nutty nigel 7,352 Posted March 13, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 31 of our Rays Funds For The Academy season. This week we have SportsDeskPete in charge and making the final selections. Pete was giving Tilly and Mr Bump a run for their money in our PUPs league until a few weeks ago. A couple of losing weeks have seen him drop a few places but he’s still having a good season with an 81% strikerate. I’m sure Peter The Deleter will give consideration to all your picks and not discard any out of hand. Don’t forget as always for your selection to be eligible for the final six it must be listed on Bet365 website and played on Saturday/Sunday/Monday. I’m sorry I haven’t done last week’s stats. I have a lot on at the moment but will get the stats completely up to date after this weekends fixtures have been played. So now I’ll hand the thread over to SportsDeskPete. 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 Pete ... 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,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,3, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary,2, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo, Mr Bump, Kathy, Til1010 yes Norfolkchance1 £1932 for the Academy,so far.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted March 13, 2013 Reckon I ought to apologise for last week''s carbuncle, and I won''t be necking a pint of me own piss given that I can barely get a pint out of me these days, and when it''s brass monkey weather like this, that takes me a good five minutes to find the old fella in the first place. Hoping I can make things right this week when I say that FC Copenhagen will beat AC Horsens this week in the Denmark super league.FC Copenhagen can''t stop winning at home and AC Horsens are mid table cannon fodder if you ask me.

Mr Angry 1,512 Posted March 13, 2013 Wouldn''t usually pick from any English leagues as they seem too unpredictable but odds of 4/7 for Doncaster (top) to beat Portsmouth (23rd) in League 1 are too good to turn down!Best of luck Pete and everyone else.

Gingerpele 0 Posted March 14, 2013 Going exotic this week, off to Mexico!Third placed CF America host Real San Luis this weekend, the home side are unbeaten at home with a 4/1/0 record, with a +11 GD at home. Their opponents are yet to win in 10 games so far this season, only avoiding defeat on two occasions. They''ve conceded 10 away from home in five games as well. Not great odds for this one, but a home win seems very likely and I like finding rubbish away teams, as looking for a loser seems to be easier than looking for a winner often!CF America vs Real San Luis- Home win!Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 728 Posted March 14, 2013 Poor odds I''m afraid but we need some more money in the PUPs account so off to Bulgaria: Ludogorets Razgrad v Pirin Gotse home win.Good luck Pete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,585 Posted March 15, 2013 On their mobile site, click on the SOCCER icon which will bring up a long list. Keep heading down to one that says Europe. All the obscure leagues are in there. Sometimes they aren''t put up til quite late in the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
