Sent you a PM @scotty2hatty

We have 9 so far with plenty time to get involved.

14 entries. I'll do the scoring tomorrow afternoon so if you still want in there's a bit of time.

TightEnd 4/6 fave*

*I haven't seen any answers so not a spoiler

ffs forgot about this

Just going to reveal throughout the day as I haven't prepped any results.

Scoring is 2pts for correct answer, 1pt for the answer which is 2nd closest and 0pt for the furthest away answer. Should make it a little more interesting than simple point for right and nothing for wrong.

Four questions down and we've got an exciting league table as people jostle for positions with everyone aiming for one of those coveted top 5 spots, whilst others dream of midtable mediocrity.

Dacorb, degston77, Tal and Archer have came out flying with 4 correct answers, with Alverton making up the top 5 on 7 points. He's ahead of the other 7 pointers using absolutely no system. Other notables on 7 points are Karabiner and 4KSuited, names notorious with lower half finishes.

TightEnd, bergeroo and arbboy were all amongst the pre-tournament favourites but see themselves slightly off the pace.

JuperJiper has work to do, sitting on 2 points.

At the quarter-way point and we have two clear leaders in degston77 and Tal with full marks so far. They're followed by 5 players on 9 points including 4KSuited and Karabiner who were 33/1 and 25/1 pre-competition.

The bottom 5 are now slightly adrift, with the maverick Ironside amongst them. arbboy and bergeroo, both short 4/1 shots pre-competition look to be struggling. JuperJiper props up the table, with pre-comp fave TightEnd sitting in 11th, 2pts off the top.

Plenty of time for the wheels to fall off.

A real splitter question, with 7 opting for the correct Arteta and another 7 selecting the slightly older Gerrard. Competition favourite TightEnd's woes continue with a 0 pointer as did Alverton.

6 questions in and Tal is our sole leader, with a full score so far, after a slight slip by degston77. KarmaDope, who has proven himself to be a top quizzer throughout the last month or so, has moved in to the top 5 and only trails the leader by one point. Karabiner has reached the lofty heights of 5th (joint 2nd) and joins 4KSuited in the top 5.

Lower down the table, arbboy looks to make a move out of the bottom 5 with a correct answer and is now only inside the bottom spots on a tie system that is yet to be determined.

Tal is now joined at the top, ominously, by KarmaDope who has went favourite inplay. Archer leaps in to the top 5, taking the place of degston77 who has slipped on the last two questions.

arbboy has successfully managed his way out of the bottom 5, with TightEnd surprisingly taking his spot.

Holllllllllllllllllld

Instant slip from KarmaDope who allows Tal to take a one point lead over the other 4 in the top 5. That top 5 now have a bit of daylight over the 6th placed jakally. degston77's blow up continues and he drops in to a midtable spot and is joined on 11 points by the surging arbboy who has 5 points from the last 3 questions.

JuperJiper, who has been bottom from Q1, moves off that spot with a correct answer and it is now stribling who sits in the undesired 16th place. TightEnd and bergeroo, both perennial quiz contenders, fail to move out the bottom 5 despite answering correctly.

In a desperate bid to avoid bottom spot, did i not put PSG for Q8?

Ps i dont know if i actually did, clutching at straws.

Apologies stribs, having those two similar questions next to each meant I've probably picked up Q7's answer. Your score will be amended after Q9 later.

if i can keep ahead of tighty or even 1 or 2 points behind i will be happy

Only 4 players managed to correctly identify Thierry Henry as the correct answer, including the new look top 2 as 4KSuited incredibly joins Tal up near the top. Tal still holds a one point lead. Archer, KarmaDope and Karabiner continue to make up the top 5 although Karabiner dropped off the pace a little with Defoe incorrect.

JuperJiper, unfortunately, was never off the bottom and remains there. Bottom 5 unchanged although Ironside made some movement with the correct answer and is now only in the bottom 5 via the tie system.

