Question # 174 - Booting Season 2

Welcome to Season 2 of quizzing @ QuIzZiCo 100.00 FM ..

By the way, New scoring system :).. Do not forget!

To kick start the new season, We have a question from the winner of Season I , Captain Chandrakant Nair.

Simple. Just connect .






The Curse of Christmas refers to a trend where the team at the bottom of the table at Christmas has been relegated at the end of the season every year except one (2004/05 West Bromwich Albion) { First pic } since the Premiership started in 1992.
The momentous achievement has since been dubbed 'The Great Escape' { Pic B ] due to its improbability, particularly as West Brom were still bottom of the league on the morning of the last day of the season .

Lots of attempts ! :) ..

Cracked by Debasish, Kamal Rathi and Debasish .

You din't nail it RJN ;) .. and Rithwik, you merely posted the picture after the great escape. Sorry.

the picture is a brown budgie bird of some sort and humans usually pet them as love birds.They are very well known escape artists , that is they can escape through most of the traps easily if trained..the picture is from the movie "THe great Escape" starring richard attenborough, steve Mcqueen etc ,escaping from german POW camp stalag luft..anyways the picture gives away easily there's a light house or its a search light ..people are running, they have airforce insignia and badges on them..they have got to be escaping from something...
..did i nail it?? :)

West Bromwich Albion F.C and The Great Escape.
In 2004–05 Megson's successor, former Albion midfielder Bryan Robson, led the team to a last-day “Great Escape”, when Albion became the first Premier League club to avoid relegation having been bottom of the table at Christmas. However they failed to avoid the drop the following season,and Robson was replaced by Tony Mowbray in October
