So you think you know about football?

[bocadillo]

This looks like a recipe for aimless and amiable wrangling. Count me in!

You seem to have got the right idea about it. Please pm me your team name.

 

[bocadillo]

But I couldn't answer any of the sample questions you posted!:icon_redf

You also have the right idea. Put all your opponents off-guard - and then slam them!

 

[bocadillo]

Can i play?

I like the sound of division 2 mid-table mediocrity.

Another one trying to hide his talents! Please pm me your team name.

 

[Doug]

Oh dear.

Bocadillo's recruiting campaign looks like it is going to make the Anorak League a lot more difficult in the seasons to come - especially for such resourced-limited heroic Premier strugglers like Compton Anstey Town, hem hem. And loads more work for Soads!

A bit like bumbling around in the Conference, only to find that the Bundesliga have been dumped into your division.
Only joking, I'm sure the additional competition will have a salutary effect
and make us all leaner and fitter. Time to get those Rothmans off the shelf once more...

For those that don't know - Doug is manager of Compton Anstey Town (a high flying outfit, despite the name). Soady is the question-master; he likes hard work.

 

[Doug]

But not as high-flying as Bocadillo, who, you will not be surpised to learn, is a sort of combined Bayern Munich, Chelsea & Porto of the Anorak Premier League.

Yeah, not a massive shock Doug :icon_lol: :icon_wink

Right - I've registered seven new teams from the TalkingBalls elite:

Regent College Old Boys
Blue and White Heros
joe501's misfits
Zimmer and the Frames
Blue Republic FC
Lboro's Foxes??

and I am still awaiting a team name from Polar Fox.

Any more want to join in? Desert? Willlow? MHS? BG? PDS? I would have thought this kind of thing was right up your streets!!

Please let me know asap because the quizmaster is wanting to get the first set of questions out.

Boc, has it been decided whether Jeff is setting up a forum for questions or e-mail? Just wondering because if the latter, I will pass on info.

 

[bocadillo]

Just added Bacon Rovers to the list. Any more?

 

[Darth Vodka]

.....which is, I suppose, in Asia ...
So why did we play them in the European Cup Winners Cup?

they have Israeli teams in it...

 

[Hazzman]

they have Israeli teams in it...

And Turkish teams, east of Istanbul.

Me? I'm clueless! :icon_razz

 

[beaumontfox]

i'm not very good at quizzes......

 

[Macky]

Me? I'm clueless! :icon_razz

me too DF but that's not put me off, I'm sure I'll get hammered everyweek but it's just a bit of crack.













Boc will probably be on now to reprimand & tell me how deadly serious it is!

I've been in it for years and despite being a mid-table Premier League side for a while am now stuck in Division One. Sounds familiar....

The nearest I came to glory was a cup final against the Boc, with sadly predictable results.

And many of the questions are indeed Ungoogleable (I think I've heard that phrase somewhere before)

 

[MHS]

Yeah why not, I'll give it a go.

 

[bocadillo]

:icon_bigg

It's not deadly serious at all. Every so often a series of 'out-take' answers is compiled to show how unseriously it is taken - particularly when the correct answer is not known.

I'll see if I can find one and post it here.

 

[bocadillo]

Yeah why not, I'll give it a go.

Please pm me your team name.

 

[bocadillo]

No less than 13 TBers have taken up the challlenge and will be receiving their first set of questions tomorrow. Best of luck to all!!

Anybody else who wants to join in has until 12 noon tomorrow (Friday) to pm me their team name.
