Just some Sporcle quizzes for you to do if you're bored at work or something.

Naming every player to play for X team since 2010, all the teams are available but just linking a few.

Arsenal
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Everton
Liverpool
Man City
Man Utd
Newcastle
Spurs

 

A small part of me thinks they’re just hiding from the “WHAT SO WE THINK OF TOTTENHAM” chants that even neutrals start at festivals and events around the UK at a regular interval lol

 

Managed to get 96. Somehow forgot some big hitters, most notably Walcott, Gallas, and Xhaka lol

 

This is a good call, actually.

 

130/136. Forgot the likes of Sancho, Matic, Mata. Mostly fringe youth players though.

 

somehow I forgot Varane Smalling and Hendo, along with youth players

 

I spent at least a minute trying to spell Szczesny

 

Polish goalkeepers will get you, I somehow remembered how to spell Kusczcek.

 

Mkhitaryan was my struggle

 

Me and Herzegovina when doing the Sporcle global map quiz.

 

when he joined United I memorized it by repeating “MK hit a Ryan” and that has stuck with me lol

 

I'd call this West Ham - Leicester game a training ground exercise, but that would be an insult to whatever teams actually do on the training ground. Absolute bore fest.

 

Palmer will set the world on fire now that he’s out of my fantasy team just a heads up

 

as someone who considered this and then saw they’re playing Leicester, I recalled some advice I got earlier this week: “don’t bench an attacked against Leicester”

 

I’ve been directly behind and chasing you down for weeks so clearly i’m looking at creative ways to separate our squads and at some point you gotta gamble lol

 

I think I’ve been in 9-11 place all season so I haven’t even gone to look at the table in awhile.

 

I started historically bad, burned my wildcard early and was still terrible, decided to take on like 50 points in transfer penalties once I realized the season was over for me anyway. Have spent the last 3-4 months uphill climbing from last place.

 

a classic forest play I like it

 

Looking forward to the FA Cup this year. Obviously Arsenal are out, which is annoying, but so are Liverpool and Chelsea. That means the only usual trophy-winners left are a terrible United side and a beatable City.

We could see a team that has never won a major trophy get to at least a semi, maybe even a final, like Brighton, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, or Fulham. I’ll be rooting for these teams, as I really think they have a chance to do something special.

 

Brighton welcome any and all prem fans who want to hop on the bandwagon on Sunday.

 

Ya, I'm definitely down for an underdog victory. A City v United final would bore me to tears! Newcastle can't win it either, I guess, cause we'd never hear the end of it re: them going onto being a force under Saudi ownership.

 

We’re still in the FA Cup?!

 

Aston Villa winning it would be personally annoying, but I wouldn’t begrudge them of it.

 

Friday night Football watching Villa trying to unlock a Cardiff low block? Not for me, Clive.

 

Watched the FA Youth Cup match between Arsenal and United. Ref let a United defender handball a goal-ward shot and then stand on a players ankle in the box and gave them both decisions. Suddenly, PL refs don’t look so bad lol.

Good game though. Didn’t realise our team was basically a full year younger on average than theirs but they stood up to them well. Dowman basically ran the game until United realised they could just foul him and not get booked.

Both sides seem to have some great talent coming through. Was impressed with Scanlon & Fletcher for United.
