TightEnd 10/1

In - even though these are so much more difficult  ;scarymoment;

Thanks again Scotty.

In - naturally.

All guessable my man, you've got this.

and my odds?

How much can we have on at 10/1?  Angry tighty haha!   Must be closer to a 7/4 poke surely?  Another great quiz the only way i think you could improve it was have a 'joker' and 'semi joker' round where you could apply those two codes to one question each and get additional points for answers you thought were bomb proof.

He's already been heavily backed in to 5/2. Will price the full field up pre-reveal.

I agree something like the joker system could work, see if there's still interest after this one.

After the ignominy of last times half hearted and rushed effort, I took this one seriously. Hope to be top half in the format. Plenty of interesting questions

Currently 33/1

can i have £5 EW top 5 please

make that top 20 just seen the questions

In and sent

Employed the magic pin on most all of these.

Probably still beat Tighty.

11 so far, hoping to get the 16 from last time.

He can only dream of such an achievement. stroke of luck

In, not confident.

I’ll have ago

have i won yet?

I'll tell you who's not in yet, the defending champion, nor the runner-up. Archer has done a hit and run. Tal fuming that I robbed him of victory.

Thks for the reminder. Sent if not too late.

And we are off.

Took me a while to come up with a suitable 3rd person for the multiple choice and it was only 66/1 shot ForthThistle who went for Bardsley which results in him propping up the table instantly. Forth was priced as such purely based on his own confidence of his chances, can he beat last season's last place finisher Ironside?

A lot of correct answers, amongst those are antepost favourites Archer and TightEnd.

A tricky question based on Donnarumma's young age but Atletico's Oblak the most valued of the 3. Many a player fell in to the trap of selecting the Italian but many found the correct answer, with Ironside (66/1) being the only player to plump for ter-Stegen. Oblak in fact is the highest valued keeper in the world, followed by Allison, with Ederson also in the top 5.

ForthThistle's early woes continue as he remains on 0pts with that 66/1 looking a bit short. Seven players sit on a full score so far but notably current champion Archer slipped up here and sits near the bottom of the table. TightEnd has potentially gone favourite, despite his poor season 1 performance.

Looking forward to this reveal!  22/1 how dismissive!

With a largely English audience we saw quite a few correct answers on question 2 with a sprinkling of Harry Kane answers, followed with the Scotsman Ironside the only person to score zero.

After being talked up preseason and after question 2, TightEnd slips back in to the middle of the pack, along with 4 others on 5pts. The top 5 consists of 5 players on a full score after 3 questions. Karabiner has his name at the top of the list but it must be noted that he started off strongly in season 1 but could not maintain the pace and finished in midtable. Other notables in the top 5 are KarmaDope who started off amongst the favourites based on season 1 and his strong blonde quizzing whilst Rubbish2407 is an interesting one given he has solid quizzing form. stribling is looking to defy his 33/1 pricing.

Ironside joins ForthThistle at the bottom of the table, as the betting market predicted whilst Archer shockingly finds himself amongst the bottom 5 and already has 3pts to make up on the leaders. He did, however, come from slightly off the pace early on in season 1.

Quite a solid answer from the field on question 4 with the Bernabeu having a 5000+ bigger capacity over the San Siro and then Old Trafford.

Of the top 5, 4 of them managed to answer correctly and Karabiner remains top - he did show some confidence in his answers when sending and he could go well from the front. Rubbish2407, stribling and KarmaDope join Karabiner at the top.

The only player of the top 5 to answer incorrectly was Dacorb and he drops 5 places in the table. degston77 grabs his place in 5th and he sits on 7pts along with 4 others.

Incorrect answers from Ironside and ForthThistle mean they continue to sit bottom of the table, with no change to the other names in the bottom 5. That means that Archer remains down there after only scoring a single point on this question.

Sorry, Scotty. Wasn't a flounce; just totally forgot.

The swingiest question to date with regards the league table with question 5 having quite a few factors to consider with this one.

It must seem like deja vu for Karabiner as his incorrect answer drops him from 1st to outside of the top 5. Rubbish2407 followed him out of the top 5 and their 2 places were taken by bergeroo and Juperjiper - two players who struggled in season 1. Stribling and KarmaDope now sit proudly at the top of the table on full score after 5 questions.

The bottom 5 showed no change in personnel but Ironside did manage to get himself off the bottom of the table with Pokerpops now tied at the bottom with ForthThistle. jakally is another surprising early struggler as he was comfortable in midtable last season and answered many questions correctly.

No worries mate, assumed as much.

Perhaps a little harsh question, given the closeness of the top two answers. Only one poor soul going for the Owen/Woodgate mix, one guess as to who that was as for the second time in 6 questions Ironside is the only person to score 0pts.

