3 wrong answers from Green Calx. I might do this like a radio phone-in quiz, and only declare when someone's got all 5 perfectly correct.

Not sure, but seeing you nearly had to kill someone in football before the 1990s to get sent off, could Number 5 be Gerrard?. or Rooney?

I think Calx is right with Vidic, as is Jah Womble with 1983 League Cup Final.

Yes, that's right. Three draws in 30-odd games - especially in a fixture that hasn't been entirely one-way traffic over that period, in fact quite evenly spread - must be unusual, surely.

CV, Murphy is right, the first one was in December 2000 (but in the "2001 season"). I couldn't find a way of getting the question phrased quite right that I wouldn't have been picked up on that one way or the other.

Kuyt and Berbatov for the hat-tricks, the 1983 League Cup Final, and Nemanja Vidic (4 sendings-off in 14 appearances against them, including three in a row). I think Vidic's is a record number for any player against any club, not just in this fixture.

Kuyt for the hattrick.
