I'll be joining this now. I took the test and probably guessed 5 or 6 of the 11. I'm seriously out of touch with English and German football these days. Thankfully I still have somewhat of a groove in Calcio.

3) The beginning of Gennaro Gattuso’s reign as AC Milan manager has been short of Christmas cheer, with one of the worst moments coming in a 2-0 defeat two days before Christmas at home to which side?

A – Atalanta. In-form Atalanta inflicted a damaging defeat on Gattuso’s men within a week of Milan’s 3-0 defeat away at Hellas Verona. Fortunately, a 1-0 success in the Coppa Italia quarter final clash with rivals Internazionale granted Gattuso some much needed relief. 67% answered correctly.

Although the follow up was forced over the line, the referee stopped the game and awarded the red card and a penalty to Barcelona which was duly converted by Leo Messi. 83% answered correctly.

 

6) Early-season league leaders Valencia slipped further from the title chase on the same day, suffering a 1-0 home defeat to which team?

Yeah so like I said, couple of days, six weeks, what's even the difference?

The final round will be posted before the end of this week so that I can concentrate on running the last man standing challenge.
