nutty nigel 7,509 Posted May 18, 2009 Here we are with the final PUPs league for the season. Now I''m sorry to report that where I used to be able to paste the league in table format my computer no longer allows me to do that. So I have to paste as unformatted text which is not so clear for you to see. The top line shows Inchy had 35 correct naps out of 40 selections giving him the top percentage of 88. And so on down. These of course only show you PUPs who selected for half the weeks and got at least 50% correct. So congratulations again Inchy. You are the PUPs League Champion for 2008/9 and no doubt it will now change your life. I expect to see you opening supermarkets and fetes all through the next 12 months.[;)]Inch High 35-40 88NCFC_Shaun 33-39 85Fonejacker 17-20 85Trent Canary 27-32 84Leedscanary 32-39 82Arrdee 18-22 82Beaker 25-32 78Shack Attack 27-35 77MacDougall’s perm 23-30 77Mr. Bump 28-37 76Pboro_Canary 27-37 73Mister Chops 26-36 72Sparkos 26-36 72Gentleman Jim 28-40 70Nutty Nigel 28-40 70The Butler 27-39 69City Angel 24-35 69Obiwancanary 24-35 69Fellas 27-40 68Newyorkcanary 27-40 68Hissing Sid 26-38 68Muddy funster 26-38 68Norfolkbroadslim 21-31 68Graham Humphrey 26-39 67GazzaTCC 22-33 67Kathy 14-21 67Delia’s Devon… 23-35 66Hughsey 19-29 66Norfolkchance1 26-40 65Berkshire Canary 22-34 65BringBackIwan 17-26 65Yankee Canary 25-40 63Cosmic Twin 24-38 63Lappinitup 24-40 601st Wazzock 23-39 59Methcanary 20-35 57Sports-Desk Pete 21-40 53Blahblahblah 19-36 53Canary Ryan 12-23 52Lucky Green Trainers 19-38 50 I will add to this thread over the next few days and I''m sure the power of the PUPs can keep it alive ''til we''ve all had a chance to see it.

[;)]Well done Inch High ! And well done all for taking part, speaking as someone who has had the chance to pick from the selections, it really helps to have a lot to work from, so keep it up boys and girls !Thanks to Nutty, and always to Ray for setting it up.

fonejacker 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Congratulations to all who contributed to the free bet this season, a big shout out to Inchy, whose picks often influenced my own personal weekly accumulator. I don''t really feel deserving of my third/joint second place standing as I only just crept in of the half season rule, due to crappy work commitments.And the biggest thanks is reserved for Nutty Nigel and of course Arrdee.

Inch High aka Inchy.. 405 Posted May 19, 2009 Well done to Nutty for his hard work in keeping Arrdee''s baby going and fingers crossed for many a year to come. If I''m not in the top 3( i will be though[;)] ) next season Nutty can I expect a parachute payment? Seriously Nutty a massive thanks for your hard work and to all the evergrowing army of pup''s who make it the pink un''s best thread every week.Finally a massive thanks to Billy Dixon, without him the whole thing would never exist.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hissing Sid 154 Posted May 19, 2009 So its mid table mediocrity here. Hard not to be disappointed when I think of some of my losing picks. (Liverpool v Stoke, home win - denied, Arsenal v Hull, home win - denied, Darlington v Droylsden, home win - denied, Top of the league Wolfsburg to beat bottom of the league Cottbus in Germany - you guessed it!!!). I recently reviewed the carnage that was my week in charge back in October. 6 bankers, or so I thought. Not easy, this predicting lark!!!! All that said though, I''d love another go if the opportunity arises next season.However it has been an absolute pleasure to join in with this every week, a bright spot in what has been a dismal football season. So to Nutty, huge thanks for all the work you''ve done keeping it going. To Inch High - congratulations, (I''m just going to steal your picks next season). And of course hats off to Billy Dixon for making it all possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[:D]Anyways well done everyone! A top season, lots of high percentages and winning weeks. Managed to pick the only losing nap in greece. But I did a cup double despite mid-table league mediocrity!Thanks again Nutty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 185 Posted May 19, 2009 Congratulations, Inch High!A big ''Thanks!'' to Nutty Nigel and all his hard work on the Free Bet.
