nutty nigel 7,509 Posted January 26, 2011 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week twenty six of the free bet season. This week it’s our good friend City-Til-I-Die in charge and making the final selections. CTID is doing very well in our league this season with 73% correct picks and comes onto his week in cracking form having picked correctly in ten of the last eleven weeks. On his turn last season he was very close too, being another of those PUPs who got five from the six. But good as he undoubtedly is Dave will need us PUPs to be in great form to help him go one better and get six from six. There’s a great range of fixtures this week. We have the FA Cup and lower leagues in England, cup and league action in Scotland and of course all the European Leagues. This promises to be a great weekend for finding those naps. Don’t forget that in order for your pick to be eligible for the final selections there must be a price for it on the odds checker site which can be found in our PUPs library on the NCISA Web Site. Now I know CTID has been looking forward to his turn and is eagerly anticipating a bumper selection of great picks from all us PUPs. We need to be quick off the blocks this week though because he will be making the final selections on Thursday evening. The revised rota for next months final selections is : -February 5th Norfolkchance1February 12th Pboro_CanaryFebruary 19th CityangelFebruary 26th Newyorkcanary Our great friend Kev has been busy this week and has resurrected the "Rays Funds For Foncy Group" on Facebook. It can be found via this link or from the link on my signature. Don’t forget 11th Feb is now confirmed for our next meet up and I will do a quiz for part of the evening. City Angel is bringing some nibbles and I’m going to make sure there’s plenty of Arrdee sausages to be consumed. I’ll hand the free bet over to City-Til-I-Die 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 Dave... the free bet is yours.......[:)]..... As always I leave you with Rays signature which now reads :-Carve their names with pride.Yankee,3,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork, Inch High,2, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,2, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, yes Norfolkchance1 £1182 for the Academy,so far.

You deserve this mate, I''ll never forget all your help when we were trying to get those tickets a couple of seasons ago!Don''t forget Pups that Eddies Pups meet is the night before the Reading game at Carrow Road, so what better way to come and meet all your fellow Pups, then have a nice stay away in a hotel for the night, then see the boys march closer to promotion?As Eddie said before, I''m trying to get the Facebook page off the ground again. I know 42 of us are already members, but everyone is welcome join. I''ll be updating the page at least once a week - feel free to post your own banter on there too! I know Tilly enjoys it! Just a tip - Rays funds for foncy wall postings will appear on your news feed in Facebook if you are "friends" with the person that posts it. So if you are going away, but use a facebook app, add me to friends and you''ll be kept up to date with all the Free Bet news.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted January 27, 2011 It came down to 2 for me this week. There are 3 games being played in the French Cup on Monday night. Rennes (3rd in Ligue 1) are at home to Reims (17th in Ligue 2) with only 1 league away win all season. It was close, but in the end I was swayed towards Eindhoven, who are playing on Saturday and should be far too good at home for Willem. So my nap is -Eindhoven vs. Willem II - home winGoodluck everyone, best of luck CTID[:)][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

English club names (Aston Villa and Crystal Palace apart) are SO boring. There is a whole world of oddball identities to savour out there. The Black Roses of American Samoa, The Green Buffaloes of Zambia. The intriguing Ganja. Not a Jamaican team, as it happens, but from Azerbaijan. Miscellaneous of Botswana. Churchill Brothers of India... Moving on, I''ve had another top Libyan tip from Colonel Gadaffi (Al-Ittihad to beat Al-Najma) but it''s tomorrow teatime. So we are off for the first time to Andorra, pearl of the Pyrenees.Sant Julia to beat Encamp. Sant Julia are 4-2-0 at home, with a 16-1 goal difference. Encamp are encamped at the bottom with a 0-0-6 and 5-26 record. Bonne chance a tous![Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted January 27, 2011 [quote user="Herman "]FC PORTO V Rio Ave HOME WIN Good luck all[/quote] Herman, I was looked at this game but unfortunately it''s not played until Feb 6th. Porto are in League Cup action this weekend. Hope you see this in plenty of time to pick again and CTID - please don''t select this one. Now I messed up in my opening post. The revised rota for February should have read : - February 5th Norfolkchance1February 12th Pboro_CanaryFebruary 19th CityangelFebruary 26th Til 1010 The whole point of posting it was for that change on Feb 26th. Nutty''s cracking up! But the mistake prompted NYC to resend me a pm which I hadn''t received so it worked out for the best in the end!! PM''s on this site do seem very hit & miss so the best way to contact me is by email Canaryeddie@aol.com Now for my selection. As I have said before I am totally rubbish this season so in an attempt not to jinx anyone elses pick I''m going for Blyth Spartans to beat Stafford Rangers in the Conference North. This comes with a health warning because yet again I am off our League Table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
