West Ham Online

"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?"

"Good Morning you Happy Hammers. A reasonable performance from WHO quizzers (5.1 average) to match the one by the team against Leeds. Texas Iron

6 ?üòÉ

Some proper old cunts on here (and some clever ones)

"Yeah, I got Vic Watson as well 5 for me"

"Guesses (Hurst, Leeds' song because of View From Opposition forum) got me to... 7 Danny Collins, huh? Nope."

"4 for me. Gutted you only wanted one of the hat trick names because been reading a few West Ham books recently and knew both Hurst and Sissons! Got Vic Watson as well, had either him or Jimmy Ruffell in my head and plumped for the former. Thought 7 was Lee Bowyer and thought Bielsa was called The Beast for some reason., As others have said Danny who?!"

6. Riosleftsock you said nobody would get 1. I guessed it was Watson as he's the only striker j know from that period.

Six. Don't remember Collins at all

4. Danny who?

5 as well. Every time I tried to think which Stoke player we had on loan I kept getting images of bucktoothed Luke Chadwick in my head for some reason

5 Don't remember Danny Collins at all

"Answers 1.

Ditto. How OLD is the average WHOer?? I'm going to kick myself over the Stoke loaned unless genius strikes. Still shuddering we loaned from Stoke. It's never too late to sign Joe Allen!

"I have no idea about 1, 2, or 4. Nobody is getting no. 1 right without cheating. Maximum 5 or 6, and a couple of them are educated guesses."

"Match Day Questions 1.

"Scores from Friday added. Turpinator also gave us a ""glowing"" report on Chernobyl. But I don't think it will be the first place I will visit when out of lockdown! Anyway scores on the doors Texas Iron

8 for me. Been to Chernobyl. Well worth it if in that part of the world

8. That’s more like it

"I heard she personally went out and bought 12,000 copies to get it to the top spot"

"The reason Reet Petite was considered a controversial Christmas No,1 (according to Top of Pops 1986) was that Paul Heaton claimed that right until the day before the final charts were published, Caravan of Love was way ahead but come the announcement from the BBC it was Reet Petite at No.1. He claimed that a run-in he had had with Magret Thatcher had caused pressure to be put on BBC to make sure his song didn't Top the Pops at Christmas,"

6 as suspected

4 for me.
