• 14:02:45: Forgot to add: Apart from the fact that all three of them have managed England.
  
• 14:04:47: Hmm. No one's come close yet. Think international football, please.
  
• 14:06:52: Q1 closed. @causticsarky and @RahulxC get it right. The three of them managed England teams that failed to qualify for the European C’ships.
  
• 14:07:53: Q2: What does “Borussia” in Dortmund or Monchengladbach actually mean? And where does it derive its name from?

• 14:11:54: A2: @RahulxC (3) @causticsarky (2) and @bastardowski (1) - Borussia - Latin for Kingdom of Prussia. Derivation - brewery in the region.

• 14:20:06: I am giving points for Hellas Verona and Chievo Verona (il derby della scala) and Messina and Reggina (derby dello strettos)
  
• 14:20:33: A3: Hellas Verona/Chievo Verona (2002/03) - il derby della scala and Messina v Reginna (2006/07) - derby dello strettos.

• 14:29:47: Q5: Another ABCD: Two clubs A and B came together in 1911 to form this very famous club C. Apart from their (cont) http://tl.gd/3aj2kc
  
• 14:30:22: @RahulxC Thank you, Sire. One of those iffy ones. Wanted to reveal SK first, but didn't.
  
• 14:34:49: Want a hint, anyone?
  
• 14:36:21: Hint: They've been managed before by the likes of Vicente del Bosque and Jean Tigana.
  
• 14:39:39: A5: A - “Validecesme” and B - “Basire” C- Besiktas D- first/only undefeated winners of the Super Lig in 1992. No points for this.
  
• 14:40:23: Fastest to cracking Besiktas - @WazHaz @farisky @raytida.
  
• 14:41:04: @RahulxC Validecesme and Basire formed what is known as Besiktas today.

• 14:43:00: @elegantlywasted Super Lig as it is known today, mate.
  
• 14:45:59: Special mention to @sidvee. Jim Standen is a brilliant crack. Not the correct answer, though. You can find his name on the West Ham honours.
  
• 14:46:49: A6: Geoff Hurst. Played a county game for Essex as a wicketkeeper, scored a blob. The rest is history. West Ham and England WC winner '66.
  
• 14:47:19: Fastest to answer: @ggmarquez (3) @ashwat (2) and @raytida (1). Easy one, I guess. :)
  
• 14:47:53: Q7: Connect: Hallelujah FC, Sydney United, Dempo FC and Kashima Antlers.
  
• 14:48:50: @RahulxC I'll be finishing up soon. Stick around, mate.
  
• 14:50:56: Interesting reply from @ashwat about all four changing their names due to religious reasons, but nope - not what I am looking for.
  
• 14:52:24: A7: Yep, they did won the first league titles *after the league was restructured* in their respective countries. @bastardowski @RahulxC yep.
  
• 14:52:56: By restructured, I meant the leagues went professional. India/Japan/Korea/Aus had a semi-pro league before they were revamped.
  
• 14:53:16: Q8: Easy one, I guess. What is CE Europa’s claim to fame?
  
• 14:54:28: And yes, last four questions after this, I reckon. 2 easy, 2 tough.
  
• 14:55:37: Q8 closed due to overwhelming replies. Answer: Along with Barca and Espanyol, founder members of the La Liga. Simble, I see.
  
• 14:56:07: Q8 winners - @ashwat (3) @raytida (2) @RahulxC (1)
  
• 14:56:47: Q9: Solpa difficultu, but try. - Which is the only non-Spanish team to compete in the La Liga?
  
• 14:58:49: I mean, if you Google saying "non-Spanish team to compete in the La Liga", you ain't digging gold. I hope not, at the least.
  
• 15:00:05: @RahulxC Matter of seconds, mate. His tweet appeared first on my timeline, hence I gave it to him. Nothing else.
  
• 15:01:11: FC Andorra has never played the La Liga. Think *slightly* out of the box.
  
• 15:03:42: Tough one this is. I have an answer, but looks googled to me.
  
• 15:05:02: A9: Maghreb Athletic Tetouan- now plays in Morocco (Athletic Tetouan played a season in La Liga in 1961/62).
  
• 15:06:05: I have two answers by two lads here. Both of them have used the French aigu in Tetouan. Don't know if that amounts to Google. You decide.
  
