nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 16, 2011 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week thirty two of the free bet season. This week we have yet another member of the Free Bet Hall of Fame NewYorkcanary in charge and making the final selections. NewYork, like Inchy last week, has selected over 100 winning picks since the free bet started. Many of you know NewYork as Justin of the New York Canaries and he epitomises how these threads unite fans from across the world. Justin has been a tremendous supporter of the free bet since the beginning and I’ve been looking forward to his week in charge all season. Justin has been in tremendous form again this season and has picked correctly in each of the last nine weeks. But he will still need all our help if he is to get another winning week for the academy.. This is where you will our PUPs library on the NCISA web site useful. And don’t forget to check out our Face Group page. Kev is updating it regularly and it’s a good way of keeping in touch with other PUPs. I’m sure all you PUPs would join me in congratulating that part-time PUP Smudger who completed his half marathon in a very good time and also beat his sponsorship targets for Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes. We are very proud of you Smudger but you need to start picking more regularly again.[;)] And I’m sure some of you also sponsored Devon when he cultivated that ‘tache for Movember. I am in posession of this photo (Thanks WITS) and hopefully Ben will be able to explain who’s who. But I think Ben is on the right. Good things come in threes and the third sponsored event I have to remind you about is this weeks picker Justin’s wife Allyson who is running the Boston Marathon next month for the Dana Farber Cancer Center. Details can be found HERE Good luck with that Allyson[Y] I now have the rota for April confirmed : - April 2nd Mister Chops April 9th Yankee Canary April 16th NCFCStar April 23rd Til 1010 April 30th Shack Attack I’ll hand the free bet over to NewYork now, enjoy your week in charge, there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get x2 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. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Justin... the free bet is yours.......[:)]...

newyorkcanary 14 Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for the kind words Eddie. I''ve been looking forward to my week for some time and I hope to do the Pickers proud. I did want to say that because of the time difference, I will be making my picks on Friday around Lunchtime for me.... that means about 5 PM Norwich time for you. So please give me as many choices as possible.... Pick whatever match suits your fancy, but I will say from the outset I have always been partial to Europe....OTBC!
