- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
It’s TC23 all over again
Made me chuckle and nod
or CR7It’s TC23 all over again
12 Mike Smalling
Love it.
Honestly would've preferred #20 on him due to the van Persie comparisons and of course the raw "finding back of net" ability he shares with Ole.
11 is good though. Attacking exciting youngster coming through the academy just like club legend giggsy with the potential to break many of his records... only time will tell.

Should give it to Bruno Fernandes, he’s much suited to that number. Think he had 8 at sporting.Pogba 6
Sancho 7 YES
Martial 9
Rashford 10
Greenwood 11
Just need a worldie for no.8 now.
Guess I’m just a grumpy old fart and don’t see what’s wrong in calling him his name instead of his number.
not sure why you disliked it anyway. I thought it was pretty good.
I can’t remember fenomeno being called R9 at the time either, it’s all a more made up recent thing since Cristiano had the cr7 to distinguish him from the Brazilian ronaldo? Then messi, fair enough two greats, then cleverly, then martial, it’s just seems now if you Think you’re good, you can be called by just your initials and number. Like Beckham May have been the first to have stitched name boots with db7 on them but I can’t remember him ever ever being referred to or called db7
I understand that’s a totally pointless morning moan
Ronaldo had R9 on his boots over 20 years ago. He’s always had that moniker.Guess I’m just a grumpy old fart and don’t see what’s wrong in calling him his name instead of his number.

You only see it more now because there is more online stuff where people write short form. Nobody calls them that in real life, except for perhaps weird little kids.
Same as what I said for beckham, they may have had it on their boots but I can’t remember them being referred by as that
R9 is better than Fat Ronaldo.

Did Twitter and football forums exist and were popular in the 90s? I don’t think so, no one had a reason to call them that. They still had it on their boots and all over tshirts and clothing and posters. I’ve never heard a single person say CR7 in real life. It’s a short form for online speak and Twitter.
Ok fair enough, I don’t see the harm in just writing Greenwood instead of mg11 Or cleverly instead of tc23. Maybe I don’t appreciate the twitter character limit enough as I don’t use it.
Bruno when Mata leaves? Mejbri in the future?Pogba 6

Keeping the 7 shirt free is obviously a carrot for Sancho but also, there’s not a single player at our club currently who plays right side that deserves to have it.
Really happy for Greenwood to get what is possibly the second most iconic number at the club though. Really big gesture and he absolutely deserves it. Hoping for a big season from him.

Should’ve given him 22 in honour of Bellingham
It comes from the very old days where you had:Oh ok, i honestly hadn't noticed
two full backs on the flanks, no.2 and no.3
Then
three half backs nos. 4, 5, 6 (no.5 was known as the centre half).
Then five forwards! 7 right wing, 8 inside right, 9 centre forward, 10 inside left and 11 left wing.
Them were the days.
JK7 incoming
Mason #11, Sancho #7, Thiago #8.......Sorted!
You sound like a purist like me.
I think you should still have 1-11 vaguely in the right positions, and a lineup that could play quite often.
Not tying up shirts with bit part players or wildly out of position.
I know Scholes Keane etc were glorious exceptions
Bothers me a midfielder at Wycombe has had the number 10 shirt for a decade too
In the classic 4-4-2 9 of the numbers go without saying.
But some people debate which of 4 & 6 are centre back and which centre mid.
You often hear "Number 6" role as being midfield these days, and that's what I would have gone with, 4&5 centre back, 6 in midfield, but I know some 4s were centre mid.
5 or 6.
A slight correction... the names Right wing and Left wing were invented a bit later. The original names for the 7 and 11 positions were Outside Right and Outside Left, respectively.
Them were the days indeed!
Yes, that’s absolutely right! Thank you.
That's an excellent powerful picture. Bravo to whoever took it.
Clearly I’m being pedantic, but why is Rashfords 10 in one box, whilst Greenwood’s 11 is in two boxes. I wouldn’t be happy seeing that go out!
I don't know boss. I was commenting on the picture itself. Maybe the max on sticker number is 10?
I’ve always associated 6 with CB.
At Utd we have had Pallister, Stam, Ferdinand (before moving to 5), Brown, Evans, I’m sure a couple more.
Off the top of my head I think 4 has been our least used number for a centre back, in the PL out of 4,5,6.
I know, and I want having a go at you, just that this sort of thing draws me out of the moment. I end up focusing on something that doesn’t look right, rather than the actual message/ picture.
It's ok boss. It means that you look deeper than just fancy picture.But when people are on about midfielders you always hear talk of whether someone is a 6 or 8.
Never a 4
I know! I imagine if you’ve never watched football, it must be pretty confusing.
Didn't Nobby Stiles wear 4 ? That would support your point of view.
Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden 'had girls back to hotel rooms' breaking strict England Covid bubble after Iceland game.
why are those rich players so stupid?!

Those Icelandic women look pretty hot to be fair.
Not sure how it relates to his new squad number though.
