Footie Trivia Question of the Week
Despite Gooner's suggestion of dumping the trivia, I've decided to persist because...well, the feature appeals to the public educator in me. That said, give the rest a chance Dave!
"Who are the two players who have scored in every season of the Premiership?"

I will let everyone else have a go but I thought there was only one!!!
By the way, I do know the one
No, there are definitely two. Thanks for showing a bit of restraint (for a ManYoo fan!)
I do know both of them then.
Your brother just called me an idiot by email
Good guesses Sir Trev, but neither fits the bill. When the Premiership started, Ready Ted was still languishing in the Second Division with Nottingham Forest, but he has scored every season since. Shearer retired a couple of seasons ago, so he doesn't quite make it either. But close.
Steady on, Gooner! It's one thing calling fellow bloggers idiots by email, but where's your guess on the trivia? ;-}
I have waited long enough.
I have given you alll the chance but you guys have blown it.
Bob,I don't think you are right about your explanation of Ready Teddy. He played with Forest in the first ever televised Premier Leauge game on Sky. He scored the winner at home against Liverpool. He hasn't scored in every season because he spent a season in the second tier with West Ham.
As for the right answers.
The two players that have scored in every season of the Premier League are Gary Speed who scored for Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton AND the great RYAN GIGGS who has scored all of his for the GREAT MANCHESTER UNITED!!!
I have the email that Dave provoked me with as validation of my accusation.
I assure you that it's comprehensively idiotic.
As usual, Dave is completely correct on that one - Giggs and Speed are the two in question. And yes it was the year with West in the second tier that rules out Sheringham. Tip of the hat to Sir Trev for correctly spotting Giggs. As for the on-going feud between our two United and Arsenals partisans, I have only this plaintive quote from Rodney King - "Can't we all get along?"
I rise only to extreme provocation. You must have noted that I don't follow along with or comment on the matches involving United and any of the chasing pack, including Arsenal anymore.
It ain't me babe...
Check the latest post on your favored "Rock the Crossbar" site - "Arsenal in 'Lack of Class' Crisis. You think there's more needle on this fair blog? Think again, mate!
Check the last time I posted on it too while you're at it.
Nah, sod this. I pay the piper often enough in life that I've only to be entertained in my spare time. And when I'm no longer entertained, and confronted with the same argumentative s**t time and time again, something snaps. That bunch of haters drove me out of Summers and I fear that this is going the same way.
So long.
WE LOVE YOU STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Bristol City fan said it best on the 606 call-in show Sunday: "If the fans of the big clubs think they've got it hard, try being a Bristol City fan for a week."
Despite Max Bretos's comments, Arsenal are still fourth in the league, in the Carling Cup Final, FA Fifth Round and Champions League Round of Sixteen. No need to have such a thin skin.
I do hope you'll reconsider, Gooner, because your comments are valued on the LOB.

You seem to be having no problem coming through loud and clear, Dave. What's the problem.
