nutty nigel 7,606 Posted October 29, 2009 I''m going to Austria this week where Sturm Graz are at home to bottom team Karnten. I''m slightly worried that Sturm Graz don''t score many goals but they are in good form and Karnten seem to lose every away game by four! Their away record is appalling having played six, lost six, scored six and conceded 24. Sturm Graz are 2 points off top and they should have enough to win this despite their lack of goals. Sturm Graz v Austria Karnten Home Win I popped in to see Billy this afternoon and settled up after backing another donkey last Saturday[:''(] I tried to give him a little fright, just for Halloween, and told him how many of us are still on 100% and that I was going to do a line of football instead of a horse this week[:^)] He was totally cool and unimpressed though[H] He did say he''d be up for a Friday night at the club in Novemeber so if any of you PUPs are interested we could maybe work something out[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMF 756 Posted October 30, 2009 Seems a tough week this week from my quick scan down the fixtures, with no real stand out "easy wins."I''ll go for Man Utd vs Balckburn - Home win.Good luck Yellow Fever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 0 Posted October 30, 2009 Apologies but I''m going for an easy pick this week:PSV Vs Vitesse - Home Win.Good luck yellow fever!If you do fancy soemthing with a bit of a risk I would reccomend Athletic Bilbao Vs Atletico Madrid - Home win. Atletico have been awful this season and while bilbao haven''t scored many goals I fancy them overall. Maybe I''m just biased though as Bilbao are a club I have alot of time for and they go about things properly.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sound like a good bet to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dion Dublin=Legend 0 Posted October 30, 2009 Middlesborough vs Plymouth looks a banker: Plymouth are in freefall, Middlesborough really aren''t a bad team with the likes of Lita, Johnson, Emnes et al, plus they have new manager syndrome on their side.

Yellow Peril 4 Posted October 30, 2009 Right, I’ve spent a lot of time on this today, so it’s now or never.Firstly, I’d like to thank you all for your help & suggestions [Y] After long & careful thought I’ve come up with 6 Final selections. Paramount in my mind was that although I had a strategy of picking a couple of wild cards, at the end of the day I was gambling with Academy money so that ruled out any silly high odds bets just for the sake of it.Therefore, my final picks had to have a real chance of coming good. I have studied all the naps given to me, put them on a spreadsheet, compared all the odds & looked at all the form & league tables available. I’ve been on oddschecker.com & used their accumulator to predict various permutations & combinations. I’ve used part number crunching & part gut instinct to finally come up with 6 matches that I feel could potentially bring us a good return. Despite my joviality, I always intended to take this deadly seriously. (I am however now ready for a lay down in a dark room ) I originally thought about picking the 4 or 5 most popular selections, but having studied the matches I felt there were one or two better priced games that were crying out to be chosen so I apologise if your nap hasn’t been selected, but thank you all the same. I’ve changed my mind a few times, but I finally decided to just go for it.This has been really really tough & at the same time very enjoyable. I’ve given this a lot of thought & I hope I don’t let you all down. So, without further ado, my picks for this week are:- Hamburg v Borussia Monchengladbach - Home Win (Mandie Moo, Legend Iwan, Shack Attack) Leeds v Yeovil – Home Win (methcanary, ncfcstar, City Angel, Hissing Sid, Sparkos) Malaga v Valencia - Away Win (Beausant) Middlesborough v Plymouth – Home Win (Mister Chops, Cosmic Twin, Obiwancanary, Dion Dublin= Legend, scrimmage) Osasuna v Barcelona – Away Win ( Inch High, Gingerpele, Berkshire Canary) Roda v FC Twente – Away Win (Scooby) I’m a bit worried about three of them being away wins, but according to oddschecker.com, these are all pretty good odds considering their win-ability so could bring us a fair payout, & that’s without Billy’s generosity. I do realise that I am taking a few chances but I honestly believe these are do-able, & I think we’ll have a few more winners yet this season, so I let my adventurous side loose.I am however not a gambling man, so cannot be held responsible for the fact that this will probably go totally pear shaped & I’ll end up with the worst score ever for a final picker. Still, fortune favours the bold (or he who dares wins Rodney) Feel free to abuse me come Sunday evening Fingers crossed, Hail Mary & Hallelujah Andy p.s. I’d like to change my pick from Man U to a Valencia away win if that’s ok, just to show a bit of conviction in my choices. p.p.s Happy Halloween [6] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
