Bill 1,788 Posted March 21, 2013 This one is based around a couple of old programmes (and the players listed as playing in those games) S''oton v City 1983 1. Can you name two future City managers playing for City ? 2. The two England keepers playing for each side ? 3. The ex Saints player playing for City ? 4. Two ex binners playing (one each side) ? 5. Which City player was on loan to the Saints when they met at Carrow Road earlier in that season ? 6. Future City manager who played for QPR reserves against Saints reserves the week before ? Swindon v City 1988 1. Three future City managers/coaches playing for City ? 2. One (now) TV pundit playing for Swindon ? 3. Two future PL coaches (not the three above) playing for City ? 4. Two future City coaches playing for Swindon ? 5. Former City keeper (post 2007) just signed on loan for Swindon the week before this game ? 6. Two future local football coaches playing for City ? Could I suggest that you hold fire until midnight before posting up answers so as to give others a chance to have a go (it''s aimed at testing you knowledge not how quick you can look/post up stuff)by all means post up if you have got the answers, but as Swindon v City 19881. yes2. yes3. no ..........etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 21, 2013 2. The two England keepers playing for each side ? in case that might confuse, it is one England keeper for each team on the day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 22, 2013 Why is everyone just using initials? Even Uncle Albert''s in on it now![:@] Just answer it in full and basque in the glory!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 22, 2013 "basque in the glory" basque ? freudian slip there, methinks "confused by the post 2007" I added the date as the clue was pretty obscure and we have had a fair number of keepers since 1988, so that narrowed the dates down I''ll leave it until later this evening before putting up the answers, allow some of the ''seniors'' to have a go - many who, at the moment, will be waiting for Countdown or are still stuggling home from the Day Centre so please hold fire for a few more hours, ta ps while you are waiting you might like to work out who was the Swindon manager at that game and how is he linked to our current manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcstar 291 Posted March 22, 2013 [quote user="City1st"]eh ? [/quote]Well you like picking up on grammar and spelling mistakes don''t you, so I''m correcting one of yours.It''s 1980s, not 1980''s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 22, 2013 the apostrophe is there to indicate the possessive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfcstar 291 Posted March 22, 2013 [quote user="City1st"]the apostrophe is there to indicate the possessive [/quote]Are you arguing a grammatical fact? If you are talking about something that happened during the decade it is then 1980s, there is no need for an apostrophe. It doesn''t belong to anyone or itself, unless you are talking about the year 1980 alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lets be aving you! 0 Posted March 22, 2013 "the apostrophe is there to indicate the possessive" Incorrect, and ncfcstar is right on this. Decades do not require apostrophes. Grammar police Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john in exile in leeds 4 Posted March 22, 2013 The Swindon manager would have been Lou Macari, with John Trollope as his assistant.I think City 1st was trying to appear a youngster, in that all plural''s (sic) now should of (sic) been written definately (sic) with apostrophe''s (sic) !

Bill 1,788 Posted March 25, 2013 "The Swindon manager would have been Lou Macari, with John Trollope as his assistant." but what is the connection to our manager ? ps where is young master nutty as he is normally spot on regards stuff like this, hope he is well ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john in exile in leeds 4 Posted March 25, 2013 Chris Hughton''s assistant is Paul Trollope - son of John Trollope. Or is there another connection you''re looking for ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 25, 2013 yep not tenuous either something they have both done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john in exile in leeds 4 Posted March 25, 2013 I thought the Trollope connection was a good link between the two managers! But if you want another one, they have both managed Birmingham for a season. Will that do ? ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,531 Posted March 25, 2013 Good quiz.. shame I missed it! My internet has been down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 25, 2013 You can always use it on one of your quiz nights, presuming your ''punters'' have the good sense to stay away from such madhouses as this and so haven''t read it. Meanwhile maybe you could tell us what linked us and S''oton in 73/74 and 04/05, and what was noticable from 73/74 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,531 Posted March 25, 2013 Ha! That''s an easy one for us oldtimers. The link was relegation and was it the team that was relegated with us and Saints in 74/75 that was noticeable? If you tell the young people of today that team was relegated they won''t believe you.... they won''t[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 25, 2013 Not quite we went down with them then and in 08/09 noticable was Man U in 73/74, but there was something else about 73/74 ................. and no peeking ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john in exile in leeds 4 Posted March 25, 2013 Was it that we knocked Southampton out of the league cup in 73/74 ?Should also add that Lou Macari was a member of the Man U team that got relegated ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted March 26, 2013 It was, as our Top of the Form regular young master nutty has it, the first season that three clubs were relegated though that mattered little to us as we were bottom anyway we also had our own three day week - we didn''t turn up on a saturday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
