18. Missed out on two of the Englishmen with 2. One was fairly obvious, the other less so (as a player).

My last one was the Englishman with 2 above the Danish player. I only put his name in because I knew he was English  :D

Got 54 without looking at the hints (apart from a few that I just caught with my gaze).
Spoiler
Needed the clues for Lambert, Diao (still have no recollection of him scoring), Morientes and stupidly Wijnaldum.

No. But...
Spoiler
Seem to recall Suarez being agreed a day or two before deadline day, but must have only been finalised then. Whereas Carroll was a proper late deadline day signing. And they were introduced at the same time.

Shelvey signed in the summer of 2010 I think. Or was it 2011? Definite summer signing either way.

I think Shelvey was agreed under Rafa, but only came in over the summer

Suarez was definitely a done deal on the Friday I'm sure. I remember being in Torremolinos and arrived Friday afternoon. Celebrated buck naked in the shower when my mate burst in to tell me we'd signed him. I also put on my out of office that I'm off to 'Torresmolinos' for a long weekend. Twat.

NAME THE STADIUM (Sim City edition)

Twenty stadiums, posted in four groups in roughly increasing levels of difficulty.  All are in Europe.  I've cropped widely so there are natural features as clues.  The images are taken from satellite mapping - I suppose you could ace the quiz by scouring google earth, but I'd think a little bit less of you for it.

A few further ground rules:

1. I haven't rotated the images, so the north-south orientation might also be a useful clue - if there's a river running up & down it's unlikely to be Newcastle, for example;
2. The only photoshopping I've done is to disguise the names in a couple of places, for example if they're written on the seating;
3. There are a handful of ringers i.e. they are stadiums, but not football stadiums.

Have at it.

These three are correct, the other two are not.  B6 is I believe the only one with an international border in the frame.

PS the teams are all habitually (though not always) top division sides, you don’t need to get as obscure as Shrewsbury.

Correct.  A railway under both ends, which seems unusual - not sure if the uncovered part pokes over it but the other end is definitely built over the rail line.

Tremendous sleuthing!  It’s Dens Park, yes - you might have thought the number of stands a ground should have would be a settled question, but not in Dundee.
