Statistical Quizzes on the Football League

[ivansneck]

Hi Folks,

I'm going to start setting questions based on the whole history of the football league (including the so-called 'premier'), so everty game we'd all call a 'league' game.

Starting easy:

1. Which club has played the most league games since 1888?

[DangerousSausage]

Notts County.

Sounds like something to be proud of, but it's actually due to us spending more time in the lower divisions than the other founder members!

[ivansneck]

Correct Herr Wurst.

Question 2: Which League club has had the most number of goals in their matches since 1888 (for plus against)?

[Turkey_Twizzler]

Someone like man united or Liverpool ?

Is it Wolves? They are one of the league's founding members.

A Lancashire club beginning with 'B'?

(A sneaky way to get founder members Blackburn, Burnley and Bolton in one answer!)

[DangerousSausage]

Preston North End?

No, 13th, 15th and 17th respectively

[Dripsey3]

Stoke City?

[Elite_pie]

My final guess is Everton.

[Fozzy]

West Brom?

[Chris]

West Ham?

[super_ram]

Where a lot of these goals scored at The Baseball Ground?

[super_ram]

Or even Meadow Lane ?

56th despite their reputation

[ivansneck]

And the winner is Manchester United, so @ohstanleyaborah gets half a point!

Incidentally Notts are 18th overall and Forest 21st, about 200 goals ahead (boring, boring Forest!)

On that note 'boring' Arsenal are 4th all time...
