Rays funds for The Academy with the Pink un Pickers Week 12

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 12 of Rays Funds of our Rays Funds season. This week we hope to have a real legend with Yankee Canary in charge and making the final selections. Of course Yankee is the only PUP to have recorded 4 wins in the final selections but his contribution is much more than that because he is also a poster who’s advice I set great store by and also has a knack of knowing the help I need from so far away. Yankee’s record speaks for itself. He was our first ever winner of the final six and followed it up the very next week with another win. And of course he’s won again twice since. Yankee was also the first winner of our PUPs League and has been a really consistent picker throughout the six season’s he’s been selecting. This season he’s on 91% with 10 correct picks from 11 selections.

 

 

Now I say “we hope to have Yankee in charge” because He’s in New Jersey and they are having a tough time of it at the moment. Yankee emailed me to say that they were expecting that storm and we left it that if he didn’t email me by this evening we’d put a contingency plan into action. Tilly is that plan but no way is he a plan B. Tilly is one of our most consistent PUPs and a great supporter of these threads on here and to me personally. Tilly is also on 91% this season after picking 10/11. He also finished last season on 92% so his selections are always worth considering in the final six. Of course many of you know Tilly personally from our meets and various other functions. I always look out for Tilly at the various club meeting and functions I attend. I know he will give me stick but I also know I’m always made to feel welcome in his company.

 

 

So whichever of these top PUPs takes charge this week I think we have a really grerat chance of recording another win for the academy. But they will still need our help and don’t forget your selection must be on Bet365 if it’s to be considered for the final six.

 

 

I’ll be back late this evening to confirm this week’s picker. It’s looking increasingly like it will be Tilly as it seems New Jersey took a real hammering and many are still without power. Let’s send the power of the PUPs to Yankee with our best wishes.

After last weeks dismal showing I am going to give Vaughan and co another chance. at home to a Bristol City team who aren''t miles ahead of our struggling neighbours and at almost even money (10/11 at L) this looks like a good solid starting point

Huddesfield V Bristol City Home win

 

Good luck.

Nothing looking great to me at my usual European haunts this week. I almost never go England and the FA Cup by nature scares me. I''ll go with Chopsy on the TNS HOME WIN though. Best of luck!

On The Ball City....

 

Home Win!

[norfolkchance1 0]

Doncaster to beat Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Cup 1st Round, At the same stage last season Bradford PA were beaten 8-1 away by AFC Totton.

Good luck Yankee / Tilly and all pickers, and may I echo Nuttys thoughts and hope that you are OK at the moment in the US.

Keeping a hopeful but doubtful eye on odds for a game in the second tier in Hong Kong. Assuming none appear, then it is off to the Turkish second tier:

Adana Demirspor to win at home against Ankaragucu.

Adana are only seventh, while Ankaragucu are eighteenth and bottom. But Adana have won their last four league games by 4-2, 2-0, 4-1 and 3-2, while Ankaragucu have lost the last three by 5-1, 1-0 and 4-1, and they played tonight in the cup, while Adana have had the week free. Even if the HK game became available I would still like the look of this one. The current odds of a very competitive 1/2 possibly reflect league position rather than recent form.

Good luck to all!

No word from Yankee so now I’ll hand the thread over to Til1010. Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get your name in the Rays Funds 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 Tilly ... the free bet is yours....... [:)]....

Scottish FA Cup for me. Brechin beat Stenhousemuir 7-2 last weekend. On Saturday they are at home to Scottish junior side Bonnyrigg Rose. 3/10 looks a decent price for this.

 

Brechin             v             Bonnyrigg Rose         Home win.

 

Good luck Tilly. We need another "silver picker" on Ray''s Signature to keep Lapp company[H]

Forest v Millwall for me this week and I fancy Forest for a home win. Good luck to Tilly and all this weeks pickers.

PSV have won all five of their home games this season, scoring 20 and only conceding 3 and host Heracles who have been very inconsistent on the road and find them selves 5 places lower in the table. They haven''t lost in their last seven games, so it''s a bit risky going for a PSV win, but that''s what I''m going for.

PSV vs Heracles- Home win.

Good luck.

[Hissing Sid 160]

I''m going to risk the Scottish Cup this week

Cowdenbeath v Vale of Leithen - Home Win

Hoping all is well with Yankee.

Best of luck Tilly, and all you PUPs

Premier League for me

Tottenham to win at home against Wigan

Good luck everybody, especially Tilly

[Leedscanary 389]

Good luck Tilly, and warm wishes to Yankee - hope you''re ok, and all is well in NJ.

This week has to be COVENTRY v Arlesley Town - HOME WIN in the FA cup.

Even though Coventry have been dire this season they should be too good for the Evo Stick Southern side.
