Tiresias Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/11/players-injured-in-the-warm-up "I recall years ago reading that Newcastle United had taken delivery of a load of black and white traffic cones, to be used for training purposes," begins Tim Grey. "The article stated that the traditional orangey-red and white cones (so beloved of generations of drunken blokes all over the nation. And Alan Partridge) were considered too close to Sunderland's colours and therefore an affront to the Toon's players. Was this, as I suspect may have been the case, just a piece of marketing puff generated for the short-lived football magazine I subscribed to at the time? Or did Newcastle actually train with these cones? Are there any other instances of clubs having equipment specially made in non-traditional colours, so as to avoid any affiliation with their local rivals' kit? Rangers not playing on green grass perhaps?" Is this true? Seems daft to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymc1 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Good night at the quiz at the Hotspur. Really, really difficult at times like but done ok in finishing 5th (I think) out of 14 teams. Some of the stuff shouldn't be known but one of our lads helped out massively. He got the Portsmouth link to Sherlock Holmes as he used to live there and had heard one of the locals mention it.

mattypnufc Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Glad you gents enjoyed it. I normally just design the posters, but the picture round was my doing this month and actually managed to get along to it for a change. Tried to make it as fine a line between hard and easy...everyone did surprisingly well. Some of the questions are rediculous though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Ashley Young - what a kernt! “It (diving) has been talked about (with Moyes), yes,” Young said. “It’s been talked about obviously, by the previous manager and the current manager, but that’s in house. I’m not going to comment on what’s been said. “But I think it’s one to ask the referees - they are the ones who are giving free-kicks and penalties.

Guest Roger Kint Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Imagine seeing that front cover and buying it. Yesterdays was worse. Full page of that Tulisa bint and 'shocking photos' but no mention of the Mandela thing or any real news. An old bloke in the queue at the garage in front of me just said 'how in the world is this shit news?'

Also, which England international got 62 caps, making his international debut in 1989 before retiring at the end of Euro 1996? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 We had a phenomenal final round. Only ones we didn't get were the two captains for the 1992 European Cup final. Definitely what won it for us. I was going to put Mancini but SOMEONE wasn't keen, although he did say Gigi Riva for Italy's all time top scorer!
