Graham Humphrey 13 Posted February 15, 2013 The Conference for me this week and I reckon that Forest Green (3rd, 53 points from 31 games) will see off Gateshead (20th, 31 points from 27 games). Forest Green have taken eight points from the previous four games while Gateshead have taken just one, losing the last three in a row.Best of luck Michael - Pink''un legend and all-round top guy - and to all PUPs.

Mister Chops 7 Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks for all your picks so far. I will be back later after I''ve done some analysis but there looks to be a decent amount to pick from this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted February 15, 2013 Hello again,And first let me say thank you to Nutty Nigel for continuing the one thread on this board that I truly enjoy and look forward to. Let''s hope we can be lucky this weekend, and in that spirit thank you to everyone who has given me a pick to select from.I won''t pick from the FA Cup. I just won''t do it. Sorry. I know Chelsea and Arsenal look massively tempting but I can''t bring myself to pick either of them and hope I don''t regret this tomorrow (or Sunday, or whenever they are being played).I watched a film recently called Moneyball. It was okay. Brad Pitt''s quite handsome and I like baseball. Not much of a plot though. Anyway, as you keen followers of the relegation mini-league™ (© Chops) will know, I am keen on stats. There is nobody in Norfolk better with Microsoft Excel than me. Etc etc. I lie, a little.So, six home games it is. Of those offered: Home W D L Pts GD Pts/Game Gl diff/game Away W D L Pts GD Pts/Game Gl diff/game Cardiff 12 1 1 37 17 2.6 1.2 Bristol City 3 2 10 11 -10 0.7 -0.7 Twente 7 2 1 23 12 2.3 1.2 Willem II 0 4 7 4 -17 0.4 -1.5 Oostende 9 2 0 29 16 2.6 1.5 Heist 1 3 6 6 -8 0.6 -0.8 Bayer 7 2 1 23 12 2.3 1.2 Augsburg 1 4 5 7 -8 0.7 -0.8 Benfica 6 2 0 20 17 2.5 2.1 Academia 1 5 2 8 0 1.0 0.0 Valencia 7 2 3 23 2 1.9 0.2 Mallorca 1 3 8 6 -14 0.5 -1.2 Forest Green 7 4 3 25 14 1.8 1.0 Gateshead 3 5 8 14 -11 0.9 -0.7 I noted Valencia shipped five at home twice but both to attacking sides. Mallorca are not attacking, as far as I can tell. Oh, jinx.I will select the following six: Home Away Cardiff to beat Bristol City Twente to beat Willem II Oostende to beat Heist Bayer to beat Augsburg Benfica to beat Academia Valencia to beat Mallorca Thanks again, fingers crossed and let''s hope we get a bit of overdue luck this week.

nutty nigel 7,556 Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks Mister. Brilliant analysis resulting in an exciting final six. This is just what we need on a weekend with no game so if we get that overdue slice of luck we always need this could keep us interested all weekend. I feel that this is going to be another weekend which sees PUPs from all over the world checking the scores of random games all over Europe as the power of the PUPs will the final six home. And what a strong final six they are with a very healthy potential pay out of £60.46. Here are the details : - Cardiff8/151pm SatSid, Bor, CTID, Hughesy Bayer Leverkusen1/22:30pm SatMr Angry Twente2/115:45pm SatYankee, NYC, Kathy, Beaus, Pete Oostende 3/102pm SunPurple, TrentValencia 2/54pm SunnuttyBenfica 2/98:15pm SunTilly Mister I don''t think you indicated your own pick.

Gingerpele 0 Posted February 15, 2013 What do you mean not much of a plot Chopsy? I thought they kept pretty well to the real life events it was based on (or the book the real life events were based on, what ever) anyway, good set of picks and hopefully you''re on to a winner!

nutty nigel 7,556 Posted February 16, 2013 Well there we have it. In all three games today we had a late goal against us. Unfortunately this one cost us and it finished 1-1. Unlucky Mister. And Leeds. Shows how difficult this game is, There are no certainties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,777 Posted February 16, 2013 A 90th minute equaliser has done it for us this week i am afraid. Finished 1-1 so unlucky Mr. C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,777 Posted February 16, 2013 The wrinkly old stormchaser [:D] ( Beaus expression not mine i hasten to add) has just posted the Canary Challenge PUPs League on the Rays Funds Facebook page and it looks as though somebody is running away with it with an 8 point lead.

Mister Chops 7 Posted February 16, 2013 Rats.Thanks for the opportunity this week - it was looking good but 90th minute equalisers weren''t in the script. And there I was feeling good about dodging the Arsenal-shaped banana skin.... oh well. Onwards and upwards to next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
