[Football] NSC Football Quiz League

[kevo]

Decent round for me I think/hope.

Pretty sure my Football Manager experience has pulled one out of the hat for me that I'd otherwise have been very unlikely to get barring a lucky guess.

Two tough fixtures though, these are good sides and we'll do well to come away with some positive results.

Absolute pig of a round for me! Only 2 I am certain of.

Answers submitted. I enjoyed that round. I had to think carefully about a couple but I think I got there.

6x confident answers
1x educated guess on Q5 - there are a couple of teams I know are doing well in League 2 although I can’t be sure my pick is top
3x complete guesses on Q4, Q9 and Q10

I checked my League 2 answer, after sending off my answers, and I’m not happy. I think that one might need to go to VAR.

Wow, I’ve just checked too and I had no idea that was the size of the gap! Looks like luck was on my side as I picked the right answer. I had the right two teams it was between, although I didn’t realise third place was also very much in the race.

It’s not just the SIZEof the gap. The ones I went for have a game in hand, so I’d maintain they are TOP ‘morally’. If the season ended tomorrow who would get the title?

Respectfully, how is my score 4 in the cup and 5 in the league? (I think 5 is correct!)

Question 10 in the cup was a tie-breaker only and was only used if the two players were tied after 9. In the league it counted as a full question.

 

[Frutos]

Two 7-6 wins...the fans certainly do get value for money with my lot.

 

[Frutos]

At least the winners of the Cup replay have got a glamour game to look forward to in the next round.

 

[Eeyore]

Round Nine.... It's all about coming second.

1) Who finished second behind Leicester City in the Premier League in 2016 ?
2) Who finished second behind Manchester United in the first rant Premier league season of 92/93 ?
3) Who were the runners up at Euro 2004 ?
4) Who is second in the 2019/20 Premier League goal scorer’s chart ? (I appreciate this is a long time ago)
5) Two England players are second behind Peter Shilton in the table of goalkeeper’s caps with 75 each. David Seaman is one, who is the other ?

What a cracking value for money match up on the fens.

Very relieved to get my first point on the board!

Four wins, one draw.

I'm interested in what [MENTION=28934]AmexRuislip[/MENTION] put for the Crawley question to see if I need to beat myself with a large stick for changing my answer at the last minute.
