YankeeCanary 0 Posted November 2, 2013 [quote user="Herman "]That just sums up an awful day all round. Fell at first hurdle again. Find me an island where there is no football![/quote] Herman, all I will say is that my selections have been poison this season ( future selectors take note please ). I chose six as a short list today before providing you with my final selection. All six of my picks went down in flames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,713 Posted November 2, 2013 No worries Yankee. It was the first one ticked on my shortlist as it looked dead on. Just one of those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted November 2, 2013 Yankee, as you know I watch very carefully how all us PUPs get on. You are going through one of those spells we all have from time to time. No reason for it, it just happens. I remember in one of our early seasons I couldn''t tip a baby out of a pram! Arrdee just laughed and said that my endorsement of a selection was akin to the kiss of death but that was only temporary. He told me to keep doing what I was doing and it would come right. And it did. As it will for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,713 Posted November 3, 2013 Yep, another five-for. Will you get the stake back?Ho-hum. Beaten by a freak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city-till-i-die 7 Posted November 3, 2013 Swansea to beat Cardiff please. Sorry VERY late this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted November 3, 2013 Awwh big shame, hadn''t checked the results for this until now and was hoping Herman had pulled it off. Again really unlucky, 5/6 is probably worse than 2 or 3 from 6. Good picks, just one of those unfortunately far too regular weeks when one team just doesn''t show up. Much like Norwich City!!

Beaten by a freak.[/quote] Unfortunately no Herman because it was already a free bet from last weekend so there was no stake. But that just goes to show how close we are getting. Your record of 6/6, 5/6 and 5/6 is a credit to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted November 4, 2013 So close again and roll on next week. Not a good one from a Norwich point of view, let''s just hope we can get a win next week to cheer ourselves up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted November 4, 2013 The stats bear out what a great effort Herman''s 5/6 was. 53 picked this week with 36 good calls (68%) giving 32 options of which 23 won (72%). Apart from Leverkusen we had shock results in the Twente, Oxford and Maribor games so it proved to be a difficult weekend. Despite this the four PUPs heading our league managed to keep their perfect records intact. Here''s the lates table showing those with at least 50% correct from at least half the available weeks.
