QUIZ: How Competitive Are You?

Ready, set… Let’s find out.

WELL, JUST HOW badly do you need to win?

And that’s “need” – not “want”. The ultra-competitive among us will know that failing just isn’t an option. It’s do or die for those that love to win, while the more laidback are mystified by people who just always have to be right, or first, or the best.

Ah, competition. It’s the spice of life.

Let’s roll that dice and find out how you score…

You've got that streak...
Most of the time you're a good sport, but every so often that competitive streak just bursts out of you. But that's a good thing. Keeps life interesting, right? Just play nice.

    Nobody cared when Salah was missing for over two months last season along with half their team from Jan to end March. Poor Arsenal get an injury and it’s the end of the world. Deal with it. Scraping by a pathetic Ipswich isn’t very convincing

    There’s enough in the squad to still finish in the top two & have a real chance of champions league. They give nothing away so maybe a run of 6 wins on the spin and we’ll see where that puts them . I have a feeling that the game at Anfield will be a decider.
