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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last week’s holiday-themed challenge was a “tough ask” and I’m not shocked that there was only one among who was able to correctly ascertain the answer to the first half of the question and that nobody was able to answer the second half of the question. Join me after the jump and I will reveal [...]

I had to prepare these answers a bit on the early side, so if you slipped your answers under the door to my office at the last minute feel free to publicize your efforts in the comments section! However, before we get to this week’s answers I should point out that Andrew M. had his [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Partick Thistle F.C. (Saturday) Five wins in a row and another week in first place- not much to complain about if you’re a Staggies supporter! There’s good news on the horizon too- joint top-scorer Steven Craig has this match and one more before his convoluted (and unfair!) red card suspension ends. [...]

It was touch and go for a while there, but after three days without I now have lights, heat, and more importantly to the task at hand, internet access! Were it not for that last one this week’s answers I would have had to send telegrams to each and every reader to reveal the answers [...]

Republic of Ireland v. Andorra (Friday) This is another match with qualification implications. Ireland are currently in second place in Group B, but only one point behind first place Russia. Ireland should win this match handily (improving their goal differential) and move past the Russians into first place. To remain in first place Russia will [...]

Welcome back! It’s been kind of a weird and slow week around these parts and I was beginning to worry that there would be no answers submitted- especially as I have had to prepare this post about 12 hours ahead of time in order to make sure it was done in time. Harry, J. came [...]
