Those that have been answered correctly and by whom.

 

Would just like to say you will have to be more specific with your answers, if its a nocturnal Parrot, the answer "a bird" is not good enough, similarly "musical instruments" is not specific enough, that could mean anything from a penny whistle to a grand piano.

8 is Arsenal.

 

 

Arsenal were relegated in 1912/1913 from Division One along with Notts County.

 

After WW1 they were 'voted' in, although it is thought that money changed hands. Arsenal had finished 5th the season before the war broke out, both Barnsley and Wolves had finished above them.

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 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.
