nutty nigel 7,508 Posted December 4, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 17 of the Rays Funds season. After Inchy’snear miss for a fouth final selections win last week, this week we have a youngPUP having his first attempt picking the six. I am very proud to introduce toyou Twidio who is our youngest PUP and he''ll be 10 tomorrow.[^] Ryan has been withus for a long time though. He’s been to nearly all our presentations and meetswhere he was a big favourite with Arrdee. This is Twidio’s third season pickingand he’s been a revelation so far. He picked correctly in the first 10 weeksand is still in the chasing pack with 14/16 88%. They are stats that his grandadcan only dream of!! Last week was a tremendous week for our great team of PUPs.45/52 87%picked correctly. A repeat of that will give Twidio an outstanding chance ofgetting us 6/6 after 6 consecutive 5/6s. Don’t forget for your selection to beconsidered it must be played on Sat/Sun/Mon and be listed on Bet365 or WilliamHill websites. This week’s Norwich match bet is in the capable hands of Javier''s Deaf Translator. Jav’s having a great seasonpicking and looks a certainty for a place in the Fab40. Meanwhile I’m reallypleased he has this chance to be more involved. I’m sure he’d appreciate yoursuggestions for our game against WBA. Good luck Jav, our fiver is in yourhands. Don’t forget the bet can be a single £5 or divided into up to fiveindividual £1 bets. Now I’ll hand the thread over to Twidio.Remember there’s no pressure because we areall going to do 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 the CommunitySports Foundation Good luck all you PUPs...

Kathy 733 Posted December 4, 2013 Well wash my crops away and call me Clarence Carter! How fantastic is that? A miniature Nutty picks up the baton. I think the free bet is in good hands for many years to come now. We''re all rooting for you Ryan.I''m running scared of the FA cup this week. Instead I''ve chosen Burnley to beat Barnsley. After an unexpected win at Brighton last night, I cant see Barnsley coming up with a repeat performance.As far as City''s game goes, last season this fixture signalled the end of our long unbeaten run, and I fancy it to be the start of a new one. So a straight Norwich to win for me. Good luck JDT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,710 Posted December 4, 2013 My form has been off for a couple of games so I am going to play it safe. Well it should be. Top v bottom in France. PSG v sochaux.Good luck Twidio and Javier. And all PUPS.2 2 draw on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,545 Posted December 4, 2013 I''m going for the Conference, where Barnet in 7th play Dartford in 23rd, I predict a home win for Barnet at odds of 4/9.Good luck to all PUPs and most of all to Twidio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks Nutty and good luck to Twidio and the rest of the pickers, I will do my best and will be keenly looking at the suggestions everyone produces. for my pick this week, I will be sticking with the English leagues.

R Mellie 0 Posted December 4, 2013 To the land of all things French for me this week, I fancy Monaco to have a bit too much for Ajaccio, so Monaco v Ajaccio HOME win please. For the Norwich bet, and after a lenghty consultation with the tea leaves in my cup after my lovely mrs managed to split the teabag and "forgot" to tell me, I can safely say with absolutely no evidence or science behind it, that Norwich will win 2 - 1, and Hooper will score at least one of them. Many happy returns Twidio and best of luck to you & JDT and all pups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,508 Posted December 5, 2013 Happy Birthday Ryan[^] I''m picking in Belgium this weekend. I think Anderlecht (who are W6 D1 L2 F24 A10 at home) should beat Waasland-Beveren (who are W0 D3 L5 F7 A15 away). Anderlecht v Waasland-Beveren Home Win And for Jav.. Leroy Fer to score anytime is 6/1 and I think he''s one of our more likely scorers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
