2. Solksjaer was 66%, does that get him in?

Indeed, as surprising as it is. The other is another unexpected from the 90s.

1. Have we won or lost more games in the FA cup?

Well as you can only lose one a season, but win quite a few (if you’re lucky) I reckon we’ve won more than we’ve lost?

3. Which four City managers have a record of played 1, lost 1 in the FA cup?

Any of our recent crap managers? Mick, Morison, Harris?


PS
Your quizzes are always much appreciated.

1. Yes, won more, but 101 to 97 defeats.

3. Only 1, and none of those you mentioned.

Thanks, appreciate the comment.

2 Kenny Hibbitt? We had a run to the 4th round in 98, I think.

3 Dean Whitehead was one of them. Yorath and Osman too?

[the other bob wilson]

4 is which manager won more ties - Dave Jones or Frank Burrows...

I’ll go for Burrows.

Frank O’Farrell had a played one, lost one record in the FA Cup I think.

I’d say Arsenal could well be one of the answers to question 5.

We had runs to the Fourth Round (as a Third Division club) and Fifth Round under Jimmy Andrew’s so I’ll try him as one of the two managers with the best win percentage.

3 Dean Whitehead was one of them. Yorath and Osman too?

We did, but not under Hibbitt.

3. Whitehead is correct.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

I’ll go for Burrows.

4. Correct.

3. O'Farrell is right.

Not Andrews. The answer has already been wrongly given to a different question.

Is the other manager in question 2 Kenny Hibbitt?

That clown Graham Williams as one of the answers to number 3? I take it that the other one is the title winner in 46/47, Bill McCandless?

Leeds and I'll try Man City for number 5.

Right with all bar Hibbitt but we're talking mid later 90s.

[the other bob wilson]

it's Osman then is it? Must admit I had trouble remembering who the manager was at that time, let alone twenty odd years later!

It is.

I can't see any more takers for the others, so here goes.

Remaining side we've beaten 3 times - Enfield.

Biggest win - 8-0 Vs Enfield, 1931.

Biggest defeat - 6-1 at Villa, 1929.

We lost 24 replays, won 23.

Someone got the 8-0 against Enfield didn’t they? I’d never have got them for that beat three times question though because I was just not thinking in non league terms and yet all of those games, bar one I think, were played during my time supporting the club.


Thanks Eric, great quiz.

Thanks Eric, great quiz.

Apologies to The Bloop. I missed that.

Who'd have thought Solskjaer was such an FA cup success lol!

I was going to ask for a list of non-league and lower division sides that have beaten us but that's too painful!
