Re: Relegation XI
60 - I spent a long time trying to recall "Butterfield" on the grounds I knew I was going to get two points for it but thought they were both "something beginning with "L"".
I had 5 minutes of trying to spell Jukewicz only to eventually look it up.
I spent a long time wondering who got 10 in 28 without ever solving the conundrum.
Notable "misses" included Petrov and Eidur...

Ha! I did the same thing with the Juke. Your 10 in 28 included a hat trick if it helps!Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:20 pm60 - I spent a long time trying to recall "Butterfield" on the grounds I knew I was going to get two points for it but thought they were both "something beginning with "L"".

I got the 10 in 28, when I looked at the answers.

Re: Relegation XI
I enjoyed having a go at this, 62 I managed.
Missed Lowe out - as Parky perhaps should have done for most of the season
Any more quizzes would be great DSB
And I know i've not posted in about 9 years, became a bit of a lurker

Re: Relegation XI
I got 65. Missed half the current squad which says a lot about my interest levels this season. Enjoyed the quiz though - cheers dsb

Re: Relegation XI
There are some more quizzes on there as well - every home goal scorer at the Reebok macaron unibol being one I think. But yeah, more quizzes please!

No problem - started a separate thread (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26951) rather than hijacking Branagan's fine idea.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:13 pmThere are some more quizzes on there as well - every home goal scorer at the Reebok macaron unibol being one I think.

Speaking of which, I've just noticed that Joe Williams has now played more times for us than Keith Andrews did. That'd be the Andrews given, after we'd been relegated, a three-year £25kpw contract (source: Guardian), ie a commitment of nearly £4m.

If we get through this, you'd like to think that if we could learn any lessons from what's happened, then there ^ is a good place to start.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:33 pm

Re: Relegation XI
To be fair to Andrews, he was given the contract, it's our fault. Don't get me started on That Summer - Zat Knight re-signed, etc.
He won't have cost us quite that much in the end because he spent most of the contract farmed out on loan: we couldn't afford him so we tried to get others to pay at least a slice of him. And he was very happy to go out on loan, he wanted to play not just to sit collecting his wages.

Re: Relegation XI
Oh aye. Totally our fault. A player with an average record at best, who Blackburn fans told us was best avoided. He had looked OK in a very poor Irish side at the Euros that summer which led to a scramble for his services.
