    Just a daft quiz to while away some of the post-Wembley blues. Can you work out which of the following clues relate to this season's Barnsley players? Might be too easy/obvious. Apologies if too hard. Just summat for people to do.
    Answers tomorrow!

    1. Is he a bad un? No, but he sounds like it
    2. He's not Eastfield, Westpark or Southforest.
    3. Not a proverb, but you wouldn't want to carry him to Newcastle
    4. Does he have his own World War Two air-raid shelter?
    5. 19th Century Prime Minister? Certainly no Lord
    6. You could throw the proverbial sink at this defender to try and get past
    7. Creepy vicar with a bit of pride but no prejudice
    8. Not seen him much. Must be in Sheep's clothing
    9. A saint? An apostle? Maybe both rolled into one
    10. Not a player but Homer will be raising a glass

    Think about 4? You're not that young are you? Loads of these remained in people's back gardens after the war.

    Apologies if too easy. I'll have to be a bit more canny if I ever do another. If anyone wants explanation feel free to ask. Cheers

    As a complete coincidence, Earl Russell - the 19th century prime minister - is quite possibly the worst in history :)

    Realised it wasn't a link to the Greek and I have never watched the Simpsons.
