YankeeCanary 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Thank you to all for your selections as well as the kind comments. It''s always a great pleasure to have the opportunity to make the final selections and, like other PUPS, I will never forget Ray''s inspiration behind the thread and Nutty''s wonderful attitude in both sustaining and building the thread to a level beyond what even Ray may have hoped for. Now, we move on to the final two weeks. I believe we have reached a total winnings of just over 358 pounds ( thanks again GP ). Wouldn''t it be great if we can end the season with four wins in a row and take that number to more than 500 pounds. It will be difficult because the season has ended for a lot of clubs. It''s entirely possible if we all work a little harder ( and a little sooner )to find great selections for Duncan Edwards next week ( imagine how chuffed both Edwards would be with a win ) to take us north of 400 pounds. This would then leave the challenge of a big win in the final week for Mister Chops, who I believe has demonstrated previously that he knows how to come up with a really big win. No pressure intended but....here''s hoping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,554 Posted April 29, 2012 Sensational stuff Yankee. Win number four is a terrific achievement. But it''s not just the wins. It''s also the wisdom that you have shared with us over the years. Ray always held you in the highest regard and recognised the value of your contribution to the thread as a whole. He certainly wouldn''t be surprised that you now have that number four by your name. A huge thank you to Ginger Pele too. I had a brilliant PM from him during the week where he said he wanted to double the bet. We agreed to announce it after Yankee had selected so that we didn''t add any pressure. Then I nearly forgot!! Thankfully I remembered in time and suddenly we are passing £350 for the season instead of the the £300 mark which it would have been. It''s the spirit within our group that pleases me the most. The success of Rays Funds is underpinned by the group of all ages worldwide united in achieving the same goal. This weeks success proves the point with GingerPele backing Yankee Canary to bring another £90 to our great club''s academy. Now I get to update Ray''s signature once again. This signature is a permanent reminder of Ray''s inspiration behind the thread and everyone''s determination to keep it going : - Carve their names with pride.Yankee,4,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork, Inch High,3, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,2, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,2, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, yes Norfolkchance1 £1655 for the Academy,so far.

nutty nigel 7,554 Posted May 1, 2012 Well now, what a week this was! We had the excitement of Yankee’s unprecedented first win and Gingerpele’s terrific gesture doubling those winnings. Now I can tell you what a great performance all you PUPs gave in providing the ammunition. 43 of you picked with 36 correct, a strike rate of 84%. Between us we gave 21 selections of which 17 won making a strike rate of 81%. Those stats speak for themselves. Mr Bump still leads the way with Norfolkbroadslim hoping for a slip. Jed, Statto, Til1010 and Trent are keeping the pressure on both of them. It’s still really close around the dotted line too. I don’t think anything will be decided before the final week. Here are those with at least 50% correct from at least 50% of the available weeks. The line denotes the Fab40. Those above the line at the end of the season will be making the picks next season.
