Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 16

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Welcome PUPs to

week sixteen of our Rays Funds season. This week we have every chance of

returning to winning ways with previous final six winner NWC in charge and

making the final selections. NWC recorded his success last season after one of

the most unlucky 5/6ers in his first attempt. Marcus is a top PUP who’s got 75%

correct selections this season and that fantastic record of 11/12 in previous

goes in the hot seat. NWC will still need our help so let’s give him our very

best selection from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend and listed

on the William Hill web site. It’s got to be Bill Hill this weekend because we

have a free bet to use from Purple’s unlucky 5/6 last week. Losing that on the

very last game after a missed penalty brought it home to me yet again that we

need to enjoy and share the wins when we get them because we need everything to

go right in all six games for us to win.

 

 

After last week’s

international break it’s great to have the match bet back. This week we have a

real star and one of our founder PUPs The Great Drinkell making the selections.

Drinks is having a great season this time providing us with value bets for the

final six where he is +£2.52 over the season. Last season he drew TGD had

Everton away for the match bet so I’m sure he’ll enjoy sorting through your

suggestions for the match at home to Brighton a lot more this time. We have £6 to spend Paul, so you can choose up to six

selections either from the PUPs suggestions or of your own.

this week’s thread over to NWC and The Great Drinkell. Remember there’s no

pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you to success.

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

Sports Foundation.

 

 

Good luck all

TNS to beat Rhyl

 

p.s: Nutty, I am not authorized to use the William Hill site on this side of the ocean so, if there is a problem with this selection, please let me know. Thanks.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

That game is fine Yankee. Most of the leagues appear on both. Even Purple''s games seem top be on Bill Hill these days.....

 

 

[Trent Canary 0]

I reckon Newcastle will keep up their recent good form at home to a poor QPR side. Bit risky but 5/6 looks decent for what it is.Best of luck all.NCFC bet, I fancy an own goal for either team at 12/1.

[Herman 11,136]

To Denmark, whereFC COPENHAGEN  should beat Silkeborg.Third placed, reasonable form against without a win, rock bottom.Good luck all PUPS[Y]

[AJ 1,358]

League one and 4th placed Notts County to notch a home win against bottom of the pile Yeovil

[Hissing Sid 160]

A trip north of the border this week, to the Scottish Prem

Inverness Caley Thistle (2nd, 5-2-0 11-4 at home) v Motherwell (3rd bottom, 1-1-5 5-11 away) - Home Win

And for the match bet, City to bounce back. Norwich win both halves at 15/4 on Bill Hill.

Best of luck NWC, Drinks and all you PUPs.

[chellecity 0]

Spain for me

Atletico Madrid to win at home vs Malaga

For the NCFC bet, Redmond to score anytime

Good luck all, especially NWC and Drinks

[ca 1]

Good Luck Pups [:)]

[Katie Borkins 1]

Chelsea to beat West Bromwich please.

Good luck everyone.

[Guest]

[wooster 134]

Good luck NWC, TGD and everyone else.

I''m going to continue my losing ways with:

Arsenal to draw with Man Utd at 5/2; and

a draw for the Norwich game at 23/10.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Here''s a report about the CSF quiz we had two teams in last Friday. It raised over £2,200![:)]

 

http://communitysportsfoundation.org.uk/news/Quizzers_on_the_buzzer_for_charity/

 

 

Here''s me telling Rob Butler that "I watch him on the wireless" ...

 

 

And here''s Mandie telling him something else....

 

What do you PUPs reckon she''s saying to him[:^)]

 

 

[nutty nigel 7,902]

If you preview the pictures look ok. Hopefully Pete will sort them out for us...

It''s not "Oi, Butler, you can do one, ''cos I''m right and you''re wrong!" is it?

(Apologies to Mandie as for all I know she would never point at someone and tell them to ''clear off'' sharpish in any particular direction).

[Yellowfuture 71]

Evening all, nice pictures of the quiz, hope the PUPs triumphed.

Bundesliga for me

Bayern Munich to beat TSG Hoffenheim

For the Norwich bet, I am expecting a big reaction from our guys and a Norwich win.

Maybe a goal from Jonny Howson.

Good luck to the pickers, so near with Purple last week, after that bad luck we deserve the gods to be smiling on us.

