So to briefly recap, Nutty's analysis of our seasons acheivments was great, I finished 10th, and realise that I can't promoted or relegated from that position no matter what my selection does this week, so in common with the average football club in similair situation nowadays I am using a reserve picker, my pet goldfish "Hucks" in respect to his parting namesake. Hucks has considered seriously and has said "glub glub glub gulp" which all fish enthusiasts know means :- Celtic to beat Hibs this week, they scent success in the league as Rangers will probably wilt under the heavy fixture loading they have, he also blew a bubble afterwards which means it's his NAP selection. Cheers Ray and Nutty this little idea of yours was brilliant, so entertaining and enjoyable. Bless you both     Yes Gentleman Jim I did read your post , nothing gets past me on the Free Bet thread and I understood what you were saying to me . Cheers Gentleman Jim . arrdee.

Looking at the results it appears that ive been a rather terrible picker, even worse considering I try to take time over my picks! I think ill abandon the hunt for higher odds and just look for the best chance, which is what 'nap' really means. Feel free to release me from my contract at the end of the season, freeing up valuable wages to spend on the likes of Blyblybabes and Ricky Knight. This week I shall go for Inter Milan to beat Siena. Inter are chasing the title, Siena are stuck in mid table. Didnt catch who was making the picks, either way best of luck! And thanks again to Arrdee and Nutty. The true heroes of the board for setting up this thread.    Report

Great players come and go, but great fans like you two will be with us forever. I was a bit shocked I was rated at less than 50% strike rate on Nutty's stat sheet. I thought I'd done ok this season, but I suppose all gamblers think they do better than they really do! I would like to know what my % was Nigel, if you would be so kind, so I can look to do better next year - assuming Arrdee uses his sugary sweet tongue and bribes Billy Dixon with some of his finest sausages! Anyway - Nap for the week has to be BAYERN MUNICH away win against Duisberg. No real reasoning behind it, just looks the best bet to me, since my lovely Blue Square Prem has finished. GOOD LUCK PICKERS! Leeds Canary (Young Gun) Arrdee is a legend Leeds and I am just pleased to be a part of this great idea he has made happen Of course you have done ok, in fact you have done more than ok as have all the pickers who post on this thread. I know Arrdee would  be the first to point out that each selection is important. The percentage stats are just a little fun between ourselves.  But wasn't it your Aldershot selection that was part of Fellas winning week? That's more than ok in my book Your stats are 11 correct from 24 selections - 45.8% You are on a winning run of 2 and you have had 4 winning weeks out of your last 6.

Morning all, despite the shoddy way I've been treated this week I can't let you pickers down so here's my choice. Lyon vs AS Nancy - HOME WIN. Lyon haven't been in great form recently but will fancy their chances against a Nancy side who have only one twice away from home all season. Lyon have only lost one home game all season and need to continue this run with Bordeaux breating down their necks and having a relatively easy home game against Sochaux. Thanks to Ray for all his hard work getting this thread up and running and to Billy Dixon for his generosity in giving us our £10 bet each week. Cheers also to Nutty for working out all the stats last week. I'm pleased that I, erm...er.....I mean that nice chap Shack, have got over 50% correct. Now has my left testicle made his pick yet "The ball is round. The game lasts ninety minutes. This much is fact. Everything else is pure theory."    Report

Before my nap, I'd like to add my thanks to arrdee and NN for their work on the Free Bet. Any ideas yet on the possibility of doing something for the Euro Champs? 7 from 11 so far, heres hoping for 8 from 12. Looked at the Prem and the play offs, couldn't make a choice. In the end I'm going for the FA Trophy Final and Torquay to triumph over Ebbsfleet. Haven't looked at the form too closely, I just feel Torquay will want to salvage something after their play off defeat to Exeter last weekend. Good luck all and thanks once again arrdee. On the days to call, which we have left behind.    Report

My nap this week is Lowestoft to beat Kirkham & Wesham in the FA Vase Final at Wembley, the Trawlerboys have done a great job getting there and the backing of 10,000 fans and wellwishers should go a long way to spuring them onto victory.   I also wanted to say well done to Arrdee, NN and all the pickers who have helped the acadamy this season, I am long time reader on this forum and regret not getting involved in it sooner but hope to get the chance next season. Until then lets hope we can end the season on a high with a winning selection, good luck. "If only I could find the time I want to kill" - Beginning of The Twist - The Futureheads    Report

Yes you lovely old Pickers you have done Devon proud and "Devon" being proud is one thing I don't want to talk about , I think all you lovely old pickers know what I mean , It is a constant battle for me to try and get "Devon" focused on football rather than women . I know I don't have to explain "Devon" with a thong over his head , also some hot tottie licking chocolate off his naked body . This is I am afraid dreadful . This is what I have had to endure to bring you the Free Bet I suppose , I do hope he is going to calm down next season , If I can bring you the Free Bet next season that is , I just know "Devon" is going to replace me with an inflatable doll . arrdee.
