Gingerpele 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Banana, really no need for comments like that. If multiple posters want to pick Bayern that''s fine, we all know how you like to pick and no one judges that, so it''s not fair for you to make comments like the above.

PurpleCanary 5,558 Posted September 14, 2012 [quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]CSKA Sofia vs Vratsa - Home win CSKA are only mid-table - P4 W1 D2 L1 F5 A3, however they have played 3 away games out of their first 4 fixtures. CSKA (last seasons league runners-up, missing out on the title by 1 solitary point) narrowly lost their first game away at Liteks Lovetch, they drew their next 2 games and won their last game 4-1 away from home. Vratsa are rock bottom - P4 W0 D0 L4 F1 A13. CSKA should be far too strong for a poor Vratsa side who struggled in the league last season and have started even worse this season. As a result this is reflected in the odds which are the worst you''ll find anywhere this weekend at 1/25! Good luck everyone and the very best of luck Mandy (with an ie)[:)][Y] [/quote] Very tempted by CSKA, with the odds now down to 1/20! However even more tempted by a Croat team in yellow and green.Istra 1961 to win at home against Zagreb.Istra a so-so start to the season, with 11 points from seven games, but some tough fixtures in there, including against Dinamo Zagreb. Three wins and a draw in the last four.Zagreb, by contrast, have lost every game, with a goal difference of -16. Their three away defeats have been 1-0, 5-1 and 6-0.The odds are currently a competitive 8/13, which either means the bookies are paying too much attention to Istra''s mid-table position, or reckon Zagreb have to stop losing sometime...Good luck to all!

[/quote] Nutty, you don''t normally do the weekly selector a disservice but you may have sold short the lovely Mandie ( at least that''s what cityangel says ).If she were to "walk in" with Tilly that would generate very little attention because we all know that Tilly would be swaying his hips on his entrance. We know that because Ardee always said so and, as we know, Ardee never told a lie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally, thanks again to Eddie for keeping this wonderful thread going.[/quote] Thanks Mandie. You''ve made a brilliant job of sorting out this final six. It''s you PUPs that keep these wonderful threads alive. I just administer it on your behalf. I''d be rubbish at picking the final six so am a little concerned that you included my selection. But then I thought how happy I''d be if these won and my selection was part of it. And that''s how I know what all the PUPs are feeling when they try help the picker in the hot seat. But now they are chosen we all move on to get behing your final 6. That''s what I mean about the power of the PUPs being with you! So now all we need is that little bit of luck we always need to get all 6 home. I''ve placed the bet with Bet365 and the potential return is a very healthy £53.85. Here are the details : - Bet DetailsDate/TimeStakeReturnBayern Munich @ 1/6Dunfermline @ 4/11Gillingham @ 8/11BATE Borisov @ 1/3CSKA Sofia @ 1/20MTK Budapest @ 2/56 Folds, 1 bet * £10.0014/09/2012 23:51:1110.000.00Total for this period 10.000.00 All the games are played today.
