nutty nigel 7,776 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) 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 15th April - Inchy - Confirmed 22nd April – @Parma Ham's gone mouldy 29th April - NWC - Confirmed 06th May - Feedthewolf - Confirmed Norwich Picks 15th April - Mr Apples - Confirmed 22nd April – @Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 29th April - Til 1010 - Confirmed 06th May - Purple - Confirmed Confirmed 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:- http://www.turnereuropeanconsulting.com/ https://www.cavellhealthcare.co.uk/ 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... Edited April 12, 2023 by nutty nigel 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,634 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) 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! Edited April 5, 2023 by KiwiScot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,435 Posted April 5, 2023 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. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammond1612 95 Posted April 5, 2023 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,935 Posted April 5, 2023 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,776 Posted April 5, 2023 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 2,356 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited April 5, 2023 by Parma Ham's gone mouldy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 130 Posted April 5, 2023 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,142 Posted April 6, 2023 Osasuna v Elche Sara to score from outside the box Good luck everyone OTBC 💛💚💛💚 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 6,084 Posted April 6, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMF 877 Posted April 6, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,371 Posted April 6, 2023 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leedscanary 381 Posted April 6, 2023 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,412 Posted April 6, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,034 Posted April 6, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inch High aka Inchy.. 417 Posted April 6, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,748 Posted April 6, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,457 Posted April 6, 2023 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammond1612 95 Posted April 6, 2023 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
