    i did this before. I think it's impossible as well. But fun. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,283 ✭✭✭gucci


    Wow I never realised
    Jason Roberts
    was Grenadian

    I have only messed around with it and got 41 in 5 mins, but they are starting to dry up! Maybe il try it next week on one of my days off!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Bah, why did I have to click into this thread?!

    There goes my next half an hour....

    EDIT: Only got 99. Missed some shockers. Lol at Montserratian.

    Good link cheers, the order might all change tonight though :D not that it matters to it,

    Does anybody think the man at number 1 will ever be surpassed? I can't see it happening myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,518 ✭✭✭matrim


    I ended up getting 60. There were about 5 or 6 more where I could picture the person but couldn't remember their names.

    I'm suprised where some people are on the list, e.g. I wouldn't have thought
    Heskey
    would be as high.

    Also as a Villa fan I'm ashamed of a couple of the names I forgot :o

    Q. Can you name the top 200 Premier League goal scorers?

    A. No.

    (That took me a lot less than 20 minutes...)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,733 ✭✭✭bigron2109


    got 130...Missed some terrible ones though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Tried it, got around 50.

    Some of the names :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,793 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    When I did this I got 92. Latvian
    Pahars
    FTW!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,611 ✭✭✭carlop


    got 94, I think I could do better if I was less hungover because at one point my brain just shut down, but some of them I wouldn't have got in 20 hours, let alone 20 minutes.

    As if you need to be coy about who's number 1. Owen and Henry could have done if they'd stayed in England. No one in football at the moment looks like doing it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    I got 47 before i gave up. Only looked at the top ones i missed so will give this another go at some stage.

    I missed some bad ones and but remembered some very odd ones like
    Peter Ndlovu
    and
    Chris Armstrong
    from the 90's.

    That is when the premiership was in its glory :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,141 ✭✭✭G1032


    Tried it. 74. Don't know how I missed some of them.......:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Thank god is dead :D impossible to geet them all in the time, got upwards of 50 after 20 minutes and like above missed some absolutely easy ones :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭bullvine


    got 104, completely forgot about Henry!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭Time Magazine


    Ian Harte

    Lol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner

    Okay here is a good one. Players still playing in the Premiership from time it started. Question came up on Football focus a few years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,476 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    Lol.

    More like, can you name every premier league player ever pretty much.

    93...for now :( I had 50 after 5 minutes then 'slowed down'..

    Quite pleased at some of the obscure ones like
    Fjortoft
    , but it's probably impossible. It won't stop me from trying. Did that many Norwegians play in the league? :eek:

  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    94. Got all the top 30 scorers or so bar

    isn't what it should be ;(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,599 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Got 80/200 in the scorers and 38/43 in the clubs, missed some very obvious ones in the goalscorers one, but then again there was about 20 I've never even heard of!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington

    137 when I ran out of time, I think I'd go close if I had enough time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,092 ✭✭✭Le King


    Got 91 with 5 minutes left. Got bored. Brain needs rest.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,523 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Got 80ish then just had to hit the buton to reveal that bloody Dutch player that had scored more than
    Van Nistelrooy
    and kicked myself at how obvious it was.
    Drogba
    is fairly far down the list considering his reputation as a goal-machine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭Juan Pablo


    Shocking 74. Spent too much time thiking of the randomers. That and I cannot spell Scandi surnames. I get
    Nemeth, Brian Roy and Hamilton Ricard
    yet miss
    Cantona, Di Canio and Beckham
    !

    In fairness, it didn't make much
    deferens
    to your overall score. Even with him removed, the City attack was quite
    impotent
    .
