[Grombleton]

Away from doing me good, maybe I'm to defensive at home.

Daylight Robbery. I should have presumed as much from the name

Gotta get my play-off spot back now...thankfully home advantage might help.

 

[Barham's tash]

[kevo]

I think I might know more from a different section!

 

[Easy 10]

FAIRLY confident on those Withdean answers. Had to get the old pen & paper out for the promtion/relegation seasons.

[edit] Nicknames was a gimmee.

 

[kevo]

Nicknames looks like the shrewd pick here, there’s a 5/5 in there for everyone. Premier League is the pig of the round, I wouldn’t be sure of more than two of those.

Yeah, was thinking the same. Damn.

 

[Eeyore]

Jesus, that line-up is about as attractive as a horse in a bikini. Thank god I must have been out that weekend.

If this lockdown continues, those bikini wearing nags better have fast legs then. I'd take nay football.

Edit: What a perfect typo.

 

[Taybha]

Lost 5-4! "Quite remarkable".
Sake.

You was robbed, I had absolutely no idea on Q1 so Palace was a random, and the Barnsley one I actually answered Chelsea but changed my mind at the last moment, my sincere apologies

Nicknames would be the pick, except if you’re up against someone else who chose it - going to be a full points draw, methinks.

 

[jessiejames]

Glad I picked internationals 70/80, think I done pretty well on it, just 1 guess. I would have struggled on the others apart from Nicknames as I think I got 4 of them correct.

All of my answers would have been guessed

 

[kevo]

I thought it could be a good one to go for but avoided it just in case Brighton Lines threw in some overseas curveballs. Knowing the nicknames of the English 91 is one thing, but I couldn’t risk going into battle on foreign clubs armed with only ‘Los Blancos’ and ‘The Old Lady’.

Wasn't really thinking straight. Thought nicknames could refer to anything eg player nicknames. If it had been 'Club nicknames' I would defo have gone for it. Still, I'm now confident of the answers for my section - the only ptoblem is my opponent has chosen, you guessed it, nicknames. I predict the first 5-5 draw.

 

[Eeyore]

There may be a few draws in this round....

 

[Eeyore]

The interesting part here is that the Premier League seems no longer fresh in folk's minds.

I reckon if we had been Championship then there would have been more knowledge. There's something about being upstairs, it's as if we want to be there because we should really. But it's more about where we finish than enjoying the football itself. I much preferred the Championship.

 

[Taybha]

I'd like to change my mind now BoB

 

[Frutos]

Happy with my category, and happy with my answers.
