DazMarz · 25-02-2014 8:23pm

Bosnia and Herzegovina

. Jaysus...

He would have been quite young (19/20) at the time so if he was there he probably hadn't played enough games anyway.

Got 37/39. Missed

Ecuador (Antonio Valencia) and Liberia (knew it was Wreh but couldn't think of which country)

Schwiiing · 25-02-2014 8:56pm

Mutu

I thought he did too, but he was

released from his contract with Chelsea in October 2004 following failing a drug test.

Morzadec · 25-02-2014 9:05pm

I think that's the answer, but it's a stupid answer. It is derived from a totally different name :rolleyes:

Morzadec · 26-02-2014 8:43am

I'm not sure what the answer is il have to sk the guy. I agree that it's a **** answer if they include cristiano

The other 3 were the ones I got

Kolido · 30-05-2014 9:15am

In English top flight, who scored a hat-trick against 3 different keepers in the same game?

asdfgh86 · 30-05-2014 10:38am

Apologies if this has been asked before:

What player is a Premier League runner-up, a Community Shield runner-up, a Champions League runner-up, a League Cup runner-up and an FA Cup runner-up, without winning one?

Alvin Martin for West Ham. Think they beat Newcastle 8-1 that day

Kolido · 30-05-2014 1:39pm

Correct

roanoke · 30-05-2014 2:42pm

Name something all these clubs had in common :

Arsenal
Chelsea
Coventry City
Derby County
Everton
Liverpool
Luton Town
Manchester United
Norwich City
Nottingham Forest
Oxford United
Queens Park Rangers
Sheffield Wednesday
Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur
West Ham United
Wimbledon

Hint : It's vaguely topical this week.

MonkeyTennis · 30-05-2014 2:48pm

Lost a final in extra time?

roanoke · 30-05-2014 2:58pm

Possibly, but that's not the answer I'm looking for.

Hint: The commonality is exclusive to this list.

Note : There's a consideration that some other clubs should be on the list (eg Crystal Palace, Leeds, Man City, Blackburn) but I think that's too much of a 'what if' and I probably don't agree with it at present. However if one wants to consider those clubs as 'part of this list' also then that may also help you solve it.

Kolido · 30-05-2014 3:02pm

Anything to do with national team captains at the world cup?

roanoke · 30-05-2014 3:03pm

No, nothing to do with international teams. Purely a club related question.

8-10 · 30-05-2014 3:04pm

Did they all qualify for Europe but weren't allowed to compete?

roanoke · 30-05-2014 3:07pm

Correct! They all missed out on European football because of ban resulting from the Heysel Stadium disaster.

I focused on what Luton, Norwich and Oxford united had in common as they seemed to be the most obscure and figured it had something to do with the League Cup wins in the 80's

Nice question!

I don't think the league cup winners qualified for Europe back then?

What colour did the ROI originally play in as first choice?

Al Capwned · 31-05-2014 11:49am

Blue?

Kolido · 31-05-2014 12:15pm

I would imagine it's always been green if you mean from the 50s onwards when they became known as ROI

Yeah, correct. Green, white and Orange been associated with Ireland is only a fairly recent introduction. If you notice the Presidents flag its Blue.

Ireland played in Royal Blue at the 1924 Olympics - Great story.

As Kolido said, that would have been the Irish Free State not the ROI.

Actually you are right just remembered that NI played as Ireland for years after the split.
