nutty nigel 7,351 Posted March 4, 2009 Greetings PUPs[Y] Here I am again opening up week 31 of the free bet season. This week it’s our good friend and firm favourite Gentleman Jim in charge and making the final selections. Jim is a real hero on our free bet threads, he always manages to get his selections in even from the Canary Islands and has been one of the most consistent pickers since we started out two years ago. In fact Gentleman Jim often goes on amazing winning runs and has always been in top positions in our league. I for one am so glad Jim is selecting this weekend, as I know was Ray.I’m sorry I didn’t get round to putting up the stats last week but it just wasn’t possible for me to do it. Inchy and Trent both had winning selections so there was no change at the top. Lapp and Shack shared PUP of the month, the only two pickers with a 100% record in February.So good luck Jim - as Ray would have said - we all hope you enjoy your week in charge. I can’t think of anyone who would be more deserving of a place on the line of fame.I leave you as always with Ray’s signature …….Carve their names with pride.Yankee,2,Fellas,2,P''boro,Mr Chops,NewYork, yes Norfolkchance1 £400 for the Academy,so far.Take it away Jim, the free bet is yours....

Gentleman Jim 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Cheers Nutty, The ever thoughtful Ray allocated me this date just before he died, it has a significance that we both had feelings for and I am sure if he is watching down on us he will be insisting on our success. Additionally my picks could coincide with my two thousandth post so the omens are good, come on PUPs give us your best ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted March 5, 2009 Lower leagues for me this week (Crickey how much longer will we be able to say that?) in to League 2 after finally catching the third from bottom club in mid week I can''t see Bournemouth letting the opportunity slip. In real terms this would be a home banker but because of the deduction of points it looks dodgy.Bournemouth v Port Vale Home Win Good luck with your selections Jim at what is traditionally a difficult time of the season.

norfolkchance1 0 Posted March 5, 2009 It looks like Leicester to beat Cheltenham for me, although I''m a little worried about Martin Allen coming back to haunt Leicester- but they put their team up for sale and are in a rubbish league position so must be a good chance.Good luck Jim and to all pickers make this the week!

Berkshire Canary 12 Posted March 5, 2009 This week I am going to carry on picking on Blue Square basement side Lewes who travel to Mansfield. Lewes are now 12 games without a win having lost 3-0 last weekend to Histon and I get the feeling it is soon to become unlucky 13. Mansfield have a decent home record of W9 D3 L4 whilst Lewes''s away form reads W1 D4 L11, it is also worth noting that they have only scored 10 goals on the road this season. Mansfield v Lewes - HOME WIN Good luck Jim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted March 5, 2009 I believe that Pete is still on his travels so his instructions before he left were to nap any team playing Plymouth. So Sports Desk Pete''s selection this week is :-Plymouth V Reading Away Win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted March 5, 2009 Into the murky waters that is League Two this week. Shrewsbury, just outside the play-offs, at home to Notts County in mid-table. Shrewsbury, who have the best home record in the division 13 2 3 36 12 against County who have only three away wins this season 3 7 7 20 30 makes this look fairly safe to me. So......Shrewsbury v Notts County........Home win. Good luck Jim. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
