Quiz 03 - Get your bishop ready.

[owl sees all]

Nok is disappointed that no one has risen to the challenge.

 

Three very interesting questions this week. But first the answers to last week's 02 Quiz.

 

Q1 - What was special about the 1957/58 season for Manchester City? A little clue. Although finishing fifth in the league; they only scored 4 more goals than they let in.

 

Answer ----- City have been the only top flight club since WW11 to have scored 100 goals in a season, and also let in 100 goals. Grand total 204 goals. Only one in front of their goal-scoring rivals that same season; Leicester City (203).

 

Q2 -  Who was manager of Celtic when they won their 100th major competition?

 

a/ Jock Stein.
b/ Brendan Rodgers ----- correct
c/ Neil Lennon.
d/ Martin O'Neill. 

 

Brendan moved on shortly afterwards to Foxes.

 

Q3 - What club has had most defeats in FA Cup finals?

 

a/ Everton----- correct
b/ Blackburn Rovers
c/ Huddersfield Town
b/ Aston Villa.

 

Losing finalist 8 times

 

Obviously Quiz 02, was too hard. So three very easy ones this week.

 

Q1 - Keeping with Brendan Rogers for the first question. What was his first club as boss?

 

a/ Reading.
b/ Swansea City.
c/ Liverpool.
d/ Watford

 

02 - International flavour this one. In 1966 World Cup, the Uruguay v France game was switched from Wembley to the White City Stadium. Why?

 

a/ A greyhound meeting was on at that time
b/ Waterlogged pitch. The sprinklers had been left on all night by accident
c/ Changing rooms at Wembley had been repainted, and were not ready
d/ Two matches were scheduled for the same day. One was moved to White City due to the admin' error.

 

Q3 - The dreaded draw. Around 26/27% of footy games in England's top-flight are draws. Liverpool were the champs in 1979; but who drew an amazing 23 games from 42 matches in that season? Including 7 on the spin; four of those being successive 1-1s.

 

a/ Arsenal
b/ Bristol City
c/ Norwich City
d/ Carlisle United.

 

It's starting to get a bit serious. There is me using my wit and charm to persuade Nok to entertain a winner over the chess board, and there are no takers.

 

Good luck this week.
