nutty nigel 7,351 Posted February 26, 2014 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 29 of the Rays Funds season. Here weare coming into March already and well into the second half of our season.Where does the time go? It’s been a great season so far and our winningsalready stand at £450. Hoping to add to that we have another top PUP thisweekend with Diesel Doris in charge and making the final selections. Diesel isone of our most consistent PUPs this season with 22/29 (79%) successful picks.Trish is also another of our supportive PUPs and was at Colney with us topresent last season’s cheque a few months ago. I know Trish would really love to get us another win and get her nameonto Ray’s signature so we need to pull out all the stops to help make thishappen. You PUPs have been brilliant all season so I always think we have agreat chance! Don’t forget for your selection to be considered it must beplayed on Sat/Sun/Mon and be listed on Bet365 or William Hill websites. I’ve turned a blind eye to selectionsthat don’t comply with this rule so far but twice now it’s caused us problemswhen selecting the final six. So I’m afraid Friday night matches and those notlisted on Bet365 or Bill Hill will be void. This week Feedthewolf is in charge of the Norwich match bet and I’m surehe’d appreciate all your suggestions for the match bet against Villa. Good luckbuddy our fiver is in your hands. Don’t forget the bet can be a single £5 ordivided into up to five individual £1 bets. As most of you know our great friend Tilly is ill in hospital. I’ve gotnothing new to report at this time. He’s still in intensive care (7thday now). I’ll keep you all informed on this thread as soon as I hear anythingnew and let’s hope there’s some good news soon. All we can do is to continuewith the good wishes that he will soon be on the mend. Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away Trish ... the thread isyours....... [:)]......

Trent Canary 0 Posted February 26, 2014 Evening all - Top v Bottom in Bulgaria, where Ludogorets should beat Pirin Gotse DelchevLudogorets are top by a point, and are 8-2-2 at home, with a 30/7 goals column. Pirin are rock bottom, 0/1/11 away with a 6/36 goals column.On the plus side Ludogorets won the first fixture this season 0-3, however be warned that Ludogorets play in the Europa league on Thursday against Lazio so there is a risk of rotation, also the equivalent fixture last season finished 1-1 - So would not say this is a banker.Best of luck all.Norwich bet - Agbonlahor 1-0 - Lambert has an incredible record in ''grudge matches'' (NCFC v Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel Doris 122 Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks for the intro Eddie. Hope that with the help of all our lovely PUPs out there I can continue our winning ways in what has been a fantastic season. I''ll make my selections around 10pm on Friday so good luck everyone!!Can''t post this without a mention of our friend Tilly. So sad to hear that the old b****r is in hospital. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. I''m pretty sure a PUPs win would help give him a lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,511 Posted February 26, 2014 I have been rubbish lately but in the Dutch top league, Vitesse in 3rd should beat Roda who are bottom, odds 2/7.Good luck DD and good luck to the rest of the PUPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted February 27, 2014 [quote user="PurpleCanary"]For the NCFC bet I like the look of half-time/full-time Norwich/draw at 16-1.[/quote]Nutty is kindly keeping an eye on whether odds appear for this choice in the Russian Cup:CSKA Moskva to win at home against Sokol Saratov.CSKA are fifth in the top tier while Sokol Saratov are top of the third tier. Impossible to know whether CSKA will take this seriously, but there are signs they will. They are out of all European competitions, and in the previous round won 2-1 away against a second-tier team.Failing odds on this, I will back up Trent''s choice of Ludogorets in the Bulgarian top flight.Good luck to all!

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 27, 2014 This week I''m going to tip Hull to beat Newcastle, Newcastle have been struggling after putting on a great display first half at FCR and with Long and Jelavic Hull have a two forwards who can cause problems.So Hull v Newcastle Home winAs for the City bet, I think The messiah might just shock a few people and put one over poor PaulSo Norwich to win and there be more than 2.5 goals Ladbrokes price 5/1Finally I''m sure all our thoughts are with Tilly and his family and we hope to see him back on this thread very soon.Good luck all.

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted February 27, 2014 Just like my holidays I''m off to Turkey for my selection[H] Top of the league Fenerbahce with a home record of W9 D2 L0 F31 A9 should have too much for lowly Genclerbirligi who are W2 D1 L7 F6 A13 away. Fenerbahce v Genclerbirligi Home Win And for Norwich I''m suggesting our only man who it seems can score, Robert Snodgrass to score first goal at 12/1. Good luck everyone. The Tilly news from yesterday was a little more positive. I''ll be back with the next Tilly update hopefully later today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted February 27, 2014 Poland this week for me.League leaders Legia Warsaw host 8th place Jagiellonia on Sunday. The home side have only lost 1 of their 11 home games, winning the rest. Scoring an impressive 29 goals, conceding just seven times. Their opponents away form isn''t too bad with a 3/4/4 record, scoring 11 and conceding 15. But the home side should be too strong for them.For the Norwich bet, out of hope as much as anything else, Norwich over 2/5 goals is 10/1. I think all our recent performances and missed opportunities will finally turn into a thrashing for someone, and hopefully Villa will be on the receiving end.Legia Warsaw vs Jagiellonia- Home win.Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splutcho 160 Posted February 27, 2014 Let''s go with Reading to beat Yeovil at home at 4/7.For the Norwich bet, given that I had the right score last week and I''m feeling like it''s about time we put away more of these chances - Norwich 3-1 win is 40/1. Better yet, go with Fer to score anytime and 3-1 pays 85/1. Good luck both of you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMF 720 Posted February 27, 2014 Fresh from their first league defeat of the season, I suspect Celtic won''t want to see their "narrow" lead at the top of the top reduced any further from its thinnest of margins of a mere 21 points. Celtic vs Inverness Cally Thistle - Home win please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MethCanary 0 Posted February 27, 2014 Fenerbahce looks like the best of the European games this week so i''ll go with that please Nutty.Good luck Trish and all PUPs.MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hector Brockelbank 95 Posted February 27, 2014 After two losers in a row I need to get back to winning ways. Barcelona home winFor the match bet I''d go along with other posters. It''s got to be a holt/hoolahan orientated bet, or perhaps a little left field, but am I right in thinking Ryan Bertrand is at villa on loan? He must be a big price to score anytime.

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted February 28, 2014 Just received this Tilly Update : - Just a quick update on John Tilson, he is now responding to treatment and is slowly improving although it seems it is going to be a long and slow recovery. He is moaning to the nurses that he is bored so there is an obvious improvement if you know what I mean. I''ll keep you updated accordingly. Let''s hope it''s not too long before he''s back moaning on here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
