If that's the case, I will have to go for the one I have 'slightly' more knowledge about ie HISTORY.

There...fixed it

I don't mind as long as it's the history of ManUnited

It's History for me too @Mi-Amigo. Of the 3 subjects it''s the one I have the most knowledge of. Though Geography could be good, depending on where in the world the question falls. If it's the US, despite being an American, my knowledge is sketchy at best 

Inventions, I'm hopeless on.

Geography gets my vote @Mi-Amigo
