nutty nigel 7,902 Posted March 24, 2010 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week thirty four of the free bet season. This week it’s our good friend Yankee Canary in charge and making the final selections. Yankee is number one on Ray’s line of fame because he was the first ever winner. In fact he was also the second ever winner. And that 3 by his name is because he has won for us on three separate occasions. So as you see he is a real “Free Bet Legend” who has been with us right from the start. On top of all this Yankee was also the first winner of our PUPs League and is in possession of one of the super trophies that Kev (Leeds) had made for us. I am proud to think that one of our trophies is on display in New Jersey. It just shows how the Free Bet spans continents trying to win money to help our great football club.And when I think about how our effort on here over the years has gone towards the development of the young players at the academy I can’t help thinking about Korey Smith and the pride we should all have over his performances this season. It’s incredible to think that this young man must be on the shortlist for player of the season in his first ever season in the first team. We had just one point from the first nine when Paul Lambert gave young Korey his chance. And his introduction to our midfield has been a constant in this seasons amazing run of form that has taken us 8 points clear at the top on League One. He may not quite make POS this time because there are so many others in the mix, but if he doesn’t he is a certainty for future years.Now even though Yankee is a Champion and three times winner he will still need all our help if he is to get an unprecedented fourth win for the academy. So we need to find our very best naps to give him plenty to consider. Although the incredible 24 of you on 80% or more is testament to the fact you do that every week anyway.I’ll hand the free bet over to Yankee now. As always there’s no pressure, because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get X4 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 Clyde... 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.

I am a Banana 0 Posted March 24, 2010 This week I have gone for...Wolves Vs Everton DRAWNormally I would have given everton the win, but with wolves hitting a bit of form with 7 points from 9, and they will be full of confidence, after a 3-1 mid week win over west ham, and playing infront of their home fans they will be up for the game.David Moyes will have his everton fired up as always so this game has draw written all over it.GOOD LUCK YANKEEEEEEEEEE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
