nutty nigel 7,351 Posted January 25, 2012 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week twenty one of the Rays Funds for FONCY season. This week we have another one of our current 90%ers Statto in charge and making the final selections. Statto has been ultra consistent since he joined us His overall record of 65/81 80% is right up there with the best. I think it’s only a matter of time before Statto gets his name on Ray’s signature. In fact I think it’s going to be this week because all you PUPs have been on top form so our luck is due to change. Don’t forget for your selection to be eligible for the final six it must be listed on Bet365 website. You can also check this on odds checker. Now hopefully this site will allow an uninterrupted thread this week. Pete assures me he knows a man who understands this quaint little message board with all it’s quirks and foibles. But on the evidence of this afternoon that man is not all he’s cracked up to be. If this doesn’t work then there’s the face book page. Or my email is canaryeddie@aol.com but that rather defeats the object which is to display the selections on here for Statto to choose a final six. So now I’ll hand the thread over to Statto. Remember 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 Jamie ... 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,3, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,2, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, yes Norfolkchance1 £1476 for the Academy,so far.

I am a Banana 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Stevenage vs Notts County. - The FA CupStevenage have just installed a new manager so their players will be looking to impress. They also put 5 past Rochdale in their last game. Notts county were beaten by bournmouth at the weekend so will be lower on confidence.Stevenage have won 6 at home and notts county have lost 9 away. Stevenage vs Notts County - Home Win.Stevenage are Evens at Bet 365, good odds I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted January 25, 2012 Statto, I don''t envy you this week. There aren''t many of the traditional home bankers around, hardly any in fact. Even trawling through the FA Cup and the Welsh Cup nothing jumped out at me as nailed on as nailed on can be. If anyone can pick 6 winners this week it''s you, and I am sure you will steer the PUPs happy little ship home safely through the troubled waters.On to my pick. I was torn between two, Real Madrid and Olympiakos, but keeping with my tradition for this season and going with my very best nap it''s going to have to be - Real Madrid vs Zaragoza - Home WinGood luck everyone, the very best of luck Statto[:)][Y]P.S. I had an absolute mare getting on just to make these two posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Going to Holland this week, were Steve McClaren''s side FC Twente will be looking to beat mid table side FC Groningen at home. McClaren having re-joined Twente i''m sure will be going all out to try and win the league again, and their current home record is pretty good standing at 6-3-0, scoring 26 and only conceding 7. FC Groningen aren''t doing too badly in the league, but seem to be relying on their equally good home record, but away from home they have only won once, drawn 3 times and lost 4. Scoring only 9 times in those 8 games, while conceding 18. Seems all to one sided for McClaren''s team.FC Twente vs FC Groningen- Home win.Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statto28 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Good afternoon one and all and as always Nutty thankyou for that most warmest of welcomes. This is certainly something that I really look forward to but having had a cursory look at the fixture list for this weekend, I feel without doubt that as much much help as possible will be required. I will consider all suggestions and naps, however crazy and far fetched. I plan to post my selection sometime on Friday evening so keep those selections coming and I will return to my plotting, scheming, ruminating and cogitating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Good evening all I wish you the best of luck Statto and to this end I am going for:Bayern Munich V Wolfsburg - Home WinBayern are W3 D0 L2 GF30 GA3 at home so far and both or their losses have come against Munchenglbach (currently 4th) and Dortmund (currently 2nd in the league behind Bayern on gola difference) which were both 1-0 losses.Wolfsburg on the other hand have a record of W1 D1 L7 GF9 GA25 away from home. Thier onyl away win so far being an opening day win against mid table FC Koln.With Bayern scoring an average of 3.33 goals a game a home and Wolfsburg conceding an average of 2.77 it looks like a home banker to me.Good Luck all you pups.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted January 26, 2012 Having found myself back on the published Pups league I''m again going for an away win - two weeks ago I predicted that Norwich would beat WBA but bottled the sellection and went for Ipswich to get beat so this time...I''m leaving Ipswich alone and my prediction is Hereford V SHREWSBURY AWAY WINGood luck Statto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted January 26, 2012 A trip to Egypt, where Al Ahly SC should beat Al Mokawloon.Al Ahly are second in the league, 5/1/0 at home. Al Mokawloon are in the relegation places and are 0/2/5 away.Al Ahly are unbeaten in 33 league games stretching into last season, and recently beat Al Mokawloon 5-1 away. Their doesnt seem to be a lot of goals in this league, so I dont see this as a cert, but the stats point towards a comfortable win.Best of luck Statto!
