Arthur Orton Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 That really was a magnificent week, second in the league and beaten in cup semis in a playoff. Always the bridesmaid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Re: a wooden spoon. P+B Quiz League historians back in the early days of the league (2016 - what a heady time that was), we actually doled out black stars for finishing bottom. I think we discontinued the practice as it was a bit off-putting to teams thinking of joining the league. Sad to think that of the 21 teams shown in the league above, only 8 still participate in the league. GBNF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI after a revamp to their web site they now have a quiz 7 days a week. Still behind a paywall though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, we only had the Guardian for a few months before they canned it. To be fair, I'm pretty happy with the Quizoftheday ... even though their questions range from the ridiculously easy to the completely obscure. Oh, and on the topic of the Guardian quiz ... as I was raking through this thread, I came across possibly the finest quiz to be found on the Internet. https://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2014/apr/04/daily-quiz-4-april-2014 10/10 Edited October 13, 2019 by Cardinal Richelieu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Times Up!! Rip roaring gang this weekend were Best there has ever been Play Off @The DA He went through the 600 goal milestone last season. So, it's less than 600. I'll guess 1 in 20 goals with the head. 30 headed goals. v @German Jag A stab in the dark, 65. You must beJjoking Play Off @NJ2Will take a total stab in the dark at 47. v @The Captain NO SCORE Fitba - Lionel Messi has scored many a goal, however how many goals with his head for Barcelona? 22 Congratulations to @The DA with his well worked out set piece, unlucks @German Jag with his back post near miss, also congratulations to @NJ2 who was clearly unmarked as @The Captain forgot his boots & never got stripped. Again no promotion this weekend, it just shows the financial gap between leagues at the moment, the brain cells are simply not filtering down. UEFA style cartel. Bank Holiday Monday here gents, have a lucky week everyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Not true. Of the current P+B quiz league alumni, 8MilBU, Moomintroll, Snobot, Nkomo-A-Gogo and Blootoon87 also have nothing to show for their efforts. You are, however, the only founding member of the P+B quiz league never to have won any gold, silver or bronzeware, which is why it takes me such great pleasure to award you with this keychain to commemorate your achievement. Aye, thanks for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
