nutty nigel 7,509 Posted January 5, 2011 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week twenty three of the free bet season. This week it’s our good friend Obiwancanary in charge and making the final selections. This is the third season Obiwan has been with us and he has been a very consistent picker in that time. His turn comes on the back of two winning weeks so he is in the best of form right now. But Obiwan will need all our help to get his name on our line of fame. We have the FA Cup this weekend as well as Leagues One and Two and the Conference. It’s also the Scottish FA Cup and some of the European Leagues have fixtures. So there’s a wider choice than the last few weeks although we do still need to keep an eye on the weather. You Pups have been excellent at this over the last few weeks and don’t forget that there’s lots of good information available in our PUPs Library on the NCISA web site. The rota for the remainder of January looks like this : -January 8th ObiwancanaryJanuary 15th LeedscanaryJanuary 22nd Sports Desk - PeteJanuary 29th City-Til-I-Die I’ll hand the free bet over to Obiwancanary now. Enjoy your week in charge, there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get 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. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Obiwan... the free bet is yours.......[:)].........

Trent Canary 0 Posted January 5, 2011 A decent looking week finally. FA cup, Scottish Cup, European leagues, and a couple of internationals. Ill backup an earlier selection of Bangor City v Haverfordwest.Bangor are 100% at home, having won 10 from 10, scoring 38 and conceding 10. Haverford are 2/2/5 away, with a -14 GD, second bottom.Bangor have lost their last two, with TNS hot on their heels. Would expect them to bounce back here.Best of luck Obiwan.
