I’d be genuinely surprised if people got all three without googling. I can give a clue if people like?

Thought Jermain Defoe would be the other, but after scoring in 17 consecutive seasons he went goalless this season before joining Rangers. Edit: Aaron Ramsey is the third one.

Ok, here’s a clue. {Spoiler}only one of the players has played for the same club for all the last ten seasons.

I was about to give a clue that said one of them won’t be making it eleven seasons in a row.

I was about to give a clue that said one of them won’t be making it eleven seasons in a row. I figured Walcott and Sturridge our reasonably easily, because they've been playing in the Premier League since their teens and have always been regular goalscorers. Ramsey was trickier because it never really occurred to me just how young he was when Arsenal signed him.

James Milner, Juan Mata & Vincent Kompany? Milner had a goalless 2017-18 season. Kompany went goalless in 2010-11 and 2014-15. Mata has only been in England for eight seasons. James Milner, Juan Mata & Vincent Kompany? Nope, nope and nope. Ohhhh Give me credit though, it is past 4am and I've been up for almost 24 hours! After some more thinking my next guesses are Theo Walcott, Danny Wellbeck, Jermaine Defoe

Just seen the answers. I would never have guessed Ramsay cos I thought his horrendous leg break would have put him out for too long. And Daniel Sturridge has been such an irrelevance the past few years I almost forgot that he even exists!

I know so much random pointless trivia about things and I have to admit if it hadn’t had been on the BBC earlier, this one would have passed me by. Like a few months ago I was part of a team in the pub quiz and the host asked a question that he thought no one would get....
Who is the only player to score in (and I mean the big clubs in these games) all three of the Merseyside, Manchester and Old Firm derbies? A lot of people actually know the answer but I was asked how the hell I got it right. It was simple, I remember hearing this fact years ago and it stuck in my head.
Of course, this useless piece of information probably pushed out an important fact that would have helped more in life than getting a f***ing point in a pub quiz years later! A quiz that we won by more than one point anyway.

Three pubs ran bi-weekly quizzes, and me (sports trivia), my best friends (music trivia), a co-worker (movie and TV), and one of my best friends' brothers (history) would routinely win each quiz by 20+ points. Eventually we were asked not to enter any more by the landlords, as other teams just stopped showing up, but the damage had been done and within a couple of months the quizzes ended.

Eventually we were asked not to enter any more by the landlords, as other teams just stopped showing up, but the damage had been done and within a couple of months the quizzes ended. My particular talent was music trivia. I could (probably still can) tell you what was #1 on any date from 1980-1998ish. Films was another of my strong points but I was a Cinema Manager for ten years, so it f***ing should’ve been. Me and a few friends used to do well at most quizzes but there were always other strong teams when it came to general knowledge or literature, something which we weren’t as strong on and we actually had a really good friendly rivalry with a lot of the other players. If the quiz was music though, they were f***ed as yours truly was an encyclopaedia when it came to that. Of course, these were in the days before smartphones, so you didn’t have some f***witt who decided that they absolutely have to win and googling everything to win a f***ing pub quiz. The thing is, people thing I’m bragging when I say that I know this stuff and that it was “amazing” how I could remember it and that I should go on TV quiz shows. I never cared that much about it and always treated it as a bit of fun and had no desire to do anything other than pub quizzes. The fact remains though, unless it’s in a quiz, this kind of thing has next to f***-all relevance in life. Ask me what was the Christmas number one of 1988 and I’ll tell you without hesitation that it’s Mistletoe and Wine by Cliff Richard. Ask me what I had for dinner yesterday, then I’m f***ing hopeless.

I have a question, since my Man Utd might end up losing a champions spot because of their ranking in the premier league, should they pull a miracle and reach the Champion League finals, would that get them a spot to next year’s tournament?
I read somewhere that if you win the champions, you’re automatically classified for the next four tournaments and if you finish in second place, you’re classified only for next year. Is it true?

I know the Bundesliga don’t get enough love here, but RB Leipzig is playing Leverkusen. Holy shit this kids are just twenty and they’re the future. Who knows, your team may end up poaching most of them when it’s all said and done Pay attention to Kai Havertz, Julian Brandt, Leon Bailey, Willi Orban, Marcel Sabitzer and Timo Werner.

The only way to guarantee a spot in the following season’s Champions League is to win it (or the Europa League). Being runners-up doesn’t get you shit.

Diego Costa is still a moron. Straight red card for shouting obscenities at referee about referees mother.
