nutty nigel 7,539 Posted January 3 (edited) Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare It’s FA Cup 3rd round weekend and we have the perfect PUP for this challenge with @Pockthorpe picking the final six. Pockthorpe, who is a great supporter of all we do on these threads, won his final six last season so let’s help him to a repeat with our very best selections from the games played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this weekend that are listed on the Bet 365 web site. We have @PurpleCanary picking the final selections for our FA Cup tie at home to Bristol Rovers on Saturday. Purple is having a great season currently in second place in our PUPs league. He’s won with the final six five times and won before when making the match picks. So let’s help him to another win with some great options from those listed on Bet 365 or Bill Hill web sites. January’s PUP of the month starts this weekend, so 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 Gary and Purple, 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.

TheBaldOne66 690 Posted January 3 Greetings all from Oman! For me this week it’s Turkey as I never had any over Christmas and Trabzonspor to beat Ankaragucu. For our game I’m going for Hwang to score anytime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj11 377 Posted January 3 Tamworth to beat Buxton. Norwich to win both halves, over 7 corners and over 2 goals for Norwich. The very best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 902 Posted January 3 Good luck Pockthorpe and Purple. Salernitana v Juventus - Away Win City bet Over 2.5 goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,539 Posted January 3 For @Pockthorpe Sunday in Turkey where I think... Galatasaray v Konyaspor Home Win For @PurpleCanary I think Wagner will get some more minutes into Sarge so... Josh Sargent to score with a header is 10/1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 733 Posted January 3 Evening all. Chelsea to beat Preston for me please. For City's game Hwang to score at any time. Good luck Pockthorpe and Purple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,563 Posted January 3 For the Final Six, an Away Win for Juventus at Salernitana looks good value at 9/20. Salernitana are bottom, with a 2-6-10 record while Juventus are second, 13-4-1. For the Norwich match, Home Win and Both Teams To Score-No. The very best of luck to @Pockthorpe and @PurpleCanary(or is it @PurpleCanary) and of course the rest of the PUPs.

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted January 4 Keep the suggestions coming. I will make my choices lateish tomorrow evening so PUPs can factor in all the new players we will be signing in time for the game...🤩 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMF 747 Posted January 4 For @Pockthorpe, the FA Cup can be a pickers nightmare, with managers constantly inclined to go with squad rotations, however, I still fancy Southampton to be too strong for Walsall. For @PurpleCanary there’s probably some value for players who’ve not played many minutes recently, so the likes of Hernandez, Placheta or Gibbs to score at any time. Onel is well overdue a goal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,320 Posted January 4 Hi PUPs, off to Malta this week with SLIEMA WANDERERS VS. GUDJA UNITED (home win). For the City bet I like GMF's shout of fringe players getting a run so I'll go for a double of Gibbs and Placheta to score anytime. All the best everyone!

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted January 4 Arouca v BENFICA – away win, odds around 4/9. For the Norwich match, I fancy Idah to score the first goal (I'm guessing he'll start). Good luck, everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,220 Posted January 5 In bocca al lupo 🦮 Pockthorpe ed anche ai tutti i voi belli Pupetti 💃🕺🥰🦮🏖️ I’m dreaming of a trip to sunny Spain, so I think that it might be nice to see: Barca vs Levantes Las Planas - Home win 🏡 🏆 As for cugino @PurpleCanary, I do like @nutty nigel ‘s Sarge with a header at 10s, though it’s a bit specific so a quadcast. I think we should expect a pretty strong team… BTTS, Norwich to win, more than 2.5 goals, more than 7 corners. Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
