General Smuts Posted 3 February 2008 Posted 3 February 2008 Not on here till you've got them all-if you're not sure of any answers -please PM me Can i just put them in here as spoilers? Like 13 is Bury
General Smuts Posted 3 February 2008 Posted 3 February 2008 My brain hurts Did you make these up yourself?
Ultra Posted 4 February 2008 Posted 4 February 2008 This is heavy going on a Monday morning! Still got 11 so far though and will have a go for more tonight..
AoWW Posted 4 February 2008 Posted 4 February 2008 This is superb - but bloody hard! Think I've got about 6 so far and I'm feeling incredibly stoooopid . Need to find the time to give it my full attention really. Are many others having a go? C'mon peeps, you're always banging on about how much smarter you are than ---------, --------- or --------*, well now's your chance to prove it!!! It's looking like I'm not much competition to anyone though. *insert names to suit own preferences
Ultra Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 Got up to 16. Even that was only due to extensive lateral thinking. The moral is not to assume your audience are postgraduates when some of them haven't even reached GCSE level.
AoWW Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 Can i just put them in here as spoilers?Like 13 is Bury A good idea that I think we should go with to get a few more people giving this a shot, at least. May also help the rest of us (namely me!) to get into the swing of it. WTFH is happy for us to start posting our answers on here as spoilers, so c'mon folks... please share those you've already got - for my own sanity, if nothing else. I'll start a tiny list, inc LFFs one from before. (And, yes, I have got more than this - I'll have to add the others later though) So... Answers: 3 Walsall 13 Bury 19 Leeds 30 Sheffield Wednesday
Ultra Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 Having seen your answers, two of them are wrong. No.2 is Walsall and No. 19 is Reading .
Ultra Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 Couple more spoilers - No. 20 is Crystal Palace and No. 27 is Dundee
AoWW Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 Having seen your answers, two of them are wrong.No.2 is Walsall and No. 19 is Reading . No 2? Huh? No 19 - yeah, I was debating between your answer and mine, could be either, I reckon?!
AoWW Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 C'mon LFF and NSLL, you seem to be the only others doing this. Share.....!!!!
General Smuts Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 C'mon LFF and NSLL, you seem to be the only others doing this. Share.....!!!! I only got that 1
