What's wrong with football these days? Khalid Boulahrouz is wearing number 9 and William Gallas is the successor to Dennis Bergkamp's number 10 shirt. What on earth is this? Don't you think it's simply NOT RIGHT for defenders to wear 9's and 10's? Those numbers are MEANT for the team's playmakers, goalscorers, heroes and mainly the ones who steal the limelight UP FRONT! Especially number 10, it is THE number! Player number 10 is always the one who either creates or scores the most goals for the team and Arsenal gave that number to a newly signed defender??? At Chelsea, the number 10's Joe Cole, someone who till now, has not been a confirmed regular. Yes, he's a great player and unlucky to suffer from injury but think, is he the number 10 kinda guy?? So guys, what do you think? Do you think it's time we say goodbye to the times when only the team's greatest like Pele or Maradona deserve THE number 10 shirt???

I slightly share your sentiment, as I was surprised that Gallas got the 10 shirt of Bergkamp instead of the 3 of Cole.
Shirt numbers used to be given to players in order from the goalkeepers onwards. So the goalie is 1, the fullbacks 2 and 3 (Usually RB is 2 and LB is 3, cos they go from right to left)
4, 5 and 6 were given to centre backs, although sometimes 4 is given to the defensive midfielder. 7, 8 and 9 were given to the midfielders and 10 and 11 were the forwards.
Of course, nowadays a number is just a number, and it doesn't have any significant meaning. There are no specific rules that number 1 has to be the goalie (there are several examples) and players can take any number they so wish. Football has come to a point now that there's no place for sentimentality and traditions. It's all about money, fame and fortune now.

I was thinking about that too, like you said 9 and 10 were numbers that you had to work very hard to get them, when some player got 9 or 10 in his club it was obvious that he is the best striker in the club!!!!! Like when Zambrotta wears 11 in Barca and he is a defender!!!!! Even when we were kids, every one wanted #10 on their shirts......... 9 and 10 are special numbers for special players and that should stay that way!!!!

Yeah there real but there made in sweat shops in places like Taiwan where the workers have about £1 too share with everyone in the factory meaning they are very poor.

Decaf coffee is a great low-calorie fluid when you're having cravings (and an excellent source of antioxidants).

Well, there is no rule for numbers , but traditionally certain numbers have been given to certain type of players and certain positions only.

Use a vegetable bean dip like hummus instead of ranch dressing or perhaps a fatty cream-based dip.

Do your grocery shopping with a list and a time limit; that way, you're unlikely to stray into the prepared foods section.
