Oh ****ing...I thought you meant result as in score! I could guessed at the placing.

I will answer the sister thing eventually, but some people won't even have seen the question yet and it'd just annoy them if they come on and know it and find I've already said.

Ermm...let me think...which striker has the record for the most Premier League goals in one season.

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Post-war, only Arsenal haven't been relegated

Everton are second behind them up until a few years ago Coventry had a pretty unenviable record too. Think Arsenal go back 70 odd years, Evreton about 50 or so.

 

[hadareud]

:lol

we also need pics.

I am guessing Henry, or Shearer. No clue.

 

[Ryck]

Im guessing Van Nistelrooy

 

[Mama Smurf]

Sorry, which striker except Shearer, who got the same amount one year. Not Henry.

Post-war, only Arsenal haven't been relegated

*punches air* Yes!

 

[Mama Smurf]

Nope, not Van Nistelrooy either.

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Henry or Shearer. no clue.

Not bad guess for no clue - got to be Shearer if we are talking Premier League. Only person to hit 30+ during his SAS with Chris Sutton.

 

[MrPing1000]

Andy Cole? Dwight Yorke?

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Sorry, which striker except Shearer

Shit! That ****s it up for me! Knowing Mama and his affiliation I'll guess Andy Cole - he had a couple of prolific seasons!

Can't wait for Saturday - St Johnstone are my team - we can get promotion to the SPL if Gretna lose or draw and we win... gonna be a great day regardless!

 

[Izzy]

Andy Cole?

 

[Mama Smurf]

Yes, Andy Cole. Got 34 goals the season before Shearer.

There were an extra 4 games a season back then though.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I've had to look this up myself so don't think I'm some football brainbox, but can you come up with the top 10 all time Premiership goalscorers?

Doesn't have to be in order, though I'll be damn impressed if it is.

I used to watch most Morton home games back when I was living in Scotland. The football was horrible but there was always a great atmosphere in Cappielow.

I remember watching a game against Gretna too.

 

[Izzy]

Hmmm, let me guess:

Shearer
Cole
Sheringham
Wright
Yorke
Fowler
...

 

[gollumsluvslave]

What is the only team in the professional English or Scottish leagues that has that letter 'J' in their name?

 

[Ryck]

Yes, Andy Cole. Got 34 goals the season before Shearer.

There were an extra 4 games a season back then though.

Yikes poor Andy what the hell happened.... he can't much older than 30 ....right?

 

[Mama Smurf]

Hmmm, let me guess:

Shearer
Cole
Sheringham
Wright
Yorke
Fowler
...

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.

 

[Izzy]

Yikes poor Andy what the hell happened.... he can't much older than 30 ....right?

36 IIRC.

 

[hadareud]

I've had to look this up myself so don't think I'm some football brainbox, but can you come up with the top 10 all time Premiership goalscorers?

Doesn't have to be in order, though I'll be damn impressed if it is.

I'll play:

Shearer
Henry
Cole
Wright
Fowler
Nistelrooy
Yorke
Sheringham
Owen

not easy, but my best guess, tried to do it in order too ...

edit: hold on, had Wright twice. That's only nine then. I dunno

 

[Mama Smurf]

What is the only team in the professional English or Scottish leagues that has that letter 'J' in their name?

St. Johnstone?

I'm surprised if there's really only one.

Shearer
Henry
Cole
Wright
Fowler
Nistelrooy
Yorke
Wright
Sheringham
Owen

You have Wright twice, unless you mean Alan Wright, and another is also wrong.

 

[Ryck]

36 IIRC.

Ah ok I was WAY off...:lol

 

[Izzy]

That's 4 to go.

Henry
Van Nistelrooy
...

 

[MrPing1000]

Ok Shearer is top definately.

Then Cole.


after that no idea on order.

so randomly arranged.

Sherringham
Giggs
Van Nistlerooy
Henry
Scholes
Le Tissier? (not sure, awesome player awesome goals, not sure how many though)

Struggling now.

Yorke
Bergkamp?


if I had to order them I'd go

Shearer
Cole
Sherringham
Henry
Van Nistlerooy
Scholes
Giggs
Le Tissier
Yorke
Bergkamp

probably missing some right obvious ones.

