nutty nigel 7,535 Posted August 29, 2008 [quote user="leedscanary"]Although, it is with sadness, that it has been revealed Nutty Nigel is not called Nigel! So its a good job he''s got a comedy real name to compensate!!! (Sorry Nigel - couldn''t resist! - bet you hate the Winter Olympics[;)]) [/quote]It''s Ok Leeds. The Winter Olympics have been kind to me [Y] Since the fame of my namesake I have had football teams, cricket teams dart teams and snooker teams called ''Eddies Eagles'' There was even once a ladies team called ''Eddies Eaglets''[:O]Nutty Nigel was a comedy name given to a previous Norwich manager who I felt got a lot of uncalled for personal abuse on here.

[/quote] Well Nutty, seems as though we have an olympic size record number of pickers this week. How you cope with recording and monitoring all of them deserves a Gold medal, if not that, at least Arrdee should award you an extra pound of sausages as overtime payment..

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted August 29, 2008 [quote user="Gorleston Jim"]seems as though we have an olympic size record number of pickers this week. [/quote]Yep, but lets not ease up as we approach the finish line - keep the tips coming.Interestingly we already have 5 naps selected by at least 3 pickers to give me something to think about, plus 2 other games where pickers have plumped for different results in the same game (City are tipped to win, lose or draw depending on who you believe!).I will be posting the final selection list about 9PM this evening so make sure you get any last thoughts in before that.

arrdee 2 Posted August 29, 2008 [quote user="1st Wazzock"]Carlisle to beat Yeovil is my guess.[/quote] Hello, hello , Lapp, it seems to me your old mate the lovely old Wass has washed his hands of you . He seems to have distanced himself from you , just a few words making his selection , uumm!! I think he has looked at your position in Nuttys league and said "S.. him , he is going to bring me down to his level" but there you are you wanted to cozy up together against the lovely arrdee and I heard you whispering how you were going to take arrdee apart and take over the Free Bet and call it your very own . It seems to me Lapp you are out on your own . Good Luck .Lets hope you get a "nap" right this season , I know its asking a bit much as there are only about 40 weeks left , but I am sure I can get a win out of you somehow , have you ever thought about a blindfold and a pin ? You lovely old boy ....[:D]....arrdee.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted August 29, 2008 OK, time to make the selections:1. Partick v Ross Cnty (Home win) - my own choice backed up by Fellas, Scooby and 7rew2. Chelsea v Spurs (Home win) - Chelsea are really tight at the back, Spurs unsettled, payback for Carling Cup all combine to have me in agreement with Mr C, DWBDDB, and Canary Ryan3. Barrow v Stevenage (Home win) - picked twice from across the pond and has a nailed on look to it4. Leeds v Bristol R (Home win) - thought long and hard over this one, but I reckon Leeds ought to have the beating of them and it also got selected by 3 pickers5. MK Dons v Swindon (Home win) - how could such a group of star pickers as Beaker, Cos Twin, Lapp and Meth Canary all be wrong? The Dons look good bets to be in the mix come the end of the season and Swindon don''t travel win historically6. Ebbsfleet v Oxford (Home win) - a quick scout on the reports for Oxford so far this season suggest they have been dismal and I don''t see them turning it around away from home this weekend.Lets hope they come good and I can stick it to the wonderful Mr Dixon again..........

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted August 29, 2008 By the way, I was so nearly taken by all the tips for Leicester to win at Cheltenham but ultimately away form can be fickle at this stage in the season and Leicester were hardly the greatest away from the Crisp Bowl last season. I have an awful feeling though that I may have egg on my face come 5pm Saturday [:$]Thanks for all the tips though guys, it''s a tough call to make and some people have to miss out.Now lets all get crossing everything we have for a few winners.

NCFC_Shaun 0 Posted August 30, 2008 I have a question...Im guessing we dont win anything for the academy unless every selection is correct. Right? And therefore.. what I wanted to know is - say this week all bar one result was wrong, that one result was my selection of Leeds winning against Bristol - would I still get the points on the pickers board thing. Or do they only count if the whole thing wins? hopefully that makes sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,535 Posted August 30, 2008 Your result is noted Shaun, regardless of the outcome of the final selections. You are 50% 1 from 2 at the moment and I''m sure you will be up there challengeing at the end of the season [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arrdee 2 Posted August 30, 2008 Yes now you lovely old Pickers the bet is on , thanks to P''boro a wonderful job and well done sir and of course Dixmar the bet is......4-5 Partick------------P''boro,Fellas,7rew,Scooby2-5 Chelsea-----------Mr Chops,Devon,C Ryan6-4 Barrow------------Newyork,Yankee8-13 Leeds-------------Graham H,Shaun,B Bunter1-1 M K Dons---------Beaker,Cosmic,Lapp,MethC11-10 Ebbsfleet----------Berks,L HornWhich will win for the Academy £417-43p I must just tell you this I put the same bet through a big Bookmakers just to see what they would pay , guess what ? £305 was the best they came up with , now I find this staggering that a small Bookmakers like Dixmar can wipe the floor with the big houses . I wonder how you would feel if you were successful with this bet only to find that Dixmars would have paid over £112 more. Billy Dixon informed me that "bonus" weeks would be 4 in number this season for us lovely old Pink Un Pickers with City 2 matches at home and 2 away , I am sure most of you understand what I am saying , If you don''t don''t be afraid to ask . So once again Its thanks to P''boro on a splendid job , you only have to look at the bottom of this message to know that the brave P''boro wont be found wanting .Good luck all . Talk to you lovely old Pickers later....arrdee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