It has taken 6 questions but we now have a clear leader for the first time and it is KarmaDope who sits top on 12pts following stribling's slight slip up. KarmaDope finished 7th in season 1 but has started strongly here and is the inplay favourite at Hatbrokes. degston77 lost his top 5 place to Rubbish2407 and degston77's season so far has taken a similar route to season 1.

The middle bunch are all tightly packed together with one point between the 7 players and still plenty of time for them to push in to the top and contest the title. arbboy was one of only 5 to identify Beckham as the correct answer and that has left him tied with the likes of TightEnd and Alverton.

ForthThistle got his second correct answer of the season and that was enough to move him off the bottom of the table with Ironside and Pokerpops joint at the bottom on 5pts. Archer may have been a rick in the latest prices from Hatbrokes but he does only have 2 correct answers so far and is 3pts off the top 5.

Question 7 saw lot of movement in the table with players split between Fabregas and Song with those being worth 2pts and 0pts respectively. Impressively, Ironside was the only player to answer Henry and he's now had his own answer for three of the seven questions.

KarmaDope kept up his 100% start to the season and this quiz is starting to resemble the last quiz I ran where KarmaDope absolutely smashed it - can he be stopped? Well, stribling isn't going anywhere and the player who finished 12th in season 1 is only one point back. There was a change to the top 5 as Karabiner and degston77 both leaped back in after brief breaks. Incorrect answers from bergeroo and Juperjiper meant that not only did they drop out the top 5 they tumbled down 5 places each, although they are only 1pt away from the top 5.

Dacorb has been extremely solid so far with 5 of 7 correct and is now tied for a place in the top 5, as is 4KSuited (22/1) who could be a sleeper in the competition having finished 3rd last time out.

Pokerpops is now alone at the bottom of the table after Ironside scored 1pt but it is now 2 questions correct in a row for ForthThistle who is now tied for a place outside the bottom 5. TightEnd and arbboy who both finished in the bottom 5 in season 1 now find themselves in the bottom 5 this season for the first time.

Alverton has 3 incorrect answers in a row and is now in danger of dropping in to the bottom 5 which no one would have predicted given his 4th place finish last season.

In what felt like a tricky question, 15 of 17 players answered correctly meaning little change to the table. stribling, who was one of the two to answer wrongly, moves from 2nd to 6th and exits the top 5 for the first time. 4KSuited's title aspirations took a massive blow as he dropped down to 11th.

Apologies for the wonky order there.

You'd be mistaken for thinking it was 8pm on a Thursday but the noise was simply the cheers around the country when KarmaDope answered incorrectly and it has definitely opened up the competition.

KarmaDope's incorrect answer didn't shift him from the top spot but he is now joined up there by Rubbish2407 on 16pts. They have very little breathing room however as Karabiner, degston77 and Dacorb are all only a single point back. Dacorb has had little mention and is going about his business quietly but he looks likely to improve on his 10th place finish from season 1.

The Scottish based question clearly threw a few off but not Ironside who was certain with his answer and whilst it didn't move him out of the bottom 5 he is now only 1pt away from doing so. Pokerpops is having a torrid time and is now 3pts adrift of the nearest player. Another player showing some form is ForthThistle and he is now tied on points with those outside the bottom 5 and can now look to push on. TightEnd took a big jump out of the bottom 5 and can now set his sights on the top 5.

Not a single player selected Fernando Torres as their answer with the majority going for Raul meaning those answering David Villa had a good round.

Two players who answered correctly were the top 2, KarmaDope and Rubbish2407, meaning they are unchanged at the top. They did however extend their lead over a couple of contenders with only degston77 of the remainder of the top 5 answering correctly, he remains only 1pt behind.

At the half way stage there is a notable 2pt gap from 7th to 8th and there's the possibility that we could have a breakaway pack at the top. The bottom of the table is exceptionally tight with 5 players on 12pts, with 3 of those in the bottom 5. Pokerpops remains bottom and has 3pts to find to catch Alverton.

We had a PM objection to question 6 which has been denied as the source was legit.

Excellent work as per usual scotty2quizmastery.

Sorry Forth, got you and Pops the wrong way round.

can i just point out i went A B C the whole way through apart from the from the home of gods question

Great time to be alive

Are we resuming behind closed doors at a neutral venue?

v good

He isn't doing badly compared to some other quizmasters such as Arbboy, the question density is higher and Scotty's quizes are more popular.  Impossible to make comparisons.   All in all an exemplar performance. 

Apologies guys, life got in the way. Rest tomorrow during the day.

These are difficult times Scotty - as long as you are trying your hardest all is good.

