2.
And that's cos they put a picture of Pogba on there.

Outside of Brighton I really have no interest in Premier League football.

This has only emphasised my Premier League rubbish-ness.

I got 7/20. In fact the timer is still going, but for most of the clubs I can't even guess at any names!

Who, other than [MENTION=5200]Buzzer[/MENTION], can do worse than me?

(You only need to type a surname - if you type one that's correct, it autofills it alongside the club in question)

I got 4 out of 10 (Brighton, Palace, Man U, Spurs) but I even got one of them accidentally. I typed in Sanchez thinking the Arsenal player and it came up with some Spurs player with the same name. I stood no chance though, I've honestly never heard of 13 players on that list.

What do I win?

I got 7/20 but there were three more whose names I put in but failed to spell correctly.

It's not good though - there were a few I'd never heard of

14 was going well with 12/12 but after that the going was a bit more tricky I found only getting spurs, Watford

Ashamed to say I got 7.
Suggests I've been paying too much attention. I even call it 'The Premier League'.

I lost interest after a few minutes and couldn't spell Iziquerdo (still can't, possibly?) – 3.

Since Trevor Francis went from Birmingham to Forest I just put my fingers in my ears and make a humming noise when transfer fees are mentioned. Has the £2 million barrier be broken yet?

Greatness takes many forms and even the meekest among us can stand tall. You Buzzer, win the badge of honesty.

That truly is dreadful. Even I got:

Us
Burnley
Palace
Both Manchester clubs
Watford
And, amazingly, Arsenal - although it took me about 15 attempts to get the spelling right.

I got 6. SIX!

Us, Burnley, Palace, Everton, Man U and Arsenal. Like you spent ages spelling the last one.

I reckon if you're younger / have no kids / spend all day on Sky Sports or FIFA or Football Manager then you'll know loads. Those struggling seem to be the more mature, old school gentlemen with offspring. I may be generalising a little but at the moment I feel the failures group is quite a comfortable place to be. I'm going to test this theory by getting my 10 year old FIFA obsessed son to try it when he gets in. Bet he doesn't get Newcastle.

I wasn't convinced by Man City answer was going to be correct, in fact I was surprised it was!

I went through the whole set of defenders they signed in the summer then gave up on them.

Well my son got 13/20 (he's 10). He DID get Newcastle FFS. He also corrected my spelling of the Arsenal signing and the Chelsea signing.
