Heart goes out to ManUTactician247 and jackripper who have both answered every round but still sit bottom especially when someone like acidmonkey comes in, answers 2 rounds of questions and jumps above them

[HotChocolate]

Michelle Amaro (acidmonkey) - You nearly answered every question correct, just a shame you didn't put Melanie.

Fabregas (I can’t put a stupid answer here, it disappoints me) (Flamers) – What’s the odds that Flamers checked the answer before he put it so he could put the wrong one?

Fire-spitting Snails FC (Pangaea) - Awesome team!

My favorite of the week goes to a double answer from hrbfcrule:

2. As if I watch **** like that (hrbfcrule)
4. See answer to number 2 (hrbfcrule)

[hursty2]

That's not me.

Shocking round this week.

[HotChocolate]

1. Who is currently top of German Bundesliga as of today (Tuesday 28^th February)?

2. Who are Ferraris two drivers for the upcoming Formula 1 season?

3. Name the 4 goal scorers in this year’s Carling Cup final.

4. Name 5 landlocked countries. (Do you all know what is meant by landlocked?)

5. LA Galaxy signed Landon Donovan from which club?

6. Who is the CEO of Facebook?

7. Which two teams have won the A-League twice?

8. Eden Gardens is a stadium used for which sport?
Bonus point for correctly naming the country it is in:

9. Who is the all-time leading goal scorer of the Spanish top tier?

10. Name the 4 colours that Google use in their logo.

Bonus Question: In acidmonkey’s career thread AS Roma paid how much compensation to Borrusia Dortmund for him?

*The title is reference to the PM I got from Pangaea for the last round, he put Round 5ish as the PM title

[HotChocolate]

That's not me.

Shocking round this week.

You both start with h, that's my excuse.

I even put hrbfcrule in brackets

[hrbfcrule]

Questions look a lot better for me this week

[rancer890]

Thought I would be able to do the previous round this morning but guess not. Sent this one in already though.

[Deisler26]

Gutted at not getting a point for Pablo Barrera. As an ice-hockey fan, we all know the GWG is the one that gives them the lead permanently!

[Deisler26]

I also like the fact that only three people have had perfect rounds so far.

[ManUTactician247]

Thanks for the consolation I guess...

[AK22]

Answers sent. Should do better this week

[HotChocolate]

Sorry I just realized that acidmonkey got 10 points this week, not 11.

Changed the league table.

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

Quite happy with 8 points. Suprised at Iniesta only having 1 more cap than Fabregas though, though he would have loads more.

Looks a so-so round for me this week. Gutted about the Google question though seeing as I'm fecking colourblind

Wow, apologies for that. Maybe I could give you a different question?

[SnakeXe]

Sent, might well be my first ever perfect score! Doubt it though somehow

[Pangaea]

Suprised at Iniesta only having 1 more cap than Fabregas though, though he would have loads more.

Same here, thought Iniesta had craploads more than him, as up to quite recently my impression is that Fabregas has mostly been used as a sub. Either I'm dead wrong, or he has been subbed on an awful lot. But at least I got that one right

In my understanding the winning goal is when a team win a match with one goal, and the guy scoring the goal turning from a draw to a win is the winning goal guy. With 4-2 there isn't a winning goal. If pressed it would be the guy that put them ahead, but that feels wrong when they score more goals afterwards. It would mean that if a team win a match 9-0, the guy that put them ahead scored the winning goal. It just reeks of wrongness IMO.

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

Wow, apologies for that. Maybe I could give you a different question?

No it's fine. I've taken a stab in the dark. Already emailed the answers

[jackripper]

were bottom for a reason!!! Were bottom for a Reason.

[Flamers]

Sent my answers in, several I knew so answered correctly. One is ambiguous

Yeah it's a difficult one to word. You'd say the 4th Mexican goal was the "clincher" because it gives them a 2-goal cushion, but you wouldn't really say either was the "winner". If pushed I'd have to say the final goal is the winner in that particular scoreline, but then in a 5-0, the 5th goal isn't the winner. None of them are really.

[HotChocolate]

You could also say that the first two goals were the winners because without them they wouldn't have won the game. I only realized all this after I had set the questions though and thought it was only fair to remove it.

[SRL88]

I think I have got 8 or 9. Questions 7, 8 & 9 are complete guesses for me.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Answers sent, will check back in on my return from holiday.

Not so many funny answers last week.

I'd say enjoy, but seen as I'm jealous I'll be spiteful as well

On the plus side, I've got the very unrealistic SSX waiting for me, so ever cloud...

People are losing the touch with the comedy

[SnakeXe]

My comedy answers are being shamefully overlooked tbf, my answer to question 2 in the last round was excellent.

[HotChocolate]

I didn't know the person in the first answer and I didn't get your 2nd answer. Just a difference in sense of humor

[HotChocolate]

Now we've had **** ups in the past but this is the biggest so far and I will be making no excuses (even though there will be one someone )

TWalsh was given 3 points by me for Round 6 when he has pointed out he should have 8 points. -Changed.

