Rays funds for the Academy with the Pink un Pickers Week 40

[PurpleCanary 5,554]

To Malaysia:ATM to win at home against Negeri Sembilan.ATM in second with a so-so 5-1-2 and 13/4 home record. Negeri Sembilan bottom with a 0-2-6 and 5/11 away record. It doesn''t shout "home win" as much as some others, which may explain why the current odds are a reasonable 1/3. And if ATM, which is the armed forces team, isn''t winning it can always stage a coup d''état and declare a victory.[;)]Good luck to all!

Brilliant job thank you Ginger Pele. Puts my tired old efforts to shame! And thanks all for your kind words and support all season long. We''ve had a great season which I''ll report on after the weekends results. Doing this really is always a pleasure and never a chore!

 

If it''s not too late Dave my pick is in Austria where Austria Vienna (W10 D3 L3 F35 A14 at home) take on Wiener Neustadt (W2 D3 L11 F12 A36 away)

 

Austria Vienna               v               Wiener Neustadt               Home Win.

 

Good luck Dave and all you PUPs.

You did give me the easiest week to add some extras, final week of the season and after the FA Youth cup final win!

Anyway thank you, and thank you to everyone else for your kind words. Really am proud to have been given this responsibility this week by Nutty.

Fingers crossed for CTID!!

[quote user="city-till-i-die"]When do my 6 have to in?[/quote]I think I''m right in saying anytime tonight or early tommorrow morning Dave.

[nutty nigel 7,509]

Anytime tonight will be fine for the final six Dave.

Hello everyone, and sorry for the lateness - just got back from a very sunny Ibiza!

With lots still to play for at the top of the table, it seems hard to pick one of the champion league spot games.

Chelsea would like to finish third but face a tough visit from an Everton side who will want to win their last game for Moyes.

Arsenal play Newcastle who are obviously now safe

And Tottenham, who have a history of bottling it, have an arguably easier task at home to Sunderland.

Just going to pick the team I feel most likely to come through with three points, and that will be Arsenal - away win.

[Cosmic Twin 185]

I''m going for a home win for Benfica v. Moreirense.

Good Luck, city-till-i-die!

 

[city-till-i-die 7]

Final 6. Thnx all for picking.

Dortmund

Ac Milan

Benfica

FC utrecht

Paris sg (my pik)

Barcelona

[nutty nigel 7,509]

Dortmund	2/5	2:30 Sat	NYC, GrahamH, Greg, Meth
PSG	1/7	8:00 Sat	Mandie, Mister, Leeds, Swindon, CTID
FC Utrecht	13/20	3:30 Sun	Lapp
Barcelona	2/7	5:00 Sun	MKat, Bump
Benfica	8/13	6:30 Sun	Tilly, Beaus, Cosmic
AC Milan	1/5	7:45 Sun	Chelle

 

As Statto would say here''s hoping for a PUPs win and a City win. Good luck everyone[Y]

 

 

[Scooby 0]

Dortmund for me please Nutty.

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

That''s a great potential return for 6 teams like that!

[city-till-i-die 7]

That''s a good return for those teams :-)

Thnx again for the opportunity NN

I Think i can speak for all Pups when saying "A massive pat on the back NN for keeping this going season after season"

Fingers crossed now let the footballing gods smile on us this weekend.

Tilly just pointed out to me that I had the wrong odds for Benfica. They were 1/6. This was a typo from me and not the odds on the bet so have no fears the potential return IS £47.51. : -

 

Bet Details	Date/Time	Stake	Return
Borussia Dortmund @ 2/5 AC Milan @ 1/5 Benfica @ 1/6 FC Utrecht @ 13/20 PSG @ 1/7 Barcelona @ 2/7 6 Folds, 1  bet * £10.00	17/05/2013 22:48:21	10.00	0.00
Total for this period		10.00	0.00

 

 

[nutty nigel 7,509]

Once again the first game lets us down. Dortmund took an early lead but then conceded two late goals to lose 1-2. Unlucky CTID.

 

 

[city-till-i-die 7]

Arhhhhhhhh

Fell at the first hurdle AGAIN dagnamit

[norfolkchance1 0]

Sorry Ive been very late this week, I''m going for Spurs to beat Sunderland this week.

Good Luck City till I die and all pickers

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

Benfica half an hour in 0-0.  Barcelona don''t kick off until 8pm.

 

Good luck Bump & Tilly[Y]

[jed exodous 0]

I''ll have Barca please.

 

Sorry I missed last week and am so late this week.

[Mister Chops 7]

Benfica win 3-1, and Barcelona 2-0 up though Valladolid have a pen.

[nutty nigel 7,509]

I can confirm that after todays results we have a new name on our PUPs league trophy...

 

Congratulations to Tilly[<:o)]

 

I''ll be back tomorrow with all the stats from what has been a hugely successful Rays Funds season!

Congratulations to Tilly once again and also 13 PUPs on 80% or more is impressive. It''s been a great season for us and the quality of selections has been better than ever. I honestly think this team of PUPs is our best ever. Thanks to all your efforts we have won £381.91 this season which we will present to the academy when they start playing again next season. Nine winning weeks is terrific! That''s nearly one in every four attempts. Here are the details : -

 

Win week 4 (Scooby)	18.68
Win week 5 (Mandy)	53.85
Win week 9 (Mr Bump)	39.77
Win week 10 (Kathy)	30.9
Win week 12 (Tilly)	60.84
Win week 21 (Wazzy)	37.51
Win week 28 (Leeds)	35.15
Win week 34 (Norfolkchance1)	67.57
Win week 35 (NewYorkCanary)	37.64
Total Wins 2012/13	381.91

 

We have no funds to carry over into next season so I will be back on here during the summer asking for the £10 commitments needed to keep these threads going. There could also be more good news when Kathy returns from the storms and announces the Canary Challenge results. But for now I''d like to thank you all for making this so easy for me to administrate. Have a great summer and see you next season.
