    They are the coaches of Barcelona's non-footballing teams.

    Near enough. I suspect that Luis Enrique may quibble with you!

    Xavi Hernández - Handball
    Luis Enrique - Football
    Eugeny Zemeriak - Ice Hockey
    Javier Soler - Rugby
    Xavier Pascual - Basketball

    The rugby team could be relegated to the second tier this season, if they are not careful.

    Apologies, Luis!

    So, what one word might all the following (with a bit of imagination) define?

    (1) happy, smiling and red
    (2) an Italian flower
    (3) something radioactive

    Perhaps 'define' is stretching it a bit. Clue: the answer is very short.

    A child (1), a geographer (2) and a scientist (3) respectively might guess the very short answer, one of which is a cheat in that it isn't exactly a word.

    Not sure why I didn't think of it before, but remembering when my boys were small, I'm guessing (1) refers to the red Teletubby, who was called Po.

    Edit: Since putting the above, I've just looked up Po, and in terms of (3), it's the chemical symbol of Polonium.

    That's it...and of course the River Po flows through Italy.

    Who is the connection between Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes? (The answer isn't an actor)

    BB, I didn't think anyone would get it that quickly. He wrote the screenplay for the 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes and directed the first 2 Harry Potter films.

    Which 1966 top 10 hit song proved to be somewhat prophetic? (or- was rumoured to be so :))

    Had forgotten about this. :emoticon-0111-blush
    Nothing to do with any war, but did include fighting. The name of the group who sang it did include a number...

    The only group that I could find in the UK top ten in 1966 with a number in the name is The Four Tops.but their songs didn't include fighting.
    The only other number in a name I found was Napoleon XIV with "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Haa"
    In terms of prophecy Cher's "Bang Bang" could be said to have something to do with her relationship with Sonny.

    To paraphrase, I'm stumped.