[deltablue]

Shall I tell him or shall I leave that to someone else?

[HotChocolate]

Shall I tell him or shall I leave that to someone else?

He pointed it out to me.

I looked back at his answers 'correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct' why did I only give 3 points?

[deltablue]

I was refering to this

[HotChocolate]

I was refering to this

I'm confused because that whats I thought you were referring to?

[deltablue]

(even though there will be one someone )

And I thought I was being kind not directly pointing that out. 'one somewhere' presumably.

[HotChocolate]

And I thought I was being kind not directly pointing that out. 'one somewhere' presumably.

My typos are become more and more frequent.

Damn spending hours using codes and creating Flash Games. Yet again, I wont change it, I ran out of tippex and my rubber just makes the word smudgy.

[SnakeXe]

Marco Boogers?! He's quite famously rubbish! Showing my age here

And the second answer is the tagline from Alien vs Predator.

[HotChocolate]

I did look him up but I was to young to ever know him as 'famously rubbish'.

Never seen Alien vs Preadator

Did you go for Whoever wins... We lose. If so I quite like that Definitely deserved a mention

[SnakeXe]

Did you go for Whoever wins... We lose. If so I quite like that Definitely deserved a mention

Precisely

[Raware]

Sent mine...although I'm starting to sound like Pangaea. I titled my email round 6 when it's round 7. Clearly I can't count past 6!

[HotChocolate]

Well I do apologize SnakeXe but seen as I've never seen the film I think you can understand why I didn't even consider it

[HotChocolate]

Now I don't want to accuse anyone of cheating but I've just marked 4 set of answers (in a row) and they all had the exact same answers

To say I'm spooked is an understatement!

[Flamers]

Who has been cheating?

[HotChocolate]

Who has been cheating?

Ooooooh I couldn't say

No, in all seriousness I don't believe they are cheating it was just a really freaky coincidence!

[Flamers]

I doubt that someone got identical answers to me

[HotChocolate]

I doubt that someone got identical answers to me

It was 4 people, in a row, the chances of that happening were very slim but yes the chances of someone getting identical answers to you is even slimmer

[HotChocolate]

These people still haven't handed in their answers yet:

• roganp
• SnakeXe
• Deisler26
• iHeadHunta x
• Lenzar
• ssestig
• Makonnen
• DazRTaylor
• Scribe
• Nottingham Forest
• kris0710
• malikoi

[Flamers]

You need to think up more questions I don't know, I can't answer humorously if I know it

[HotChocolate]

You need to think up more questions I don't know, I can't answer humorously if I know it

My heart bleeds for you.

[SnakeXe]

You sure about mine? Sent them on Tuesday. Will forward them again.

Edit: Might be because I called them Round 5ish? Sent them again anyway!

[hrbfcrule]

You need to think up more questions I don't know, I can't answer humorously if I know it

I think you're just too clever Flamers, it's just too difficult to think up questions you don't know the answers to

[HotChocolate]

Edit: Might be because I called them Round 5ish? Sent them again anyway!

I thought it was odd you'd not sent them in.

And nope, not got them first time round. Got them now though

[jackripper]

im cheating so if anyone wants to score 0 let me no and il tell you the answers..the wrong ones at that

[Nobby_McDonald]

I'd say enjoy, but seen as I'm jealous I'll be spiteful as well

I did enjoy. Lots of snow.

B.W.G takes a 10 point lead at the top but there is still so many points to gain that anyone can win it. Well anyone with 32 plus points can, but if you're not near the top I wouldn't get your hopes up

[SnakeXe]

Thought I should have had 12 but then realised I only gave you four landlocked countries for some inexplicable reason. I could bloody well name 10!

Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Belarus.

[HotChocolate]

Crocodile Dundee United (acidmonkey) - A great suggestion of a football team down under.

5 Euros and a packet of Pringles, sour cream and onion flavour (Nobby) - That would suit me down for compensation if I was a chairman.

Extreme Chess (MattSpurs94) - Do they have stadiums for that? Or is it just old peoples homes?

Fred, Pete, Andy and Brian, and wasn't that their parents job? (deltablue) - I'm sure to score goals is the players jobs and not the parents jobs. You were wrong anyway.

Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary (like me right now...) (Flamers) - You always want something, this time it was food.

Ugly, Ugly 2.0, Cardiff Player, Cardiff Player (hursty2) - Bit harsh on Skrtl and Kuyt. Did I say harsh? I mean kind.

I send this email using gmail, not cheating - I swear. Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. (hursty2) - You're lucky, I gave you the point anyway cheater.

Mark "I spit and jizz and dump a really massive one all over your privacy rights" Zuckerberg. (Pangaea) Sure that's not his middle name but still.

Competitive apple eating. Quite certain it must be in Norway, most likely in Hell (Pangaea) - Some people really do try their hardest for the comedy answers, but it worked!

