AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thing is though, fans now don't even know that number 2 ever was a right back's. These small squad numbers are a thing of the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 For me, these are the only acceptable numbers for their positions. GK: 1, 12 RB: 2 LB: 3 CB: 4, 5 LW: 6,7,11,14 RW: 7,8,11 CM: 6,7,8 FW: 9,10,11,12 Shouldn't the reserve keeper be 13? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 When managers and players are interviewed and put the words "football club" at the end everytime they say their clubs name, absolutely pointless, we know what they are talking about for fucks sake. Paul Merson - Tried giving him a chance but he really is as thick as mince. Ian Payne and Jim White on SSN. Oh and Steve Curry i think he's called, the Man Utd fan/journalist/fat cuntface.

Guest icemanblue Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Isn't the number 6 traditionally for centre-backs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Isn't the number 6 traditionally for centre-backs? If we are talking tradition, half of the modern day numbers were totally different years ago, back in the day of christmas tree formations and nobbley knees.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 1-11 squad numbers are an anachronism. There is no point to them, and I do not know why players should not be allowed to express their individuality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 1-11 squad numbers are an anachronism. There is no point to them, and I do not know why players should not be allowed to express their individuality. As far as i can see, the problem people have is when players have ridiculous squad numbers like 77 or 99 - usually because it's sported on their respective shirts due to some form of sponsorship or other commercial bollocks. Some people like tradition; that sort of thing just epitomises what's wrong with the game. That said, stuff like Gallas - a CB - being number 10 is arguably even more irritating.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 fwiw I still think 14 is the best number to have. Cruyff, Ginola, Henry. Win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
