The Very Hard FF247 Quiz #1
Okay Ladies, Gents and the Inbetweenies, it is our pleasure to offer you the first of an occasional series of quizzes to entertain you during the International breaks or when I’m bored and have nothing better to do. Usual format is for 10 questions ranging from the child’s play for folks like Elle and Init, to the bloody ridiculous to keep the likes of Ivan and Cookie awake at night!
Now here’s the thing, we need you to post your answers in the same order as the questions; we know it’s bleedin’ obvious but we’ve seen you handle Harry & Lloyd’s……..
Any questions that you have no idea about you can either leave blank or use italics for a wild guess. As we slowly get the correct answers I might start giving out some clues for the tricky ones, or maybe not.
Also, please, please DO NOT post answers that you have Googled, because that just ruins the fun for everybody else. Kindly don’t spoil it for the others, ok? There is a question that I am sure that is impossible to know or guess, so we’ll know. There is the odd bonus point available too. Don’t ask for clarifications, the questions are what they are so just go for it.
So for our first, of hopefully many quizzes, your topic is ENGLISH managers as in Nationality. Questions cover the birth of the FA up to the present day. Football really did exist prior to Sky TV and Jim White!
Eyes down, game on!
Q1. Who was the last English manager to win a European trophy, guess the year to give yourself a bonus point?
Q2. Easy one, who was the last English manager to win the top-flight league in England?
Q3. Who is the English manager that is generally accepted as ‘the father’ of the modern game? Which was the first club he managed for a bonus point?
Q4. Who is the most successful English manager in top-flight football in England?
Q5. Who is the longest current serving English manager in League football?
Q6. Who is the longest serving English manager ever in League football?
Q7. Who was the 1st English manager to win back-to-back FA Cups? Correctly name the team for a bonus point.
Q8. Who was the 1st English manager to win the FA Cup with different clubs?
Q9. Who is the English manager with the most FA Cup wins? Which club for a bonus point?
Q10. England has the most FA Cup winning managers with 51, but how many titles?
Morning all I have hit the wc button I was fed up with my MF he it is please rate it any suggestions where can I get 0.1 m to change Wally to Richarlison or should I just put Maddison in
Richarlison is close to dropping…should do before Walcott so you should make that 0.1 there
Hughes or Pereyra ??????????????????????????????????????
Hi Silvers. If I was wildcarding I would have gone with Pedro. Just don’t get this sudden rush for Haphazard. I think Pedro will do as well as the other but you will have some good spare dosh for emergencies. It’s just my opinion.
Pererya
A chip for Champions League fantasy
That’d be great in FPL, scrub the free hit nonsense. I want one, nice please.
I agree. Love that no budget thing for a week.
We’ve all chatted about the chips, I like this one etc, but I’ve never even thought of that one, it’s brilliant.
That will be the biggest template ever 😆
You are assuming everyone will play it the same week, if the Bench Boost and TC were still in place, managers would be all over the place on what GW to play it.
Well, it’s very likely that the majority will go in a week when most of the big guns have good matchups and of course we know that you can’t have them all at the same time.
Anyway, I don’t think the FPL will ever introduce this chip.
That’s a great chip! Nice!
Here ya go
Sort out your own scores ladies, I’m too bloody lazy.
1. Sir Bobby Robson with Barca in 1997 Cup Winners Cup, 2 pts there for some of you. The last English club/manager combo was Howard Kendall with Everton in 1985. Wasn’t that the last time that they won anything Init?
2. Howard Wilkinson of Leeds Utd is the answer. Famously sold King Cantona for a few bob to Fergie, the rest as they say is history.
3. You now have a clue with Arsenal.
4. Yup, it’s Bob. For most fans when considering who the most successful ever manager in English football history is, Sir Alex Ferguson will spring to mind first. That’s fair enough – he won 38 trophies in his time as manager of Manchester United, including 13 Premier League titles. However, Liverpool have had someone better – Bob Paisley. The amount of trophies won through the Liverpool legend’s nine-year tenure is ridiculous. 20 in nine seasons. Significantly, from 1976-1983, the Reds enjoyed a period where they would win either the first division title or European Cup (now known as the Champions League) every year. Seven years where Liverpool fans would enjoy the victory of one of the two most sought after trophies in football.
5. Not even close, yet.
6. Dario Gradi has been associated for more than 30 years with Crewe Alexandra, with whom he is currently the director of football and also director of the Academy. Gradi had a 24-year first spell as manager of Crewe between 1983 and 2007. He stepped down from his managerial role in 2007, handing first-team responsibilities to Steve Holland, and became technical director. At that time, Gradi was the longest-serving manager of an English football league club. After two further spells as Crewe manager, he finally stepped down in November 2011 to focus on the club’s youth system.
7. I want an explanation from Init on this one!
8. Herbert Chapman was the 1st manager to win the FA Cup with 2 clubs: Huddersfield Town and Arsenal.
9. Nope
10. Nope. I suggest you dipsticks read the Q more carefully. We’re ranging from 6 to 140 ffs.
5. I’m calling Eddie Howe.
Good idea, maybe he knows the answer!
I did.
He told me Jim Bentley.
He’s correct.
thoughts on my team? 2ft 0.4m itb
Hi danny, it’s erm… different! Personally I’d be looking to downgrade on the mids, probably Dilva, and starting to reinvest those funds into plumping up the defence a bit.
afternoon all.. hope u r well. should we use the other articles to post our RMT or is it ok to post it here on the quiz one?
Well it might be better in the other one for more input, but hey, it’s a free world, get some answers right and we might even rate it.
This one is fine eresh, that’s what we’ve always done, i.e post whatever you like on the latest article. Gets messy jumping around otherwise. This is just a bit of ‘fun’ if folk want to partake. If you do though don’t get number 7 correct or the quizmaster loses his sh1t
