for no.9 did you mean to say name one of the six men or you want us to name all of them? Good quiz will enter as soon as i know that.

In.  Answered question 9 like you wanted one of the six players not all six.  Nice quiz Horsey. ty

Thanks

Yep sorry one of the six apologies

good quiz but as there are a few i dont know any answer for i will  have to pass this week

Fantastic quiz John, thanks.

I'll have to miss it I'm afraid, as I could not even begin to guess some of the answers, & I'd be sorely tempted to use google, & that's not in the spirit.

Goood luck, & I'm sure it will go well.

Many Thanks

In, hopefully do a win.

Thanks for all entries in so far

TEN MINUTES TO REVEAL....


Some interesting answers, some great ones and the usual comedy element supplied by one regular :)

I am not entirely confident with the scoring system or that anybody is around but begin we will...

QUESTION ONE

(https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608001076788789568&pid=15.1&P=0)

1. Give the name of a player who has received a card (yellow or red) in the group stages of this World Cup?

Two Passes here to start, the remaining seven all scored the maximum number with different players (all correct) apart from Rubbish and Ant who doubled up on Drogba




Scores

Everyone else = -5
Rubbish and Ant = -2
Arbboy 0
Cheapwetsuit 0

QUESTION TWO = Name one of the top 15 visited sports related websites by Americans? (source ebizmba.com) as of July 2014.

Few similar opinions here

Three people agreed on ESPN.COM and were right, three people also agreed on BLEACHERREPORT.COM (what?) and were right.

Surpisingly to me anyway Nfl.com was not right, the best answer was Sportsillustrated.com which was hit on twice.

Scores = WRONG

DUNGBEETLE PGA TOUR.COM -9
CHEAPWETSUIT AND ANT -9 (NFL.COM)

DH + RUBBISH SI.COM -2
KMAC,SCOTTY AND WILL ESPN.COM -3
ARBBOY,TIGHTEND, RINSWUN -3



Scores after round two

Arbboy -3
Rubbish -4
Dh -7
Tightend -8, rinswun -8 kmac -8 scotty -8 will -8
Cheapwetsuit -9
Ant -11
dungbeetle -14

QUESTION THREE According to whoscored.com name a player in the top 15 of the pass completion statistics for the Premier League last season?

Bit of a turn up here one pass, EIGHT people wrong (barry proving popular but wrong) and the best wrong answer being Stephen Henderson from quiz legend Ant.

Well done to Dung and mr cheapwetsuit for Yaya Toure.

SCORES AFTER ROUND 3

Rinswun = -8
cheapwetsuit =-11
arbboy = -12
rubbish =-13
dungbeetle = -16, dh = -16
tightend =-17, rinswun = -17, kmac = -17, scotty =-17 and will =-17
ant = -20

Have a feeling the Leon Britton was one - saw a stat that he had a better pass completion than Xavi a couple of years back. Wasn't sure if he still started games for Seansea though.

cant remember my answers for some of these!

I wasn't the only one to both see and remember that then!

I have no idea what's going on with the scoring though.

I swear to you I meant Jordan Henderson for that one! Instead I pick out a reserve goalkeeper for West Ham, glorious. Must be because I am a paddy i somehow thought of him.

Out of curiosity did Jordan Henderson rank please?

Found it, he was 44th. And yes i heard a similar stat about Leon Britton myself, he was 14th last season, with 23 appearances.

where has horsey gone?

Maybe he realised the scoring was all wrong and decided to fix it. How did I get 5pts for Q1 when my answer was right?

Worse reveal ever.  WP.

Anyone else a bit concerned about Horsey? Left midway through reveal then hasn't been online since!

Yes, very.

His blonde profile shows he was "Last Active" (online on blonde) 4 minutes after his last Post on this page.

I have not heard any more from him.

Hopefully, he has had some sort of computer or wifi failure, & his absence is not connected with family health issues. As many of you know, his Mum has been most unwell for some time now.

As a matter of interest, FOUR different people wrote to me expressing concern for John. There are some lovely people here.

Hope he/his family is ok. Worrying times.

This was of course jovial and I hope everything is ok.

Horsey has just been in touch with me.

As feared, things at home took an urgent and unexpected turn for the worse during the Reveal, and he had to dash to the hospital. His Mum has been unwell for some time.

Horsey is back home from the hospital now, for the first time since Wednesday. Am not sure how his Mum is, but as he said he hopes to be back on blonde early next week, it seems like she may be on the mend.

He is immensely grateful to those who expressed concern, and the well-wishers.

ah this needs finishing !

apologies and thanks for messages

Hope all is well mate like Scotty my comment was in jest. 

But while your hear we could be doing with some winners on the nags.

Good to see you back, John, hope Mum is on the mend.
