He does seem to be a menace, and one of the small batch I've pre-written for future days literally has the word 'Coventry' in it so his reign of terror may not yet be over.

The answer is John Salako
That's too on-the-nose.
They've all been wooed by Steve Ogrizovic.
Not in the 30 years of the 80's would I have got there.
Did we gain independence two years ago? News to meOriginally Posted by SvN
You should read the papers more then, dickhead.
Are you Czech this week?
Are you a moron always?
Question 5 (like hell am I doing this at weekends)
List A: Brighton, Coventry, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Northampton, Peterborough, Rushden & Diamonds, West Brom
List B: Barnet, Charlton, Chesterfield, Ipswich, Kidderminster, Rochdale, Southampton, Wycombe
Give the correct heading for each list.
List A: Played at the Millennium Stadium when it was being used instead of Wembley.
List B: Didn't?
Southampton definitely played at the Millennium, they lost to Arsenal in 2005 in the FA Cup final.
Winners and Losers at the Millenium Stadium.
For play off finals?
It's nothing to do with the Millennium Stadium. You're in the right sort of era, though.
Is A to do with Trevor Benjamin?
Did one list play games at another clubs stadium and the other host another club?
Naturally Wullie has pissed it again.
List A: a selection of clubs that Trevor Benjamin played for.
List B: a selection of clubs that Trevor Benjamin did not play for.

I though B might have been a Neil Redfearn list
Fuck's sake.
How the fuck do you commit a list of Trevor Benjamin's clubs to memory for fuck sake? Trevor has probably forgotten half of them himself.
Rushden and Diamonds should have narrowed it right down. A+ question design, I thought.
Question 6
The Manchester clubs have only done this once each. Newcastle have done it, but Sunderland haven't. Everton have done it more often than Liverpool, and Spurs have done it more often than Arsenal. Chelsea have done it twice, but another west London club did it first. A club from East Anglia has done it, but no club from the south coast ever has. Last year saw a new club do it, becoming the 14th different club have to done it.
English clubs beating Bayern Munich?
I don't think we've ever beaten them.
That's where my mind went too, Wullie, because of East Anglia but it turns out United beat them in 2010. Although in a losing-on-away-goals effort so maybe it's putting them out of a European tournament?
EDIT: Or not, following Shinners' post.
East Anglia made me think of Bayern Munich or the UEFA Cup, which conveniently reminds me out that one thing linking the two is that every time Bayern Munich played at Highfield Road they were handsomely beaten, with all records of the return leg being lost in a big fire
The reference to another west London club instantly got me thinking of Fulham - my mind went to winning a European trophy (Intertoto Cup for Fulham, which would work for Newcastle), but 16 English clubs have done it, and nobody new last year.
If it's down that avenue, I've had a quick skim for Juventus. We've beaten them but the Anglians haven't seemingly played the Old Lady.
I thought the same again, but yeah Ipswich was the sticking point. And no English team played them last season to be a new entrant.
Alright, so I'm guessing Wolves are the new guys. Something, something, Olympiakos. :shrug:
It's nothing to do with Europe. Look closer to home.
Probably something to with win streaks or pissing margins away, then.
Is the 14th club Villa?
No, but Villa are in the 14.
Well I dunno about anybody else but I feel like I need another clue. When did United do The Thing? Or if that's gonna give the game away is there another team you could tell us when that might nudge us in the right direction?
Clue set:
- It concerns matters since football began in 1992.
- Manchester United only did it for the first (and thus far only) time within the last five seasons.
- Tottenham have done it the most times of any club.
- Leeds have done it the second most, but their last one was ages ago.
Is it something to do with games won from losing positions?
Nope. The answer is very simple, actually. Could be expressed in as few as two words.
Finished fifth?
I doubt only fourteen clubs have finished 5th.
Finished Sixth?
United finished 6th twice in the past 4 seasons.

The 14 are from earliest first: QPR, Leeds, Arsenal, Aston Villa, West Ham, Chelsea, Ipswich, Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham, Everton, Man City, Man Utd and most recently Leicester.
Norwich finished third once, I know that.
United finished 3rd in the Invincibles season on top of last year, so not that.
I'd venture 'Beat XXX' could be it.
Oh is that you confirming it's correct, Jimmy?

Well this is awkward (Part III)
It looked more like a further clue to me - just say 'correct' ffs...
I'd venture it's not given Jimmy's already doled out another photo from his Chelsea Dreamboats squad.
EDIT:
I'd only joined from this question and in the last 10 mins, so if that's the already accepted standard for confirming correct questions, I apologise for not reading the previous 5 Qs.
