Cardiff to beat Bristol City for me this week please.

Good luck everyone, especially Mr Chops.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

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]

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.

[Mister Chops 7]

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.

[Cosmic Twin 189]

I''m going for a home win for Salisbury City v. Billericay Town.

Good Luck, Mr Chops!

[Scooby 0]

Benfica to win for me this week please.

Good luck Mr C and all.

[nutty nigel 7,531]

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 : -

 

Cardiff 8/15 1pm Sat Sid, Bor, CTID, Hughesy   Bayer Leverkusen 1/2 2:30pm Sat Mr Angry   Twente 2/11 5:45pm Sat Yankee, NYC, Kathy, Beaus, Pete   Oostende   3/10 2pm Sun Purple, Trent Valencia   2/5 4pm Sun nutty Benfica   2/9 8:15pm Sun Tilly     Mister I don''t think you indicated your own pick.   Best of luck to us all.

[nutty nigel 7,531]

Hopefully you can make it out!

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!

[TIL 1010 4,738]

Twente 1-0 up at H/T.[Y]

[nutty nigel 7,531]

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.

 

 

[TIL 1010 4,738]

A 90th minute equaliser has done it for us this week i am afraid. Finished 1-1 so unlucky Mr. C.

[TIL 1010 4,738]

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]

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.
