norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted February 26, 2011 [quote user="cityangel"][quote user="norfolkbroadslim"] Oh yes and really tough luck Nana. You picked 4 correctly, Leicester drew when most would have expected a win and yet again it was the home banker, Fleetwood, that let us down.[Y][/quote]Fleetwood did lose but that wasn''t on Nanas picks [:)][/quote] Oh, well excuse me! CHESTERFIELD, happy now!? The points I make are still valid - The home banker let us down yet again and when the teams with the longer odds came in![:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted February 26, 2011 Fleetwood certainly let me down [N] Certainly on a par with Chesterfield when it comes to shock value.Tough luck to our resident banana, you can''t really do much more than what you did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newyorkcanary 14 Posted February 27, 2011 Hey Eddie,I have a bad feeling about my Man City pick tomorrow vs. Fulham. I picked in a hurry and on second thought, I''d like to pick Benfica HOME WIN over Martimo. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trent Canary 0 Posted February 27, 2011 [quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]For the bet would I be right in thinking that cup games only count for the result at the end of normal, not after extra time? What about for the PUP''s league?[/quote]I take it you were following my pick?! If so then yes my nap of TNS in the welsh cup was 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes, so it would count as a draw at the bookies and on the PUPs league, regardless of them going on to win in extra time.I had actually planned to go with your Dudelange pick, but couldnt find any odds. They drew 2-2 anyway so looks like it wasnt meant to be for me this week! Unlucky as well Nana, a fine effort.Looks like GH''s pick didnt come in either, must be a large tie at the top!

I know Justin''s pick was late this week because he was delayed but the fact that he thought about it and changed his mind is a great thing for the Free Bet. On another week his post could well have helped the guy making the final selections to avoid a loser. TNS counts as a draw. I haven''t entered the reults yet but I think after this weekends games Beauseqant will be the new clear leader of our league.

I am a Banana 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Back for the last time this week. Just want to say thanks again to Nutty and Tilly for giving me this chance to try and put money into NCFC, although it didn''t go to plan I loved every minute of it. I hope you all enjoyed being able to watch the results on saturday, I was getting updated all of the time from TGD [y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks again Lewis. I’m glad you enjoyed your week, I enjoyed it too. You were close to a bumper pay out. Just let down by two of the more fancied selections. Now for the stats. 57 of us picked this weekend with 36 correct making a success rate of 63%. Between us we gave Lewis 28 different selections with 19 winning making a success rate of 68%. I think Lewis did as well as could be expected from the selections we gave him. Here is the latest PUPs League showing those with over 50% correct from at least 50% of the available weeks. Graham and Trent bothe came unstuck this weekend leaving the way clear for Beauseant to claim clear top spot. But there are 5 PUPs in second place waiting to pounce if he should make a slip. We’ve never had a league as close as this.

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted March 1, 2011 I don''t think I''ll make the top 40[:''(] Just as well because I never won when I made the final selections so my contribution is holding together a team of PUPs good enough to beat Billy[;)] Looks like you will get your chance next season[Y] Keep it up and see how high you can finish.
