg did the Norwich game...

All week I've been looking at Juve after they blew their chance to win the league a couple of days ago, but I see several PUPs have already selected that game. It would rather look like picking low hanging fruit. I'm therefore going to give the old Purple Picker a chance and go for a trickier one. I'll probably regret this but here goes: Malavan v Shahrdari Tabriz F.C in the Iranian League - home win. I'll know soon enough if I've failed as @TIL 1010 will be on the phone before the refs put his whistle back in his pocket. Malavan won 7-0🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
