Indeed, Chris Smalling against Burnley.

Eight stadiums have hosted Premier League football which have 'Road' in their name. Name them.

 

[Liquid]

Five spring to mind.

Maine Road - Manchester City
Elland Road - Leeds United
Highfield Road - Coventry City
Portman Road - Ipswich Town
Carrow Road - Norwich City
Edit: Bloomfield Road - Blackpool
Edit: Loftus Road - Queen's Park Rangers & Fulham

Can't think of the last one. Stadiums with Road in them are Leeds Road (Huddersfield's old ground) and London Road (Peterborough) but neither have hosted Premier League football.

 

[Vegard]

Loftus Road - QPR
Bloomfield Road - Blackpool

 

[Ross]

All five of those are correct, 3 more to get.

EDIT: @Vegard yep that's another 2. 1 left.

 

[Liquid]

Watford's Vicarage Road makes it all 8.

 

[Ross]

Yep, @Liquid got the majority of them there so I guess it's your go.

 

[Liquid]

Name the ten Parks to have hosted Premier League football.

No peeking.

 

[Ross]

Upton Park - West Ham
Goodison Park - Everton
St James Park - Newcastle
Villa Park - Aston Villa
Ewood(?) Park - Blackburn

 

[Liquid]

Upton Park - West Ham

Wrong. Despite what you will always hear, West Ham United play at the Boleyn Ground which is in the area of Upton Park, London.

If this was QI that'd be -10.

Goodison Park - Everton
St James Park - Newcastle
Villa Park - Aston Villa
Ewood(?) Park - Blackburn

All correct. Six more to get.

I've always wondered about that one. BBC seem to be the only ones to call it the Boleyn Ground though.

Pride Park - Derby County
Burnden Park - Bolton
Fratton Park - Portsmouth
Roker Park - Sunderland
Ayresome Park - Middlesbrough

Ji Sung Park

 

[Liquid]

Neither him nor Paul Parker nor Scott Parker.

 

[Fuzzy]

Going to go with a wild guess, Hull City used to have a old stadium before the one they are currently using.

Not sure if the name is right or not, Boothferry Park ?

 

[Liquid]

They did play at Boothferry Park but never in the Premier League.

 

[Fuzzy]

They did play at Boothferry Park but never in the Premier League.

Damn it!

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Roker Park?

 

[Liquid]

Had that already.

 

[Vegard]

How could I forget Gunnar Halle's old home ground

Boundary Park - Oldham.

 

[Liquid]

That's the one. With his five answers it's @Famine's turn to ask a question.

Goodison Park - Everton Ross
St James Park - Newcastle Ross

[Famine]

Who is the most prolific striker in terms of goals scored in international football who is currently still active and available for international matches?

 

[Liquid]

Robbie Keane has to be a shout. Close to 70 goals as it stands.

 

[Famine]

Robbie Keane has to be a shout. Close to 70 goals as it stands.

And is the right answer. Damn your hide!

It was Klose on 71 before he retired last year.

 

[Liquid]

Andy Hessenthaler was once sent off, walked down the tunnel, put his kit on and played the rest of the game.

How?

 

[Vegard]

Player / manager surely.

Go on. Explain it more for the benefit of others.
