I remember phone books when I was young, someone would have named themselves "Alpha Taxis" to come first, then someone would go for "AAA Taxis", then someone else would go for "AAAAA Taxis"...

I feel that's where we're heading

You have chance of 'best comeback ever' each game, whereas banjo fall into the category of 'wft happened there' every game.

In fairness I've fallen into that category in every game I've ever played in FG, it's nothing to do with the alphabet.

Pretzill

The sheep's Table Tennis Team are getting in some practice. Their expressions will resemble mine later as I sink to the bottom of the table.

I'm all ready Necro - just got myself a cup of coffee. I've high hopes for this quiz based on something I know absolutely nothing about. :pac:

Necro

While you're waiting here's a few famous sports themes to get the mood going

Bounty Hunter

Wait there are sports teams that don't play in the premiership! ru roh

Necro

Right... I'm here, and I'm ready with the reveal.

One question though -

From 7pm just call me anchor.

Bounty Hunter wrote: »

Nope. I don't believe it. As long as we all stuck together we're fine!

Necro

So before we get started, you might see the OP was updated (again)

38 unique entries. This is gonna be fun.

Thank you all again!

And with that said, I suppose we move into question 1...

Which is 'A'

Accrington Stanley, who are they?

Necro

Yep... most people also agreed
