No cheating, now!

[Theatre of Trees]

Coventry City

 

[Austrian Gull]

Coventry City

Correct! Well. that lasted a long time...

Terrible statistic, though, coupled with the mess the club are currently in.

I'll try one more:

Which English league club is the only side to have played Man Utd under Alex Ferguson's management and remain undefeated?

I knew it would be a shit team who got lucky and probably only played them once, having checked it was indeed a very crap team

I'll leave it for someone who actually knows rather than has to look it up to answer

Coventry City

I imagine they also hold some sort of record for the team who was in the relegation zone for the longest during those years. Survived relegation on the last couple of days of the season for what seemed like decades when they were at the top level

York City?

 

[Austrian Gull]

York City?

No, I've just checked. York won a League Cup first leg but United won the second leg in 1995.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

No, I've just checked. York won a League Cup first leg but United won the second leg in 1995.

York won on aggregate but as you said lost the second leg.

I am sure the team is Southend, if I remember rightly the goal that beat them was pretty good too.

Well done. Southend it was.

I will now let somebody else set a more testing question!
