not to turn this into a footy post but surely Paolo Di Canio was the greatest, just for pushing the ref over then maybe Djimi Traore for his backhealed goal against Burnley

eric cantona followed by dennis bergkamp.

What number 25 did they not play?

Matt Le Tissier

Jan Molby - positively Pickwickian

The backs looked like they are numbered Aussie style with 2 and 3 on the left and 4 and 5 on the right.

who gives a poo, honestly?

The ONLY interesting thing about that whole press release is the lack of a number 25 which imo can only mean that our signings for 2010 are not quite complete.

Or is it just a case that we wont have one?

OK give me one reasonable explanation why you would ever leave it free?

Can Tony Smith count? - I think he probably can
Did we forget? - It is Warrington Wolves, so maybe
Have we retired the number? - No
Do we have very superstitious players and /or coach? - I doubt
Fear of expectation/injury playing in a shirt vacated by Chris Bridge - I doubt

The only reasonable explanations are that a) we are waiting to promote another junior to the senior ranks but have not yet decided who. Or b) We are yet to complete our signings for 2010.

It could well be that David Solomona has requested No 26 which I think he wore at Bradford for several years and Vinnie Anderson has asked for No 27 for some reason?

The squad numbers make no difference for me, but I'm surprised that neither Rhys Williams or Rhys Griffiths have been included. TS always liked to include a large number of youngsters in his squad list when at Leeds but hasn't included anyone who hasn't made the list before.

He also appears to have included Hicks who can't get a visa and Clarke who is leaving.

Didn't Harrison play more in 2nd row towards the end of last year with Ben at 13?

I think Ben played more in the 2nd row with Harrison at 13.

Ben at 2nd row and Ben at loose?

Or was it Ben at loose and Ben at 2nd row?

It has been dedicated to the 52, but the person who decided it worked at the shop, so got it wrong...

Has anyone thought about calling the shop to inform them?

I know...I was lead to beleive Sinfield was a shoe in at 13.

Wait til boxing day.

where is clarke going?

tantastic on the 23rd dec,so he looks good over xmas.
hicks has his visa.

as manuel once said. " you know nothing"

no one is leaving.

Looks like its you with the fawlty judgement.

I believe the person you quoted is being sarcastic.

I asked paul wood whos got the 25 shirt and he told me........ Number 25 wasn't issued because only Chris Bridge wanted that number but he got the number 4 shirt so 25 is left vacant, We was asked which 2 squad numbers we'd like and Tony Smith gave them out accordingly.
