Liverpool F.C. v. Newcastle United F.C. (Friday) The title race is down to two clubs and these are not the two clubs. A place in Europe, however, is still very much up for grabs and these two clubs are in the thick of the race for it. Separated by only a single point, Liverpool and [...]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, one of the best parts of putting together the Thursday Challenge every week is seeing the commenters come up with answers (and correct ones at that!) that I never anticipated. This week was no exception. Not only did Andrew M. and Dennis W. both answer all [...]

Aberdeen F.C. v. Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. (Saturday) As I may have mentioned a few weeks ago I feel I have to start watching the bottom of the Scottish Premier League table as the club that finishes last could be the one that Ross County replaces in the top flight. Aberdeen are probably safe, but [...]

You’ll be happy to know that this week’s challenge has a little something for everyone: some questions require just some common sense and a bit of digging on the web, while others will require you to have a bit of knowledge about football culture so that you’ll at least know where to begin. There’s [...]

I am pleased to report that for the first time in many weeks we had a commenter “clear the board” with correct answers to all of last week’s questions. I was thinking about sending Andrew M. some sort of Ross County swag to celebrate his accomplishment, but it turns out he already has a Ross [...]

Bradford City A.F.C. v. Southend United F.C. (Friday) As recently as 2000 Bradford were a Premier League club, now they are only one spot above being relegated from league football. I’m not sure how you fill Valley Parade (25,000+) as a conference club, but the Bantams may find out. Southend are in a very different [...]

I can honestly say that I didn’t think last week’s challenge was going to be as difficult as it turned out to be. Sure, a lot of the questions dealt with the lower leagues in England, but three of them involved players or managers in the Premier League, one involved an American player, and one [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Ayr United F.C. (Saturday) At what point am I allowed to start freaking out about what’s going on with my club? County still have a nine point lead over second place Falkirk and no matter what happens in this match or the next one against Dundee, the Staggies will be in [...]

Intrigued by the story of Leyton Maxwell- he was the answer to question #5- I did a little digging this week to find out more about him and his sole appearance for Liverpool. First off, there aren’t a lot of pictures of Maxwell in a Liverpool kit on the web- hence the postage stamp to [...]
