Rays funds for The Academy with the Pink un Pickers Week 21

Recommended Posts

Decided to tiptoe into the minefield that is the FA Cup and plump for Hull beating Leyton Orient. I mean - it''s not as if Orient are going to pull off a shock FA Cup win at a side gunning for promotion to the premiership are they? Oh hang on........

Good luck Wazzy!

Thank you Wazzy. You''ve found a great final six from some brilliant selections from our PUPs. We just need that little bit of luck that''s been missing then we will be celebrating on Sunday evening. I''ve placed the bet with Bet365 and the potential return is £37.51. Here are the details : -

The games are evenly spread over the weekend. Middlesborough and Tottenham get us underway tomorrow at 3pm followed by Lazio at 7:45. Hopefully we will be undefeated going into Sunday when AC Milan kick off at 2pm followed by Liverpool at 4pm and Barcelona at 6pm. I think Wazzy has provided us with a very exciting weekend.

Apologies from me also, I''m gonna do something I never do and that is to go with our very own Norwich for an away win. Good luck to one and all.

This is a genuine question, and with no intention to stir it up, but why is it you raise money for a multi-million pound business as if it was a charity?

Looking good after 3 results, although Lazio only won with a penalty after Cagliari had 2 men sent off-this could be the luck we need!

I see, but shouldn''t the club with its enormous premier league income be paying for youth development?

Is this a way to pay directly to youth development as opposed to paying for tickets and shirts, hoping that part of that revenue would trickle through?

Yes great stuff so far thanks to Wazzy and great to be in the hunt overnight. Looks like we got lucky with Lazio and as Mr Angry points out we always need that and it''s long overdue. Sleep well Wazzy[S]

AC Milan drawing 0-0 at Half Time.

I''d just like to take the opportunity to remind them that Siena are bottom and have conceded in each one of their last five games.
