The other four have finished 0-0., 4:D - The new Macclesfield boss is not lacking in confidence anyway., 5:C - Ballybrack told their local league officials the player had died in a motorbike accident so they could have a game postponed. But he had really moved back to Spain., 6:D - The elder Klitschko brother held the WBO title from 1999 to 2000; the Ring magazine title from 2004 to 2005; and the WBC title twice, from 2004 to 2005 and from 2008 to 2013., 7:D - Staunton filled in as the Liverpool keeper when Sander Westerveld was sent off. Steven Gerrard was also shown a red card that day., 8:B - Flowers, who won the league with Blackburn in 1995, took over at Solihull Moors in June., 9:D - Chelsea’s points total kept going up in their four seasons under Ranieri – from 61 to 64 to 67 to 79 – but it wasn’t enough to please Roman Abramovich., 10:B - It finished 5-5.
