I gave up after about 3 minutes having named only 4 of the team.

It's amazing how the mind plays tricks and makes you forget teams that were so recent.

Frightening how few I could recall.

I got 10 in a few mins but gave up on the last midfielder. It was only a current player and probably one of the easiest. Doh!

A truly pathetic effort from me. Gave up with 5 or 6 named including both scorers, which I did remember at least

Jesus, the good old days of no recognisable right back!! Did Petrov or Reo-Coker play there?

Gardner I'm guessing.

Got them all but the goalkeeper.

8 but the keeper threw me and kept spelling reo coker wrong

The Goalkeeper was the hardest one for me

Bizarrely the keeper was the first I got. But I always do that with these Missing Men, I get the harder ones but always miss a really obvious one.

I think I'd have to use a calendar to time me on that one.

1 then gave up! How bad is that?

I got them but it took me about 5 minutes.

Got it in 1:46. Quite pleased with myself.

I usually never get them all.

Carew and Sidwell were the ones I couldn't get.

I gave up having forgotten Taylor. It wouldn't let me submit NRC's name (Who knew they wanted a fucking hyphen).

I got the keeper but couldn't get the left-sided central midfield player.

That was tricky.

I hate these things about teams. 
Who remembers who played with whom?  I don't. Just like players!

Grrr.


Oh - and (in the words of The Sherriff, Alan Rickman) 'Cancel Christmas....'

Forgot about Gardner and Petrov, just about remembered Bouma as think he broke his leg the week later.

Forgot about Knight and Gardner but that was easily done.

A bit tricker today (http://www.football365.com/fun/missing-men)

Missed the two more obscure midfielders.

Title: Re: Missing Men
Post by: ADVILLAFAN on December 21, 2011, 12:54:29 PM

Missed the central midfielder. Could have sworn the goalkeeper was spelt differently.

Got 1:06. Quite happy with that but I don't think the fact half of the positions were completely wrong helped in the slightest!

3:08 on the Arsenal one. Keeper spelt wrong and the 10 letter midfielder screwed me a little bit because I was thinking of someone completely different. At least looking at that side we can see we have had worse sides than now.

Yep, the 10 letter midfielder got me too, and the 7 letter centre half got me on spelling.

I couldn't spell Enckleman, grrr!

Post by: TheSandman on December 23, 2011, 02:49:38 AM

I was doing fine until I got to the midfield where I managed to get the most difficult player but not three of the easier ones!

Might have something to do with the fact it's spelt wrong on there!

1-1 v Arsenal 050403 (http://www.skysports.com/fun_games/missingmen/0,,15144_7388577,00.html)
