    185 out of 220 for me. Missed some really obvious ones. Decent way to pass 20 minutes though!

    Hmm need a coffee to wake me up, had some serious mind blanks. 124/220

    Couldn't for the life of me remember Tiote's name which bogged me down for a while. And whenever I was looking for new spaces to fill I kept picturing Grant Hanley's ugly head but new I would never remember his name.

    Some of the spelling caught me out as well. Szczesny, Hoilett, even Riise (I spelt it Risse) and Whelan (for some reason I went for Whealan) I didn't get for this reason.

    Liverpool was the only team I completed and WBA was my worst team - only got 2

    I did that yesterday - got to 217 with 2 1/2 mins to go, and couldn't for the life of me get the last 3, who turned out to be Saha, Lowe and Taarabt. Spelling threw me for some time too.

    Spelling was a killer for me too, got to around 140 and gave up.

    Might try it this afternoon and pass it on to a few buddies.

    A mere 127. There was a time, before I discovered the wonders of booze and women, when I would have got about 95% of a game like that.

    My, and most my friends, knowledge of random football ****e hit its peak at about 14/15 I'm afraid.

    Also some of the spelling is impossible. I had to look up wikipedia to get the proper spelling of Chesney, the Arsenal goalie. What a ridiculous name to try and spell.

    Got 152.

    This was obviously put up earlier in the season as there is no Cisse for Newcastle, Jelavic for Everton, and so on.

    It is a very addictive website, though.

    It says on it that the players included are those who have made the most appearances for that club over the course of a season.

    One thing it does make me aware of is that I can't spell at all.
