The Ultimate FootballCynic Quiz for those with time on their hands
For those of you who have enough time on your hands to play Sudoku, do crosswords and the like, here is FootballCynic's one-off quiz. Can you find the connection between these four?

Is it Leeds United? She looks as though she comes from Leed s. The implement looks like something their supporters might carry. The dog has a Leeds collar. The tractor was abandonned by travelling Ipswich fans who came to Leeds. How do I get my prize? FootballCynic writes: Er, there is no prize. And, Mr Rick, you were wrong anyway.

I think this a case of numbers. Four is the connection. The dog has four legs. The tractor has four wheels. The multi purpose stapler thing has four attachments. And, the young lady has four pieces of clothing missing. Are you sure this is not an odd man out quiz, Mr Cynuc? FootballCynic writes: Mr Cynuc? A Google of Cynuc finds an article on The Effect of Stimulation of the Medulla Oblongata on Renin Secretion in Dogs. Is this intentional, Mr Knobhead? Anyway, you are so wrong (as the youngsters say).

Rick is half right, I think. This is a reference to the Leeds v Ipswich game. The connections are: 1) The young lady is the streaker at this game in 2001. 2) Leeds have had to make some big cuts - or their attack was blunt that day 3) The dog is a Crufts champion called Elland Dream 4) Ipswich are known as The tractor boys. (FootballCynic writes: Ms Jan or Mr Jan, this all seems a bit flimsy. Google gives no stories of female streakers at Leeds, although several male streakers, it would seem. There's also no record of a Crufts Champion called Elland Dream. Maybe, Peter Risdale had a mutt by that name, as he spent millions he did not have.)

OK, I think I've got two of them. Ferguson makes tractors and Wenger make Swiss army knives. Right track? (FootballCynic writes: Goodness me, there is some intelligence amongst the readers of this website. Who can crack the rest of it? Even if the quiz is now out of date.)

Good work, young ringworm. The other two are 1 - Droopys Scolari - an unlikely name for a greyhound you might say but somehow appropriate now and 2 - the rather lovely Elsa Benitez who is a Mexican model that married that well known basketballer Rony Seikaly.
I will share my prize with you Mr ringworm when it arrives in the post (FootballCynic writes: Good team work. The quiz is solved. The prize is not Ms Benitez, by the way)

Crikey, Your Lordship, nobody's attached the epithet "young" to my name since Leyton Orient went up with Liverpool. And I think you deserve more of the hypothetical prize for solving the tougher half. (FootballCynic writes: It's good to know that the expensive advert footballcynic.com took on the Saga Holidays website is bringing in traffic to this website.)

To be honest old ringworm it wasnt my knowledge. I can reveal that the delightful Ella Benitez is my mistress (please keep this to yourself Lady Knobhead is in the dark on this one). Ella has a fantastic knowledge of greyhound racing.

PS Apologies foer the offence caused Mr Cynic by the "Cynuc" reference. Is the Medulla Oblongata a sort of knobhead? When's the next quiz by the way - i have nothing to do after solving all the Sudokus in the newspapers (FootballCynic writes: What do you mean by a 'sort of knobhead'? Are there several types? No more quizzes, I am afraid. This is a serious website not some cheap game show)

This is nonsense. I looked at this for ages. That is clearly not a Ferguson tractor. Also, this is also not a Wenger knife. She might be Elsa Benitez and the dog could be any dog. Pharcical, I say. (FootballCynic writes: Arwal, thank you for interest. As with all well run quizzes, there is an established appeals procedure. All you have to do is to pay FootballCynic.com £50 by Paypal and your appeal will be heard by our specially arranged committee. If your appeal is upheld, we will return your appeal fee. Memo to Lord Knobhead: It looks the drinks may not need to be on you this week. As you say, Arwal, it's a "pharce")

The answer is Manchester United (FootballCynic writes: Thanks for the post but the quiz has now been solved. And, you were wrong.)