[HotChocolate]

Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Belarus.

I checked all the countries then thought, eh? Hang on a minute he's only put 4 down. Well that's wrong.

There are so many words to describe how you're feeling right now, but gutted must be up their

[HotChocolate]

1. Ricoh Arena is home to which football team?

2. The video game 'SSX' has just been released but which company developed the game?

3. Halmstad BK's away shirt is what color?

4. 'A life too short' was written by who?

5. Juventus have won the UEFA Cup (currently the Euorpa League) how many times?

6. What is the capital of Finland?

7. Name the last 3 runners up of the FIFA World Cup.

8. Justin Bieber was born in which country?

9. Who is this happy fella?

10. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are staring in which upcoming film?

Bonus Question: In AK22's career thread, in the 2019/2020 he was in charge at Fulham but who was his top goalscorer in that scorer?

*The bonus question was chosen at random between the people who got 12 points.
*Oh and I can only apologize for question 8, got to be fair to everyone no matter what their music taste.

[Flamers]

I believe I got 5, I named 4 penalty scorers. You didn't specify it couldn't be penalties

[HotChocolate]

I believe I got 5, I named 4 penalty scorers. You didn't specify it couldn't be penalties

The penalties aren't classed as goals as it doesn't effect the scoreline (it is separately put as a different scoreline) and I also said 'the 4 goal scorers' which signifies the 4 goals scored in normal time, there was more than 4 penalties scored.

[SnakeXe]

Think I should get a bonus point for my answer to question 7 this week

[Flamers]

It affects who wins! I class them as goals

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

Happy with 11 pts. Quite a few guesses look to have paid off. This doesn't look a good week for me, no idea for a few of them.

[arinceo]

I know I'm a few rounds late, but could I still enter this?

HC! Check your PM's!

[HotChocolate]

Okay a VERY late entry by Deisler26, I'll let him off the hook this once though.

He scored 10 points. (Again, let me know if it's wrong )

[ManUTactician247]

6 points! A new record! I'm so proud of myself

[rancer890]

Guessed most of my answered and got 7 correct.

[AK22]

Grrrrreat week for me

Although I have a horrible feeling that I may have peaked too soon, judging by this week's answers!!

[Pangaea]

At least a handful of comedy answers this week as I have no clue about them. Ironically I (think I) know the answer to number 8

[Flamers]

I know number 8 I feel ashamed and proud at the same time

[HotChocolate]

I will name and shame anyone who gets number 8 correct.

[Flamers]

Shot gun! :d

[HotChocolate]

Shot gun! :d

It's ironic you say that because trying to get to college this morning I was stopped halfway, some man had a gun and there was armed police everywhere.

What a lovely way to start the day

[Flamers]

You clearly live somewhere very nice I live in the country with even more guns than the city >D

[HotChocolate]

I live in Sheffield as you know but on the outskirts so have to make my way into the City, which obviously means going through all the rough areas

[Flamers]

So you live in a slum on the side of a hill That is at least the impressive I get when I go there

[HotChocolate]

I live in a nice little area on the outskirts of Sheffield, so yes a slum on the side of a hill

Although there are a lot of hills in Sheffield, annoying for us bikers

[Flamers]

Your telling me :| the Uni is on a fecking hill... (my ex goes there)

[deltablue]

It seems to be the case with smallish city unis. Exeter (my old one) is a pretty tough (we even have what's known as 'cardiac hill') one, even the first bit of the climb from St Davids station is steep. Reading (was there on an open day once) seems to be at the top rather than on it, and Canterbury (my home city) is a bit of a slope as well, thankfully at school we ran down it a lot more than up it, and the uni isn't that far up.

[Pangaea]

[SnakeXe]

Oh we weren't just posting Maiden vids? Never mind...

Bath Uni is at the top of a massive hill as well. There's often radically different weather there to in town as well, once it was sunny and dry outside my house and there was 3 inches of snow when I got to campus. True story.

[HotChocolate]

Huddersfield Uni is in the middle of the town and seems to be as level as everywhere else.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Some good songs posted there.

7 points, best for me for a while, and an answer in the comedy section. Result.

[Nobby_McDonald]

I've probably sent in as many witty answers as right ones.

[jackripper]

Your telling me :| the Uni is on a fecking hill... (my ex goes there)

Still Stalking her are we lol

[Flamers]

Nope, we still get on really well. We had our reasons to break up and we both agreed it was a good idea

[HotChocolate]

Wait, what. How did Flamers did get a girlfriend?

[Flamers]

I have had plenty hessian sacks work quite well though

[HotChocolate]

I have had plenty hessian sacks work quite well though

[SnakeXe]

Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?

Oh how could you?

[HotChocolate]

Skip forward to 47 seconds, 0:47. Absolutely weeing myself.

[SnakeXe]

I love Ace Ventura

[HotChocolate]

I've only ever seen clips but this has to be the funniest I've seen, 2nd is the Rhino birth

[Flamers]

I like to feel I can lower the tone