Plenty movement after question 10, but no change at the top as Tal continue to impress. The three in behind aren't going away though and are all in striking distance. Slight change to the top 5 though as Karabiner drops out and is replaced by robbiebox who started off strong but had a sluggish period but has 5 points from 6 whilst others are slipping.

Ironside and TightEnd make a collective jump out of the dreaded bottom 5 with arbboy and Alverton taking their places. Alverton is having a torrid time, after answering the first 3 questions correctly, he has went on to fail to get any of the next 7 correct. Dacorb and degston77 managed to stop similar slumps by correctly answering Manchester City.

A great question for movement in the table with less than half the field correctly answering Raheem Sterling, would you pay £115m for Raheem? Or is Kane the value? Salah's age will have worked against him.

Tal's incorrect answer, coupled with Archer's correct answer, means that his lead is reduced to one point with 4KSuited missing the opportunity to go top of the table. robbiebox's stay in the top 5 was short lived as he is leapfrogged by jakally.

Bergeroo jumped three places with his Sterling answer and promptly demoted TightEnd back in to the bottom 5. Alverton and arbboy bounced back after dropping in to the bottom 5 and whilst they remain there they've closed the gap to 0.5pts - Alverton in particular needed to stop the rot. JuperJiper is finally off the bottom, with stribling taking that place.

All 5 of the top 5 correctly answered Burnley which means no change at the top but it does mean they have extended their lead over the chasing pack with degston77's correct answer meaning he jumps up a couple of spots but still 1.5pts behind the leaders.

Since his 7 question struggle, Alverton has banged out two correct answers in a row and moves in to midtable whereas Ironside slides back in to the bottom 5 and takes his spot. JuperJiper drops back in to the bottom spot with stribling's 1pt enough to jump back above him.

Archer could only secure 1 point on question 13 which allowed Tal to extend his lead at the top to 1.5 points with 7 questions to go. 4KSuited also only managed a single point meaning that KarmaDope joins him on 21.5. degston77 led after 5 questions but fell away but he now finds himself back in the top 5, taking jakally's place.

arbboy confidently answered in this round and has been rewarded with exiting the bottom 5, with bergeroo dropping back down. Alverton's revivial continues and he now finds himself one correct answer away from the top 5.

Ironside, TightEnd and robbiebox have all had 3 incorrect answers in a row with the first two now finding themselves somewhat adrift in the bottom 5.

Only 5 players answered correctly in this round and, perhaps surprisingly, none of the top 5 were amongst those who were correct which meant once again a slip up by Tal goes unpunished. degston77 was the most effected though as his stay back in the top 5 ends after one question, jakally taking his spot back.

Alverton has now correctly answered 4 in a row and he is now only one point away from the top 5. If he manages to pull off the return to the top 5 it'll complete quite the turnaround.

The bottom 5 have tightened up after JuperJiper's correct answer. Ironside and TightEnd's woes continue with another incorrect answer. robbiebox is also a member of the 4 incorrect in a row club but continues to maintain a midtable berth.

You did ask for most career club goals. They are just league totals. Aguero has scored more club goals than Henry according to wiki. Nice reveal regardless.

This objection is confirmed as correct.

The scoring error has huge ramifications for the table with Archer the new leader! Tal and KarmaDope have a two point swing and are now tied in second place, only 0.5 points behind Archer. 4KSuited is another to have negatively been effected by the error. degston77, who spotted the mistake, jumps back in to the top 5. Alverton is another to benefit and he is right in contention now.

JuperJiper is a big degston77 fan and he jumps up three places. stribling is less of a fan I hear.

farce

FARCE

ps did it effect me?

Haha, yeah, -1pt

Cup of tea and Killing Eve. Then I'll be back with the final 6 questions, could be an exciting finish.

FFS

this reveal is turning into a bigger farce that arrboy's and that was the gold standard for FARCES

can i lay that please?

took 2 minutes over it, and multiple choice is a great leveller...:-)

p.s scoring is, dare i say it..facrcial?

5000/1 now mate.

Multiple choice designed to boost field numbers but fair point.

