Title: Tricky Question Post by: Rod Paradise on July 04, 2006, 04:20:02 PM In London Spurs and Arsenal could do it, as could Chelsea and West Ham. Both
Manchester City and United could also do it. Everton and Rangers could do it, but not Liverpool or Celtic. The only British clubs that could do it this season are Man United (who would probably prefer not to) and Arsenal (who have gone closest so far and are desperate to do it). It would take Everton and City the longest of the clubs named to do it. There is only one other British club that could do it. Who are they and what is it? BTW I don't think Arsenal coould do IT this year - but it's arguable..... Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: thetank on July 04, 2006, 04:40:16 PM Rod. ;tk; >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: johnlarsson on July 04, 2006, 06:15:56 PM this is getting me
Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Graham C on July 04, 2006, 09:57:23 PM I'm sure I've heard this before but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. I think it's not what you think it is if you know what I mean.
Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Colchester Kev on July 04, 2006, 11:00:38 PM I think its a wind up, something to get everyone racking their brains, but there is no answer.
Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Rod Paradise on July 05, 2006, 09:33:38 AM I think its a wind up, something to get everyone racking their brains, but there is no answer. It is absolutely genuine Kev. No wind up at all. Clue - trophys won & could win Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Graham C on July 05, 2006, 10:41:56 AM Intertoto and whoever won the fair play league and gets a spot via that - was it Newcastle?
Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Rod Paradise on July 05, 2006, 12:55:47 PM Intertoto and whoever won the fair play league and gets a spot via that - was it Newcastle? Not relevant in this case. Bigger clue - What Can Liverpool and Celtic NOT get that the other teams have? Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Graham C on July 05, 2006, 02:41:11 PM arrrrrgggghhh
bugging the hell out of me now. They can't............something to do with sides of the river? something to do with foriegn managers? dunno, please please please put me out of my misery. You could pm me the answer! Even Tightend hasn't posted in this one :( Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Claw75 on July 05, 2006, 02:44:37 PM Intertoto and whoever won the fair play league and gets a spot via that - was it Newcastle? Not relevant in this case. Bigger clue - What Can Liverpool and Celtic NOT get that the other teams have? I don't even follow football but I'm trying to work this one out! some obsolete trophy? Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: leighton_87 on July 05, 2006, 02:54:32 PM [/quote] some obsolete trophy? [/quote] I thought that but it says Arsenal and Man U could win it this season Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: The Baron on July 05, 2006, 02:55:41 PM Is it Blackburn?
If it is I know the answer I think. Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Graham C on July 05, 2006, 03:02:26 PM What are Arsenal desperate to do?
It can't be winning anything as the other teams are in with a shout too, except in Europe, but Arsenal aren't anymore desperate to win any European Cup than any other side. I guess more importantly, what are Arsenal dying to do that Man U would rather not do? Just thinking out aloud. Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Claw75 on July 05, 2006, 04:04:07 PM some obsolete trophy? [/quote] I thought that but it says Arsenal and Man U could win it this season [/quote] I meant the answer might be to win a various selection of trophies, one of which is now obsolete, hence why Celtic and Liverpool can't make the full collection. Does that make sense? I'm confusing myself! Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Claw75 on July 05, 2006, 04:06:13 PM I've emailed this to a couple of mates. Here's the first guess back:
Newcastle and win the UEFA Cup (after getting kicked out of the Champions League)? Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Claw75 on July 05, 2006, 04:27:57 PM and here's another mate's guess:
Too many "coulds" in thsi riddle to make much sense but as you asked - how about Hearts and win a European final (note I didn't say the European Cup) for the first time? I think this takes care of Man Ud who could end up winning the EUFA cup final (a trophy they have never won) by being knocked out of the European Cup. Everton and City aren't in Europe so will have to wait at least a year and all the other teams are in Europe and could all conceivably win a European trophy they have never previously won apart from Liverpool who as everybody knows have won 5 European cups and 3 EUFA cups! Only problem I can't remember if Celtic have won the EUFA cup (I don't think they have) so I''m not sure why they can't do it - although they were in the Cup winners Cup final recently although why that should be relevant god only knows.. Oh hell, as they are in the EUFA Cup, I'll go for Gretna instead... Of course there mioght be some Welsh or Northern Ireland team I haven't thought of... Jeez, this is worse than work... Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Graham C on July 05, 2006, 04:44:42 PM its UEFA ;)
I'm out of my misery now :D Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: Rod Paradise on July 05, 2006, 04:50:31 PM and here's another mate's guess: Too many "coulds" in thsi riddle to make much sense but as you asked - how about Hearts and win a European final (note I didn't say the European Cup) for the first time?

He was SO close. Then he headed the wrong way..... Another clue, in fact one of the 2 answers required..... Aberdeen are the only other British team who can do IT - they are in the same boat as Everton & Man City in that they would take longest to possibly do it. (I'll pm you the answer if you want - or post it up tomorrow if everyone wants it). Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: The Baron on July 05, 2006, 05:18:03 PM Win the European Cup PLUS another European trophy.
Liverpool and Celtc can't as they have already. Man U can but it would mean winning the Uefa Cup which they don't want to do as it would mean an early CL exit. Arsenal can by winning the Champions League which they almost did last year. Aberdeen have won the CWC and so could do it by winning the Champions League a few years from now. Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: sharpy on July 05, 2006, 05:20:56 PM They are the only British teams that could possibly win all 3 European cup competitions at some point in their history. Due to the Cup-Winners Cup now out of the equation no-one else can possibly do this. It would take Everton and Manchester city longer to do this because The Cup - Winners cup is the only European trophy that they have won so-far. Am I close?

Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: thetank on July 05, 2006, 05:35:04 PM Aberdeen won the CWC and the Super Cup, so technically we've got two already.
Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: matt674 on July 05, 2006, 06:19:09 PM Aberdeen won the CWC and the Super Cup, so technically we've got two already. Is the Super Cup the one that is played annually pre-season between Aberdeen and Loch Lomand institute for the Blind XI? I heard it went to extra time a penalties last year and that Aberdeen were only victorious because there were people in the crowd who starting ringing tiny bells so that the Loch Lomond team couldn't locate the ball on the penalty spot............. Title: Re: Tricky Question Post by: thetank on July 05, 2006, 06:42:26 PM A win is a win is a win. :D
