nutty nigel 7,528 Posted January 28, 2015 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week twenty six of our Rays Funds season. This week we have another real star with Hector Brockelbank in charge and making the final six selections. Hector’s having a really successful season this time with 20/25 80% correct selections. Even better than his first season last year where he achieved 30/38 79%. Now that’s consistent picking! Hector’s also got his name on Ray’s signature due to his win in the match bet last season. It wasn’t easy to win at that last year so the those who did deserve great credit. Hector will need your help to add to the pot and get his name on the first part of Rays signature. Don’t forget your picks must be played on Sat/Sun/Mon this weekend and be listed on the William Hill or Bet 365 web sites. For the match bet this weekend we have my old buddy and top PUP Lappinitup making the selections. Mick has been a great supporter on these threads since the very first week and I’m really pleased he’s having such a fantastic season this time where he’s our most profitable PUP because his 25 £1 selections have made £7.72 profit. He’s already has his name on Rays signature for his win in the final six a couple of seasons ago so please give him your very best suggestions for City’s match away to Birmingham on Saturday and help him get on the match bet part too. Lapp, you have £6 to spend so you can choose up to six selections either from the PUPs suggestions or those of your own. Feedthewolf’s win in the match bet last weekend took our total for this season to £673 which is a tremendous achievement. It was great to get another win directly after going to the Wensum Centre to see the DS team train. Our money from last season will pay for their fixture against Northampton next Saturday and pay for them all to watch the City match against Blackpool later that day. I really enjoyed the experience on Saturday morning, they are a great bunch to be around and their enthusiasm and enjoyment is a real pleasure to see. Thanks to all who came and here’s a picture from the day : - Now I’ll hand this week’s thread over to Hector Brockelbank and Lappinitup. 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 Oliver and Mick ... the thread is yours....... As always I leave you with Ray’s signature which now reads :- Carve their names with pride.Yankee,5,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork,2, Inch High,4, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim,2, Norfolkchance1,2, Scooby,3, Trent Canary,2, Cosmic Twin,3, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary,2, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo,2, Mr Bump, Kathy,2, Til1010, Snake-eyes, Vindo,2, NWC, Hughesy, Gregt, GMF,2, SwindonCanary, Twidio, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £752 for the Community Sports Foundation.

nutty nigel 7,528 Posted January 29, 2015 France for me this week. Marseille are W10 D0 L1 F25 A8 at home while Evian are W2 D0 L9 F11 A25 away. Marseille v Evian Home Win For the match bet the first and second half records are interesting. Birmingham are F20 A14 in the first half of games while in the second half they are F11 A25. Norwich are the opposite F17 A18 in their first halves but F33 A16 in the second. This suggests that HT/FT could be Draw/Norwich @ 9/2 or Birmingham/Norwich @ 22/1.

Duncan Edwards 2,231 Posted January 29, 2015 Going away again where I hope that SWINDON can profit from Sheffield United''s midweek exertions and our lads on loan can carry them to a win. At 17/10 it''s risky but I think it represents reasonable value.For the Norwich bet, I''m expecting a reaction and think a win is well within our compass. We should have beaten them at Carrow Road and I reckon we can run out fairly comfortable 3-1 winners. Good luck everyone, especially Hector and Lapps.

splutcho 173 Posted January 30, 2015 The odds I like best this week are Ipswich to beat Wigan at home at 4/5. Before anyone judges me, betting on the scum eases the pain of losing if it goes wrong, because at least they lost too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
