Sometimes easy is nice! It's pretty rare that I get 100% correct on a sports quiz! Feeling proud of myself, even though I really just named major English cities.
I'm Australian and I probably know more about the Premier League than England itself (hence my account name). I officially apologise that I repeatedly tried Chelsea, Everton and Aston Villa
Very close together geographically, not too dissimilar culturally but you'd risk a stabbing if you were to conflate the two in front of a Magpies supporter or a Black Cats supporter.
Both places are insulted by the suggestion! Birmingham and West Brom (in the Black Country) may have merged into each other physically, but remain different places with different dialects that have a strong rivalry.
But then you'd have to say Wolves, West Brom, Walsall and Coventry are in with Villa and Blues, and with Sheffield you'd have to include Barnsley, Donny and Rotherham. Leeds/Bradford/Huddersfield, etc.
OTOH I don't think it's really sensible to say you have to play in City of London to be a London team. Would be a short list
League Champions of EPL: Manchester United (13 times), Chelsea (5), Manchester City (4), Arsenal (3), Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Liverpool (1):
Yeah Notts County are now playing a second season in the National League. They got relegated in 2019, and lost to NL play off final last year to Harrogate, going ok for now this year though.
Thanks! I'm not counting Greater Manchester though, just the City of Manchester, and Salford is it's own city. Otherwise we'd have Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton. And I'm local enough to know a Salfordian doesn't want to be known as a Manc.
Having been on this site ages, I still haven’t quite got round to making a quiz myself yet but thought it could be interesting to make one like this but by county rather than by city. I’m guessing I’d get all the usual objections though. Clubs in Birmingham area would be pretty straightforward as they’d mostly fall square in West Midlands. But then you’d have all the North West guys arguing over whether their particular club falls within Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside etc. Local identity politics in the UK is fairly daft. I’ve been at a comedy show where the guy mentioned Southend (my home town) and still gave a little cheer, even though I know fully well that it’s a shitebox and I left ten years ago!
Have a go at one Richie, it's just for fun after all. I've a few other football ones, including a football clubs in Yorkshire quiz. You're right though, Yorkshire (as a whole) is the only one with enough teams people wouldn't moan at. I live near Wigan and people still go on about being in Lancashire, or people from St Helens wondering why they're classed as Merseyside - It gets daft!
I legitimately tried a variety of ways to spell "Nottingham" for a minute, thought I have lost my mind, then googled just to realize that Notts County got relegated 5 years ago
Ha, I've done that on quizzes, when I'm convinced the answer should be there but I mustn't be spelling it right! Yeah they went and they've struggled to get back up since, been nearly men though, lost in the play offs this last season to eventual winners Grimsby by a 90+6th winner equaliser goal, then lost in extra time.
