Cheers Tomous, this was a welcome and much needed distraction, very appreciated :wub:

Can't believe Lukaku is the third most expensive player!

Tomous wrote:Unfortunately, teh bork didn't put down the reason for the sequence on that round which cost him...wait for it...yep, 4 points that would have put him top.

Yeah I did not know that was a thing and clearly didn't read the question. The thing is I knew all the sequences and what they were :lol:

Anyway thanks for doing this, it was an enjoyable way to spend 15 minutes.

Yeah I suspected you knew each sequence as all your answers were right :lol:

I gave you the United one as you typed out your logic

And they said "show your workings" would never result in anything.

Well I've learnt a valuable lesson.

Aye for the next quiz we do, I'm writing everything down!
