[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

How can Laz have 4/5 I change 1 of Laz's answers and I'm on 2/5

Surely the only logical options would be 3/5 or 5/5?

 

This is confusing!

[Rob_the_Saint]

Oops! sorry about that, you did get 3/5. No.s 3 and 5 were wrong.

[Laz]

The voice, I noticed that too but arrived at it by a different method so didn't say anything!

 

So how am I doing now?

[Rob_the_Saint]

All correct, the correct answers were:

 

E FA Cup

C Mansfield

A Pitch invasion

D 1923

C 1887

 

Phew!

[Laz]
