Bonus points for you! Same could be said for a few grounds.. i mean, it's Manchester on the Map, not Manchester United... but then that would mean there would just be Manchester City (FC) and they need at least one decent team there, so Man Utd would have to stay.... i win.

The name of the only British football team that is not actually a place that exists.

Does that make sense? You can go to Chelsea, Hull, Cardiff etc...but you can't actually go to this place.

Crystal palace

No...

is this question for J45 only

as i know the answer

You want to give J45 the clue now, since he said he doesn't know?? (by which I am surprised) Just to be sure you DO know the answer - and I can't really think of a clue that doesn't make the answer obvious.

Never claimed to be an expert, just a fan.

Stat's aren't my thing. Though to be fair, most would look it up and find the answer out, personally, i cant really be ars*d..

OK posted in the wrong place, but what does it mean........

J45 did tell you by the way! It's "By the way"!

Just found this:-
"There's Port Vale who reside in the Burslem area of Stoke on Trent although there are several places called Port Vale in the Potteries region. There is Queen's Park Rangers named after Queen's Park in North West London but strictly speaking Arsenal are the only league club in England not named after a geographical location."

OK I have a clue decided upon. I'll add the information that William G. Stewart provided for the contestant in an episode of 15 to 1 that I saw on Challenge TV this morning, and also reveal that I looked on the internet to get more info and brought the list up to date.

Aston Villa 2000
Arsenal 2001
Chelsea 2002
Southampton 2003
Milwall 2004
Manchester United 2005
West Ham 2006

I thought it would be fairly obvious to a keen fan without the dates, but now it should be even more obvious!!

FA Cup runners-up...? (United were robbed in 2005!!!)

Thank you vinogirl, are you a professional cake squasher or is this just recreation??

Well, I suppose it doesn't really matter who answered it. You are more or less correct with your answer, no comment on the other part. The full correct answer to the original quiz is they all lost an FA cup final in the 21st century (or in years beginning with a "2" if you insist that 2000 was in the 20th century!!)
