REMEMBER: If you wish to take part in this game, you must PM your answers to me. Discussion of the answers in any form in this thread (or indeed elsewhere) is not permitted, and I'll have to penalise you for cheating or attempting to influence others' answers.

Round 8 will be open until Tuesday, 4 May (at roughly the same time as this, probably?)

Sam "one week in the job" Allerdyce, also tops Sir Alf.

yeah Sven winning that question was odd to me... he managed us nearly 20 years ago and didn't really acheive anything remarkable.

I went for Keegan because I thought he was a big enough name to outweigh the recent options (I knew that Capello, Hodgson, McClaren, Allardyce etc. wouldn't win)

Some of these answers?

I reckon people have been sending their pointless answers into you Shaun.

James Hunt?

It was news to me that Nico Rosberg won a season...my F1 knowledge ended in around 2008 when he was still an up-and-coming nobody :laugh:

I guess people just didn't think of Boxing? By far a more well known sport than badminton. I must admit, Badminton never entered my thoughts for a second.

Also, what was it about the 100m hurdles for the heptathlon question that made it so popular?

I expected tighter scores for that question. Didn't expect a near on landslide.

Poor showing here as well.

How did I do that? :hehe:

...I’m not sure that question 14 will work for Pointless....it could be so obscure and very time taking to Google to confirm ...?...is there any guidance you can give me for these like with the sport ones, Shaun...?..

...well done btw...Cherie, Shaun, Matt, Alf and Jaxie.../...the top 5...:love:..

I think it's just because Badminton is the closest to being a ball sport without actually being one if that makes sense

it's basically a "personal opinion" question so nothing's factually correct, but at the same time nothing is technically wrong either

I said Boxing too, never even thought of Badminton either, I briefly considered F1 because there was an F1 question on the list
