Fabregas will score one more than Nasri and Doyle will score one more than Fabregas.

Torres and Nasri will score four goals between them.

How many goals is each of the five players predicted to score?




Puzzle 2

there are 12 fans from Greece,

4 fans from Croatia,

15 from Denmark

and 11 from France.

How many England fans are in the bar?

Ohhh Q.2 is a bit risky depending on how you interpret it but as I see it,even though I have no interest what so ever in F******* I would still be in the number anyway

* goes to wash out mouth having used the F word

[Mikey]

What F word was that BB?

PM answers, all entries to be submitted following the conclusion of the match for analysis by the pundits.

I think I know now why I've been setting questions and not answering them - 'cos I'm thick!! Can I press the red button and see the results?

[mothhawk]

question 2 is easy if you think of the original daily puzzle posted by VC

question 1 I solved by trial and error - I hate algebra!

[mothhawk]

can we get a ruling that all questions should have an answer that can be related to food or beer,even very tenuously

You throw away the outside and cook the inside, then you eat the outside and throw away the inside....... What is it?

[bearded bloke]

Ohhh tricky,was gonna say coconut as it has a similar riddle,but that does not involve cooking

Need tea back in a bit .... *toddles off towards kettle musing & humming

[Mikey]

You throw away the outside and cook the inside, then you eat the outside and throw away the inside....... What is it?

My first guess was an egg, but why would you throw away the yolk.....

What if it was a chocolate egg?....no you don't cook that.....

Confucius, was a real pain in the behind.

Well done to Mothhawk, she's solved riddle one, chocolate buttons for you.

First to solve riddle 2 gets a kit kat to go with their well earned cup of tea.

I think one thread is enough for football. Lets not spoil other threads with that pernicious dalliance.
