The way Spurs took Everton apart was very much like they did us at the end of last season. It could have been 7 or 8 if Pickford hadn't pulled of some good saves.
It has long been something I have found annoying - squad numbers. The Liverpool right back Trent-Alexander 66.
Chill GLP. It's just the route by which he gets his kicks.
I never understood why it annoyed people. It really bugged a lad on our team, when he was made captain he insisted everybody wore 1-11. So when we played the Varsity game against Leicester Uni I asked the kit man to do me a special shirt. 88. I was the goalkeeper. He wasn't happy, but he didn't spot it until half time.
And that's why goalkeepers are never truly a part of the team.I never understood why it annoyed people. It really bugged a lad on our team, when he was made captain he insisted everybody wore 1-11.

Ahhh, '88' and its special meaning. I remember Private Eye did a little piece on a player being denied '88' so chose 77 instead.
"G'day Goebbels?" They pondered.....

It should be like rugby union, just hand out the shirts for the game, 1-11 (or 1-15) in that case. None of this keeping a number and creating a brand around it bollocks. Also given how university sports work I very much doubt they had a kit man that made you a special shirt for the game.
It serves as an identifier though for new fans, maybe kids. There's certainly a purpose for it and I struggle to see any benefit from insisting on 1-11. Also how would that work if you're playing 3-5-2 for example? Who wears numbers 2, 3, 7 and 11 in that formation?
Certainly as number 2 to Butland, Hart just seems to have lost all his confidence, and looks as if it has been permanently shot now.
Anyone see Chris Sutton on MOTD 2 last night?
What a bell end he is, thick as pig **** as well.

Well, he did. It is inexpensive to do and it was worth it. A player's squad number is the least important thing about them. 88 was the year I was born, that was the only real decision behind it.
Anyone watching MNF - ffs why the hell are Sky making it into a special event with large letters of the furniture - and Fat Sam -clearly can't afford a jacket that fits him - the stretch marks around his done up buttons are laughable - can't he afford the right size or does he still believe he's two sizes smaller than he really is
