Got 49/50.

The one I didn't get made 86 Premier League appearances. For some reason, I think it was Forlan. Can't remember if I tried him or not...

It wasn't, Forlan wasn't on the list.

It was another United striker though....

Keep Rodgers at Pool.
I have 48/50 and I'm impressed with that. But don't know last one on the list and person who made 249 prem appearances.

Edit: Got Silvestre and parker

49. You know it's getting desperate when you're smashing in Luke Chadwick with ten seconds to go.

Who the feck is the third guy with 105 appearances? I've got the two I consider obvious. One is a loveable crock and the other is probably our best player. The other one?

Climbed to 33 and then my brains just stopped working properly. And i started cheating :)
Forgot the most obvious ones:
Cantona, Smalling, Evans, De Gea, Solskjaer, Hernandez... I am to young to remember the likes of McClair, typed Schmeichel 100 times itd.
But it was fun :)

46/50. Who the feck is on 116, apart from Sharpe? Missed him, Johnsen, Parker and May. Got the last three from this thread.

Can't believe that Anderson has played 105 fecking times for us in the PL. Also, Smalling has more appearances than Stam.

48/50. Who were 206 and 102? Embarrasingly our fourth most capped player was my 48th. :lol:

Got them all with 7 mins to spare, didn't think that I could do it, too young to remember the early years but must have read about them enough.

I have 46/50, cannot for the life of me think who 88, 116x2 and I am ashamed to say 256 would be, even though that one will be painfully obvious

Got him. 50/50 with 6 minutes to spare.

I drew a total blank on the early 90s ones, then I started singing that 'Come on you Reds' song in my head and nailed most of them.

Had 47 with 10 minutes to so naturally I was feeling confident. finished with 47. :(

Although I'm counting it as 48. One of the ones I missed was Andy Cole, but I was certain I had put him in right at the start, so whenever I was thinking of someone with nearly 200 appearances I would run through the team of the early 90s in my head, thinking I had him in the list already. Should have paid more attention.

The other two were:
The two Davids: May & De Gea. I'm ashamed by that last one, and what makes it worse - I thought of DAvid May whilst waiting for the answers to load - so the only one I didn't get before being told was David De Gea, my favourite current player. SHOCKING!

Edit: Also wasted the first couple of minutes before realising it was Premiership appearances. I had entered Charlton about 5 times and was ready to complain about it being a crap game.

He ended his career at the end of our second Premier League winning-season in 1994, and he was a bit of a part-time player in those first two Premier League seasons. Tried him as well, but it was obvious he couldn't be in there.

You'll be kicking yourself on the other three as well.

The Guvnor, possibly the only United player in history to have his name on both the front and back of the shirt, and everyone's favourite mad Russian.

was on 42 with 8mins left, but the site froze...
so had to restart, which of course did give extra time, but also meant I had to re-input those 42

ended with 47, but realised now I'd missed Van Nistelrooy, who I'd had in the original 42!

Saha and Berbatov I missed completely.

See my post above. I had the same goddamn problem.

What are people putting in for Andy Cole? I just went with Cole and it didn't seem to register it.
