Rays Funds for the CSF with the PUPs Season 16 Week 35

[nutty nigel 7,539]

 

Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare.

This week we have @littleyellowbirdie making the final six selectons. Lyb joined our team during the season so doesn’t have enough weeks to register on our league tables but I’ve seen enough to know he will be a force to be reckoned with next season. Lyb did win with a great strategy when making BTTS earlier this season so let’s help him to winning double with our very best selections from the games played on Sat, Sun or Mon of this weekend that are listed on Bet 365.

We have @Hammond1612 making the final selections for City’s at Blackburn on Friday. He’s also sent me a tenner to do Monday’s game at home to Rotherham. Dan will be making the selections for Friday’s game on Thursday evening so we need to be on the ball for that one. But we can hang fire with the Monday pick until the weekend. Dan is having an amazing season at the top of our PUPs league and has two wins on the Arrdee honours board. He’s also won before when making the Norwich match picks so let’s find him some great options for both Easter games from those listed on Bet 365 or Bill Hill.

 Just need @Parma Ham's gone mouldy and @Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man to confirm their dates and the rota will be finished for another season.

Final Six

15^th April - Inchy - Confirmed

22^nd April – @Parma Ham's gone mouldy

As always a massive thank-you to our new benefactor PUPanon2 for making the Norwich match picks possible this season. Also to PUPanon1 and all the Pink Un posters who send me pledges and donations. And to our wonderful sponsors Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare. The sponsorship, pledges and donations all go straight into the presentation pot. It makes a massive difference to the amount we raise and I know the CSF and our DS and Pan-disability boys and girls really appreciate this support. For more information on our sponsors take a look at their websites below:-

Now I’ll hand the thread over to Littleyellowbirdie and Hammond 1612. 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 and pan-disability boys and girls.

Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Adam and Dan, the thread is yours...

Greetings all! Lille to beat Angers in France for me

For Fridays game Blackburn to win 2-0 sadly 

[TIL 1010 4,750]

A very good evening to you Nutty and obviously very good luck to @littleyellowbirdie and @Hammond1612 not forgetting of course all you other lovely PUPs out there.

Off to the land of the wooden shoes and a HOME WIN for PSV v Excelsior.

For the City game 0-0 draw.

[Hissing Sid 154]

A Saturday evening offering from Portugal this week

Braga (3rd, 8-2-2 23-6 home) v Estoril (15th, 3-2-8 10-17 away) - Home Win 

For the match bet, a Desmond (2-2).

Best of luck LYB, Dan, and all you PUPs 

[KiwiScot 1,450]

Airdrie v Montrose - Home Win. Airdrie seem on good form at the moment after doing well at the beginning of the season and then falling off midway. Hopefully they can cement a playoff play this weekend.

For the Blackburn game. 1 nil blackburn
For the Rotherham game - Norwich to win by 2 goals.

And with Todays news. Pukki to score. Many, first, last with his head and with Stormy Daniels!

Last season, Man City to win at Southampton was the last match in my final six and they let me down. Man City to exorcise my demons at 2/9.

I'm not confident for our game, and we're actually favourites to win surprisingly, but I still won't go for a Blackburn win. Instead, maybe McLean to be booked at 9/2, or McLean first yellow at 18/1.

And I confirm for the 22nd. Apologies for not confirming last week, but I was under the influence  while posting on Friday evening and it slipped my mind.

[Hammond1612 92]

Thanks for the introduction Eddie, I’ll be back tomorrow evening for the Blackburn picks. For my pick this week I’ll go for the Welsh premier league and a home win for Aberystwyth Town against Airbus UK. 

[sonyc 5,526]

For the 6 it's been a choice from two (Hamburger or Dresden in the German leagues 2 and 3) and I'm going with Dresden because they are second in the form table and they should have enough to overcome Essen.

For us, we are probably due a few goals. I am not confident of a result at Blackburn but with the Pukki news today then I can just see him scoring. Definitely. I think over 2.5 goals, BTTS and Teemu.

And I would actually go the same for our Rotherham game (but just over 2.5 and Teemu to score as a double).

Best of luck @littleyellowbirdieand @Hammond1612 and all Pups.

[littleyellowbirdie 2,551]

Evening, all. Thanks again for the invite, Nutty. I'm looking forward to this. 🙂

I'll make the final six picks Friday evening about 8PM. Good luck,@Hammond1612and the rest of you!

[nutty nigel 7,539]

For Lyb Ajax upset us last week but I'm giving them the chance to make amends on Sunday...

Ajax          v          Fortuna Sittard          Home Win

For Hammond1612 on Friday I keep doing it but I'll have another try with...

Kenny to score with a header

I'll pick something for Monday after Friday's game.

