Coventry City. Between 1970 and 2018 they failed to finish in the top six of any division.

I managed 11. But I have to confess I only actually knew a total of 5 answers. The rest were just guesses so I'm not going to give up my day job.

Here's one. The 2006 cup final between Liverpool and West Ham was different to the previous four finals West Ham have played in.

How? And it's nothing to do with penalty kicks to sort out the winner. There is another reason.

Is it about the venue? Cardiff instead of Wembley?

No. Although you're right of course. There is another reason. It's to do with the teams involved in all the games.

Correct answer. I would say your prizewinner's cheque is in the post.

Except it isn't. :wink:

What did Charlie Paynter blame for West Ham's 1923 FA Cup Final defeat ?

More of a question, I suppose, but is there ever any other time you can remember, when West Ham were in a sequence of 4 London teams in the final league table?

IF we nudge into 6th place by the time we're all having wave and cheer for Mark Noble, we end up in a West, North, North, East run of teams.

For the first time?
