Recommended Posts

Well, well, well! Another week with Nok waiting for a footy champ to come along to play with her. But not yet!

 

Obviously, the questions are too hard. So this week, we have gone for the easiest three in the data base. But first the answers to last week's quiz 05.

 

Q1 - The first Top Flight league after WW2 (1946/47) saw 22 clubs contest for the title. Eight of those, will play in the EPL during this coming season (2024/25).

 

Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Man Utd, Villa, Wolves. and one other. Who?

 

a/ Man City
b/ Leicester
c/ Newcastle
d/ Brentford ----- correct
e/ Southampton
f/ Brighton

 

Q2 - Since WW2, what EPL clubs have NOT changed their first team colour 'shirts'?

 

a/ Leeds United
b/ Liverpool
c/ Arsenal
d/ Norwich----- correct

 

Q3 - 2008. Sven-Göran Eriksson’s Manchester City had not yet started dominating the EPL.  Last game of the season @ Middlesbrough. The final score - Boro 8 - City 1.

 

Sven said only a few reflective words in front of the cameras after the match. What did he say?

 

a/ "It was embarrassing for everyone." ----- correct
b/ "Even at 5-0, I thought we could still turn it around."
c/ "Not one of our better performances of the season."
d/ "Just a strange result. Didn't reflect the game at all."
e/ "Can't blame the goalkeeper. We only scored 1. Not enough to win the game."

 

Now for this week.

 

Q1 - Early 1930s. A good period for goals; 1930/31. Arsenal won the league scoring 127 goals in the 42 game season. But they were not the league's top scorers that season. Who were?

 

a/ Everton
b/ Huddersfield Town
c/ Aston Villa
d/ Blackburn Rovers

 

Q2 - Keeping with that goal-galore season (1930/31). Who finished bottom, and was relegated; letting in 115 goals?

 

a/ Manchester City
b/ Bolton Wanderers
c/ Grimsby Town
d/ Manchester United

 

What was Alex Ferguson's first win as manager of Manchester United?

 

a/ 4-1 home against Newcastle
b/ 1-2 away at Blackpool
c/ 1-0 home to QPR
d/ 0-2 away at Millwall

 

So there we have it. Three easy peasy, lemon squeezy ones.

 

Good luck to all.
