2. Which two City managers have the highest win percentages with us in the FA cup?
3. Which four City managers have a record of played 1, lost 1 in the FA cup?
4. Which City manager has won more FA cup ties - Dave Jones or Frankie Burrows?

Number 4... Eddie May and Fred Stewart
7. Other than Swansea City, which other two Welsh sides have we faced in the FA cup?
Wrexham and Ton Pentre.
2. Solksjaer was 66%, does that get him in?
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.
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?
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.
Update:
1. Have we won or lost more games in the FA cup?
Won more
2. Which two City managers have the highest win percentages with us in the FA cup?
Solskjaer + ? (90s)
3. Which four City managers have a record of played 1, lost 1 in the FA cup?
O'Farrell, Whitehead + 2 others (1 surprising given his record 40s + 80s)
4. Which City manager has won more FA cup ties - Dave Jones or Frankie Burrows?
Burrows 20-18
5. Against which three sides have we played most often in the FA cup (currently two in Prem, one in Champ)?
Arsenal + 2 others. 1 should be very obvious.
6. While we've beaten Leeds on 4 occasions, there are six sides that we've beaten in the FA cup on 3 occasions. Oldham (P3W3), Orient & Southampton (P4W3D1) and Leicester (P4W3L1) are our best records, but which two other sides have we beaten 3 times?
Bristol City + ?
7. Other than Swansea City, which other two Welsh sides have we faced in the FA cup?
Wrexham + Ton Pentre
8. What is our largest FA cup win?
9. What is our largest FA cup defeat?
10. Have we won or lost more cup replays (eventually)?
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.
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!
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.
