nutty nigel 7,606 Posted March 10, 2010 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week thirty two of the free bet season. This week it’s our good friend and free bet legend Blahblahblah in charge and making the final selections. Now I don‘t use the word legend lightly. Not only has Blah already got his name on our line of fame but he is also responsible for one of the longest standing jokes on the free bet pages. Yes Blah’s famous “Chesterfield Moment” is a real gem from the free bet trinket box. Now I know you won’t mind Blah so I have included the link here : -http://www.pinkun.com/cs_pinkun/cs/forums/1018303/ShowPost.aspxIt’s a great reminder of the early days of the free bet and Ray’s account of how he phoned the bet through to Billy won’t fail to bring a smile to the face and a tear to the eye.Now Blah comes into his week on cracking form having napped correctly in five of the last six weeks. I know he has been working on a strategy to get us another win so all us pickers must do our best to give him the ammunition to fire at Billy.Next week I will publish the rota for the rest of the season. It’s a shame we’re on the home run now because I have enjoyed it so much. Here’s hoping we get to carry on again next season. Just a reminder of the rota for the rest of March: -Mar 20th - Til 1010Mar 27th - Yankee CanaryI’ll hand the free bet over to Blahblahblah now. As always there’s no pressure, because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get x2 by your name in the Free Bet Hall of Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for our great clubs academy. No blame and no shame on the free bet pages. So take it away Blah... the free bet is yours.......................As always I leave you with Ray''s signature which now reads: -Carve their names with pride.Yankee,3,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,NewYork, Inch High, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock, Fonejacker, Norfolkbroadslim, yes Norfolkchance1 £789 for the Academy,so far.

blahblahblah 2 Posted March 10, 2010 Cheers nutty, good to see that some threads never die [:)] Arrdee told me by email afterwards that the week after was much busier, so if me being a total fool has helped in a small way to get people involved, so much the better. Hopefully this week won''t be an epic fail, as the youth of today are inclined to say ! I''ll try to make a selection at approx 5 pm on Friday, and will be looking for 5 short odds picks and 1 longer pick. It seems that 6 short odds picks almost never come out, so we may as well have a small gamble to try and build the prize up a bit.I look forward to your picks !

nutty nigel 7,606 Posted March 10, 2010 Of course you weren''t a fool Blah, it was just one of those special moments that life gives us from time to time. And of course it gave Ray the chance to tell the tale in his inimitable way[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcstar 292 Posted March 10, 2010 Good luck this week Blah, I get the feeling our run of bad luck might come to an end!I''m off to sunny Spain this weekend, where I fully expect:Real Madrid to beat ValladolidIt''s away so you may get a bit better odds, and Valladolid are right down there at the bottom of the table whilst Real are topping the charts at the moment.Good luck once again Blah, and to all you Pups.

Munich are top of the league, newly promoted Freiburg are second bottom. Munich won the reverse fixture 2-1. Oh and Munich have won the last nine meetings (Spread over several season!)
