nutty nigel 7,539 Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare It was great to get back to winning ways last weekend and you PUPs were on top form searching out some great picks to help make it happen. This weekend we have a great chance of following up with top PUP @Kathy making the final selections. It was only a couple of weeks ago I was introducing Kathy for the Norwich picks when she stepped in at short notice and added a tenner to the pot. But the introduction is so good that it’s worth repeating. Kathy is the only PUP to have won the double of PUPs league and profitability league, in fact it was a treble because of lockdown we also had a pools league which she won too. Kathy’s also won the final six on 5 previous occasions so let’s find her our very best selection 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 final selections for our match at home to Daniel Farke’s Leeds. Trish also has a brilliant PUPs cv with 3 final six wins and previous wins when making the Norwich picks. It’s difficult to know which Norwich team will turn up right now but I’m sure with your help Trish will be able to add to the pot. Here’s the rota for November. As usual just let me know if your date is ok with your picks… Final Six 04 Nov – @Mr Apples 11 Nov – @splutcho 18 Nov – @PurpleCanary 25 Nov – @Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man Norwich Picks 04 Nov – @littleyellowbirdie 11 Nov – @NWC 18 Nov – Internationals 25 Nov – @Mr Angry We put Ray’s honours board up every week but I took the time to read it again when updating @Hammond1612 to three wins and it was great to remember all the PUPs past and present and the fun we’ve had over the years. Good luck all you PUPs 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. Take it away Kathy and Trish, the thread is yours... ... On behalf of us all a massive thank-you to our wonderful sponsors Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare also our benefactor PUPanon2.

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted October 19, 2023 Hi folks! A bit of a risky one for me this week, but if @Kathy fancies pushing the boat out a bit, it's often a good strategy to have one more risky pick alongside five 'home bankers'. Swansea have won four games on the bounce, but the international break came at the wrong time for them. This week they're at home to Leicester, who are obviously streaking ahead at the top of the table and have possibly the strongest squad the Championship has ever seen. As such, I fancy Leicester to get a result in Wales on Saturday, but given Swansea's excellent recent form Leicester are in the region of 3/4 to win. As for the Norwich match, I think Farke's passing principles might play into the hands of our high press, much as we had a lot of joy against Russell Martin's similarly styled Southampton side. As such, I like the look of Sara first goal and Norwich to win at 16/1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 733 Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the glowing intro Nutty. It's hard to believe that's the same person who has performed so miserably on here over the last few weeks (as I have been reminded many times). You've handed over the picks to the 'Liz Truss' of the message board! Still, we live in hope as I will be relying on all you other clever PUPs for te selections and won't touch mine with a barge pole. I'll be back here tomorrow evening with my final six and another six for the pot. Keep'em coming! Edited October 19, 2023 by Kathy 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,320 Posted October 19, 2023 Hi PUPs, off to Turkey this week with FATIH KARAGÜMRÜK VS. ADANA DEMIRSPOR (away win). Adana have Nani and Balotelli up front while Fatih have got the popular Italian choice Kevin Lasagna! 🤣 For the City bet I'll go for Duffy to score anytime. Nutty, I'm ok for that date but will have to make my picks earlyish on Friday evening as I'm off on my annual search for Highlands Canary early on Saturday. Best of luck everyone!

Mr Angry 1,563 Posted October 19, 2023 For the Final Six I am going for a Home Win for Nacional against SC Mirandela in the Portugal Cup. For the Norwich match, Home Win and Both Teams To Score is 4/1. Good luck to @Kathy , @Diesel Doris and the rest of the PUPs. Sorry @nutty nigel, I will find it difficult to pick for that weekend as I'm going to be travelling quite a bit-can you sub someone else in for me please? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splutcho 173 Posted October 20, 2023 Leicester to win away at Swansea for me. Swansea are in good form but Leicester are 5 out of 5 in away games so far and no amount of form stops them being the best side in this league. 3-1 Leeds is 16/1, sorry for not being more positive. Also @nutty nigel 11th of November works for me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMF 747 Posted October 20, 2023 For @Kathy Newcastle United v Crystal Palace - home win. And for @Diesel Doris Duffy to score at any time. Good luck all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj11 377 Posted October 20, 2023 Norway for me and Bodo/Glimt to beat Sandefjord. Top vs 2nd bottom. For the Norwich game Idah to score with a header @ 17/2. Very best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 240 Posted October 20, 2023 I expect a lot of lower league games to be called off due to the rain, so am hoping this is on: PontypriddTown Vs Connah's Quay Nomads - AWAY win Pontypridd losing form = 4/5 and can't score (lowest league scorers), Nomads (form is 3 wins 2 draws) can score lots - second highest scorers in the league. Can they breach a stubborn Ponty defence?? Yes they can, put your house on it! As for our game, i'm a bit worried to be honest - BTTS with Kenny to score anytime Good luck @Kathy and @Diesel Doris and the rest of you PUPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,821 Posted October 20, 2023 Mainz haven't won this season and Bayern Munich haven't lost. Away win at 2/7. I'm feeling pessimistic about our chances tomorrow, so I'll go for my usual selection when I don't fancy us of McLean to be booked at 9/2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) The Nord-Ost Nord section of the German Oberliga. Lichtenberg to win at home against Rostocker FC. Lichtenberg have a 4-0-0 and 14/1 home record, and have won their last seven. Rostocker FC have a 1-0-3 and 4/14 away record and have lost their last five, conceding 19 without scoring a goal. The odds are 1/7. - For the match bet I suggest a double of BTTS and Sainz to score the last goal. Good luck to all!

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,220 Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) In bocca al lupo 🦮 to the excellent @Kathy ed ai tutti i voi belli PUPetti 🦮🤗💪🏽 Think strong women deserve strong women this week, so to Spain for the awesome: Barcelona vs Granada - Home win 🏆 As for @Diesel Doris’s Norwich bet I am afraid I have very low expectations so: Norwich to lose, more than 3.5 goals, more than 3 yellow cards, more than 6 corners.

Kathy 733 Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Right. Here it is. Thank you PUPs for all your selections. I'm falling back on a previously successful strategy by choosing the selections of those hovering around the top of the PUPs league. This unfortunately means of course that I will have to want @Til1010's selection to be successful. As a result I have already started to come out in a rash. The PUPs come first however, so here we are. I've avoided anything north of the border as I expect Storm Babet will have a say in the fixtures list. I've sent you an extra tenner Nutty for six laydeez (I believe that's how you spell it) matches. Mainz 05 v Bayern Munich (h) Feed The Wolf Newcastle v Palace (h) GMF PSV v Fortuna Sittard (h) Til1010 Wacky Bodo Glimt v Sandefjord (h) DJ11 Lichtenburg v Rostocker FC (h) Purple Barcelona v Granada (h) Parma Melbourne v Canberra (h) Hammarby v Linkopings (h) Anderlecht v Genk (h) Madrid v Tenerife (h) Pardubice v Viktoria Pizen (a) Chelsea v Brighton (h) For my own selection. Mansfield to beat Forest Green Rovers. For City's game, >4.5 goals/ Patrick Bamford to score (because I hate him and it would just be typical.) Best of luck Trish! Good luck all and 🤞.
