A nice candle-lit supper with Nok could be possible for any member getting all the footy questions correct; any week. And an exciting, but relaxing, game of chess after the grub. I'll have a word with her. See if she is game for a game.

 

From now, to the start of the EPL, I'll put up some weekly footy questions. And anyone getting them right; any week,, well,, brush up on yer chess gambits. But no Googling now. Only if yer give up.

 

So let's kick off with three easy-peasee, lemon-squeezee ones.

 

1 - These two teams met each other, home and away, in the top flight. 19 goals in the two games. A 8-4 and a 3-4. Clue;;; both teams playing in the EPL this year. What clubs?

 

2 - What did Cameron Brannagan (ex-Liverpool) do in the game Gillingham v Oxford United on 20th January 2022. Result 2-7.
 
a/ Scored 2 own goals for Oxford, and two for Gills
b/ Scored 4 goals from 4 penalties
c/ Hat-trick in first 7 minutes
d/ Scored 6 goals; all in second half.

 

3- Alex Ferguson went to Man Utd in 1986, and suffered a loss in his first game as boss. What club beat his lads?

 

a/ Swindon Town
b/ Northampton Town
c/ Carlisle United
d/ Oxford United.

 

That's it for the opener. Answers, and three more riveting questions next week.

 

Thanks for playing. Nok!! Stop stroking that bishop.

Wow!! Close.

 

Not quite good enough to push your pawn Champs.

 

Pompey 7 - Reading 4. A record score for the EPL. 10 goals has been hit 5 times. No! Not a quiz question. Could have been though. Gunners, United and Spurs each involved in two matches. And Reading too if the 11 score is counted.

 

Baggies 5 - United 5

Spurs 6 - Reading 4

Gunners 7 - Toon 3

United 8 - Gunners 2

Spurs 9 - Wigan 1

 

 

I've got too many pigeons hanging around my house already.

I know the answer to this Chippy.

 

I saw him play in London 30+ years ago. The match progamme, highlighted his career. I kept the programme for many years. And what a career. Played lots of times for England.

 

A gifted player for sure.

Clash of thinking. Peter liked 'craft'. Big Ron liked 'crash'.

TBH, I can't recall him playing for United. Maybe I don't know the answer after all.

I am sure I know this too. He played for Bolton for a while, never played for Utd's 1st team though.

Wow Beardsley...... but according to wikipedia he didn't make a first team appearance for United.

 

So we need this League Cup appearance confirmed.

I bet @ChipButtywas there, stood on the Stretford End.

I don't doubt it..... The question mark is whether Beardsley was on the pitch. 

I was under the impression both him and David Platt were with us but never made a first team appearance.
