kurtsimonw Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ah yes, but Jas's claim was: "Sunderland were the last team to win the league in striped shirts in 1936". Which is indisputably true, as no other team won the league in striped shirts in 1936. I was weighting for someone to bring up how it was incoreect grammatickally. Of course you didn't do that on purpose! No but I noticed once I viewed my message after I had posted it but I was too busy to bother changing it. Didn't you notice my other mistakes on the latter post? My "Of course you didn't do that on purpose!" was a sarcastic remark to the word 'weighting', which is why I highlighted it. Sorry, shoulda made that clearer and I should really stop being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 4, 2008 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sunderland were the last team to win the league in striped shirts in 1936. Liverpool's 1982/83 & 1983/84 shirt was striped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted June 25, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2008 Aston Villa is the second Midlands football club to be associated with Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland's team in the United Soccer Association was the Cleveland Stokers, who were essentially Stoke City's reserves (the USA's late May - late July schedule allowed for the importation of whole sides from other clubs). The USA had some interesting deviations from the standard rules of football, the most notable being the suspension of the offside rule on free kicks. The backers of the USA initially petitioned FIFA (which agreed to consider the USA as the official top division league for the United States) for a dispensation to completely dispense with the offside rule; suspension of the rule on free kicks was thus a compromise. Villa become the Atlanta Chiefs for the 1969 NASL International Cup (likely managed by Phil Woosnam). For the regular season that year, the Chiefs would have their own side, one of whose players, Kaizer Motaung would return to South Africa the next year and establish Kaizer Chiefs FC.

SimonThePieman Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Rutland, the smallest county in the UK is only the smallest for half of the year. The other half of the year the smallest county is the Isle of White. Now, can anyone who doesn't watch QI tell me why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NibblyPig Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 When the five boroughs of New York joined (in 1898 I think)... it became the biggest amalgamation of a city ever. It (by far) eclipsed the previous largest amalgamation, which was... ... wait for it... Buda and Pest joined to form... ... wait for it... Budapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NibblyPig Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I might be wrong on this... but the two closest capital cities (excluding the Holy See and Rome) in the world are: Brazzaville (Congo) and Kinshasa (Dem.Rep.Congo) which are about 7 miles away from each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 25, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2008 When I was a kid I thought it was hilarious when I found out there were places called Jaffa and Fray Bentos.
