Can you remember this?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Can anyone remember this being on the bbs a while back and if so, what was the answer cos I've just been asked again and can't remember!

***** Arsenal cannot do it unless Arsene Wenger leaves.

Manchester United have done it more than any other British club.

Everton, Charlton and Oldham have done it, but Wimbledon will never do it unless Crystal Palace go bankrupt.

Manchester United did it in 1992. Aston Villa did it at their 1st attempt. Tottenham, Wolves, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester City and West Ham have all done it.

Liverpool did it in an unusual way.

No one did it last season.

No one is expected to do it this season.

What is it ???

Yes Jacko, it was on here several months ago but I can' remember seeing the answer :-(

My guess would be changing grounds or changing ground names, team names?

I'm fairly certain it was a dud question or the question had been asked incorrectly....

I'll now opt for changing the name of their home ground, e.g. Old Trafford to "Theatre of (wet) Dreams"?

This is taken from the football guardian:

"Have you ever seen this riddle before?" asks Philip Mountford. "Arsenal cannot do it unless Arsene Wenger leaves. Manchester United have done it more than any other British club. Everton, Charlton and Oldham have done it, but Wimbledon will never do it unless Crystal Palace go bankrupt. Manchester United did it in 1992. Aston Villa did it at thier first attempt. Tottenham, Wolves, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester City and West Ham have all done it. Liverpool did it in an unusual way. No one did it last season. No one is expected to do it this season. What is it?"

Oh, not this one again Phillip. We actually covered this last year in the Knowledge Archive. As far as we're aware there's no correct answer to this riddle. You can, however, find the answers to thousands of questions in the Knowledge Achive."

I would assume Phillip wrote a letter to the Guardian asking the question (?)
