nutty nigel 7,778 Posted January 14, 2015 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week twenty four of our Rays Funds season. This week we have one of our top PUPs and previous winner of the final six with Statto28 making the final six selections. Following Cosmic’s great win last week and GMF’s the week before Statto is the right PUP to get us our first ever hat-trick. Statto is consistently in amongst the very top group of PUPs and this season is no exception with him on 18/23 78% winning selections. Statto never misses a week and always signs off by saying “Here''s hoping for both a PUPs and City win” which has become a catch phrase for us all on these threads. Another great effort from this season’s great team of PUPs last week so more of the same will give Statto a real chance of recording that hat-trick win for us. Don’t forget your selection must be from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend and listed on the Bill Hill or Bet365 web site. For the match bet this weekend we have Jas The Barclay King. One of our original PUPs Jas came to our very first presentation but has been awol from our threads for far too long. I’ve managed to get him back to choose the match bets for us so please make him welcome and give him your very best suggestions for City’s match at home to Cardiff on Saturday. Jas will be looking at all your suggestions before choosing some of them, some of his own or a combination of both. Jas, you have £6 to spend so you can choose up to six selections either from the PUPs suggestions or of your own. If you missed the excitement last weekend Cosmic’s great win smashed the season’s CSF total through the £600 barrier. Last season’s £617 was a record and it’s bound to be broken this time. That’s great news for us, the CSF and the disability teams we help. Talking of which we’ve all been invited to meet the DS group and watch them train at Wensum Sports Centre on Saturday 24th January, 10am – 11am. I’ll remind you all again next week with more details and it would be great to see a good turnout. Now I’ll hand this week’s thread over to Statto28 and Jas the Barclay King. 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 Jamie and Jas ... the thread is yours......[:)]...

Feedthewolf 5,479 Posted January 15, 2015 Although they''ve been a little off-colour recently, I fancy PSG (6-3-0 at home) to get back to winning ways when they host Evian (2-0-8 on the road and in the bottom three). They''ve only conceded three goals at home all season, and a win to nil is highly likely – reflected in the odds of 2/11.As for the Norwich game, I think Norwich to win and 4 or more goals at 3/1 is worth a shout. Also, with Howson suspended, I really like the look of Odjidja-Ofoe to score the last goal at 20/1! You''ll get your stake back if he''s not in the squad...

R Mellie 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Off to France this week, and as PSG have already been picked, for a little variety I''ll plump for an AWAY win for Lyon v Lens. Lyon on a good run, and currently sit top, Lens on not such a good run and sit second from bottom.For the Norwich bet - I reckon CR will be rocking along with Alex Neil''s little jig (hopefully anyway) and I can see a solid two nil home win. That would send me home happy anyway.Good luck to all pups, especially statto and jas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trent Canary 0 Posted January 15, 2015 For a bit of value, I think with Aguero and Kompany back that Man City comfortably beat Arsenal.Best of luck all.NCFC - 3-0 home win, with Hooper to score first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted January 15, 2015 Value is always my driving force and although it hurts to do this the tractor boys who have been misfiring in their last two games should be able to plough their way to an away win against a terrible Millwall side and at better than evens money this is the one for me this week.Millwall V 1p5wich away win as for the City bet having seen AN last week I can not see the lads slowing down this week and with the midfield losing Howson I''ll go with Tettey to score at any time.Good luck to the pickers and all you pups.

Duncan Edwards 2,362 Posted January 15, 2015 Again looking for a bit of value, this week I''ve decided that LIVERPOOL at a hint of odds-on (5/6) seem like a reasonable bet to be slightly less crud then Aston Villa.For the Norwich bet how about a ludicrous lump on Cameron Jerome to get a hat-trick against the club at which he made his name? 40/1 with Bet365.

nutty nigel 7,778 Posted January 15, 2015 SPL for me this week Statto. Aberdeen, who won for us last week, have won their last 7 PL games without conceding a goal. I think they should carry on that winning sequence at home to Dundee who only have 1 win in their last 9 : - Aberdeen v Dundee Home Win For Jas I''m going to suggest a Norwich win with Hooper scoring the 1st goal. This combination is 7/1 with Bet365. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
