5.

Which, in the context of this week I'm at satisfied (but not pleased) with.

Plus some absolute stinkers in there. Loads of ones you have to guess. No honour to be taken out of getting it right when you have to guess.

Absolutely agree with you Bill, says an excuse-generating, poor-four scoring BOF. And I guessed three of those.

Clearly falling in the "WTF???" category is this question:

In the 2003-4 season, which club failed to score a Premiership goal via a corner until mid-March?

closely followed by:

What is Gordon Strachan's middle name?

I neither knew nor cared about the answers. I give the question setter 4/10 too - must try harder. Maybe it's because it's the end of the week. Let's hope for an improvement on Monday.

Morning QuizFans.

Seems like I'm first up today, just in time to stop the thread disappearing onto page 2 of this forum.

And it's a great start to the week as I breeze with an 8. This was achieved by a combination of lucky guessing and even luckier guessing. And there's no shame in not knowing the answer to this:

Who scored the last of the 16 goals conceded by Liverpool in the 1978-79 season?

I'll give you a clue - the answer is NOT Phil Thompson.

Didn't get the Leeds Cup Final scorer either, which perhaps I should.

So get in there and give it your best shot, but I wouldn't mind betting that you're all gonna be my bitches today.

Not for me, ever. A slightly less than impressive 3 for me. Oh how the mighty are fallen.

Still that should cheer Bill up, at least he won't have the lowest score today.

BTW if you haven't yet, take the time to read the Robbo interview, it just makes you want to have his babies.

i read it, cracking interview, still not sure on the idea of kids yet though, although if i have 3 i could teach them to play different musical instruments, then i could rule the pop world :bigsmile:

BOF on the slide with a pathetic three this morning.

I thought I would have known more about the history of the European Cup. Must have been because there were no questions about Spurs. Ah well, next year...

Off to Spurs Chat now to post this link to a web site with news of old players.

Question 6 could well be wrong today. According to ITV last night, one of their listed answers has just met that mark. The answer they give as correct, according to ITV, is currently on 97 appearances. Also heard the same info on talksport.

By the way, 3 /10 for me (4/10 if no.6 is wrong).