 

 

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,220]

For Hammy’s Blackburn pick I suppose we have to assume the 3 striker policy continues. 

Football logic says that Pukki will score. I’d certainly go with that.

We cannot afford to play for anything other than wins, so I also think we can assume goals are the aim.

Open and attacking also equals conceding more space and opportunities against, so BTTS looks likely.

We are not great closers, Blackburn need points too, so a draw not a bad bet.

How about a slightly more specific quadcast of:

Pukki to score, BTTS, more than 3.5 goals, draw, 2-2?…🤗

Parma

BESIKTAS v Giresunspor HOME WIN

Good Luck @littleyellowbirdie and all you Lovely PUPs

For the Norwich bets, v Blackburn - BTTS. v Rotherham - HT/FT Draw/Norwich

Best of luck @Hammond1612

[NFN FC 1,123]

Osasuna v Elche

Sara to score from outside the box 

Good luck everyone 

OTBC 💛💚💛💚

[PurpleCanary 5,562]

For the Blackburn match I see Pukki scoring a penalty, so I suggest a treble of BTTS, Pukki to score, and Norwich City to score a penalty.

[GMF 747]

I do rather fancy Ipswich to comfortably beat Wycombe, but that’s a Friday game, so let’s see if I can curse them on Easter Monday, picking them to win away at Cheltenham Town.

Good luck all PUPS.

[Mr Apples 1,320]

Hi PUPs a must win, 6 pointer, bargain basement duel this weekend with former Canaries feeder club HAMILTON ACADEMICAL VS. COVE RANGERS (home win).

For the Blackburn game Hanley to score anytime.

All the best everyone!

Apples

[Leedscanary 342]

This week has to be the week for HANLEY anytime! (same prediction for both games, Dan)

For LYB, I fancy FULHAM v WEST HAM - DRAW

Good luck everyone

Leedscanary

[Indy 3,301]

Good luck PUPS...

Here we go Pardubice V Sparta Prague on Sunday away win as Sparta hunt the league title.

For City it's a tough game and we are prone to conceding....3-0 to Blackburn & as others Hanley to score, but for me an Own Goal.....

OTBC.

[TIL 1010 4,750]

Only just noticed that Daniel has sent an extra tenner for the Rothereham game on Monday so i will be reckless and throw caution to the wind and go for Idah to score at anytime.

[Inch High aka Inchy.. 405]

Right, lets start with tomorrows game...

Norwich away win please.

Now to this weekends games. I can't identify a stand out draw so will have to go boring....

Celtic v Rangers....Home win.

The very best of luck to both @littleyellowbirdie and @Hammond1612 this week and also all our fellow pup's.

[Mr Angry 1,563]

For the Final Six I predict a Home Win for Besiktas v Giresunspor.

For the Norwich match, Blackburn are very strong at home and have kept 10 clean sheets out of 18 but also don't score lots, 8 matches have seen them score just 1 goal. My prediction is 1-0 to Blackburn.

Very best of luck to @littleyellowbirdie, @Hammond1612 and the rest of the PUPs worldwide.

[Feedthewolf 4,846]

Probably a bit late for tomorrow's match, but let's go for Norwich to win and BTTS.

My pick for the six is Man City to win away to Southampton.

For the Rotherham game, let's go for a 3-1/Sargent scorecast.

Best of luck, folks!

[Hammond1612 92]

Right here we go for the Blackburn picks. My strategy is to cover as many options as possible and hopefully get a few of them to stack up. Apologies if your pick hasn’t been chosen. 
 

£1 on pukki anytime, £1 on Sargent anytime, £1 on Sara anytime, £1 on Sam Gallagher anytime, £1 on Ben Bereton anytime, £1 on Sammie Szmodics anytime, 50p on Hanley anytime, 50p on McLean anytime, 50p on Norwich 1-0, 50p on Norwich 2-0, 50p on Norwich 2-1, 50p on Norwich 3-1, £1 on a draw, £1 on a Blackburn win.

Hopefully this will guarantee we get something out of it if Norwich do lose. Just in case you don’t see the message I’ve sent you Eddie I’ve transferred the extra quid for these.

Never apologize for not selecting PUP's choices, the ones you've picked look great. By the way was Hanley to score anytime for any team? 🙂 Good Luck....Hammo & LYB

[NWC 240]

National League North for me, Kings Lynne to beat Kettering. 
 

as for our game, my youngest has just said Hanley is going to score a header! 
 

Good luck to @littleyellowbirdie and @Hammond1612 and the rest of the PUPs gang.

Really sorry I am late, but would have gone for Pukki any time. 

[dj11 377]

For the six, PSV to beat Excelsior. 

And for the Rotherham game Hanley must score a goal. 
 

Best of luck.
