Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 17

[nutty nigel 7,506]

Welcome PUPs to

week seventeen of our Rays Funds season. This week we have a real Rays Funds

legend in the hot seat with our great friend Inchy in charge and making the

final selections. Inchy is of course a past champion of our league and is

always right up there year in year out so it’s no surprise to see him with

12/15 80% this season. He’s also won on three previous occasions when selecting

the final six. And of course he’s a a top man who is always supportive to us

all on these threads. Bernie’s one of the many people I’ve met through this

community and I’m proud to call him a friend. Even with Inchy’s great record he

still needs this great team of PUPs to be on top form if he’s to achieve a

fourth win. So lets all find him our very best selection from the games played

on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend and listed on the William Hill or Bet365 web

site. We really have all been on top form for the last 6 weeks with fours 5/6s

and two 6/6. Those 5/6’s have earned us two free weeks so they do contribute in

the long run. I really do think this year’s team is top drawer.

 

 

Following The Great Drinkell’s

great success last week for the match bet this week we have another of our

original PUPs with DDD making the final selections. Ben is another friend I’ve

made through these threads and I look forward to his company after each match

when we meet up in The Nelson. Ben was also part of our awesome teams from the

CSF quiz a couple of weeks ago. And I can tell you that the CSF really

appreciated him being there that night. We’ve been really successful with the

match bet this season so lets all try and help Ben add to that with some great

suggestions for our match against Reading on Saturday. We have £6 to spend Ben, so you can choose up to six

selections either from the PUPs suggestions or of your own.

 

 

At the football

club AGM last night I was proud to see how much the club and supporters value

the CSF our charity partners. I can tell you that the club appreciate us PUPs

too and the contribution you make. We watched a video narrated by Stephen Fry about

this partnership and the work done in the community by the CSF. I don’t think

it’s available on line yet but as soon as I find it I will post the link. If

anyone finds it first please post it on our thread. One link I can post is the

spectacular way The Great Drinkell’s match bet earned the CSF £30 last week. I don''t think I''ll ever tire of watching it.

Now I’ll hand

this week’s thread over to Inchy and DDD. 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

you PUPs... Take it away Bernie and Ben ... the thread is yours.......[:)]........

Chelsea to beat Sunderland

[Herman 9,691]

Off to Hungary where,MTK should beat the awful Pecsi. Hopefully.Good luck to all PUPS[Y]

[Mr Angry 1,542]

I''m going for a home win for Legia Warsaw against Cracovia Krakow. Warsaw are top and Krakow are 12th, Warsaw have never been beaten at home by Krakow. The odds are 2/5.

Good luck as always to all PUPs and especially to Inchy.

[AJ 1,218]

I''m going to take a punt on league one and go for Yeovil vs Preston away win.

For Norwich bet surely it''s Redmond to score any time, and make the same for Hooper.

Good luck all

[Kathy 733]

Scottish Cup for me this week please. Queen of the South to beat non league Brora. Good luck Inchy.

For the Norwich game I managed to stop Mackail-Smith scoring last Saturday so I''m going to do it again by forecasting Robson-Kanu to score at any time.

And as I stood DDD up at the roller coaster in Blackpool I''ll duplicate his final selections with a tenner on Paddy Power.

[twidio 39]

Juventus

V

Torino- home win[:D]

[DDD In The Fine City 1]

For my pick this week I''m going to the Scottish cup with

Queen of the South to beat Brora Albion

As for the norwich bet I shall be back nearer the weekend with the final selections

[DDD In The Fine City 1]

Sorry Brora Rangers not Albion, I''ve not heard of them either

[SwindonCanary 455]

I''ll go for PSG Home win against NiceNorwich bet WIN !

[TIL 1010 4,717]

A very good evening to you Nutty also good luck to both Inchy and DDD not forgetting of course all you other lovely PUPs out there.

Off to France and a HOME WIN please for PSG v Nice.

For the Norwich bet how about Hooper to score the last goal at 5/1 ?

[Guest]

Thanks for the great introduction Eddie was nice to read coming in from a long and late finishing day. As ever I will give each and every selection the scrutiny they deserve before finalising my selections on Friday evening and also promise to givevthiscgreatvthread of ours my best shot. Good luck and thanks in advance to all this week''s pup''s.

[The Great Drinkell 50]

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]

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!

[lake district canary 4,530]

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.

[wooster 134]

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.

[Feedthewolf 4,844]

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]

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.

[ca 1]

Man Utd to beat Hull for me this week please.

For the Norwich bet I think it will be 2-0 with Jerome to score the first goal

Good Luck to all you lovely pups

[I am a Banana (All Grown Up) 0]

Norwich City vs Reading.Home Win.

Hooper to score 2 for the Norwich bet.Add a 3-1 Scoreline if youre feeling super lucky!!

[Yellowfuture 71]

Evening all PUPs

Off to Spain for me, Primera Liga.

Athletico Madrid to beat Deportivo La Coruna. 11.00 Kick off Sunday.

Norwich bet, Hooper to score anytime.

All the best to the Pickers.

[nutty nigel 7,506]

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.

You speak for yourself.  [:''(]

[NWC 238]

Serie A please Juventus to beat Torino. Juve are flying high at the top of the league and scoring goals - Torino aren''t!As for the NCFC bet - over 2.5 goals in the game

Good luck all, especially the pickers!!!

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219]

Sending out some love to Tio and my man Diogo...

...hope he can forgive me for

Academica v Benfica away win, obbrigado......

Parma

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219]

For Norwich, suspect the newly-slimmed and motivated Hooper will get his chance to show what he can do....

Suspect he''ll score....

Parma

Good luck Inchy...

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219]

Feel DDD will do well...

I base this on the fact that I am addicted to Triple D on some random, obscure food channel.....

Shut the front door......that is out of bounds...

Nice job....

Parma

[Hissing Sid 154]

Just returned from a trip to Madrid where I saw Atletico destroy Olympiakos in the Champs Lge, and I''m sticking with them as my pick this week

Atletico Madrid (3rd 8-2-2 GD +11) v Deportivo La Coruna (3rd bottom, 2-4-6 GD -9) - Home Win

For the NCFC bet, a return to winning ways. Norwich to win both halves.

Best of luck Inchy, DDD, and all you PUPs.

[Guest]

Great picks so far so looking forward to what else pops up on here tomorrow.

[chellecity 0]

Another vote for...

Atletico Madrid to win at home vs Deportivo La Coruna

And for the match bet, Redmond to get on the scoresheet anytime.

Good luck everyone, especially Inchy and DDD
