nutty nigel 7,531 Posted December 3, 2014 Welcome PUPs toweek eighteen of our Rays Funds season. This week we have our youngest PUPTwidio in charge and making the final selections. I’ve been looking forward toTwidio’s week ever since he was robbed last time where he had one of theunluckiest 5/6s. It must have been about the only game Real Madrid failed toscore in last season as their 0-0 draw put us down. Now this is young Ryan’sthird season picking and his record of 70% correct picks puts mine to shame. AmI smarter than a 10 year old? Obviously not! This is a special week for Ryan asit’s his birthday on Friday when he picks the final six. So lets all find himsome great birthday presents with our very best selection from the games playedon Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend and listed on the William Hill or Bet365 website. Inchy’s brilliant 4th win took this years funds to animpressive £392. Over £400 before Christmas would be a marvellous effort by yougreat team of PUPs so fingers crossed for Ryan this week. For the match bet this week wehave another of our original PUPs with Archant’s top man Sports Desk Pete makingthe final selections. Pete’s not having the best season this time with his mainpicks but I think he’s just the right man to add to our pot from this matchbet. We’ve already won £152 from the Norwich bets this season and we can allhelp Pete to add to that with some great suggestions for our match at Wigan onSaturday. We have £6 to spend Pete, soyou can choose up to six selections either from the PUPs suggestions or of yourown. I’ve got another CSF linkfor you this week. This one is very pertinent to us as the disability sportsteams is the area that our money goes to. This one is about the Downs Syndrome footballteam having an away day at Derby : - http://www.communitysportsfoundation.org.uk/news/Norwich_City_DS_team_enjoy_away_day/ That’s it fromme so I’ll hand this week’s thread over to Twidio and Sports Desk Pete.Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best tohelp you to success. We all stand together with the single aim of raising moneyfor the Community Sports Foundation. Good luck allyou PUPs... Take it away Ryan and Pete ... the thread is yours.......[:)].........

nutty nigel 7,531 Posted December 4, 2014 Man Citeh are hitting top form and scoring goals with Aguero looking the best player in the league right now. Everton aren''t so good this season and are currently in the bottom half having only won once in their last five. So I''m going for : - Manchester City v Everton Home Win For the Norwich bet I''m going to remain positive. A City win with Hooper to score anytime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