Scoring designed for TV/dramatic purposes. I'll compare versus actual correct answers at end.

FARCE!

 ;boltpp;

Think it’s a great format for excitement & giving everyone a shot. Enjoying the reveal.

On a sad day for me (see the Covid thread) this put a smile on my face!   My reveal was as bad as it could possibly be!   I think this quiz has been top class with 20 questions and loads of punters entering.   People forget the more questions/more people having a spin the harder it is to manage.  Scotty is doing a great job of this and it isn't his first attempt either.   Cheers Scotty.   Enjoyed this quiz as much as any of the others.  I am surprised at some of the placings which shows how well handicapped this quiz was.  Odds on fav's tailed off!  Bit like Stoke to be promoted!

Just seen your sad news on the other thread, my condolences to you and your family. A blonde quiz is made better by a little FARCE goes back to when blonde was a little bigger and  less serious. Having the gold standard for farceness is a badge of honour you should wear with pride although scotty is doing his best to win the badge from you.

My reveal was shocking beyond belief.   Scotty has run a top class 3 way quiz here which is super interesting.   No one has a clue who is going to win.   I would have laid tighty at 25/1 to be placed where he is.   That is a guide to how well handicapped the quiz is.

scotty had wrong answers LOL

and 2 extended breaks and i am in danger of coming in the bottom 5 pure farce 8)

hell i will settle for last place if i am tied with tighty

Vertonghen a couple of years older than the others and perhaps could be coming to the end of his Premier League career. Safe to say Walcott at 31 failed to fulfil his early promise.

The two leaders answered correctly and have now opened up a slight lead due to failures by KarmaDope and 4KSuited. Alverton is absolutely flying and is now only 0.5 behind 4th, and there is only half a point separating the 4 players in behind Alverton.

Three way tie at the bottom as TightEnd and Ironside continued their incorrect streak. stribling's one point jumps him to a tie with those two. JuperJiper has picked up and now has arbboy in his sights.

I cannot deny that I am getting great pleasure seeing the not infrequent Tighty - null points.

Schadenfreude can be such fun.

stribling 15.5

Far and away the easiest question of the quiz with 14 of 16 getting it correct. Despite that we still saw a significant change in the table as KarmaDope was one of those to answer incorrectly and he drops from 3rd to 6th. Alverton is the happy recipient of Karma's wrong answer and moves in to 5th.

Only celtic nil points could get away with that!

People gonna be thinking i answered them for him at this rate.

i think tighty copied my answers

Another of the easier questions it seems, with 12 of 16 answering correctly. This meant that the ones who were wrong are badly punished in such a tight table. degston77 was one of those and this means that Alverton's incredible run continues, he's know sitting in 4th with the podium easily achievable now. No change amongst the top 2 with only 3 questions to go.

KarmaDope is on a bad run, with 4 wrong in a row and he needs to pick up to get back in that top 5 with Dacorb and robbiebox now on the same score.

In the bottom 5 JuperJiper moves in to 12th after a long time in last place but it is tight down there. He is 3pts away from arbboy in 11th however and that will take some pulling back over the final 3 questions.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This could be a pivotal question with Tal failing and that has allowed Archer to open a 1.5pt lead with two questions to go. Elsewhere in the top 5, Alverton's crazy run is over and he drops to 5th with degston77 moving ahead of him. However, only 2pts separate 4th to 10th.

arbboy did open the door for JuperJiper but he couldn't step fully through but has pulled himself closer. Bergeroo also has arbboy in his sights. Significantly at the bottom, Ironside scores zero and is now the sole holder of the bottom spot, one point behind TightEnd, with stribling a further point ahead.

aye its lowest scores must be as tighty is 2nd

Incredible Q19 swing as Archer, who has seemed unstoppable, plumps for Southampton which scores zero and allows Tal to jump back to the top of the table. Tal was one of only 4 people to answer the question correctly with, perhaps, amazingly the other three all being in the bottom 5 (bergeroo, stribling and TightEnd).