It's a game of two halves.

FFS why do people give the QM an easy time of it nowadays BRING BACK THE FARCE

v v good

Is late entry available before the start of day 2?

Shocked to be still in with a shout at this stage. I like half time. It ramps up the tension!

Scrap the whole thing now with no relegation

Can we get clarification as to how the league table
Is represented as in how people with the same points score are displayed.

Is everybody above ForthThistle 🙊🙊

After the actual farce of question 11 we quickly move on to 12 and we now have a standalone leader with Michel Vorm only providing one point for KarmaDope allowing Rubbish2407 to take a one point lead. Rubbish2407 was a 20/1 shot pre-competition and is said to be a big loser for Hatbrokes. KarmaDope is tied in second place with degston77 who is looking to improve on his 5th place finish in season 1.

bergeroo and stribling are only one point outside the top 5 and below those two the league is super tight, in actual fact only 3 points split the 4th place Karabiner and the 14th place ForthThistle, who has showed much improved mid-season form. A couple of players to look out for in the middle of the pack are TightEnd and Archer, both on 15pts currently and who were recently priced at 66/1 and 33/1 respectively recently.

Not something I thought we would ever see but only person correctly identifying VVD as the correct answer with the majority opting for Victor Wanyama - jakally was the big winner here with the correct answer and he is now only 1pt outside the coveted top 5, tied with three others on 16pts. In the top 5, Rubbish2407 had a good round as his 1pt was enough to extend his lead at the top to 2pts with amazingly the other 4 in the top 5 all answering Fraser Forster.

The race for the top 5 is really heating up with 8 player on 16 or 17 points, covering 4th to 11th!

Lower down the table, arbboy and ForthThistle had minor slip ups and that has allowed Ironside to moved tied with those players on 14pts. All of the bottom 5, bar Pokerpops, are potentially only one correct answer away from escaping that dreaded zone.

got to stop thinking Scotty is putting in trick questions! 

I even gave you the spoiler at the end of the first one that they were designed to make you think they were trick questions. Just leads to you double bluffing yourself.

A very swingy Champions League question with a mixture of answers which has resulted in quite a bit of movement in the league table. No change amongst the top 3 title challengers with all 3 answering correctly but directly below them Karabiner has had 4 incorrect answers in a row and drops from 4th to 12th in swoop. Dacorb was also in the top 5 prior to this question but his answer of Barcelona has dropped him from 5th to 10th. The main benefactors were bergeroo and stribling who take the two places in the top 5, both sitting on 19pts.

The chasing pack for the top 5 are only 1pt behind on 18 and consists of 5 players, notably TightEnd, Archer and the inform jakally. Juperjiper is also in contention and he carried his form from the end of season 1 in to this season and is now a significant danger to the top 5.

In the bottom 5, ForthThistle has 4pts from the last 3 questions and that has allowed him to separate from the rest of the bottom 5 and is now only 1pt behind Karabiner in 12th. After his horror start, can the one time 500/1 chance start moving up the table?

The majority of players correctly identified Pochettino, who managed almost 40 games more than Klopp, as the correct answer but that doesn't mean we didn't see some significant movement in the table. The top 3 weren't amongst the movers and with only 5 questions to go it could be argued that the league title is now a 3 horse race.

A famous name has reached the top 5, that of TightEnd, whose run of 13pts out of the last 14 available has moved him from the bottom 5 at one point to now a genuine contender. He takes bergeroo's place, with his time in the top 5 only lasting one question, he moves from 4th to 11th. Now 4th to 8th place are all tied on 20pts and those top 5 spots are really all to play for. Karabiner stopped the rot and now only sits one point back in 9th.

ForthThistle has now managed to successfully work his way out of the bottom 5 and is now only 2pts away from the top 5! Significantly, Pokerpops has cut the deficit at the bottom to only 2pts and has Alverton is his sights.

Some overound that for a 3 horse race.  Running scared of the forth thistle punters?  Got the palp excuse in early though.

The ups and downs of a season of MCQ have been fully demonstrated after only 6 of the 17 players answered correctly on one of the trickier questions. Arsenal are clearly struggling defensively for Leno to be up there.

degston77 took advantage of a minor slip up by Rubbish2407 and now sits clear in 2nd, only 1pt behind. KarmaDope scored zero and is now in 3rd. Defending champion Archer has produced a miraculous recovery from an early season spot in the bottom 5 and it could be argued that he has a real chance of becoming a two time champion, although with only 4 questions remaining it would require a lot of things to go his way. stribling makes up the top 5, with an incorrect answer dropping TightEnd back out of the top 5 after a brief visit.

