Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted April 11, 2014 I scoured the whole of Europe, and came to the conclusion that Cambridge was the best bet. However, seeing as the world and his wife have also picked that one, I''ll offer another:Salzburg to beat Sturm Graz. Although Graz are mid-table and their away record isn''t the worst, Salzburg are 13-3-0 at home this season and average four goals a match. Can''t see them slipping up.For the Norwich bet: with the shackles released and Adams gunning for a victory, I think there will be lots of goals with this one. You could get an impressive 6/1 on over 4.5 goals, which doesn''t seem too much of a stretch given the circumstances. If there''s an early goal then the floodgates could open!

I am a Banana 0 Posted April 11, 2014 As someone who prefers the 3pm kick offs, I was the chosen on for the 3:07 kick offs. You couldn''t have made it up!!But here it goes.I''ll be honest, I only considered the English games, with the aim to get 6 that are all 15:07 kick offs that are of decent value.Cambridge do look like a ''banker'' bet, but at 1/5 they didn''t really offer value. I have taken a risk with one game, but I think they do look like a set of 6 in with a chance of winning!Sunderland vs EVERTON A win for Everton will put them above Arsenal and into the champions league spot. Nuff said.DERBY vs HuddersfieldDerby are flying at the moment, and with the Chrissy Martin connection I hope he bags a goal and sets Derby on their way to victory.MK DONS vs CrawleyGames are running out for MK Dons to make it into the play offs, so need a win this weekend to keep any sort of pressure on Peterborough.PRESTON vs CarlisleAlthough Preston are safely in the play offs, they will want any form of momentum they can take into the play off semi finals. They also have an academy product in Declan Rudd between the sticks for everyone to keep an eye on.SOUTHEND vs WimbledonSouthend haven''t yet secured a play off spot, so need to keep picking up the points to make sure of that. They are the 3rd team in my picks to have Norwich Academy products playing for them, Jamar Loza and Jacob Murphy so again a team we should all be keeping an eye out for anyway.Finally......*Drum Roll*Fulham vs NORWICHA large majority wanted change, and they got just that. Hughton has been given the boot, and in comes Neil Adams. This is the biggest game of the season, a win and we stay up, a draw and it''s still 50/50 but a defeat and we are more than likely to be swapping places with Leicester! But with Fulham facing the surprise factor of not having any idea of the team set up, I just fancy us to take the 3 points. This is also my pick.Enjoy your Saturday afternoon infront of the tv/laptop watching the scores roll in. Finally, thanks again Nutty for the chance to pick the Final 6, I think I failed miserably last time, so here''s hoping for a better outcome this time!!On the Ball City!

Saturday afternoon is going to be exciting for us all this weekend. It''ll be like the old days with the teleprinter, my grandad and the football pools[;)] But seriously this is a brilliantly worked out final six. I love your strategy and they say fortune favours the brave so hopefully you''ll get that little bit of luck that has deserted us for a few weeks. I''ve placed the bet with Bill Hill, using the £10 free bet we got for Chelle''s near miss last weekand, and the potential return is a massive £616.12. Here are the details : - Everton 4/5 3:07 Sat GPele Derby 8/11 3:07 Sat Herman, Blah MK Dons Evs 3:07 Sat Newc Uni Preston 8/13 3:07 Sat Inchy Southend 5/6 3:07 Sat DDoris Norwich 12/5 3:07 Sat Leeds ‘nana Massive good luck to you and our beloved team. Here''s hoping for that PUPs win and a City win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,533 Posted April 14, 2014 Here are this week''s stats. 38 PUPs selected with 29 (76%) successful. Between us we provided Banana with 23 different selections of which 15 (65%) won. Most of us offered newkie positive suggestions for the Norwich bet and I don''t think any of us thought a low scoring defeat. We have 4 more weekends for the Norwich bet and 5 more for the main bet. Plenty of time to get past £500 for the season. Here''s the latest PUPs league showing those with at least 50% correct from at least half the available weeks : - Norfolkbroadslim 34 35 97% Trent Canary 34 35 97% Scooby 33 35 94% Hissing Sid 32 35 91% Statto 31 34 91% Cosmic Twin 31 35 89% Twidio 22 25 88% Beauseant 28 33 85% Graham Humphrey 28 33 85% Herman 27 32 84% Swindon 27 32 84% Meth Canary 26 31 84% Til 1010 26 31 84% Chelle 29 35 83% CD Mullins 19 23 83% Leedscanary 19 23 83% Inch High 28 34 82% PurpleCanary 28 34 82% GMF 27 33 82% Jellytot 21 26 81% Hector 28 35 80% Kathy 28 35 80% gravycanaries 24 30 80% Hughesy 20 25 80% Javier''s Deaf Translator 18 23 78% NWC 19 25 76% Mandie Moo 24 32 75% 1st Wazzock 18 24 75% Diesel Doris 26 35 74% Norfolkchance1 26 35 74% Yankee Canary 26 35 74% NCFCStar 17 23 74% Warren Hill 14 19 74% I''m A Banana 25 34 74% Vindo 21 29 72% jb 25 35 71% Mr Angry 25 35 71% AJ 21 30 70% Snake-eyes 16 23 70% nutty nigel 24 35 69% Killie Canary 13 19 68% gregt 21 31 68% Blah Blah Blah 11 18 61% Ginger Pele 21 35 60% Newcastle Uni Canary 18 30 60% Splutcho 14 24 58% Mandie Moo''s Mear Kat 17 31 55% Lappinitup 16 31 52% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