Alverton and degston77 flip flop again and now degston77 is tied with 6th place robbiebox with ties to be split after question 20. An incorrect answer from KarmaDope will have been a huge blow as a correct answer would have had him back in the top 5 but he still has an outside chance. As does jakally but he needs a lot of things to go his way.

Further down the table, arbboy is really having to battle to hold off the challengers to his 11th spot and bergeroo is now only a single point behind him. TightEnd's correct answer means that Ironside is confirmed as last with one question to go.

Cmon I have to get out of the drop zone here!

FARCE

this is a great quiz scotty.  I reallly thought you had set us up with a lot of trick questions but you didn't!  I just over thought a lot of them haha!

An excellent competition sees Tal come out on top by 1.5pts after Archer slipped up on the final two questions. The top 5 was completed by 4KSuited (very solid and in top 5 for majority of competition), Alverton (great story throughout after getting 7 questions wrong in a row at one point) and degston77 (up and down competition but pips robbiebox on questions correct).

robbiebox can be very happy with 6th despite missing out on the top 5 as he had a solid 20 questions. KarmaDope finished 7th after being in the top 5 for a lengthy period, a sluggish finish was his undoing. jakally finished only 1.5pts behind 5th and had a great run, featuring in the top 5 on a few occasions - 13 questions correct too, showed he knew his stuff but suffered on the questions he answered incorrectly. Karabiner and Dacorb both finished 0.5pts behind jakally in 9th and 10th respectively and neither really troubled either the top 5 or bottom 5, although Karabiner did show early promise.

An amazing finish by bergeroo meant he leapfrogged arbboy out of the bottom 5 on the very last question to finish 11th. arbboy actually dropped two places to 13th on the final question with stribling taking 12th. JuperJiper and TightEnd finished 14th and 15th and never really looked like getting out of the bottom 5. Ironside was a worthy last place finisher, answering 6 questions correctly, and finished 3pts adrift.

Yeah they were designed to seem like potential tricks and have you second guessing a little. Sometimes the obvious answer was just the correct answer.

Thanks very much to the 16 guys who took part, hope you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed the reveal. The scoring system made it exciting throughout.

Well done to Tal, great victory. And well done to the other 4 guys who made it in to the top 5.

Thanks Scotty - top quizmastering again - and a great all-day reveal.

Well done to Tal for the win, and to Tighty for avoiding last place.

Very well done Scotty - on every level.

Thanks for running it.

top quiz scotty.  Top bombing tal.   Great reveal.  best quiz of the lockdown for me.

Agreed!

Great quiz Scotty & excellent reveal. Thanks for running it.

Hahah jakally, one minute a fan of the scoring system and the next throwing it under the bus.

On reflection, it wasn't as good as I initially thought.

Oioi

He's only agueroed it...

Well done, Archer!

 :) :)

Not only that but the 1987 Cup-final is currently on BBC1.

 ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

I think you’ll find that my reveal made yours look professional

Feels a bit like the BBC putting the 85 snooker final on the other day. You'd think Steve Davis never won a final.

unbelievable scenes.  Big ron is doing the comm's on the telly now for the 1987 cup final as well!  Spurs get fucked twice in an hour sorry tal!  Archer is a 33 year later version of Houchen to stop tal winning in extra time.  Will spurs ever win a trophy?  haha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_FA_Cup_Final

what a final that was though i can still remember watching it live as a kid wondering how the spurs mega stars got beat.   I was at leicester the week before watching them playing cov in a league game and cov were terrible.

Good read this, well done Archer, unlucky Tal, and generally a great job by scotty!

Can only apologise for the two answer mistakes, no idea why I would change my sourcing for two questions. Not sure how Tal will ever get over this, could go backwards.

I've made a start to another so can get that up in the next day or two. It will be fully proof read!

loved the 2 different winners just adds to the farce

Looks like I still stayed up due to correct answer difference! Thanks for the quiz, I would lobby for three points for a win next season - will stop these draw merchants getting too high up the table.

Great quiz Scotty, sorry I missed it.
