PurpleCanary 5,287 Posted August 13, 2021 Many thanks to Nutty for keeping this going and to the sponsors for their financial support. Group A of the Etela Section of the Finish Kolmonen. FC Espoo to win at home against NuPS. FC Espoo have an overall 3-2-3 and 16/10 record, but since losing at home to high-flying SexyPoxyt they have drawn away and then had 6-1 and 5-1 wins against teams just above NuPS. NuPS, bottom, have an overall 0-1-7 and 7/26 record. Their sole point came against the team immediately above them. The odds are around 1/5. - For the match bet I suggest an optimistic (or is it?!) Norwich City to score in each half of the game. Good luck to all! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newyorkcanary 14 Posted August 13, 2021 Hi All, It's been a while! I'm going for a Burton Albion HOME WIN over Ipswich (currently 15/8!). For Norwich, I'm hoping there are odds for this, but scoreless (0-0) at HT. Great to be back! Newyorkcanary (Justin) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted August 13, 2021 Hello! After a season's hiatus I am back (hopefully for the season). Early season picks are hard but PSG to beat Strasbourg seems a good a bet as any. As for our game, it's a tough one but I'll go with both teams to score and leave it at that. Eddie, if I see you soon I'll chuck you a tenner. Good luck everyone. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 1,983 Posted August 13, 2021 Bravo bravo @nutty nigel…the best thing about this forum and a wonderful thing to be part of….thank you I think for Kiwi that a trip to Norway - where one of my partners currently is having a joyful time - might be well worth a visit for the Toppserien W game: Lillestrom vs Klepp - Home win As for Hanster’s Norwich bet I can’t see past the excellent call from @Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man for the Lees-Melou first yellow at 11-1…that looks a great spot In bocca al lupo Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,265 Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Alrighty then sports fans. Lots of good suggestions and I've tried to find all sorts of reasons to count in/discount a team, but in the end I've gone for 1 six that seems tight and another with more flair. I've also added a 2nd pick from myself as I found Rubin Kazin to win at 11/10. They seem to have done well so far and also last season and they are playing a team just promoted who are not doing well. Seems a great find, but the odds are to risky for my main six. Main Six - Tight Kuressaare v Flora - Away Win(My Pick not for stats) - Estonian Meistriliiga Breidablik v. I Akranes - Home Win - Iceland Pepsideild Chelsea v Palace - Home Win Lillestrom Women vs Klepp Women - Home Win - Toppserien Women Ajax v NEC - Home Win Sevilla v Vallecano - Home Win Alternative Six - Flair Rubin Kazan v Krylya Sovetov Samara - Home Win (My Pick for Stats) - Russian Premier League Kashiwa Reysol v Kawasaki Frontale - Away Win - J-League Raith v Aberdeen - Away Win - Scottish League Cup Barcelona v Real Sociedad - Home Win Heracles v PSV - Away Win Leicester v Wolves - Home Win Nutty I'll get you another tenner.

nutty nigel 6,962 Posted August 13, 2021 Wow it's great to be back doing this. I already get the feeling this season's PUPs could be the strongest team yet. It's great to see so many top PUPs from last year along with top PUPs returning from before. I think we're in for a great season Thanks so much for your selections @KiwiScot and the extra tenner and second set. I honestly think if we get the bit of luck we always need then we could get both sets home. I've placed the first set with Bet 365 where the potential return is £30.68. Here are the details.. Lillestrom W 1/6 14:00 Sat Chelsea 2/9 15:00 Sat Flora Tallin 1/12 17:00 Sat Ajax 1/10 20:00 Sat Breidablik 1/4 18:00 Sun Sevilla 4/9 21:15 Sun The second set have an exciting potential return of £242.69. Here are those details.. Kawasaki Frontale 11/20 11:00 Sat Leicester 4/6 15:00 Sat PSV 2/5 17:45 Sat Aberdeen 17/20 12:00 Sun Rubin Kazan 11/10 18:00 Sun Barcelona 8/11 19:00 Sun Both sets are nicely spread between Sat and Su. so it should be fun following them over the weekend. Good luck KiwiScot and all you PUPs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hansterbubble 55 Posted August 14, 2021 Good morning PUPs, It’s a real pleasure to be doing the match picks today. The sun is out here in SE London, it’s the first game of the season and a world of possibilities lay ahead of us. Liverpool will be a tough start, but I’m wearing the Norwich City socks that came with my away membership which surely will bring us a bit of luck both in the match and with the picks! Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. BTTS was a clear favourite so I’ve come up with a bit a strategy around that. BTTS - £2 Lees-Melou first yellow card £1 Lees-Melou to score anytime £1 Gilmour to score anytime £1 Todd to score anytime £1 Pukki to score anytime £1 Tzolis to score last £1 Full time result: Draw £1 Liverpool and BTTS no £1 The last cover bet hurts my heart a little, especially as it is my pick, so COYY prove me wrong! ️ Good luck to my picking partner, those look excellent choices Kiwi.

The Great Drinkell 49 Posted August 14, 2021 Hi all, ive been away from this thread for a few years as i lost my love with football in general. Back for the new season - all be it too late for the pickers. My pick for the 6 would of been Portsmouth to beat Crewe For the match bet i'd suggest draw at half time away win full time . Good luck all and well dont nutty for keeping this thread going especially in the last 12 months 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,265 Posted August 14, 2021 Well that's typical isn't it. The J-League is a risky place, but Kawasaki had such good form and out of place so for he J-League it seemed worth it. Still Chelsea winning and Lillestrom nearly home in the other set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