 

[hadareud]

You have Wright twice, unless you mean Alan Wright, and another is also wrong.

I had my doubts with Owen.

 

[Mama Smurf]

5 right, MrPing.

 

[MrPing1000]

What is the only team in the professional English or Scottish leagues that has that letter 'J' in their name?

Saint Johnstone. Didn't know they were the only one.

 

[Mama Smurf]

There are only 2 which haven't been covered by at least one of you.

 

[Izzy]

Ok, 2 more:

Owen
Le Tissier

 

[hadareud]

Maybe Les Ferdinand.

Kevin Phillips?

 

[Mama Smurf]

One of those two is right, Izzy.

One of hadareud's too.

 

[Mama Smurf]

The one that's missing is 7th in the list, so you've got guys who've scored less...he's still playing...

 

[hadareud]

Haisselbank?

 

[gollumsluvslave]

can you come up with the top 10 all time Premiership goalscorers?

Doesn't have to be in order, though I'll be damn impressed if it is.

I'll try and give this a go without cheating.

1 - Gotta be Shearer.
2 - Henry
3 - Robbie Fowler
4 - Andy Cole
5 - Michael Owen
6- Wright
7- Sheringham
8- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank
9- ???
10- Gotta be a midfielder there somewahere

Chris Sutton didn't have enough seasons...

Ferdinand? Who else? Solsjaer?

 

[Izzy]

I guess Le Tissier is wrong, and Les Ferdinand is right.

So:

Owen
Cole
Yorke
Ferdinand
RVN
TH
Fowler
Shearer
Sheringham
Wright

 

[MrPing1000]

totally forgot about Ian Wright and Fowler. For shame. Gonna go look at the chart now. I know a nice website full of facts so I'll pose a stupidly hard question.


Which player has been on the bench more times than any other player in the history of the premiership and is NOT a goalkeeper. (the top 48 are all goalkeepers)


If u get that right without looking it up I'll be amazed.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Everyone's been named, quickly, get the right 10!

 

[gollumsluvslave]

I'm surprised if there's really only one.

Unless there has been a recent Conference promotion the yup, my St Johnstone is the only 'J', believe it or not!

Also, St Johnstone are the only Scottish team never to have lost a home European tie... admittedly we haven't played many, but still...

 

[hadareud]

ok:

Shearer
Henry
Cole
Fowler
Sheringham
Ferdinand
Wright
Haisselbank
Yorke
Owen

Bloody hell...ermm....hmmm.

Sheringham?

 

[hadareud]

Must be Duncan Ferguson

 

[Mama Smurf]

ok:

Shearer
Henry
Cole
Fowler
Sheringham
Ferdinand
Wright
Haisselbank
Yorke
Owen

Correct!

 

[hadareud]

yay! in order?

 

[MrPing1000]

Bloody hell...ermm....hmmm.

Sheringham?

nah he's only had 25. The player I want has had 63.

Incidently the top bencher is Steve Harper with 255 games on the bench without playing.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Only Shearer, Fowler and Yorke.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Do you mean games in a row, or overall?

Is he still playing?

 

[hadareud]

Only Shearer, Fowler and Yorke.

Hmm ...

Shearer
Cole
Henry
Fowler
Ferdinand
Haisselbank
Sheringham
Wright
Yorke
Owen

 

[MrPing1000]

Do you mean games in a row, or overall?

Is he still playing?

overall and yes he's still playing.

 

[MrPing1000]

Hmm ...

Shearer
Cole
Henry
Fowler
Ferdinand
Haisselbank
Sheringham
Wright
Yorke
Owen

top 5 right

 

[Mama Smurf]

Fowler?

Hmm ...

Shearer
Cole
Henry
Fowler
Ferdinand
Haisselbank
Sheringham
Wright
Yorke
Owen

Bold = wrong.

Apparently all of quotes are in italics, duh.

 

[hadareud]

then

Sheringham
Haisselbank
Owen
Yorke
Wright

edit: I can't think of anyone else but Ferguson for the bench question.
