    1. Wayne is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and Gary is
    65 yards away. If Wayne can run at 21mph and Gary can run at 16mph, who
    will be sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless
    whistler's face first, assuming Wayne does not stop to stamp on an
    opponent on his way.

    2. If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and
    one minute for injuries, how much injury time will be added on by the
    referee if Man Utd are losing at home?

    3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of
    internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the
    miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday.

    4. Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How
    many more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua
    Bucharest? (For one extra mark; How many more than Reims?)

    4a. How many more times have Manchester United won the European Cup
    than Nottingham Forest?

    5. Phil Neville has 30 international caps. If you take away the number
    of appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could
    just
    about
    kick the ball with his left foot, how many are left?

    6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender
    does a tumbling Ruud van Nistelrooy have to be to earn a penalty if he
    goes
    down in the box? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest 20
    yards.)

    6a. Probability. Express the statistical probability of visitors to Old
    Trafford being awarded a penalty. Compare this with the probability of
    opponents of Manchester United being awarded a penalty home or away,
    and then discuss if a penalty awarded to Manchester United would be
    awarded to their opponents in identical circumstances.

    7. Mark "The Red" lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him and
    his two sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence every other weekend,
    including limited edition matchday programme, a few drinks and prawn

    sandwiches all round? How much could he save per week if he watched his
    local team instead?

    (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest thousand pounds).

    8. Alex had a hotel room booked in Paris for the Champions League
    Final. How much money did he lose when cancelling his reservation?

    9. Ruud is 6ft tall and very strong and fast. How much pressure need be
    applied to make him tumble over in the opponents penalty area? (Note:
    Answers must be in lbs per square inch. However, answers such as,
    'However much pressure is applied by Ferguson to referees' are
    accepted.)

    10. Alex has won it 1 time, Bob has won it 4. Alex has one, Bob does
    not. What am talking about? Explain your answer (because nobody else
    can).

    11. Rio is a very lazy boy and often goes missing. Alex is very cross
    and wants to sells him. If Rio cost £29m to buy, how much do you think
    Alex sold him for? How many pennies did Alex lose? For an extra mark
    convert
    your
    answer to dollars for explaining to Malcolm "the leprechaun" Glazer.

    12. What is the total number of chickens counted before they were
    hatched by Manchester United and their supporters who thought Benfica
    were a
    pushover

    Should probably be posted on some Liverpool or ABU forum somewhere but anyway.

    Number 10 is a travesty though.
