Like clockwork, we’re back
On a scale of 1-10, how much have your Mondays improved over the past few weeks with the introduction of the FootballJOE Pub Quiz? Don’t answer that. I’m sure it’s 10. Whose Monday blues wouldn’t be softened by five rounds of footballing trivia?
This is the first edition of the quiz during an international break, so the first round, focusing on The Week That Was, contains no Barclays action. Those of you who don’t completely switch off from football during international breaks will be rewarded in this opening round.
Later on we have a round on past transfer deadline days, shirt sponsors, the World Cup, and of course, the ‘final’ round, all about finals.
I would say good luck but you shouldn’t need it. Crack on.