[TIL 1010 5,246]

A very good morning to you Nutty and you will be pleased to know that The Lanzarote Lurker has returned. [:D]

Good luck to both NWC and The Great Drinkell together with all you other lovely PUPs out there.

Off to the land of the wooden shoes and a HOME WIN please for FEYENOORD v Dordrecht.

For the Norwich bet how about Howson to score at anytime ?

[jb 0]

A slightly more exotic choice for me this week... and to romania, where CFR Cluj (2nd, 9-2-3, +14gd) should beat CSMS Lasi (2nd bottom, 1-6-7, -12gd).

And for the norwich bet, have a feeling that brighton will come for a point, and will probably get one.

[SwindonCanary 457]

BAYERN MUNICH  Home win against TSG Hoffenheim Norwich bet a home win

[splutcho 196]

As Belgium was kind to me last week, I''m going back for a riskier choice. Standard Liege look to be having a resurgence, having won their last 4 games to nil after a poor start to the season. Their opponents KV Oostende have lost two on the trot to teams in the relegation zone, so at evens I''ll take Liege to win away there.

[Diesel Doris 130]

League 1 again for me:

LEYTON ORIENT v Crewe HOME WIN

Good Luck NWC and all you Lovely PUPs

For the Norwich bet HT draw FT Norwich. Good Luck everyone.

[Mr Apples 1,407]

Hi all, its Switzerland for me this week and an home win for FC Basel vs. FC Aarau (FC Basel home win)

 

For the match bet I''m confident Neeyul win break the losing streak so i''m going for a Norwich win, over 2.5 goals.

 

Good luck everyone!

 

Apples

[PurpleCanary 6,381]

The Czech second tier.Zlin to win at home against Kolin.Zlin are 7th with a  4-2-1 and 12/7 home record, but have won their last two games, including a 3-2 victory against the team in 4th.Kolin are bottom with a 0-2-5 and 4/16 away record and have lost their last six games, conceding 19 and scoring 4.WARNING. There are no William Hill odds as yet, although they should arrive. I will try to check tomorrow teatime to see if they have appeared. If not I will switch to Feyenoord to beat Dordrecht.For the NCFC bet, Howson to score last.

[splutcho 196]

Forgot the Norwich game.

Norwich at HT/Draw at FT is 14/1

or you could reverse and go Brighton/Draw for the same odds.

Very confident that this will finish all square for some reason.

[The Great Drinkell 51]

Thanks for the lovely intro Nutty, I am very much looking forward to my turn at the helm ( I just hope there is a rudder to my ship?)

For my selection this week I think Wycombe were the victims of the new manager effect on Monday night and wont want Luton to get to far ahead of them in the title race. I''ll take them to bounce straight back at Cheltenham.

Cheltenham V Wycombe Away win

keep the match bets coming and I''ll post my choice(s) on Friday night/ Saturday morning.

[Mr Angry 2,017]

I agree with jb and I''m going for a home win for CRJ Cluj.

Good luck to all PUPs and especially NWC.

[NWC 315]

Thanks for the intro Nutty and the good wishes from all you PUP''s.Have got a few "bankers" in the bag already but am now looking for some bigger money picks to get a bigger total for the CSF - BUT would rather have a little money than no money for our worthy cause.Keep picking PUP''s.Will finalise tomorrow afternoon if that''s OK Nutty - unless you need them earlier?Good Luck All, and esp. The Great Drinkell for the NCFC bet.

[DDD In The Fine City 1]

Chelsea to beat the Baggies for me please, not happy about the picture showing the back of my head is losing hair as quick now as the front, good job they didn''t zoom in for the grey ha

[Kathy 823]

Steaua Bucharest to beat Brasov for me please.

For the Norwich bet how about Craig Mackail Smith to score at anytime football being football and all that?

Good luck all.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Anytime tomorrow is fine NWC.

 

For my pick I''m going to join Splutcho in Belgium but a different game. Lokeren are W6 D1 L1 F20 A10 at home and in good form while Westerlo are W2 D2 L4 F11 A23 away and in terrible form.

 

Lokeren                v                Westerlo               Home Win

 

For the Norwich bet I fancy Norwich to win with Grabban on the scoresheet.
