nutty nigel 7,902 Posted March 28, 2012 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week thirty of the Rays Funds for FONCY season. This week we have one of our thread''s greatest friends with Newyorkcanary in charge and making the final selections. Justin was a great help to me last summer when Billy’s generous sponsorship came to an end. His messages and emails really focused my mind and it’s thanks to Justin’s enthusiasm that we managed to make the necessary changes to keep this thread going. This is a great opportunity to say thank you once again Justin. Now when I first posted on this message board, and even when I first took part in these threads, I never dreamt it would result in me meeting Canary fans from all over the world. But that’s exactly what has happened and it was fantastic to finally meet Justin at Carrow Road last December. It’s this spirit of togetherness that Ray put together and it’s great to see that the spirit remains. Norwich fans from all over the world uniting and meeting. Of course Justin is a very successful picker too and his name sits proudly in Ray’s line of fame. He’s on top form at the right time to because nine of his last 10 picks have been winners. But all us PUPs need to be at our best to help Justin get x2 by his name in our hall of fame. 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. There is no other criteria. We just ask for your very best nap wherever that may be. Justin’s wife Allyson is running the Boston Marathon in support of the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. If anyone wants to support her this is the link to the giving page. (I think there’s roughly 1.6 dollars to the pound) : - http://www.rundfmc.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=484862&supid=344392376 So now I’ll hand the thread over to Newyorkcanary. Remember 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....... so it’s up to you NewYork, Newyork……………..[8][:)].... 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, Statto, yes Norfolkchance1 £1509 for the Academy,so far.

Trent Canary 0 Posted March 28, 2012 Evening all, no odds yet but lets go to Estonia with Flora to beat Kuressaare.It is still very early days in the season, however in 2011 Flora finished top with a 26/8/2 record and 100 goals scored. Kuressaare finished second bottom with a 7/5/24 record.Flora have won the last ten home meetings between the two, scoring 44 and conceding 2 in the process. Although last seasons 2-1 result suggests the gap in class is narrowing.Best of luck Justin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Danish 1st Divisions, and Randers to win at home against Naestved. Randers with a 5-1-0 and 11/2 home record. Naestved with a 0-0-7 and 7/21 away record. Bonne chance a tous! PS. Trent, thanks for the PM a few weeks ago. I did reply, in case it hadn''t got through and you thought I was ignoring you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted March 28, 2012 Good evening Pups.I would like to nominate PORTO to beat Olhanense in Portugal on Saturday.Porto play at 7pm and will go top if they win - knowing that Braga (1st) play Benfica (3rd) at 9:15 that evening and the pressure may do for Braga.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/portugal_results/tables/default.stmGood luck PUPs.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted March 28, 2012 Good evening Pickers, good evening to you all. I was having a lovely old mardle with Frankie from next door earlier, he''s the lad I told you about who burnt down his local Wal-Mart while high on crack cocaine. I''d have nothing to do with that stuff, rest assured - as I teach my local English language class here, winner''s don''t use drug''s. Right, so to this week and I''ve got a bit of a fancy on for Ross County to beat Raith Rovers on Saturday. I have many reasons for this: Ross County are top of the league and Raith are almost bottom.Ross was my favourite character from Friends. I do like a good documentary. Bonne chance a tous and joyeux noel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Going Dutch this week, Ajax are on a fantastic run at the moment, and are facing Heracles at home, who despite winning their last game, lost the previous four, and have only failed to lose in five out of their thirteen away games, and Ajax winning six of their last seven at home winning by at least two goals in those six games. I''ve also doubled checked its actually taking place this weekend this time :)Ajax vs Heracles- Home win.Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby 0 Posted March 30, 2012 I''m having a truly awful season with my picks so NYC, I strongly advise you NOT to go with mine!Just for the record however, I''m going to have Turkey on Sunday.Enough about my lunch plans, how about Beşiktaş at home to Samsunspor? Beşiktaş have 10 home wins so far and Samsunspor, 10 away defeats.Home win for me.Good luck NYC and all ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Currently no odds for Estonia, so as a backup I best have Dynamo Kiev to beat Chernomorets.Dynamo are 20/4/0 in the league, but still in a tight race for top position, Chernomorets are mid-table with 8/6/10. Kiev have won the last seven fixtures between each other.I will keep checking the odds and flip back to Estonia if they appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
