nutty nigel 7,509 Posted November 26, 2014 Welcome PUPs toweek seventeen of our Rays Funds season. This week we have a real Rays Fundslegend in the hot seat with our great friend Inchy in charge and making thefinal selections. Inchy is of course a past champion of our league and isalways right up there year in year out so it’s no surprise to see him with12/15 80% this season. He’s also won on three previous occasions when selectingthe final six. And of course he’s a a top man who is always supportive to usall on these threads. Bernie’s one of the many people I’ve met through thiscommunity and I’m proud to call him a friend. Even with Inchy’s great record hestill needs this great team of PUPs to be on top form if he’s to achieve afourth win. So lets all find him our very best selection from the games playedon Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend and listed on the William Hill or Bet365 website. We really have all been on top form for the last 6 weeks with fours 5/6sand two 6/6. Those 5/6’s have earned us two free weeks so they do contribute inthe long run. I really do think this year’s team is top drawer. Following The Great Drinkell’sgreat success last week for the match bet this week we have another of ouroriginal PUPs with DDD making the final selections. Ben is another friend I’vemade through these threads and I look forward to his company after each matchwhen we meet up in The Nelson. Ben was also part of our awesome teams from theCSF quiz a couple of weeks ago. And I can tell you that the CSF reallyappreciated him being there that night. We’ve been really successful with thematch bet this season so lets all try and help Ben add to that with some greatsuggestions for our match against Reading on Saturday. We have £6 to spend Ben, so you can choose up to sixselections either from the PUPs suggestions or of your own. At the footballclub AGM last night I was proud to see how much the club and supporters valuethe CSF our charity partners. I can tell you that the club appreciate us PUPstoo and the contribution you make. We watched a video narrated by Stephen Fry aboutthis partnership and the work done in the community by the CSF. I don’t thinkit’s available on line yet but as soon as I find it I will post the link. Ifanyone finds it first please post it on our thread. One link I can post is thespectacular way The Great Drinkell’s match bet earned the CSF £30 last week. I don''t think I''ll ever tire of watching it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkkd7l5dJI8&list=UUzdkZv6--BWsUQ9rKUtQ1TQ Now I’ll handthis week’s thread over to Inchy and DDD. Remember there’s no pressure becausewe are all going to be doing our best to help you to success. We all standtogether with the single aim of raising money for the Community Sports Foundation. Good luck allyou PUPs... Take it away Bernie and Ben ... the thread is yours.......[:)]........

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted November 27, 2014 League one for me this week and Crewe who are struggling to get any consistency and find them self bottom of the table, will struggle against an improving Doncaster side who started slowly due to injuries are starting to get some form and at odds against may just be the value bet of the weekend.Crewe V Doncaster Away win.As for the Norwich bet I''ll take a correct score of 2-0 this week as I think MP will be looking to tighten up the back a little.Good luck Inchy and DDD.

jb 0 Posted November 27, 2014 off to Greece (for the first time, I think...) - PAOK to beat Panththrakikos - Top vs 2nd bottom, home win.Jerome and Hooper to both score.Good luck PUPs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted November 27, 2014 League 1 for me. MK Dons to beat Colchester please.For the Norwich bet, Redmond to score at any time. He is due a goal.....Good luck everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster 134 Posted November 27, 2014 This week''s pick-to-avoid is:Southampton to draw at home to Man City at 12/5.For the Norwich game, 2-0 home win at 15/2.Good luck everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted November 27, 2014 To Österreich!Admira Wacker are second from bottom with a terrible home record (1-4-3, scoring just five goals in the process). Sturm Graz, on the other hand, are in fourth position with an enviable away record (4-2-2). Sturm Graz lost narrowly (2-1) to champions-elect Red Bull Salzburg in their last game, while Admira took a 4-0 pounding at mid-table Austria Vienna. All the form here points to an away win, and with generous-looking odds of 6/5 this looks a good-value pick to sit alongside some shorter-odds ''bankers''.

Trent Canary 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Apologies it has been selected, but PAOK to beat Panthrakikos in Greece looked the best out there this week. PAOK are 4/1/1 at home, Panthrakikos are 0/1/5 away. PAOK have won all 6 league games between the two since Panthrakikos were promoted.Best of luck all.NCFC bet.. I fancy a 1-1 draw.

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted November 27, 2014 Nice to see young ''nana back[Y] I''m going to endorse his selection and go for a win for our beloved team. Norwich City v Reading Home Win And for the match bet Gary Hooper looked fit, sharp and up for it when he came on to score last weekend. I think he should have earned a start so I''m going for Norwich to win coupled with Hooper first goal which is 7/1 with Bet365. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
