Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 23

Recommended Posts

Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 23 of the Rays Funds season. This

week we have Norfolkbradslim in charge and making the final selections. ‘Slim

is one of our most consistent PUPs of all time. He is always around the very

top of our league and this season is no different seeing him once again over

90% having been successful with 21 of his 22 selections. Richard is also very

supportive of me and our thread. Whenever I have decisions to make he’s always

one of the first to come up with ideas and support. He certainly is the right

man to be in the hot seat as we attempt to get back to back wins like we did

over Christmas.

 

 

After Cosmic’s fantastic win last weekend our winnings have passed £300

for the season. I think that’s the real proof of how good you team of PUPs actually

are. Last week’s stats were around 90% for the second time in the last three

weeks. More of the same will give Norfolkbroadslim an outstanding chance of

success. Don’t forget for your selection to be considered it must be played on

Sat/Sun/Mon and be listed on Bet365 or William Hill websites.

 

 

I’ve provisionally arranged the rota for February : -

 

01/02/14 1st Wazzock

08/02/14 Yankee Canary

15/02/14 Trent Canary

22/02/14 Mister Chops

 

Yankee and Trent have confirmed but still need to hear from Wazzy and

Mister.

 

 

 

This week Blah Blah Blah is in charge of the Norwich match bet. Blah is

very much part of our wonderful team of PUPs even though he doesn’t post so

often these days. His place on Rays signature is testament to his quality and I

know our match bet is safe in his hands. I’m sure Blah would appreciate all

your suggestions for the match bet against Hull. Good luck buddy our fiver is

in your hands. Don’t forget the bet can be a single £5 or divided into up to

five individual £1 bets.

 

 

Now Ill hand the thread over to Norfolkbroadslim.

Remember theres no pressure because we are

all going to do our best to help you get x2 by your name in the Rays Funds Hall

of Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for the

Community Sports Foundation

 

 

Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away Richard ... the thread is

yours....... [:)]....

 

 

 

As always I leave you with

Rays signature which now reads :-

 

 

                             

Carve their names with

pride.Yankee,4,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork,2, Inch High,3,

Olympiakos to beat Levadiakos in GreeceOlympiakos are top, and have been a winner for us on a few occasions this season. They are 17/2/0 this season.Levadiakos are fourth from bottom, and are 0/1/9 away from home.This game last season finished 4-0, and looks an absolute banker.Best of luck all.(Match Bet - How about Jelavic to score first - If he is likely to start)...

Serie A this week

Juventus v Sampdoria - Home Win

All conquering Juve are 8 pts clear at the top and have 9-0-0 26-4 at home. Sampdoria are mid table with 2-3-4 9-13 away.

For the NCFC bet, given City''s ability to win these "must win" games lets be optimistic (difficult I know), how about HT/FT Draw/Norwich

Best of luck Slim, Blahx3 and all you PUPs

Thank you Nutty for the wonderful introduction.  It really is an honour to be making the final selections again.  Hopefully I can break my hoodoo of my last few times in charge where I have ended up with 5 from 6, as have so many PUPs this season!

 

Please keep the selections coming in, we''ve already had some great ones so far, thanks.  The decision that faces me, as indeed it does all of us, is whether to play as safe as houses, gamble a little, gamble a fair amount, or gamble a lot?[:S]  I have no idea what way I am going to go yet.

 

So please keep the naps coming in, no matter how obscure I will give each one full consideration.  It will probably be late on Friday evening when I make my final selections.

 

Good luck everyone and good luck blahx3[:)]

Hi all and thanks for the good luck wishes so far. Best of luck to NorfolkBroadSlim and all pickers.

Here are some stats for Norwich vs Hull. There are a couple of suggestions for bets here, but they are only suggestions at the moment. Please contribute further with your ideas for bets for the match.

Cheers, and best of luck

Norwich mean average on goals is a 1-1 draw (5 or 6-1 at the moment)

opta facts pinched off oddschecker :

Hull City have won three and lost none of their last five league matches against Norwich.

Hull City have kept six clean sheets this season in the Premier League, but none of these have come away from home.

The Canaries have managed only two goals in their last five Premier League outings.

No team has picked up fewer away points than Hull this season (5, level with Stoke).

Carrow Road has seen fewer goals than any other Premier League stadium this season (21).

Norwich City are one of only two teams yet to score a goal from an indirect free-kick this season (alongside Aston Villa).

Hull have hit only 158 shots (excluding blocked), fewer than any other side.

Norwich are the only Premier League team yet to see a substitute score this season.

Hull City have played 97 Premier League games and have scored 95 goals.

Thanks for providing this Blah[Y]

 

There''s a fair chance we could score 2 goals in this game. Hooper is our most likely scorer. So I''m going to offer Gary Hooper to score 2 or more goals which is 14/1 on Bet365.

No problem at all nutty. It has to be said that if Norwich fail to beat a Hull side who have lost 7 out of 10 on the road, scored 7 away all season, and have had the fewest shots in the league, then it doesn''t look good. But all that is for another thread.

When would you like the selections for the norwich game nutty ?

Going into the bottom league this week, table topping Scunthorpe are flying and have added our academy developed Paul Hayes to their firepower. They are up against a very average Wimbledon at Glandford Park so I confidently predict

Scunthorpe. V Wimbledon. Home Win

As for the match bet I''m confident that all our woes will be behind us by 5pm so go 2-0 win to city.

Good luck to all

For Blah, Hooper is likely to score at least one so probably worth doing as back-up IF you decide to go with nutty''s two.Good luck and good to see you Blah. [:D]

I meant to add Luton may be giving City''s U21 captain Cameron McGeehan his debut so added interest in this fixture for us.
