nutty nigel 7,618 Posted April 24 (edited) Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare Our picture shows a presentation from 2010. Some friends we made some we’ve lost but will never be forgotten. Kev’s on there and Tilly’s down with the kids. We have PUPs legend @Leedscanary picking the final six this weekend. Kev was Arrdee’s top young gun in the early days of Rays Funds. And although living so far away Kev didn’t just support us with picks but also provided the trophies in those early presentations as well as driving down from Leeds to attend socials when we had Bayer Club to use. He’s become a great friend to me, my family and so many of us PUPs and those friendships will remain forever. Kev’s won with the final six on five previous occasions so let’s help him to a sixth 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 another PUP legend with @TIL 1010 making the final selections for our game at home to Swansea on Saturday. Tilly’s a great supporter of all things PUPs. We all enjoy his rivalry with Kathy and Tilly always attends our presentations and socials, sometimes even bringing a speech with him… Tilly’s won two PUPs leagues and with just two weeks left is bang in contention for a third. He also has 7 final six wins to his name on Arrdee’s honours board. Let’s help him add more to the pot with some great options for Saturday from those listed on Bet 365 or Bill Hill. I had a nice email from Yankee last week. He’d seen that I’m stepping down from this and sent some nice words. I remember when Arrdee’s honours board was Ray’s signature on each of his opening posts. For what seemed a long time it just said ‘Yankee2’. It took me 15 years to get that 2! 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 Kev and John 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. For more information on our sponsors take a look at their websites below :- http://www.turnereuropeanconsulting.com/ https://www.cavellhealthcare.co.uk/ **Coming soon ‘Kathy’s Famous Euros Sweepstake’.

Leedscanary 346 Posted April 25 (edited) Hi All, Huge thanks to @nutty nigel for the wonderful work done on this thread over the years. I'm gonna miss it. I'm honoured to be able to pick one last time, thanks for the opportunity. Great to see the photo above - so many great people, some sadly missed, many who still post. Oh, and a point of order - it's probably the one and only time @TIL 1010 could be described as "down with the kids"... 🙂 - although I think all of them are probably bigger than he is now! Great to hear Yankee's been in touch too! I'll be back later in the week with a pick for Til and I'll aim to post the final 6 around 9pm ish on Friday Leedscanary Edited April 25 by Leedscanary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My pick this week is a HOME WIN for REAL MADRID women v Levante Las Planas women. I will be back Friday evening with my selections for the Norwich game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 904 Posted April 25 Wishing the very best to Leedscanary TIL 1010, and all PUPs Derby v Carlisle - Home Win City Bet Over 2.5 goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 500 Posted April 25 Man City away please For ncfc 3-1 to us Good Luck pups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,571 Posted April 25 For the Final Six, Derby Home Win for me too. Derby only need a point to be certain of automatic promotion but they should get all 3 against bottom and already relegated Carlisle. Odds are 2/9. For the Norwich match, how about Josh to score in a Home Win with BTTS-9/2 (or 14/1 with Josh to score first). The very best of luck @Leedscanary, @TIL 1010and the rest of the PUPs.

MMMK - INTER MILAN -v- Torino HOME WIN MM - PSG -v- Le Havre HOME WIN For the match bet, HT/FT Draw/Norwich Good Luck everyone, especially @Leedscanary and @TIL 1010 💛💚 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,618 Posted April 25 Kathy's selection first which is... Annan v Falkirk Away Win My pick for Kev is on Saturday where I think... Holsten Kiel v Kaiserslaultern Home Win For Tilly I will suggest... The Lord Mayor to score anytime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,262 Posted April 26 I’m going with Fulham v PALACE - away win. Tasty price and if Eze, Olise and Mateta continue as they have recently I hope they’ll have enough to beat Fulham at 12/5. For the Norwich bet, signing off in style at home with a win and over 3.5 goals in the game! Good luck to Tilly and my good pal Kev. Aaaaah Bisto!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammond1612 92 Posted April 26 This week my pick is a Norwich win. I’ll go for a 3-1 score line. Good luck pups! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,315 Posted April 26 Good luck PUPS. My pick Viktoria Plzen v Teplice - Home Win For City, a very rare Stacey to score. OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,872 Posted April 26 Howdy there! I'm going to try to cynically win the profitability league by picking Juventus and AC Milan to draw at 5-2. (I feel compelled to actually offer something helpful too; Bradford to beat Newport looks nailed-on considering the form guide.) As for the Norwich match, we've been looking quite dangerous from set pieces, so how's about Big Shane Duffy to bundle in the first goal? Good luck everyone!

Leedscanary 346 Posted April 26 Plenty of time left for some more great picks for me to slit into the final 6... I'll post them later on this evening. For my old mate @TIL1010 I'm sticking with a treble of SARGENT / SAINZ / SARA all to score anytime 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 245 Posted April 26 League 1 for me where I expect Derby to seal promotion by beating relegated Carlisle at home. It will be terrible odds btw. As for our game - I'm guessing we're going to be a bit nervy again - BTTS with Sargent to score. Good luck gang - especially the 2 main men @Leedscanary and @TIL 1010 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,330 Posted April 26 Hi PUPs, off to Turkey this week with TRABZONSPOR VS. GAZIANTEP FK (home win). For the City bet, I'll got for a Borja brace. Best of luck everyone! Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregt 67 Posted April 26 Hello again pups My pick is PSG V le harve. HOME WIN City bet Kenny to score anytime Good luck all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,580 Posted April 26 The Turkish 1. Lig. Boluspor to win at home against Altay. Boluspor have a so-so 7-3-5 home record, but are in decent form, having just drawn away against the top club, and are only goal difference away from getting into the promotion play-offs with three games left. Altay, with a 1-1-13 away record, have lost their last seven. The odds are around 1/8. - For the match bet I suggest a double of Sargent and Sara as anytime goalscorers. Good luck to all!

Leedscanary 346 Posted April 26 Thanks everyone for the selections! There's definitely a winning 6 there, I just need to find them. INTER MILAN v Torino PSG v Le Havre PARMA v Lecco REAL MADRID WOMEN v Levante Las Planas Women DERBY v Carlilse Notts Forest v MAN CITY And I've sent Eddie another tenner for a riskier set Fulham v CRYSTAL PALACE MILLWALL v Plymouth BRADFORD v Newport Annan v FALKIRK LARNE v Coleraine MARITIMO v Feirense (my pick for the stats) Fingers crossed!

Cosmic Twin 192 Posted April 26 I'm going for a home win for ES Mostaganem v. Olympique Medea in Algeria Ligue 2 West. Good Luck, Leedscanary! For the match bet - Sainz to score from outside the box. (Or maybe Sara or Nunez!) Good Luck, Til1010! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
