[Football] NSC Football Quiz League

[Lindfield23]

Just interested here. What's the first FA Cup FInal you and [MENTION=34973]Lindfield23[/MENTION] remember ?

Vaguely remember bits of West Ham - Liverpool from 2006 although that might just have been from news bulletins and the like, watched the following year's one (Man Utd - Chelsea) in full

 

[Lindfield23]

Congratulations [MENTION=34973]Lindfield23[/MENTION] - nothing I could have done, the better team won.

All the best for the Final [emoji106]

If there's a second "season" of this, I would love to participate, it's been brilliant fun.

Cheers Frutos - I have to hold my hands up and say I got lucky with a fair few punts there (especially the Gary Lineker and 1982 World Cup ones) - commiserations, but also congrats for finishing top of the league

Both answers were accepted. Everyone said 1997 although one offered both.

1997 was the year of the lowest finish then 1998 equalled it. I realised the question could have been worded better.

Who are you supporting in the final ?

Ooh. Interesting questions.

Q1 I’m definitely good for - maybe all 24 if you want them!

The 1978 one is a bugger. 1982 would be much, much easier, as I had the sticker book!

The Man City starting line up will take a while but i’ll Be annoyed if I don’t get all that.

The other two will need a lot of thought.

Bring it on

Could be a high scoring final. But, aside of the views of us in the quiz, this thread has had a few thousand other spectators.

So a lot will be viewing the final.

Going to have a go at this myself to see how I fare. Good questions.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Many thanks for the nice messages. Although I'm used to working in capacities where I have to please everyone and despite my efforts nothing I do will ever be good enough. So feel free to have a good old whine as well. It makes me feel more valued !

On a more serious note, I think little competitions like this are good for folk's well-being. It's friendly camaraderie. I live on my own now and apart from working from home (a job that I may be losing soon because of the virus) this kind of thing gives me something to look forward to each day. So thanks to everyone for committing to the series. I've really been enjoying it. In the next couple of days we move to the BUSINESS END.

Only just found this thread .
It’s one of the most worthwhile I’ve ever seen on NSC.
Im not too sad I didn’t enter as I would have been bottom of the table.
well done Brighton Lines

If anybody reading the thread wants to have a go at the finalists questions in thread #526, I'm happy to score their attempts.

You have till tomorrow evening to do it but no looking online. The questions are based on trust.

Would be interesting to see how many the two finalists get correct - rather than just number of goals scored.

Answers in. Great set of questions.

I’ve been semi obsessed with the cup since watching The English Game on Netflix.

Happy to publish that.

Although it would take longer to collate.

That said, I've got **** all else to do this weekend.
