Andrew, London

My brother and I are considering manufacturing extremely big goalkeeping gloves to make scoring impossible. Is there anything in the rules about the size of gloves a goalkeeper can wear?

Terrific idea, Andrew - it's the laugh of the week here. But you wouldn't get away with it. There is no rule about this, but the referee has the right to inspect players' equipment (boots, gloves etc) and wearing abnormally large gloves would be considered unfair.

Dave, Birmingham

Is it true that Wolves once suffered relegation three years running?

Yes, they dropped from the old First Division to the Fourth in successive years, 1984-85-86, and have been trying to get back to the top flight ever since. Only one other club has performed the relegation hat-trick: Bristol City in 1980-81-82.

Graham, Newcastle

Which team in the Premiership or the old First Division has kept most clean sheets in a season?

Ray Clemence, now England's goalkeeping coach, achieved that distinction with 28 shut-outs in 42 matches when Liverpool won the Championship in 1978-79. That's a clean sheet in two out of every three matches. In 13 of the other 14 games, they conceded only one goal - the exception was a 3-1 defeat away to Aston Villa.

Ben, England

Two questions for you Albert: How many games does Chelsea's unbeaten League record against Spurs span? And is it true you are a Chelsea supporter?

1: The last time Spurs took three points off Chelsea was when they won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on 10 February 1990. Since then, the clubs' 24 League matches (home and away) have resulted in 16 wins for Chelsea and eight draws.

2: Yes, Chelsea are "my team". Bet there'll be a few choruses "Blue is the Colour" ringing out round the Millennium Stadium on 4 May�they appreciate good singing in Wales!

Angie, Aberdeen

Which Scottish club did Alan Hansen play for before his great career with Liverpool?

Alan was born at Alloa and began with Partick Thistle. He left them for Anfield in a �100,000 transfer in May 1977. What a steal by Liverpool manager Bob Paisley: Big Al, as he is known at BBC TV, is well pleased that his old club, the Jags, have just won promotion to the Scottish Premier League.

David Blanchard, England

I'm wondering if there is any monitoring of the Pools Panel "results", compared with when the actual matches take place.

As far as I know, there has been no systematic monitoring of the Panel, but occasionally a newspaper has done a random check. It's all a guessing game, of course. The panel was invented, to keep the Pools going, in the bad-weather season of 1962-63 when there were mass postponements from December to March.

Brendon Clark, England

If Everton stay up, will they become the first team in the world to have played 100 seasons in top-flight football?

They are going to stay up, and that will give them a world-unique century in top-division football next season. Their current "99" comprise 38 seasons from 1888-1930�13 seasons from 1931-51�and 48 seasons from 1954 to date. Nice one, Brendon.

Steven Rouse, England

I was discussing with a friend the fact that Michael Owen is fairly short and we wonder how many of his career goals have been scored with his head.

I bet there will be some Liverpool fan who can supply a breakdown of young Mr Owen's goals - left foot, right foot and headers. Michael is 5 ft 8 in tall, and in scoring England's opener against Paraguay at Anfield he showed that timing and direction can sometimes be more important that height in front of goal.

Who is the youngest player to have played in England's top division?

This dates back to when the top division was the old First Division. The player was Sunderland goalkeeper Derek Foster (aged 15 years, 185 days) against Leicester City on 22 August 1964.
