The First One

Welcome to my web log. I mean this to be for lovers of trivia, the beautiful game, and/or The Blues of West London.
A few simple not-quite-rules-but-yeah-you-might-wanna-know-the-stuff:
1. I'd prefer that you didn't comment with the answers as you won't get any response. As most of you who will access this blog are my friends on Facebook, send me a message. I'll let you know.
2. Its purely up to you, but, if you like quizzing, don't Google. Its the cheaters' way out.
3. If, due to some problem or the other, I cannot post a question on particular days, I'll make up with as many questions as I have missed out on.
I will not waste much more time. Questions, trivia, knowledge, information and the like ho!!
