Answers in.

A mixed bag of nailed on correct answers (I think), educated-ish guesses and a couple of utter stabs in the dark.

As usual, a perfectly pitched set of questions - thank you [MENTION=29192]Brighton Lines[/MENTION] and good luck to [MENTION=34973]Lindfield23[/MENTION] [emoji106]

Answers in. I’ve gone for the player I can remember picking up lots of yellows as I can’t remember many reds for anyone that season. I’m feeling good about my play-off performance, I’m confident in around 15 of my answers having thought them through. Only the 2010 cup opponent is a complete write off. Of course, I could very easily lose as HKFC obviously knows his stuff but if I do I’ll be going out with a very respectable score. The cup round wasn’t quite as hard as I imagined when I first read it this morning, but I’d be surprised if I’ve got more than four or five. So it’s still advantage Taybha there as far as I’m concerned.

I had to write out a list of all the last 20 seasons, with who the manager(s) were and were we finished - as far as I could remember. I’ve only written out my answers to the Amex ones so far, and still stalling on two - Q1 (have ruled out about 15, and left with a couple of strong guesses - leaning towards Coventry at the minute) and the Calde face one. Not sending answers in just yet as I’m convinced that one will come to me.

Will look at the Withdean ones now...

Can I ask a quick question. How is disciplinary record worked out? Is there a formula for reds and yellows being worth a certain amount of points?

You may have looked it up by now, but it's worked out on most cards. There are two answers that are being accepted.

Ooh. Maybe not Coventry. Maybe the Peterborough game with the Harley free kick?

Two players have so far booked their final places.

The Wembley hotels have a lot of vacancies at the moment.

Got my Withdean answers now. Pretty confident of most, although a bit perturbed that I have the same club, as the answer to two of them, which seems a bit unlikely.

The ‘last win at Withdean’ one is bugging me. I know Who we sealed promotion against, but can’t remember if we won any after that

It’s possible I’ve taken this a little TOO seriously, as a result of having absolutely NOTHING else to be doing!

Wow. I kind of feel I owe my opponent an apology. 5 answers were either / or choices, and I plumped for all 5 right. The one wrong answer was one that I incorrectly thought was a tap-in (CMS as top scorer).

Mad

For me, 1981. I was 10, and it was the first one I saw, as before that I was living in the Middle East, and it wasn’t shown on our (mostly American ) TV.

 

[Taybha]

Blimey Q3 Q8 & Q10 were punts but I thought I had 5 bankers so hard luck to The Badger and here's to a jolly good final with plenty of Frank Worthington questions incorporated with Brighton managers.

Looking forward to hearing the Welsh national Anthem sung at Wembley
