The pic in Q3 is weird. It's like a strange Ben Mee/Chris Wood morph. I had to study it for ages before finally getting in right.

Too easy. I remember a bloke on Mastermind who's specialist subject was Burnley FC. I actually got more than him because he refused to answer a certain question. What was the question?

That was disappointingly easy.

I was hoping it would keep me occupied for a bit longer than that.

Thing is DA, not all of us were there the day the club was founded. Yes, I answered the eighth question incorrectly. :(

Got 10/10 at my second attempt.

Good work, I got 9 at my second go but that bumble bee question really stumped me. I got upset and refused to have a 3rd go

Yea, it made me really have to think about that one.
Luckily it's not called 'The Next, Top shop, Outlet Stadium '

You could always attempt the other 19 if you're at a loose end ;)

Yes. The question was "who did Burnley play in their floodlights inauguration match ".

Fair play to the BBC for including all 20 clubs - no point making it impossible if for example as a Burnley fan you want to try the Watford quiz.

Relieved to get 10/10 first go - don't overthink it go with the obvious answer but agree there are a couple of banana skins in there for the u40s

I tried the Arsenal one as well and lost. Shows I'm a true Claret! :-)

"Arsenal, where's that?"

I did surprisingly well at the Norwich one, but there were some inspired guesses.
They may have got us unmuddled with Barnsley but they somehow have a picture of Peter ward on the Brighton top goalscorer question instead of whoever it was that had their name as the real answer.
