no idea but i'm pretty sure they're british. probably liverpool?

where did they play it to fit 130k in though? only stadium i can think of would of been the marakana in belgrade but i'm sure that was 110k max

 

[Bumble]

They got 130000 into Hampden, believe it or not. And no it's not Liverpool.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

rangers? if it's not rangers i got no idea

 

[Bumble]

nope not the scum

 

[Pistol]

Leeds United?

 

[Bumble]

Correct I assumed TT would guess Leeds given my tendancy to blow the horn of teams I support...

At World Cup 2002, two teams met twice. Who?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

turkey ripped off both times

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

between the 1970/71 season and 1979/80 season only four teams won the european cup. who were they?

bonus applause if you can tell us the streaks of all four teams in order

 

[Bumble]

Bayern won three in a row, i know that much

Scousers won it twice

Dunno about the others

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

2 out of 4 for bumble

liverpool won after bayern aswell. so a team won before bayern and another after liverpool

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

too tough for ya's? been a few days so here it is

Ajax 70/71; 71/72; 72/73
Bayern 73/74; 74/75; 75/76
Liverpool 76/77; 77/78
Nottingham Forest 78/79; 79/80

infact between the 69/70 and 83/84 season only teams from 3 countries won the european cup

England 3 teams 7 wins - Liverpool 4, Nottingham Forest 2, Aston Villa 1
Germany 2 teams 4 wins - Bayern München 3, Hamburger SV 1
Netherlands 2 teams 4 wins - Ajax 3, Feijenoord 1

funnily enough it was an italian team that won before and after the sequence - AC Milan in 68/69 and Juventus in 84/85. Milan beat Ajax and Juve beat Liverpool so the sequence could of gone on longer

Nottingham Forest also have won the european cup (2 times) more times than they have their domestic league (1 time)

how many teams are permitted to wear the UEFA Badge of Honour and who are they? and give reason why each team is permitted to wear it

 

[Dutchy]

By winning three CL in a row. Or 5 in History.

Liverpool
Real Madrid
Ajax
Bayern Munich
AC Milan

 

[Bumble]

Grr I knew that whole answer too...but seeing as JS didn't leave a question I'll go:


Out of the 20 English Premier League teams, which team has been the most tiers below the PL (or old first division) at any point since it's inception?

 

[Dutchy]

Derby?

 

[Bumble]

nope

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

would seem like a trick question to me

a stab in the dark ... manchester city? they were definately in third division once upon a time

 

[Bumble]

Nope. The team I'm thinking of was non-league as early as 30 years ago.

 

[Dragooner]

I know Bolton was a League Two side back in '88.

Fulham were also a League 2 side in 95-97...

Portsmouth also enjoyed a stint in League 2 in 79 and 80.

Reading have been in League 2 plenty of times in the last 30 years.

Wigan has been in League 2 several times.

In terms of being non-league nearly all of these and a few others have been in English Third Div South but that was all 50years ago...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

bolton? they only got promoted 10 years ago

 

[Twizzle]

Nope. The team I'm thinking of was non-league as early as 30 years ago.

non league = Leeds

but it couldn't be them, they are too good
