Davo 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Hmmm now I do not want to in any way stop people from picking the naps they want to BUT... yes that''s a BIG but I''m new* to this gambling malarkey so I really do need all the help I can get.Davo* Well when I say new I mean I''ve never gambled in my life (I think Norwich, Women, alcohol, Norwich, Music, Beer, Norwich, Women and finally Norwich are enough vices don''t you?! Without gambling?) I don''t even do the lottery or scratch cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Butler 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Germany to beat England, but if Billy wont allow that..............Have a weak spot for Southampton so will go with a win for themGood luck all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statto28 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Absolutely fantastic to have this back once again - for me, the undoubted highlight of this board Always a tough one to pick the first week but after much calculation, intuition and damn right guess work, I''m plumping for - Gillingham Vs Cheltenham - Home win Here''s as always lookng forward to both a City win on Friday and of course, a PUPs win to boot!

Cosmic Twin 180 Posted August 5, 2010 It''s always difficult picking the first game of the season, apparently you can get some strange results on the opening day! [;)]So I''ve gone on last season''s form and am in agreement with Diesel Doris. I''m going for a home win for Chesterfield v. Barnet. A good home record v. a poor away one.Good Luck, Davo!

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted August 5, 2010 Drinks, Nana and Mr Bump - I have logged your selections for when you are away and will post them on the thread next week. Have a great time[H] Great stuff Scooby.. I know I''m not the only one who''s been looking forward to your turn.[Y] Big Slob - Where are you... WHERE ARE YOU... LET''S BE ''AVIN YOU.. are you ok to select next week? Thanks for the link and welcome TWM another useful tool for you PUPs can be found here Kev, I got your message thanks. I would have loved to hang on until you could make it but I really do think we should get this money handed over to FONCY. Just let us know when you''re next down here and we''ll arrange a PUPs Night in your honour. [B] Davo - We''re not really gambling because we''re not risking any money thanks to Billy''s generosity so we can''t lose. So don''t worry about the betting side of things Billy will take care of that for us. Just pick the six games you feel are most likely to have been forecast correctly. Billy and I will do the rest.

Hope everyone has had a good break and ready to go again.My first pick of the season is in the already up and running Danish League. Second place FC Midtjylland to win away at bottom of the table Esbjerg (who have lost their last two games 3-0). Good luck Davo and all PUPs. MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkchance1 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Hi hope everyone is well, this is where the proper football starts after all the pre season friendlies. Well done to Nutty and Billy for getting this back up again and hopefully we will do as well as last season.My nap is Bristol City to beat Millwall, I think it could be a big season for Bristol City and they will start well.Good Luck Davo and all pickers, the first week is always a bit of a lottery though.

Excited Canary 18 Posted August 6, 2010 Hey Nutty! I hope I am not to late in notifying you that I also am away next weekend! Therefore can I give you my nap now? Prediction: Chelsea to beat West Brom! Cheers[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted August 6, 2010 Welcome to the thread Jed and WITS. It''s great to have you with us.Now WITS, Friday games are of no use to the PUP making the final selections because the bet doesn''t go on until Saturday morning. But I think it''s only fair to count this for our own PUPs table this time. Especially as you moved to this fine county just to join the thread[Y][;)]Jimbo_Jet_Set and Norwich - I have your selections logged and will post them on next weeks thread.I just realised I haven''t posted a nap yet. It is really tough this week and I feel as though I have pushed poor Davo into the lions den. However on reflection he''s one of our very best PUPs and I''m sure if anyone can crack it our Davo can[Y]My nap is the same as my friends TGD and Graham :-Queens Park Rangers V Barnsley Home WinGood luck everyone......[:)]......

Davo 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Thank you all for your picks. I''ve made a note of each and every one. I don''t have a system but I''ll be posting my picks earlier than I previsouly said. It''ll probably be around 5pm hopefully as it''s better to do them before I go out tonight than run the risk of forgetting to post them once I come back int he early hours.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
