A couple of weeks ago someone who supports this blog through a donation suggested that, while he enjoyed the seven decades quizzes, he wouldn’t mind something a bit more contemporary. I replied that I’d try and do something along those lines during the international break and so here is a quiz about the teams City faced in the Championship last season.
There’s a question on all twenty three teams we played with the answer in each case being someone who was in their squad in 20/21.
A few words of advice, I don’t think you’re going to get many of these questions right without calling up the relevant team’s 20/21 season on Wikipedia. All of the answers appear in Wikipedia in the squad lists for the club the question is about. Some of them will be fairly easy to get once you see that, but others will need more research, although, I’d say they can all be answered with a bit of patience.
All of the questions are in the form of cryptic clues and I’ll post the answers some time towards the weekend;-
Barnsley – Cut and shut?
Birmingham – Where a Navajo Indian would live in Glasgow perhaps?
Blackburn – One of James, Charles, William, Mary or Anne, by the sound of it, drinking, for example, a pint of beer?
Bournemouth – Crown doctor?
Brentford – Churchillian ginger?
Bristol City – Place for soldiers to queue?
Coventry – Blessed son of Shakepeare?
Derby – A combination of a crooked nose and a healthy edible plant?
Huddersfield – Caledonian euphoria?
Luton – Light fruit.
Middlesbrough – Scotsman’s answer to Oliver Twist?
Millwall – Defender of the people’s puncture?
Norwich – Affectionate spring?
Nottingham Forest – Dancing pig?
Preston – Nail saucepans?
QPR – Lime tree hill near ditches?
Reading – Lover of Wolves turns bad?
Rotherham – Little King and farmer?
Sheffield Wednesday – Local family bonds?
Stoke – God is my judge, it’s a washing place?
Swansea – Strong willed warrior, yet also a young pup?
Watford – One who laughs comes out on top?
