Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 21

[AJ 1,218]

Usually cup games for me are a banana skin, but like others, I can''t see past Liverpool vs Oldham home win

[lappinitup 629]

Scottish League Two where second placed Clyde (5-1-3-14-13) are home to rock bottom Queens Park (1-1-6-7-19). Clyde v Queens Park.......Home win. Good luck Graham. [Y]

For the City game, Hughton is certain to give the fringe players a run out so there''s a good chance that Josh Murphy will score at some point.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

Right then, after careful consideration and taking into account "The Magic Of The Cup", squad rotation, likely weather conditions and so on I have finally settled on these six:Blackburn v MANCHESTER CITYRochdale v LEEDSGlyfadas v OLYMPIAKOS VOLOSBARCELONA v ElcheLIVERPOOL v OldhamFIORENTINA v LivornoThanks to all for their selections - quite a varied bunch considering the obvious restrictions and some very interesting ones there I was tempted to include.  Clyde, Newport and Gateshead were all seriously considered but I have a feeling the weather could yet put paid to them and I thought Middlesbrough-Hull was quite interesting but felt it was still slightly too risky.  But who knows?I know the odds aren''t likely to be great but it all counts so hopefully this one comes off.

[gregt 66]

Hello again TWIDIO is havin problems logging in,he says his pick is olympiakos to beat kalloni

[nutty nigel 7,531]

Brilliant stuff Graham. Thank you for these buddy. I think the hat-trick is well and truly on!

Man City	1/3	12:45Sat	MMMK
Olympiakos Volou	2/11	1:00 Sat	Purple
Leeds	10/11	3:00 Sat	Norflkch, NewcUni

Liverpool	1/8	3:00 Sun	Vindo,Sid,MM,Star,Stat,GMF,AJ,Angry,Beaus,Hughesy,Gravy
Fiorentina	1/3	5:00 Sun	Killy, nutty, Chelle

The bet is nicely spread out over the two days so once again I think we''re in for an exciting weekend. Good luck everyone[:)]

 

 

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

Apologies for missing the boat.

 

My nap this week is Barcelona - home win

 

For the match bet Norwich 4 - 1 Fulham. Ryan Bennet to score first.

 

Good luck all[Y]

[Hector Brockelbank 95]

Ok after much deliberation & tearing up of numerous lists I''ve decided upon the final 5.

The two most common selections were RVW either to score first or any time and josh Murphy to score at anytime. So my first two picks are RVW first goalscorer @ 5-1and josh Murphy to score anytime @ 15/4 which is no bargain but worth including.

Nobody wants another trip to craven cottage so it''s bound to happen 1-1 @ 11/2

This could be far from a classic. Two ordinary teams, lots of changes. No goal scorer 12-1

Finally one for the doom mungers. Another cup no show! fulham -1 on the alternative asian handicap @ 7.20 for those who are unfamiliar with asain hcps in this instance a Norwich win or draw = bet loses. Fulham win by one goal = stake retuned. Fulham win by two or more = bet wins.

1. RVW first goalscorer

2. Josh Murphy anytime goalscorer

3. 1-1

4. No goal scorer

5. Fulham -1 alternate asain hcp

Hope there is something here that is to everybody''s taste.

[Redders Right Foot 22]

Brest v PSG in the french cup for me, with a PSG win.

good luck all and sorry I was late

[DDD In The Fine City 1]

Sorry for my absence the last few weeks I''ve been up to all sorts with xmas and all, couldn''t miss Mr Humps week

My pick will be for a Norwich draw and my city bet would have been the 1-1 so good luck Graham!

[nutty nigel 7,531]

Thank you for these Hector. They give us all plenty of added excitement during tomorrows game. As you say there should be something there for everyone. I''ve placed these with Bet365 and put £1.50 on each

 

1. RVW first goalscorer 1.50 @ 5/1 £9.00 2. Josh Murphy anytime goalscorer 1.50 @ 15/4 £7.123. 1-1 1.50 @ 11/2 £9.754. No goal scorer  1.50 @ 12/1 £19.505. Fulham -1 alternate asain hcp 1.50 @ 7.2 £10.50

 

I was at Watford when Josh scored his first senior goal and it was a great moment. It''s not lost on me that Rays Funds contributed to Josh''s developement and it would be superb if we could win money for the CSF through him scoring tomorrow.

Olympiakos Volos are 4-0 up at half-time but have decided to have a man sent off, just to test our nerves...

[Herman 9,756]

The joys of the FA Cup.

[Herman 9,756]

Well done to Hector.

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

Bad luck Herman and well done Mr Blumenthal for getting the correct score and nearly £10 in the kitty[Y][:D]

[nutty nigel 7,531]

Really unlucky Graham. The first weekend in January is notoriously difficult so well done for stepping up to the plate.

 

Congratulations Hector!!! [Y][<:o)] Well done buddy. So we have a hat-trick of sorts as we add to the funds raised for the 3rd consecutive week. And I''m really pleased about that because at half-time today we saw first hand some of the work done by the CSF with money raised from the sporting light appeal. Today''s win meanns so far this season we''ve raised £281 to help this worthy cause.

 

I''ve updated Ray''s signature with Hector''s win. That''s now four PUPs who have won with the match bet. There are some places left to make these selections if any new posters would like to join our team.

Sorry for the late pick, its worthless but for the sake of the league, Liverpool to win.

[nutty nigel 7,531]

Saturday''s two cup games did for us this week. In fact the Cup was a bit of a graveyard with 5/8 selections losing. Liverpool''s success with 13 PUPs being on them masks this in the stats. Altogether 44 PUPs selected with 34 wins and 2 void games (81%). 20 different options were selected with 11 winning and 2 void (61%). Graham had an extremely difficult job this week so his 4/6 was a great effort.

 

Congratulations once again to Hector who  included 1-1 in his match bet selections. So at least we added to the funds raised for the third consecutive week.

 

There were no casualties at the top of our PUPs league so Trent and Statto remain unbeaten. Here''s the latest table showing those with at least 50% correct from at least half the available weeks : -
