arrdee 2 Posted November 22, 2008 [quote user="Shack Attack"]Evening PUPs and thanks for all of your naps. After careful-ish consideration these are my final selections.Chelsea v Newcastle - HOME WIN (Blah, Chops, Butler, Graham H, Pete, Ryan, Tilly, Mac)Barca v Getafe - HOME WIN (Me, NYC, norfolkchance1, Mr Bump, Fellas, Berkshire, Gazza, Scooby)SV Red Bull Salzburg v SV Kapfenburg - HOME WIN (arrdee, norfolkbroadslim, Nutty)Burnley v Doncaster - HOME WIN (BringBackIwan, astrodyne, MF, Sid, Cosmic Twin)Reading v Southampton - HOME WIN (Yankee, CA, Cam, Sparkos)Liverpool v Fulham - HOME WIN (Hughesey, Beaker, obiwancanary)There are a couple of away wins that I''m very tempted by, United to beat Villa (EM) and Nice to beat St. Etienne (Jim), but I think I''ll stick with these six.Good luck everyone. Six wins there and another away at Forest tomorrow night and I''ll be a happy boy [:D][/quote] Yes you lovely old Pickers the bet is on thanks to Shack Attack and of course Dixmar Racing, the bet is....2-9 Chelsea1-5 Barcelona1-6 Salzburg8-13 Burnley2-5 Reading2-7 LiverpoolWhich will win £39-75p for the Academy which is wonderful, so well done all you lovely old Pickers and a big thanks to Shack, I hope you have enjoyed your week in charge of the Free Bet Andy?

Pete Raven 276 Posted November 22, 2008 [quote user="arrdee"][quote user="Sports Desk - Pete"]With a place on the table at stake do I play it safe and plump for Liverpool or Chelsea to win, or take a gamble and go with my heart and predict Rovers to thump Swindon.

Trent Canary 0 Posted November 22, 2008 [quote user="Trent Canary"]Choice of three this week for me. Barca have been heavily picked, and Bayern have been selected too, so I shall go with a bit of a far out choice this week.Deveronvale to beat Fort William FC in the Scottish Highland league. Deveronvale are 4th with a game in hand, +16 goal difference in 9 games.Fort William are bottom, 4 defeats from 4 away from home, and a -22 goal difference in 9 games.Ladbrokes have a price on the game but cant see much else, there very heavy favourites but sounds like a guaranteed win! (Assuming it isnt cancelled due to the weather)Best of luck Shack, and best of luck for the next few weeks. Off on my travels and will be in Thailand for the next few weeks, and then Singapore and Malaysia. So not sure whether ill have the time to post on here! Im in Australia for Xmas though so will definitely be able to post then.[/quote]I think I may have taken the prize for biggest result ever with a 10-0 win! Unlucky this week Shack, very strange set of results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted November 22, 2008 I don''t believe it 4-1 now to Kapfenberg!!Perhaps, Salzburg went into the game too complacent, and are getting punished. I think, iirc, Kapfenberg had only scored 6 goals away all season prior to this!Very strange week for results indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted November 22, 2008 Arsenal and Man Utd fair enough given their opposition but Fulham and Newcastle returning with clean sheets also? Madness! Think I''ll avoid the big four come my week (as well as Rovers arrdee don''t worry, although a lovely injury time equaliser today followed by a celebration resulting in a sending off - now that''s entertainment) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted November 23, 2008 What a strange week, you would have thought that one of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal or Aston Villa would have scored, a truly harsh week shack -I thought I was unlucky a couple of weeks ago but this is bizarre. Also Ray, I''m sad to see your record go- you''ve outclassed the rest of us this season along with Inchy it will still take everyone a long while to catch you on nutty''s leaderboard.
