arrdee 1 Posted December 24, 2008 Yes you lovely old Pickers its time to make your selections for the final time this year and its the wonderful Sports Desk Pete in charge, so lets help him all we can by getting those "naps" in early. I will just remind you that it is for the fixtures on the 27th /28th the Saturday and Sunday and of course any matches that spill over to the Monday, in other words the same as we do every week, Pete will make his final selections on the Friday and I will put the bet on with Dixmar Racing on Saturday morning as per usual, all we have to do is ignore Fridays matches.Lets all hope we get as much excitement and enjoyment from the second half of the season as we did the first. Of course this is what the Free Bet is all about, its something just for us lovely City fans, no one else, just the one and only Norwich City fans. If I could point my finger at one thing and say "this has improved the Free Bet" it would be Nuttys leagues, even after the final whistle there is still interest in seeing how everyone is doing in the league because its wide open still anyone can win the "Leeds Canary" top tipsters cup and which 5 will have the chance to go on and win big money for the Academy next season. However thats all in the future.I will just say thanks to all you lovely old Pickers for your kind wishes for me and of course my very good friend Nutty for sitting in for me and I will be back to talk to you all later today. I will now hand over the Free Bet, Its with you now Pete, good luck....[Y]..arrdee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted December 24, 2008 The ones that immediately stood out for me are Leicester, Rhyl and Man U.But my ''nap'' is going to have to be -Manchester United vs Middlesbrough - Home win. Middlesbrough are in woeful form but tend to do well against the ''big clubs''. But I sense Man U have got some momentum at the moment and won''t let this one slip.It''s a Monday game so a bit of a wait.Good luck Pete. Maybe the festive gods will smile on us.[:)][Y]Merry Christmas PUPs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted December 24, 2008 It''s great to have Arrdee back opening the thread once more. It fels like the Free Bet again now. [Y]I''m going to Wales for my pick this week. Rhyl slipped up at home a couple of weeks ago but they still scoired 3 goals while going down 3-4. They have scored 30 goals in ten home games and only scored less than two on one occasion. This weekend they are at home to Prestatyn who have not won away all season and only managed six goals in their eight away games and have never scored more than one goal in any of them.Rhyl V Prestatyn Home WinGood luck Sports Desk Pete[Y] And Merry Christmas to all you PUPs [&][;)][<:o)][B][B][8][*][pi][D][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fonejacker 0 Posted December 24, 2008 I normally like to pick a different nap to one of those previously mentioned, but as I only have two minutes to look at the fixture list before heading north for Christmas, I''m going to add weight to this fixture....Leicester vs Hereford - home win.Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year everyone, hopefully Santa will bring three points at Palace and Leroy Lita''s permanent signing.

Buncey 1 Posted December 24, 2008 Good to see you on the mend Ray, my nap this weekend is Reading to beat Southampton, away win. Southampton are without a win in 6, losing the last 3 inclduing a disastrous home defeat to Forest. Reading have 3 on the bounce, including last weeks big away win against Brum 3-1. Reading are hitting form at the right time and Soton are losing form at the wrong time, I can''t see anything but an away win! Merry Christmas everyone.
