Raise funds for the Academy with the Pink Un Pickers

Recommended Posts

Hello all, a fantastic new year in Sydney was had. Blooming tired now though..

Anyway this week its taken a while to narrow it down with so many heavy favourites. Theres a couple FA cup games, a game in Wales, and a European game that have all tempted me, but just to mix it up a bit im returning to the highland league for Keith over Brora.

Keith - 2nd in the league. 31 points from 15 games.

Brora - 2nd Bottom - 2 points from 11 games. -20 Goal Difference away from home through 6 games.

Just to illustrate the sheer gulf in class in this division, I recently napped the team a point above Keith to beat the team a point below Brora, and the home team won 10-0! Also brora have just beaten the league leaders 4-2 away so are bound to be full of confidence.

Good luck Mr. Bump.

I''m staying away from the FA Cup, tooooo risky!

Conference it is then. Stevenage, pushing for the play-offs should have too much for lowly Lewes so.....

Stevenage v Lewes......Home win.

Good luck Mr Bump and let''s hope it''s a better new year for everyone. [Y]

Sid returns after last weeks absence. I trust everyone had a decent and relaxing Christmas (unless you were at City''s festive fixtures!!!) and I''d like to wish all PUPs a Happy New Year, with a special mention and thanks to Arrdee and Nutty.

I can''t believe its FA Cup 3rd round time again already. Got my fingers badly burned in the 1st and 2nd round of the Cup earlier this season, but I can''t see beyond

Arsenal v Plymouth - Home Win

Mr Bump, good luck, go get ''em!!!

I did of course mean Keith have just beaten the league leaders...

Funny story for you all. Sat in a bar in Sydney eating a $2 steak, with a few beers, catching up with a mate of mine who supports Ipswich. Man United v Middlesborough is on in the background. The match finishes and the next programme begins. The programme was entitled ''Premier league archive''. And having dipped into their archive what match did they come up with? Thats right, you guessed it; Swindon v Norwich - 3-3 - 93/94 season. Absolute classic. Some of the worst football ive ever seen, but a cracking game nonetheless.

In the fervent hope that my "Scottish-Match-Postponed" syndrome doesn''t hit me yet again I am going for :-

Scottish Div 1: Saturday 3 o''clock : 3rd.Jan  :  MORTON v Queen of South as a banker HOME WIN !

Morton are such an unbeatable force at home whilst Queen of South have earned on one measly point in nine weeks !

I have my reserve ready if this one doesn''t happen Ray, ha ha !

Good luck Mr.Bump on your picks, and I wish good health to Ray and all us other PUPs in 2009.

I remember it well Trent, you could probably see us all down the front, my kids were young then and loved sitting/standing behind the goal. I miss going to Swindon, they have roundabouts down to a fine art!! How unbelievable is it that that match was once in the Prem!

Anyway my selection is: Aston Villa to beat Gillingham in the cup.

Thanks to a very weird decision by the referee my nap Colchester v Tranmere is off (frozen pitch allegedly but no one else thinks so).  That must have cheered up the Tranmere supporters five and a bit hours into their journey........

So if it is allowed I will transfer my nap to Sunday and go with

Inverness CT v Rangers - AWAY win.
