arrdee 1 Posted January 7, 2009 Yes you lovely old Pickers its time to get your "naps" in for the Free Bet this weekend and its another of our young lions that has joined us this season Ncfc Shaun, who happens to be moving up Nuttys league at a fair old pace who is in charge.I am sure you are all aware that we are in the grip of winters chill with the likelihood of the cold strengthening bringing with it more postponed matches. I feel it is our duty as Pickers when giving Shaun our "nap" we also give him our assurance that our selection has the chance of being played, this requires diligence and common sense on our part, we must keep our weather eye open all the time, in the same manner that the lovely old Lappinitup did last week , he followed his selection up with all the information he could, leaving no stone unturned and was rewarded with the only fixture played in the Blue square league and a winner to boot, so well done Lapp.Remember there is nothing worse than having a postponed match amongst the 6 as it brings the payout down by so much and if we have 2 or 3 its a wasted week altogether but I am sure we can overcome all of this with our wonderful team of Pickers. There is also for your consideration an almost full league programme from the sunny pastures of Europe.So all that remains is for me to hand over the Free Bet, there you are Shaun its with you now. Good luck....[Y]..arrdee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFC_Shaun 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks Arrdee and Inch High [Y] I''ve been looking forward to my go at this and I shall do my best, but I can only do that with everybodys help so keep those excellent picks coming. Everybody''s selection shall be considered in the final choices (is it 6 or 5 I have to pick by the way).And also do I get a nap this week? If so I''ll place my nap at the same time as I reveal the bet for this weekend on friday. I work friday night so my choices should be on at about 9pm Friday. Is that ok? Thanks one again.

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted January 7, 2009 Hopefully this one will avoid the freeze this weekend...Scunthorpe V Hereford - Home winScunny in playoffs and although they have wobbled a bit of late Hereford travel worse than City with an away record of played 12, lost 10, drawn 1, won 1 during which they have managed a dire 5 goals for and conceded 25. If it avoids the weather this looks a solid banker.Good luck Shaun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted January 7, 2009 The cogs have been working overtime this week, its been really tough and I am just picking one! I have been tempted by a few including Barcelona but Osasuna may be bottom, but their recent form especially their home form is not too bad.I have decided to go with -Inter Milan vs Cagliari - Inter to win. Milan at top and at home, Cagliari not too badly placed in the league, but struggle to pick up any points away from home.So Inter is my nap this week, good luck Shaun.[:)][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
