Sorry, nearly forgot about this one, answers can be found -----> here!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Some good questions in there!

 

As for question 16 - didn't Woolwich Gypsies finish bottom one season in the early part of the 20th Century, yet the cheating b*stards managed to squirm their way out of relegation??

 

 

[ESG]

they did indeed, abckhanders were as rife then as today

 

Judas £20K fine...?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yep. Fining him a day's wages is gonna really trouble him, isn't it. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

As for Spurs starting the "Sol is Gay" rumours - what rubbish. He brought all that on himself when he was found in bed with Marc Overmars!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

 

[pabird]

The gooners came second bottom when the rules were 2 down 2 up

At the end of that season the rules were changed for one season only making it 1 down 1 up

The team 2nd top denied promotion as the gooners were denied relegation were the Spurs

They were establishment brown nosing turds then just as they are now
