Herman 9,710 Posted August 17, 2013 Bloody Wigwam! Unlucky Til. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 17, 2013 Yes Herman, Wigan did us no favours there. But I can''t be too disheartened because it was great to be back at Carrow Road today and then meet up in The Nelson afterwards. I think there must have been 20 PUPs there and my thoughts went back to Arrdee and how proud he would have been. Not just the community of the PUPs together from so many different places. And not just because our great club is playing the likes of Everton, premier league ever presents, on an equal footing. But also last years U18s parading with the Youth Cup they won last season. Us PUPs contributed to the development of those players. Great to be back guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,718 Posted August 18, 2013 Well miffed to be honest as it currently stands at 4 correct out of 5 with PSG playing at 8pm tonight so no prizes what that result will be. Anyway we are up and running and Nutty tells me he has had several donations so thanks for your support to help keep this going throughout the season but he still needs more financial help. Get those tenners to him somehow you PUPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 18, 2013 Unlucky Tilly. It finished 4/6 but the first weeks are notoriously difficult and you were brave enough to take it on for us. Next job for me is to compile this weeks stats so I''ll be back with them tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,718 Posted August 18, 2013 PSG did me like a kipper for my selection with a 1-1 draw.[:(]Anyway I loved doing the picks and wish everyone success for the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 19, 2013 It was quite an incredible response from you PUPs this week. I make it 33 PUPs picking 61 different selections. At the moment 46/60 were correct with GPele''s Almeria selection playing tonight. By the looks of it we have a great team of PUPs again this season[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warren Hill 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Should that be the other way round Nutty? 61 picking 33...? Still, pretty good strike rate that, in excess of 75% picking correctly. If we keep that up we should see some winning weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 19, 2013 Yep.. "my bad" I think is the correct expression. Your away win was notable as were others including Stewfil''s brilliant selection of Fulham. Another trend I noticed carrying on from last season was how good we seem to be at selecting from Germany and Holland. 6/6 from those two countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted August 19, 2013 Think I picked the biggest win (but not at the best odds) Barcelona v Levante 7-0 unfortunately not used this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 20, 2013 Unfortunately Almeria lost so we ended up with a very creditable 46 correct selections from 61 games and 22 correct from 33 different options. All 46 winners are joint top of our PUPs league[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
