Scooby 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Thought I''d throw Romania into the pot this week and top of the table Dinamo Bucureşti who face Sportul Studenţesc at home.I''m hoping Dinamo will be too strong for their neighbours so I''m going for a home win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 6,114 Posted March 16, 2012 A first trip to Slovakia. MSK Zilina to win at home against DAC. Zilina with a 6-3-1 and 16/8 home record. DAC with a 1-0-9 and 6/20 away record. For some reason Zilina are known as Šošoni (The Shoshons) after the Shoshone native-American tribe, but also as the Žlto-Zelení or TheYellow-Greens, for their admirable choice of club colours.

blahblahblah 2 Posted March 16, 2012 Who would be a home fan at Wigan ? 1 win, 6 draws, 7 defeats, 11 goals scored, 24 against. West Brom have a 6-3-5-20-21 record away from home, which is a match for Tottenhams away record over the season.So I''d like to pick an away win for West Brom at Wigan.Good luck all !

Muddy funster 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Nice call Lapps! I went for that on my accumulator at 9/10 so good odds too.My nap is even better odds believe it or not but not without danger.Burton Albion v Torquay - away win, with odds of 5/4 on Torquay it seems good value considering the run that Torquay are on.Good luck all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted March 16, 2012 All the games I fancied have been taken, so searched high and wide and for various reasons ended up with Brisbane Olympic v the University of Queensland. Partly because Brisbane are top of the league 4/0/0, with a 17/6 GD. University are 0/2/2 with a 2/11 GD. But mainly because a few years back I got chatting to a guy at a bar in Brisbane who apparently played football for the local University, he had a soft spot for Norwich, purely because it reminded him of the Australian colours. Judging by the state he was in I imagine the university team are half-cut by the time they even get onto the pitch.However do be wary that last season the two games between the two clubs were close, although Olympic did win them both.Best of luck all!

Leedscanary 381 Posted March 16, 2012 I would say just go with the five you''ve selected it would be horrible if the replacement you selected ended up letting you down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,778 Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks Purple. I was sure there were odds. I have looked on Stan James and Laddies but no odds there either. Oddschecker shows a few firms still pricing it at anything up to 1/50! I hope Norfolkchance1 looks back in here this evening. I''m sure he will have a 7th pick that he just ruled out.

nutty nigel 7,778 Posted March 17, 2012 Thank you Norfolkchance1. This is a very exciting set of selections which you have worked out well. It''s a snapshot of any week on these threads. It reflects the many different picking strategies and you have combined them perfectly. I would love us to get that little bit of luck that we are due this week. Not just exciting selections but also a mouthwatering return of £149.62 if we are succesful. I''ve placed the bet with Bet365 and here are the details : - Bet DetailsDate/TimeStakeReturnWest Brom @ 13/8Torquay @ 11/8Man Utd @ 1/3Chelsea @ 2/7AZ @ 1/5Real Madrid @ 1/6Six-Folds, 1 bet * £10.0017/03/2012 01:32:3510.000.0010.000.00 West Brom and Torquay get us underway today at 3pm.
