Cheers Bill, I actually enjoyed doing the Newcastle one, so thought I would have another bash.

Dalziel, I have seen that link, no forums attached to it though, cheers anyway.

Cheers lads, I'll see what I can come up with.

Not much at the moment. All seem to be part of affiliated football networks. Those I have tried to join have not replied, the official site guides me to supporters clubs with fees to join. With it being Thursday tomorrow will be too late to sort anything out and admit defeat. Have to apologise for this effort and will put my name down for another.

I completed without peeking at previous posts. Looking at 40/ 50%.

Av, I can answer these questions succinctly

Do you think Moyes is getting the best out of the current team? NO

Do you think Moyes has been tactically sound so far this season? NO

Do you think Moyes has made the most of his limited resources in recent season? YES

My opinion, if you want further explanation please feel free to comment.

1- Which actor wrote the book The Outlaw Trail- John Wayne

2- What was pirate Captain Flint's ship called- Jolly Roger

3- Bartolomeo Cristofori invented what- The Piano

6- Name Captain Nemo's pet seal- Flipper

8- The Caspian Java Bali what became extinct in 19th Century was what- A Tiger

10- What does a manometer measure- Pressure of gas

11- Why did the USA govt open Lincolns coffin in 1887 and 1901- To see if it had not been taken by graverobbers looking for organs to sell

16- In which city is the worlds oldest museum - The Ashmolian museum in Oxford

Playing away against one of four teams that we have not won away in 50 games of Moyes' tenure tends to point towards another disappointing result. And I am not going to swerve away from that little statistic. Having said that the law of averages means we have to beat one of them away some time but when have the law of averages had any bearing on football.

Heart- Law of averages- 2-0 to the Blues

Head- Everton's law of averages.- 3-0 to The Gooners

Klinsmann

I know it's a while away but Spurs first two Saturday games in April are both away to aforementioned teams and would love to go. I am based in Dundee, Scotland and managed to get tickets for me and my young lad to the DW last season. Can anyone let me know how Spurs allocation normally sells for these two fixtures . Cheers. COYS.

I can't believe Reina has more clean sheets than James!!!

I see your reply now Bill, sorry about that.

I think its a seasonal thing not an all time jobbie.

correct so far by pete.

 

1-Clean sheets ................. Reina

2-Headed goals ................ Cahill

3-Goal assists ...................

4-Hitting the woodwork ......

5-Fouls conceded............. Davies

6-Penalties saved..............

Bill are we talking in a season or all time premiership.???

Just noticed you reply about seasonal jobbie.

I am answering all time not in a season

1-Clean sheets ..................David James, purely on games played

2-Headed goals ................Alan Shearer but tempted to say Tim Cahill

3-Goal assists ...................Thierry Henry, for the amount of games and the top player he was

4-Hitting the woodwork ........Wayne Rooney, a pure guess

5-Fouls conceded.................Patrick Viera or Duncan Ferguson, as they have joint red cards. Kevin Davies may be a shout though.

6-Penalties saved ..............Mark Crossley, I think I have heard that before.

1.4 Name the player who has scored in the most Premier League games without being on the losing side when they have netted.

Darius Vassell - 46

1.5 Name the only two players to score a hat-trick for the same team in one game in the Premier League.

Robert Pires and Jermaine Pennant – Arsenal 6-1 Southampton

1.6 Which player this season has equalled a Premier League record of three own goals in a single campaign?

John Pantsil

I would never have got Vassell and two players to scores hat-tricks in a 6 goal performance must be unique. However John Pantsil is not in the premier league this year?

I think Richard Dunne has most own goals as well with something like 8.

The two hat-tricks may be Andy Cole and another Man U player when they beat Ipswich 9-0. I'll say Yorke.

Pete may have most correct but I think the red cards are Duncan Ferguson, Patrick Viera and Richard Dunne.
