Lufc Talk - Quiz League

[Selby White]

While we've no football action to keep us occupied I thought we could try a Quiz League for those interested.

Here is how it will work :-
Randomly I'll ask 6 Multi Choice Questions then Publish the answers at a designated time.
You can PM your answers to me anytime in the 24 hours.
Don't even need to be intelligent just make some lucky guesses
Please No googling just your best educated guess otherwise its pointless.
I'll keep running score and publish the League Table after each round.
The League will run until end of April.
New players can join a any stage although will lose out on the rounds missed (still a bit of fun and an achievement to win individual rounds)

You only need to send your answers with the particular letter - eg, A-B-C-D-A-B as per order of the questions.
