Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"You're probably confusing them with sunderland. And why not they're basically the same thing. Northern, stripey, stupid accent"

"Tough is better than easy! Was a good quiz MD... Zaza actually flicked into my mind but I was certain he hadn't scored for us. Newcastle bloody hell I was close, but I honestly thought Newcastle had been in Div 3 at some point."

"Didn't mean to make it too tough Tomorrow's won't be so bad (it's a link situation). The only 2 I looked up were the own goal one (I had to go through all the fixtures to see if anyone predated soucek. And the first captain question. I saw the fact a few months back and couldn't remember the name) The whole quiz came about because of the lingard question. At the time I remember an article saying it would be zaza having scored for juventus and then siging for us and it would end as a trivia question. But he never scored.. Its taken 5 years. The Stephen Banks name literally popped in my head from nowhere last week and I knew I had the makings of a quiz. To answer your question West Ham United are one of only eight clubs in existence never to have fallen below the second tier of English football, along with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur."

"Bloody hell that was tough MD!! A mere four for me and thatw as only because I plumped for 399 rather than 499 with Pottsy. Should have remembered Macca but put Kenny Brown and had Sealey, Kouyate, Dawson,Antonio and Hutchison down for 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9! Plus had Stephenson down as the bloke in the Herbie The Hammer Suit!! What was the other Club of the 8? I put 7 - (Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd, Everton, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Spurs)"

"Mad Dog I think question 14 might generate some debate. In the 1900-01 Season, West Ham was a Southern League club. I assume they entered as a professional team, but I am not certain. Division Two was already operating then so West Ham were outside it. All a smoke screen really as I don't know what the other teams are :)"
