The WAB Friday Quiz #109

All hail the big six! At the end of a week when England’s “elite” clubs tried to destroy football as we know it by forming a European Super League, we pay homage by dedicating the WAB Friday Quiz to the biggest and best clubs in the land.

Manchester United. Liverpool. Manchester City. Chelsea. Arsenal. Spurs. Where would the Premier League be without them? How would us smaller, insignificant clubs like Brighton cope if they were to take their ball and start playing against a couple of Spanish and Italian teams every week, instead of doing the Albion the honour of gracing us with their presence twice a season?

These 20 questions pay tribute to the big six by being all about them. We are asking you about that time Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup in consecutive seasons by Brighton. And when Manchester United lost back-to-back games at the Amex.

And when Brighton cost Arsenal Champions League football at the Emirates. And what happened for Manchester City to sack John Bond after losing to the Albion. And how Mauricio Mauricio Pochettino’s exit from Spurs was hastened by Aaron Connolly.

You probably get the picture. So enjoy this week’s effort, which serves as a reminder to us all of just how wonderful and elite the European Super League’s big six really are.
