PM fiddly so have sent in by email. Hope that's OK.

I didn't save a copy to my outbox so now I'm unsure whether you have received it? Could you post up if you have please?

[dino1980]

Sent.

Confirmed what I thought, that I really don't know as much about football as i used to.

+1...although massive FML on question 14. Had no clue, so used the colours in the background to get the right team/country but wrong competition. Then the highlights for that league were on TV an hour or so later and that trophy is shown in the opening credits, inbetween all the highlights and whenever there's a replay of a goal. Sick rubs.

Hasselbaink > Bergkamp. Did not expect that.

Did better than I expected but always a couple of ones you kick yourself over!

Did TightEnd get the attendance right? He probably named them, too.

[AceHighSuited]

[ForthThistle]

Big congratulations to the inaugural champions, and especially horseplayer who won the Premier League, just pipping TightEnd to the trophy.

Season Two questions will be up tomorrow most likely, with a weekend deadline - does that sound fair?

[Rubbish2407]

I thought I scored 10? Gutted about getting Cashley and Villareal wrong.

[scotty2hatty]

Please, if you think I have scored you incorrectly say so ASAP.
