nutty nigel 7,534 Posted January 2, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 21 of our Rays Funds For The Academy season. This week we have a PUP legend and celebrity with First Wazzock in charge and making the final selections. Wazzy secured one of our biggest ever wins a couple of seasons ago when his final six returned £80. He also keeps many of us amused with his light hearted banter on here and of course his never ending supply of jokes. As Aunt Marge he has helped with many posters face their problem, even those related to St Andrews Hall. Wazzy who’s also be known by some of you as Dr Vinyl is great company at our PUP gatherings and is a great supporter to me and all us PUPs on these threads. After the difficult holiday fixtures of the last couple of weeks we are faced with the uncertainty of the FA Cup this time. Some of the European leagues are back but some are still on a break so be careful PUPs. I’ve provisionally sorted out the rota for February. Please let me know if these dates are ok. As always I can facilitate a change if necessary. Feb 2nd FonejackerFeb 9th Trent CanaryFeb 16th NewYorkCanaryFeb 23rd Leeds Canary So now I’ll hand the thread over to Wazzy. 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 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 Steve ... the Rays Funds Thread is yours....... [:)].. As always I leave you with Rays signature which now reads : - 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,3, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo, Mr Bump, Kathy, Til1010 yes Norfolkchance1 £1859 for the Academy,so far.

newyorkcanary 14 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi All,I will head to Greece for an Atromitos HOME WIN over Kerkya. As far as Feb 16th, that date actually isn''t great as I will be in Puerto Rico (family vacation) from the 15th to the 22nd. Travel day on the 15th so I won''t be near a computer. Any week in March would be great if that works for you. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted January 3, 2013 Three games in Italy caught my eye. Fiorentina (1/4) look too strong for Pescara and Juventus (1/5) look good to beat Sampdoria. However my nap is Lazio (4/7) to beat Cagliara. Lazio at home are W7 D1 L1 F18 A8 while Cagliari away are W2 D2 L5 F8 A19. Lazio v Cagliari Home Win Good luck Wazzy and all you PUPs[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lappinitup 629 Posted January 3, 2013 League One, where third placed Doncaster can go top with a decisive win Saturday. They entertain relegation haunted Colchester who''ve lost nine of their last ten games. The only question in my mind is, can Donny score the five goals they need to go top?Doncaster v Colchester.......Home win.Good luck Wazzy. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted January 3, 2013 A happy new year to you all, you mothers. Juventus will beat Sampdoria this weekend in Italy. There are lots of stats to back this up, but old Bor doesn''t have any truck with them. Just trust me, I slipped a certain Signori an envelope previously intended for Redknapp Snr.

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Wouldn''t normall pick a derby game, even odds on faves at home, but Barcelona against Espanyol is hardly a derby anyway, from the outside, not sure how much the locals and players rank it. Barcelona to start after the short break with a win.Barcelona vs Espanyol- home win.Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
