    I hate seeing the likes of Baros wearing 5, Gallas wearing 10 for Arsenal and Boulahrouz wearing 9 for Chelsea. It's ridiculous. Wouldn't it be great to see us line up:

    1 Reina
    2 Finnan
    3 Aurelio
    4 Mascherano
    5 Carragher
    6 Agger
    7 Pennant
    8 Gerrard
    9 Crouch
    10 Alonso
    11 Gonzalez

    In that team, I'd want Carra wearing 4, Alonso 5, Gonzalez 9, Crouch 10, Mascherano 11.
    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

      Leyton Maxwell (No 33) has also done the rounds around the League of Wales, I'm sure he's at Caernarfon Town now.

        Yep. Traditionally he'd be a no.4, but Masher is even more of a no.4 than Xabi, so he needed another number. With only one striker, it proved quite tricky. It was between 7 and 10 - but Pennant, being the right winger, obviously had to have 7.

          No way!

          No.4 is surely reserved for the defensive midfielder, with the 'stopper' centre-half always being 5, and the ball playing centre half 6.

          Left wing is 11, right wing is 7, while number 9 is the central striker,

            Shaggy, traditionally*, number 4 was a centre-back.





            * It depends how far back you go I suppose but Smith, Thompson, Lawrenson...

            EDIT: And when you look at who wore number 7...

                I suppose so. I was always brought up believing 4 was the defensive mid and I remember that being the case most of the time during my 'football education'.

                  Yeah but that's all wrong.

                    I know what you mean but basically I'm saying our numbers were different.

                    Didn't Shanks introduce it to confuse European opponents?

                      I always liked the fact our numbers were different or "wrong" as conformists call it.

                        I agree. However...........

                        As Gerrard would act as the support striker I'd have to tell him to bollocks and get the number 8 off him and make him swap with Alonso.

                        Would look better then
                        Forwards.......
