19) We won 2-0 which meant we didn't have any bearing on the outcome of the league title.
45) He deputised for Michael Thomas at right back. Viv Anderson left during the summer of 1987 and Winterburn joined us that summer so they weren't at the club at the same time.
Barnes is definitely one

celine George Graham did not finish his playing career at crystal palace, he had a short stint in the USA after palace
and as pointed out already Arsenal beat aston villa on last day of season 80/81, brian mcdermott who is now the reading manager scored one of his few goals for arsenal that day. Ipswich failed to beat middlesboro and so handed the title to villa
*Signing Ozil is a signing Bergkamp type moment for Arsenal. It changes things utterly.*
However, to the other trainspotter whose come on here, Barnes is in Surrey, its next to Richmond, so you arent having that.

a few comments...
Arsenal could have been wearing aways shorts in home matches last week, I would not remember or care.
surprise you hightlighted question 45 as a trick question, when same could be said for a few of the earlier ones, or maybe it's just me completely baffled.
who knew England played Saudi Arabia?
Theodore roosevelt - In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

26) Who was Paul Allen the brother of?
And the "trick" part of question 45 is that the answer is wrong
Barnes, historically part of Surrey and falling into the borough of Richmond, can be considered part of London due to its postcode so in the spirit of seasonal goodwill I am prepared to allow Goonerak a third of point on that question.
If anyone else want a row about my questions Im here all day.
But yes if you are going to be technical about it I meant cousin, to Martin and Clive.

There are two stations, both overground, Barnes Bridge and Barnes.
I lived in Barnes in my earliest years so I'm fairly well acquainted with the area.