• 15:06:50: Q10: Which non-Soviet club team has played in two different European leagues? (Again, be specific. No Russia/Ukraine/Slaven etc)
  
• 15:08:32: I said NO Soviet/Slaven/Slavic (Yugoslavia etc). Non-Soviet.
  
• 15:09:34: Repeat: No Soviet-clubs. No Slavic clubs. No Slaven, No Nordic clubs. This is plain whacky, I know.
  
• 15:10:22: And nope, not Cardiff City, though technically it's quite sound. Think post-World War.
  
• 15:11:43: Hint. This team recently got promoted in the Regionaliga West (IV) and now plays in the 3rd Liga.
  
• 15:12:27: @RahulxC This is plain freaky. You're getting close. I said post-World War, actually.
  
• 15:13:07: Want me to close the question? It's something interesting. You'll like the answer, actually.
  
• 15:14:39: A10: 1. FC Saarbrucken (FC Saarbruck in Ligue 2 in France and now plays in the German League). Was representing (cont) http://tl.gd/3ajdrv
  
• 15:15:53: Last two questions coming up...English league based.
  
• 15:16:32: Q11: Apart from his direct transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United, what is Viv Anderson’s claim to fame with club and country?
  
• 15:18:05: I have the international side of the answer, give me the club-bit. Specifically, Manchester United.
  
• 15:19:54: Q11 closed. Got my answers. First player to be signed by Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager & first black England international.
  
• 15:21:10: Q11 winners: Part-part, actually. Club (@abhinav_hee_haw, @raytida and @ashwat). Country (@sidvee @elegantlywasted and @wickedsyam)
  
• 15:21:45: Actually, I am not giving points to those saying "Black players to represent club and country"..it's just England.
  
• 15:21:56: Last question coming up....
  
• 15:23:36: Q12: Connect: Ricky Ponting and Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Very specific, please.
  
• 15:24:49: Hint: Connect the two to give me a football club. As simple as that.
  
• 15:26:22: @RahulxC My bad, actually. I added that once the flurry of replies re: international football came in.
  
• 15:28:35: Okay. Connect the two. Think laterally. You'll get somewhere.
  
• 15:29:16: Okay. Let me close this question. Tough it seems.
  
• 15:29:58: Answer being SC Tasmania Berlin. Ricky Ponting (Tasmania) and the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei (being a Berlin stadium). Duck.
  
• 15:30:16: Now, the real lastest question. Easy one to sign-off, actually.
  
• 15:31:13: Last Q: Connect: Ashley Cole, Freddie Ljungberg, Patrick Vierra and Dennis Bergkamp. [Easy as you like, Sirs]
  
• 15:31:57: @raytida Non-googleable machan. Konjam thinking vendamaa?
  
• 15:32:41: Hey. I know they played for Arsenal. What's next?
  
• 15:34:03: No unbeaten. No FA Cup. No double. Nothing. Splash some good answers.
  
• 15:34:45: @raytida Mate. Tasmania and Berlin form SC Tasmania Berlin. It's just a matter of lateral thinking. Fair enough. Duck.
  
• 15:35:26: Where are all those Arsenal fans? Come on, lads. Easy as it can get.
  
• 15:36:36: Hint: They're holders of a *joint-record*. Think joints. NOT.
  
• 15:38:02: I am almost going to take you to this answer and let you go for it. Think league titles. Or maybe not. Or maybe.
  
• 15:39:04: Okay. Show of hands, Arsenal fans? COME ON. ANSWER THIS.
  
• 15:40:07: Answer time beckons...
  
• 15:40:43: A13: Hold the joint record for max. no of runners-up medals in the PL. Cole (3 with Arsenal and 2 with Chelsea), rest with Arsenal.
  
• 15:41:41: Credit to @wickedsyam - Better late than never. The lad has a badge on his DP. He'd better know it, no?
  
• 15:42:23: Okay. Sorry to say, I lost track of the scores with some of the tough questions in the middle. Brilliant quizzing all of you.
  
• 15:43:20: *Clap Clap* for @RahulxC @ashwat @raytida @elegantlywasted @causticsarky @abhinav_hee_haw @ggmarquez and other winners. Keep it up.
