admira Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Hi. So here is my new daily challenge! As the title says, just name the year (not the season) AND the opponents from the line-up, score, and scorer. A nice easy one to start. richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home to Manchester United in the League Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg... we were between Jewell and Clough manager-wise so it must be the first-half of the season (seems early for a semi-final though) so I will say 2008 (?)

Thanks for the generous 👏 @admira and @Reggie Greenwood but I checked my answer after I posted it and all I will say is that it could be improved upon! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Wasn’t it January 2009? admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It's Man Utd, when David Lowe took charge for 1 game as a caretaker, so it'll be 2009 if it's not 2008 just before Cloughie joined. admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admira Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 I'm just going to put a shameless plug to my football predictions competition on here, as some of you seem to enjoy my trivia posts. https://www.cognitoforms.com/Footycomp/footycomp202324 Full details are in the Football chat forum. It only takes ten minutes to complete and already over 60 people have entered but I anticipate 100+ by deadline day (Saturday August 5th). I have several entries from DCFC fans and would love to have more. Cheers Ramrob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we followed it up with an away draw at Spurs in midweek, then lost an away game the following weekend (Villa?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