Juperjiper now leads the chasing pack and sits equal on 21pts with stribling and we then see a group of 5 players on 20pts. One of those players is ForthThistle who, with 8pts out of the last 10, is now amazingly only 1pt away from a top 5 spot after looking initially like a banker for a bottom 5 spot.

In the bottom 5 it is a surprise to see 4KSuited down there after his 3rd place in season and 12/1 pre-competition pricing and he is two points from safety. In fact, Ironside, last placed in season 1, has now leaped ahead of him and with 2 questions correct in a row has a real chance of escaping the bottom 5. Pokerpops has reduced his deficit at the bottom to a single point.

Haha, yeah, first time I was struggling to get it to a decent overround. Don't really know what I'm doing.

ForthThistle a big winner in the book.

Has degston77 handed the title to Rubbish2407? A wrong answer has allowed Rubbish to open up a 3pt lead and is now big odds on to secure the title in his debut season. KarmaDope joins degston77 on 25pts. Archer has suffered the curse of the post-question talking up and instantly blows any chance of pulling off the surprise victory. He sits on 22pts in 4th place whilst ForthThistle sits in 10th place on the same amount of points and we are in for an exciting climax to the season. Karabiner, TightEnd and Dacorb are amongst those also on 22pts.

The bottom 5 look resigned to their fate, although Ironside still has an outside chance of escaping, and Pokerpops upturn in form has dragged arbboy, 4KSuited and Alverton in to a real battle to avoid bottom spot.

Rubbish2407 now has a 4 point lead at the top with only 2 questions to go meaning although he has not mathematically won the title it will take a dramatic set of results for him to not claim the title and land a few bets at 20/1. degston77 and KarmaDope are tied for 2nd on 26pts. Archer and Juperjiper make up the top 5, both on 24pts. However, their places in the top 5 are far from guaranteed with Dacorb and Karabiner also sitting on 24pts.

stribling took a big hit with his 1pt answer and dropped out of the top 5 all the way down to 11th but is only a point away from getting his place back. He's joined on 23pts by TightEnd and ForthThistle who both slipped up with 1pt. bergeroo is also on 23pts after a correct answer.

Pokerpops has almost completed the great escape from bottom spot and is now tied on 18pts with 3 other players.

And there we have it, Rubbish2407 takes the title with a question to spare in what has been a fantastic performance. degston77 and KarmaDope are still tied in 2nd and that battle is going right down to the wire. Another battle that is going down to the final question is for the remaining two coveted spots in the top 5 with any of 8 men still having a chance to occupy those spots.

At the other end of the table, Pokerpops has incredibly moved off the bottom and that place has now went to 4KSuited who has rattled off 5 incorrect answers in a row.

If you’d typed the Luke Shaw question right I might have finished out of the bottom 5

Great quiz, great reveal. When’s the next one?

A tremendous season comes to an end with 20/1 debutant Rubbish2407 taking the title. Rubbish was potentially overpriced pre-competition given his strong showing in multiple blonde quizzes and there was no stopping him in the second half of the quiz as he stretched away from the likes of degston77 (2nd) and early leader KarmaDope (3rd). Whilst the top 3 spots looked locked in a few questions from home the same cannot said for the remaining prize places as the occupants changed almost every question throughout and in the end it was TightEnd, amongst the early favourites, and ForthThistle who took 4th and 5th respectively. Forth's comeback was sensational from an early season bottom spot and he'll be looking to take that form in to season 3.

Juperjiper, Dacorb and stribling all finished on 27pts (the same as TightEnd and ForthThistle) but missed out the top 5 on count back of correct answers and those 3 finished tied for 6th. Pre-competition favourite Archer's incorrect answer on Q20 meant he lost his top 5 spot on the very last question and dropped down to 9th but with plenty of correct answers he must still be considered a top player and a contender for future seasons. Karabiner frequently threatened the top 5 but has to make do with 10th after an up and down season with bergeroo and jakally filling out the safe mid-table spots.

The bottom 5 featured a couple of familiar names with Ironside and arbboy now having the indignity of occupying spots in there two seasons in a row, although arbboy with 9 correct can be happier with his performance. Alverton, a top 5er in season 1, just never got going and finished in a tie for 14th whilst Pokerpops pulled off an excellent revival of sorts to avoid bottom spot after answering all of questions 16 to 20 correctly. The bottom spot went shockingly to season 1 3rd place finisher 4KSuited and he'll want to put this season behind him and move on.

Thank you all for taking part, hope you all enjoyed and I'll bang out another season for Thursday since we still got good numbers.

Superb quiz Scotty yet again.

I lucked out on a few and would say I was only extremely confident on 8 of the 16 I got correct.

Looking forward to the next one.
