I think Phil Neville was in all those England squads.

 

[Mama Smurf]

No mama, there are 22, you're still missing one.

I'll give you a clue. I think they are a league one side.

We've named all the League One second names:

City
United
Albion
Town
Alexandra
Rovers
Orient
Forest
Athletic
Vale

 

[psycho_snake]

Hargreaves, McManaman

those two are right. one more left.

Cantona, Batty and I'm stuck.

As a blackburn fan you should get this. I'm quite sure that the player Im thinking of won the league with everton

Campbell?

no

You forgot AFC bournemouth. They're known as bournemouth by most people, but AFC bournemouth is their full name.

Gary Neville then

Still thinking about the 3rd European cup winner

edit: :lol just noticed that I am getting **** all done at work today. That's the way I like it

 

[Mama Smurf]

Isn't there more than one AFC club? I dunno I'd have to check. Pretty dodgy though.

Gary Neville was injured one year, I remember Dany Mills playing instead. Probably 2002.

****, really? A Blackburn guy who won the league with Everton in the mid-80s...he'd have had to be an old Blackburn player by the time we won it...unless he wan't a Blackburn player but is something else to do with the club. Mark Hughes never won it with Everton though, so...

 

[psycho_snake]

Its not gary neville either.

 

[hadareud]

oh, yeah. Completely forgot that. He was out in 2002

He didnt get to play much, but according to wikipedia he's a fan favourite and a cult figure.

 

[hadareud]

is Kevin Keegan the 3rd one? He played for Hamburg right around the time when they won the European cup I think.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Did Gareth Southgate go to 2002?

 

[psycho_snake]

Nope. Think of borussia dortmund

Did Gareth Southgate go to 2002?

yes he did!

Sol could actually be another one. I just checked on wikipedia and he was included in all those squads.

 

[hadareud]

Nope. Think of borussia dortmund

****, what's his name. Scottish, played for Celtic. Lam.. something.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Southgate it is then.

Paul Lambert?

 

[hadareud]

yeah, that's his name.

 

[psycho_snake]

Paul lambert is correct.

You've just got to name the player who won the premiership with blackburn and won the league everton.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I'm racking my brains, going through the Blackburn team who won the title. The only person I can come up with so far who even played for Everton is Mike Newell, but he was after they'd won their titles.

I've done:

Flowers
Given
Le Saux
Hendry
Gale
Atkins
Berg
Ripley
Wilcox
Sherwood
Batty
Shearer
Sutton
Newell

Trying to think who else there was.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Not Gallagher or Kenna either...man I'm gonna run out of squad soon...

 

[Mama Smurf]

Not Robbie Slater....who the hell else played for us that season?!

 

[psycho_snake]

Bobby mimms. It wasnt fair not to tell you. It sounded like you were going to go crazy if you didnt find out.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Oh man, Bobby Mimms!? I wouldn't have remembered Bobby Mimms if you'd asked me to name every Blackburn keeper I could remember ever.

 

[psycho_snake]

Yeah he lost his place to flowers in the 1993/94 season. He became a fringe player after that

 

[Mama Smurf]

Good questions though.

Still don't think Bournemouth should count, I mean if we're counting the AFC as part of the name, we should be counting the FC in msot others teams too, in which case Blackburn's last name isn't Rovers but Club.

 

[hadareud]

I can't find any good questions, let alone come up with them myself.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Ok, here's a good one. Chelsea have lost to 12 different sides (not including penalties...or friendlies for that matter) across all competitions since Mourinho has taken charge...name them.

I'll say how many you've got right or wrong, but I won't tell you which specifically are right, it's harder this way.

Also, for a bonus, which is the one side they've lost to on penalties?

 

[hadareud]

good one, I can't think of 12 though.

Liverpool
Barcelona
Blackburn
Middlesbrough
Spurs
Newcastle


god I suck. for some reason when I think of Chelsea I can only think of lucky wins, not of their defeats.

edit: they lost against Man Utd too I think, a few years ago. That's still only 7 out of 12

 

[Mama Smurf]

Sorry, someone phoned me.

All correct, 5 to go.

 

[CAPCOWNED]

No Crouch from start = doom.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Middlesbrough have signed Woodgate for the bargain price of £7m, or at least they will have officially when the transfer window opens in July.

I'm quite disappointed in the lack of ambition there, but I guess I can't blame him. They are the club he grew up supporting and he's had such a horrible time of things over the years that if he's finally found somewhere he's happy, I can understand him staying.

 

[Cornballer]

That price is a bargain if he can stay injury-free.

 

[hadareud]

I can't think of any more

 

[Mama Smurf]

Alright, here's a hint. 4 of the 5 missing were CL games.

 

[Lakitu]

My girlfriends rubbing it in about Chelsea beating us last night, shiiiite this is painful

 

[Cornballer]

I'm trying to figure it out without looking....

Can't remember too many Champions League games that Chelsea played. Oh wait, did they drop games to Werder Bremen?

 

[Mama Smurf]

My gf doesn't like watching football, yet she plays it better than me and has nutmegged me a few times too many

My girlfriends rubbing it in about Chelsea beating us last night, shiiiite this is painful

Submiiiiiiisive!

 

[Mama Smurf]

Yes, Bremen is one.

So 3 CL teams left, 1 domestic.

 

[hadareud]

Bolton, their first defeat under Mourinho.

 

[Lakitu]

Submiiiiiiisive!

:lol

I am the man in this relationship, I told her straight up.

Liverpool were shite.

 

[hadareud]

I am the man in this relationship, I told her straight up.

I know you're lying. That's exactly what I would say too

 

[Wes]

In the thread "What the hell is it with anumu fans ruining youtube?" I read this reply:

Animu fans aren't bad, its the ****ing soccer hooligans that post 25 different videos of the same thing. Shit litters up the most viewed page.

I know soem of the goals get posted on there a lot (Messi's?) but I rely on youtube to catch the highlights of games I've missed! The mods don't understand our cravings

 

[hadareud]

youtube is a godsend for sports clips, especially football.

Who wants to watch music videos in crappy quality on youtube anyway, the sound ruins it in the first place. I'm a bit of an audiophile.

 

[Cornballer]

But isn't it hard to talk while you're gagged and bound?

j/k

We need to hit 10,000 posts - that will earn us credibility!


Mama - can you give us the countries for the Chelsea champions league losses? I'm clueless at this point...

 

[Mama Smurf]

Nope, not Bolton. They did beat Chelsea since Abromovich took over, but during Ranieri's year.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Ermm....not really. It becomes too obvious then.

There, that's your clue. For two of them anyway, it'd be pretty obvious if you knew the countries.

 

[Wes]

I just looked up the answers on wiki. I would never have got these!

Hmmm. Bayern and Lyon?

 

[Mama Smurf]

Bayern yes, Lyon no.

The domestic one was in the Premiership and the only game they lost that year.

 

[hadareud]

Man City?

 

[psycho_snake]

Manchester City is another team.

Dammit had you beat me to it

 

[hadareud]

I remember the game, but for some reason I thought it was Bolton. So City was the other guess.
