Yes yes Newyork Newyork well done you lovely old boy you have taken us up to £400 [*][*][*] That 3 wins this season and lots more to come , well done all you lovely old Pickers , I think you can tell that arrdee is proud of you all.

On to next week when we are playing for double money and its the lovely Hissing Sid in charge , so watch out for Raise funds for Foncy with the Pink un Pickers. Talk to you all later.[Y]....arrdee.

Arrdee, as a relatively new comer to Pups, I thought I read somewhere that our previous wins were also International weekends. Is that right?

[/quote]

No thats not quite right Gazza we have had 7 wins and 3 were directly responsible to International weeks . Fellas did use a selection from the African nations cup in his line of 7 and all of us that sat through that Sunday evening will never forget it . It seems the whole City turned out in support of Fellas and the Free Bet , every club and pub was full , the word seem to spread like wildfire and I am sure the last person to ask what was happening and what was going on was told " there is some young boy playing for a £ Million" and as those 5 goals went in I hope they were shouting "Fellas" "Fellas" .

Mr Chops on the other hand just produced his winning line from nowhere , he just knew what he wanted to do and presto 6 correct selections winning £138 . He just saw it and was successful as have been the other winners . I am sure that Nutty Nigel can furnish you with the finer points but Gazza thats it in a nutshell....arrdee.

Thanks Arrdee for clarifying that. I was confused by the reference in your previous posting "That 3 wins this season and lots more to come," but I obviously misunderstood the context of that posting. [:$]

Congrats to all this week, even my nap won!

[/quote]

Yep well done Pete, I bet you are as proud as I am , I did use your "Gas" on my line , thanks for that Pete , you lovely old boy.[Y]....arrdee.

[/quote]

Two in two - that''s almost a run. Nice to see the Free Bet triumphed this week, plus the Hucks shirt is up to £80 already for FONCY - a good weekend all round.

And Arrdee top of the Canary Challenge! (See your emails Arrdee). That money goes to the Tactic Zone too. [:D]

[/quote]

Yes thanks for that Kathy , I see all the big players are gathering , Richard Balls , Steve Gedge , Roy Blower , Lappinitup , are us little old boys going to get swallowed up ?....arrdee.

[quote user="leedscanary"][8][8]Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breakin'' like a rocket who makin'' its way
To the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I''ve broken up and busted up since

And love don''t play any games with me
Anymore like she did before
The world won''t wait, so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you, New York

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn''t lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing their tune
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for you and I''d try to hide

And love won''t play any games with you
Anymore if you don''t want it to
The world won''t wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I don''t blame you
Hell, I still love you, New York
Hell, I still love you, New York
New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the upper west side
Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
At least we left before we had to go

And love won''t play any games with you
Anymore if you want ''em to
So we better shake this old thing out the door
I''ll always be thinkin'' of you
I''ll always love you, though, New York[8][8]

Now is that my young gun or Ryan Adams we have on board ? well done Leeds.[*]....arrdee.

Never had you down as a Ryan Adams fan Arrdee! Thought it was the perfect song for our NewYorkCanary.

Oh, and Oldham won today too. [;)]

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Start spreading the news...

Congratulations, NYC!
Nice Ryan Adams lyrics too, I went to see him play at the Birmingham something or other when that album came out and he was great.

I''m seeing him with The Cardinals at Leeds Academy next month - I can''t wait!

Another really successful week on the Free Bet thanks to Newyorkcanary[*] and all our PUP''s[*][&][Y]

49 picks with 42 correct is a "right result"[Y]

Arrdee[*] and Inch High[*] march on with ten from ten while We8[*] is still there with six from six. Trent[*] is right on your heels having only slipped up once and look out together because the nCIsA are closing in with Tilly and Kathy on four from four and they will qualify for the leaderboard in a couple of weeks if they keep picking. While PaulNCFC is not far behind with three from three. In all I now have 73 of you in the full league but there''s room for more because the Free Bet is open to all City Fans that want to take part.

Anyway - here''s the latest standings of those of us with over 50% right from at least 50% weeks.

Picker	Season	Season %
Arrdee	10-10	100
Inch High	10-10	100

For those who are interested in the stats the 49 pickers this week had between them 18 good picks from 23 games. A success rate of  78% which is very high considering the seasons percentage is currently 58%. This is because it was International week and our pickers success rate in these games is currently 82%. 15 International matches were selected - 13 of them being good picks. But League One was also a happy hunting ground with 5/5 this week taking the overall percentage of League One up to 55% and the best strike rate of the domestic top four divisions. League Two was 0-3 proving what a minefield it has been for us this season and is now running at just 39%.

Here is the full table for those of you who like to see where we seem to get most joy. The ones in Bold are the leagues which are more successful than the average : -

League	Season	Season %
Overall	146-250	58
Premiership	17-32	53
Championship	18-39	46
League One	24-44	55
League Two	13-33	39
Conference	12-21	57
Other Non Lge (Inc. Welsh)	3-4	75
English Cups	1-2	50
Scots Premiership	9-11	82
Scots Leagues	6-12	50
Europe	20-24	83
Internationals	23-28	82
