Has anyone else got some football-realted pub ammo? I'm very bored.
Contrary to popular belief,
football doesn't matter.

You've missed out some great trophies
Like Auto-Windscreens and Anglo-Italian Cup.
football fact:
Sheffield United are evil incarnate
Avram Grant is in fact
Toad of Toad Hall

wheres wimbledon eh?
FA cup winners i believe
who?
"CURRENT LEAGUE CLUBS"
arent they top of the third division
or whatever it is now? or are you saying that Milton Keynes Dons arent really wimbledon any more. thinking about it, fair enough
they're a completely seperate club now.
they've handed all the trophies over and everything.
If I was to play devil's advocate
I'd argue that MK Dons are still Wimbledon and AFC Wimbledon are a completely different entity. But I won't.
Portsmouth
have the record for holding the FA cup for the most consecutive years, it was in 1939, the following 6 tournaments were cancelled due to the war.
thats the only football fact i know
What the fuck do you call the Zenith Data Systems cup then?
1991 Palace beat Everton in the final.
Also..MK Dons are effectively Wimbledon right? FA Cup.
i completely refuse to recognise it.
but...

It was a big deal...
Despite almost being in the top flight
not so long ago. If oxford united were to gain promotion to the football league, then technically (according to horribly complex rules) their ground, Kassam Stadium is not up to the standard needed to re-obtain league status. Although, as they have plenty of money, I'm sure the FA would back down faster than a Northwich fan, faced with a can of deodorant.
.
how come? is it cos it only has three sides!
i was about to curse the lack of oxford united in the list of trophy winners (league cup 1986) but then realised that it was only current league clubs *sniff*
yeah,
because one side is just a car park is the reason, quite how that makes such a difference, I don't know.
West Ham were the last
team to win the FA Cup with a team consisting soley of British players. Or something.
Also...
Is that Swindon trophy when they won the Anglo-Italian cup in 1969 at the expense of Roma?
Peter Taylor
has signed Junior Lewis six separate times in his management career. They've both been together at Dover, Gillingham, Leicester, Brighton, Hull and Stevenage. Both have also had a spell (separately) at Hendon.

David May
is the only player to win a premiership medal with two different clubs.
Name the football league that start and end with the same letter
bloody typos
football league CLUBS
Did Henning Berg not win the title at United as well as Blackburn?
yes
although i was drunk when was told this fact and forgot to include David May as well. Oh well
Aston Villa
and Liverpool and York City (ok, no longer a league club..) and you know, the others.
Northampton Town
*
one more club
Charlton Athletic
Also Aston Villa
Although they're not a football league club at the moment.
What part
of Aston Villa in my post did you not understand?
The bit
where you post didn't exist. Mainly because I hadn't refreshed.
*your post
Charlton
...
Arsenal hold the record for the most consecutive seasons spent in the top flight of English football, at 81 seasons as of 2007–08.
Are Everton still second?
Coventry used to be third in that list, before they finally imploded.
Yeah
Everton are still 2nd. Derby aren't 3rd.
The only player
to have scored hattricks at what is now League 2, League 1, Championship, Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and full international level is Rob Earnshaw.
Only one
player has played in: the Milan, Glasgow, Merseyside, Manchester derbies is Mike Hately
I don't want to keep blowing out your candles
but I'm sure that Mark Hateley played for neither Everton nor Liverpool.
Or, for that matter, either manchester club
Are you drunk?
:D
The only player ever to score hat tricks in the dutch 3rd division, french premier league and spanish league cup is John Hartson.
What about Mike Hateley?
i'm not sure there's ever been such a footballer.
Google wants to know if I mean Mike Hatley
Do I?
thats the man
Mike, mark. Having a spelling nightmare today.
nor man city or utd
somehow he's got brilliantly confused between kanchelskis and christian ziege
and ended up with Mike Hateley.
That is really, really bad footballer maths
I think we should go with it anyway.
If we all run with it it might catch on.
Footballer maths:
Peter Shilton - Paul Merson = George Berry
Daniel Amokachi / Paul McStay = Ronnie Rosenthal
Ian Durrant x Graeme Le Saux = Keiron Dyer
Nwankwo Kanu
Is the only player to have won the Premiership, FA Cup, Champions League and the UEFA Cup.
Matt Le Tissier
was a circus clown. He scored clever goals and did bugger all else. He refused to leave Southampton because he didn't want to work hard.
"He scored clever goals and did bugger all else"
Sounds like a job doer to me.
