Football Heeps! THE REVEAL

Necro

Kicking off at 7pm this eve, the reveal!

What is Heeps?

Heeps is a version of Sheep, but instead of trying to figure out the most popular answer, you need to wrack your brain and think... what could be the second most popular answer?

The most popular answer(s) to each question scores ZERO!!!

So make sure to tune in from 7 when we will see agony




But I WASN'T CRYING GUYS





And of course we will see jubilation and pandemonium in the stands






And at the end of it all we will see someone lifting the Heeps Trophy

Instead of sliced oranges at half time, I am getting sliced lemons prepped for full time to go with all the bitter sore losers when I win.

I picked Liverpool once for each time they've won the European Cup

I did the same for Arsenal

I was gonna Google to try and give myself some chance, but I would have had to for all 20 questions and that felt too much like hard work. So I entered and ended up Googlilng nothing. So my answers should ... interesting, considering how much I know about soccer. Last time I watched a game was USA 1994.

You missed Ireland’s six World Cup triumphs in a row after that.

Considering how the country lost its head when we got to the quarters in 90, I think I might have heard if we won it since :P

Question 1: Name a winner of the English Premier League since its inception

7 winners means 7 possible correct answers.

BUT

No incorrect answers in Heeps so you could have put Azerbaijan FC if you liked... not sure it would do too well though.

Some of the answers selected...

Question 1: Name a winner of the English Premier League since its inception

Chelsea is a (somewhat) surprising Sheep here - a sign of things to come perhaps?

United and Liverpool earn decent points for their respective selectors too.

Question 2: Name a Premier League top goalscorer

Terry Henry that Irish scamp :P tops the pile this time with 9 people picking Arsenal's record goalscorer.

Deserved zero for Monsieur Henry.

Given my poor start that may be the highlight of the evening.

Can I say I didn't understand the rules and thought this was a sheep? :pac:

Question 3: Name an English Champions League or European Cup Winner

This question was interesting, we had one player take the 'English' part literally and another who is awarding phantom trophies...

No wrong answers in Heeps though!!


Few of the answers...

When you're sat in row Z, and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora, that's Zamora

Question 3: Name an English Champions League or European Cup Winner

United was the WRONG answer to go for here, popular choice but Liverpool bag the points in this round.

Two Heeps in a row. This is my highlight. I should go home now.

Podolski to the left of me, Walcott to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle Giroud

Scores after question 4:

davetherave is off the mark finally! Ted still leads the proceedings but quickbeam and Kolido are nibbling at his football boots, 1 and 2 points behind him respectively.... could this be a fairytale akin to Leicester for QB?
