Solutions

1:B - Liverpool gave their biggest rivals a huge favour on the final day, but Manchester United couldn’t beat West Ham at Upton Park so missed out on the title., 2:D - Balotelli picked up 17 yellow cards, three red cards and just one assist in the Premier League. , 3:C - Bryan Robson led West Brom to safety in the 2004-05 season. They were bottom at Christmas and bottom at the start of the final day but still stayed up., 4:B - When talking about the game some years later, Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross said: "We were 5-0 up at half-time against Liverpool. When we went back to the dressing room, nobody said a word. We just burst out laughing. The manager walked in and didn’t know what to say.", 5:C - Newcastle had a huge lead in January but towards the end of the season it looked as if the teams would need a play-off at Wembley to separate them. The Premier League even printed some tickets for the game, which were priced at £20., 6:B - United led the game 3-0 and then 5-2 but Lukaku’s hat-trick helped West Brom pull it back to 5-5, denying Ferguson a victory in his 1,500th game as United manager., 7:B - When Les Ferdinand scored the opening goal, it looked as if Tottenham were going to help Arsenal win the league. But goals from David Beckham and Cole kept United – and Spurs – fans happy., 8:C - Wigan Athletic were the opposition; Nicolas Anelka opened the scoring; and Carlo Ancelotti was the Chelsea manager. Different times., 9:B - Palace looked safe at the start of the final day but Oldham beat Southampton 4-3 to send them down., 10:C - Most of his Spurs players were vomiting at the time. They thought a lasagna had given them food poisoning but health inspectors later discovered that the players had come down with a virus., 11:D - Warnock had a point. He was speaking after Carlos Tevez had helped keep West Ham up – and sent his Sheffield United team down – even though the Premier League had already fined West Ham for breaking transfer rules in the way they signed Tevez. In the end, West Ham paid Sheffield United nearly £20m in compensation., 12:A - Arsenal scraped into the Champions League after Spurs lost to West Ham on the final day of the season.
