arrdee 2 Posted December 31, 2008 Yes you lovely Pickers its Free Bet time again and its the start of the brand new year 2009. Lets hope that the coming year brings us Norwich City supporters as much enjoyment and entertainment as last years did and fill the coffers of our wonderful Academy.The first weekend in Jan is always special because of the magic of the F A Cup. The coming together of the big clubs with the minnows of the football world, all with their hopes and dream''s. The Free Bet''s Picker in charge this week is the wonderful Mr Bump, another of our young guns that has joined us this season and has taken to the Free Bet with ease. So lets get those "naps" in and help Mr Bump all we can . I am now handing it over to you Mr Bump the Free Bet is with you , good luck.I would like to thank each and everyone of you lovely Pickers for making the Free Bet the success it has become and I would also like to wish you a very happy and prosperous new year but above all this I wish you love, health and laughter because without these important ingredients we have nothing. Thanks to you all....Ray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFC_Shaun 0 Posted December 31, 2008 I''m not sure if other leagues are playing this weekend so I found the F.A cup tie which involved 2 teams as far away in the English football leagues as possible. I can''t see such a big upset happening. Especially with the premiership team at home. So for me it''s Middlesbrough this week. who play conference north team Barrow AFC.Middlesbrough V Barrow AFC - Home Win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 225 Posted December 31, 2008 I was tempted to go for Blackburn and although I think they will win, there is just something about Blyth, their ground, Blackburn away on a Monday night, there is a chance, however slim that Blyth could pull off a major upset. There was definitely something in the air the night Blyth beat Bournemouth.For me my nap has to be -Middlesbrough vs Barrow, Boro to win.Good luck and happy new year[:)][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
